Beatles and ADD



Still not the bugs, stupid. No, I just thought I'd explain the last entry. See, today, 2 pages into my history reading about farmers and cattle and stuff, I realized I wanted to hear a Beatles song. I couldn't think of any particular one, I just had a craving. So I went to kazaa and downloaded about 15. I had to make sure I got a good! The I started listening to them, but since I didn't know any of the words, I kinda forgot I was listening to them and started making my tape. I think I have ADD. And then I realized that you could hear the Beatles on my tape. I almost left it. What if Mason's a Beatles fan? He would be like "wow you like the Beatles?" Then we would just have a chat instead of a lesson and the world would be a great place. Then I thought what if he HATES the Beatles? And instead of a nice conversation, he just yelled at me! So I started my tape over, Beatle-less.

Umm, back to the entry. After I did a little bit on my tape, I went and read a few more history pages. Then I got wrapping paper for Becky's present. Then I played Clue online. Then Aubrey called. Then I wrapped Becky's present. Then I made the rest of my tape, then I finished history, and THEN I went to www.lyricsdomain.com. That was just supposed to prove my ADD point. OK and I went ot lyrics domain because I didn't know any of the Beatles songs and I wanted to know the lyrics so I could sing along. And when I found some lyrics I liked, I downloaded that song too. Now I have about 20 songs. One's a ballad about John and Yoko. I like it.

And then I found this one in German (see below). I could understand it and it made me so proud, I thought I would blow up! So instead of exploding and getting blood on the walls (bloddy walls don't sell a house, Dad always said) I had to post and spread the joy. But since I have ADD I didn't get a chance to really tell why I posted. Only now I have. But I'm not really done talking.

Today at church practice the trumpets especially sucked (without me, what can you expect?) and Jerimiah, the director, and a french horn player, told them how to finger some note, and then he turned to us french horns and said "See horns, I'm so smart I can even tell the trumpets how to finger their own notes" and I said "I can do that too!" And everyone laughed. Except he didn't at first, probably because he doesn't get it. Everyone else knows because they're in high school or I told them. But then he laughed just because everyone else laughed. Some day I'll quit and I'll tell him. Or maybe I'll write him a Christmas card.

Oh wow. I just had an epiphany. The REAL reason I wanted to find Beatles songs was because I was talking to Nick's away message today. And I made him a poem. And the last line was I WANNA HOLD YOUR HHHAAAANNNNNDDDD. So that is so obviously a Beatles song. Thus, the whole history book thing was a lie. Thus the whole entire ADD thing was a lie. Wow. Liars burn in Hell, Ashley.
