The month that keeps on fooling

So, I just read this rather unsubstantiated article but funny nonetheless. It appears that kids who list Lil Wayne as their favorite artist are the dumbest in the nation. Now I do not list Lil Wayne as my favorite, but he is constantly in my top five rotation. This article lacks some credence though. I think some of Lil Wayne's music is super clever, not all of it of course, but the man's word play definitely takes thought. I think this study is more critical of demographics and the kids who enjoy his music. I do not think that music can make you dumb, but if you are dumb maybe you listen to a certain type of music. That is more what it seems like to me, but I do not know. Anyway, check out the study that has lots of different groups on it. My favorite group is actually near the top of the study, so maybe I'm just half dumb. Study on music Preference!!!

Fooling April

So I spent April Fool's Day up in West Jordan and was fooled in a way that I never thought. So, I was watching tv in my front room and I got a knock on the door. I answered it and was greeted by two little kids from down the street. They seemed really excited and told me that my car was in the middle of the street. I thought they were just yanking my chain, but sure enough I looked and my car was in the middle of the street. Now I live in a circle, so there was no immediate danger, but my car was blocking nearly the entire street. Apparently my clutch popped out and the parking brake couldn't hold the car on the slope so it rolled back into the street. The kids had been playing in my front yard and were freaked out because they saw my car rolling back with no one in it. I was kind of embarrassed, so I ran inside to give these two heroes some reese's peanut butter cups. As I was running out to give them the candy I slipped down my back stairs right in front of the kids. I couldn't do anything right. I gave them the candies though and returned to watch my lfietime original movie. I'm not even kidding, I watched a whole lifetime movie yesterday at home because nothing else was on. Oh well, I sure got fooled.
