Does n e 1 else know how difficult it is to write an autobiography? Is it basically like a 'blog', except printed on paper? I've been through a lot, and I just feel like people could rlly learn from me. My life has had lots of ups, downs, and miscellaneous 'trials and tribulations.'
I feel like the most interesting years of my life were probably age 11-16, just cuz there was a lot of uncertainty...What kind of car would I drive? ... Would I lose my virginity b4 it was too late? ... Would my parents' marriage last through my tween ages? Just want to write stories of my life that appeal 2 a lot of ppl.
I'm thinking about starting a service that can convert a person's online social networks into a book. For example, photos from ur flickr account, status updates from twitter, tagged FB photos, and posts from your blog/old live journal are aggregated into a meaningful book. Then I could give a copy of the book to my parents to show them how meaningful my life has been, since they haven't been able 2 follow me on a day-to-day basis for s0 many years.
But srsly yall... sometimes it is hard 4 me to relate to 'celebrities', 'politicians', and 'athletes' who 'write' autobiographies. I know that their stories are supposed to inspire me, but I just start to get jealous that they are more talented/famous than me. The world feels 'absurd' and 'random' and maybe even 'unfair.' They make it seem like they 'rose above' adversity to achieve greatness. It's hard 4 me to identify with 'greatness' or 'escaping from the wrong side of the tracks' because I am neither GREAT, nor do I come from a home on the poor side of town.
Feel like my autobiography might not 'inspire' people, but it would still be meaningful 2 me. Might start a rough draft of it in Microsoft Word. Might have to hire a famous writer to 'ghost write' since I got a really low score on the SAT. Might use a blogger to 'ghost write' since they are more talented than mainstream journalists.
Excited about the 'Carles Chronicles.'

Certainly Sir is a band that I've been listening to for a while now. I've enjoyed their songs for a while. Maybe I got into them when I listened to a lot of Postal Service, but I don't think that matters, right? It's good, though. Another huge sell on Certainly Sir is their website. Check it out. GREAT flash based website that highlights their image, and the music. Too bad they didn't build a purevolume type of thing with that interface.
The other song is a remix by The Teenagers of The Good Books. It's pretty good, and a great demonstration of the traditional Teenagers remixes model. Particularly the bass.
