Some of the greatest ideas in history have not been 100% original, but rather a new take on an old idea. There are numerous examples I could name, but I'd rather you just take my word for it.
This brings me to my greatest idea, or at least, my greatest idea so far today. I'm going to start a website called MyEbayGoogleSpace.com. Granted, I don't know what exactly will happen on that website, but I do know it will make me lots and lots of money.
I'll give you all a heads up before the IPO.

Rap Videos
My friend Scott recently wrote a blog about rap videos. There are quite a few rap songs I like and it has been many, many moons since I erroneously thought that it was all c(rap) done by people with no talent. I definitely don't think rappers are retards, but, yeah, I suppose I'll agree with him that in their videos they could switch things up a bit. I've reprinted the blog Scott wrote and below it is the comment I left for him.
--From Scott's blog:
I just watched a series of rap videos. Here's my message to the people involved in rap music, and specifically the people making rap videos.
Dear retards,
Yes, you read that correctly. You may want to look into the possibility that you are, actually, retarded.
Here are three words for you. They are not big words, so they may have some meaning to you: Do. Something. Different.
Please, just try it. Write about something different. Make a video that's different. Have an original idea. Just one.
I am glad you have found some success in what you do. Really. But please take a look at the work you're putting out there. You're standing there, rapping directly into the camera, and you have your friends around, which is nice, and you also have some women with big butts willing to shake those butts in your video.
This is all very nice, but you know, how about trying something original? Just once.
Because while I'm sure you seem cool to some people (probably other retards), but to most of us, you just seem retarded. And we're bored with you doing the same thing over and over.
So, stop doing that, you monosyllabic retards.
Well, no, I guess maybe I shouldn't say that. Calling rappers retarded is actually insulting to retards. So, I'm sorry for saying that.
But, please. Do. Something. Different.
--My response:

Cell Phones Part 2
I don't want to hear anymore about how I need to get a cell phone.
Yesterday, I called three different people on their cell phones and left voice messages for them. There was information I needed from them ASAP. I did not receive a response from any of them. No return calls. None. Nothing. Nada. Cero. No Dice. No Andrew. No Clay. Zippo. Harpo. Oprah.
So how is this different from me only having a land line with an answering machine? People have said to me, "Brandon, what if I need to get ahold of you immediately?" Well, looks like a cell phone doesn't necessarily solve that problem, now does it?
So you can take your fancy cell phones with your Muzak ringtones and your diamond encrusted.....oh hey, that reminds me. There is a woman at my work who sent off her cell phone to the East Coast so that she could have it bedazzled with lots of shiny fake jewels. I think she paid $150. She said she got a great deal.
Folks, paying more than $5 to decorate your phone is more ridiculous than the fact that I still own and use an address book with names and phone numbers written in it. Maybe I should blog about all the old timey things I still do and have.
