Crazy Idea/A poem for Ben

I have this crazy idea. It involves a few hondas, some friends, and a flip camera. I want to go to the plateau with some of my friends and film a music video for a contest that one of my favorite bands is doing. 

The contest is for their song "My Town" off of their new album. And basically anyone can enter. All they have to do is film themselves and/or some friends lip synching or singing to "My Town" in their own town. And the band will use all footage that is submitted. Oh. The band is Hollywood Undead.


So it is a little explicit. But you're not going to be actually singing. And wouldn't it be cool to be in a famous bands music video? Something to think about.

On to other things, tomorrow will be a year since my close friend Ben passed away. This post was originally going to be about him. It was even half way typed up, but it's too hard for me to share some of my memories with him. And some of the details weren't necessary. But I miss him terribly and I always will. I think I speak for the whole town of Port Heiden when I say that.

My friend you have gone away
To a place with much brighter days
In these eyes a tear finds its way
To the skin and atmosphere where you have once stayed
A stream of memories will flow forever
In my mind and to my heart where you will be forever
If I could trade it all just to have you back
I would do it anyday, then my life woud be back on track
But to my belief you are in a better place
So I will cover our footsteps, no track no trace
All I ask is for you to watch over me
Since you have left from the world you knew formally
I wish I could see you. it's been so long
But for me it feels like the day that never comes
My time is limited so I will end with this,
Benjamin Thomas Beattie, you truly will be missed

I dedicate that fresh piece to Ben. I wrote that because I felt like I just breezed over a topic that matters to me. But I wrote that in like 5 minutes.
