How I Learned to Be Me

My daddy taught me to smoke. And I am only 4-years old.

He said his older brothers and sisters tried to teach him how to smoke when he was 4-years old, too.

His big brothers and sisters didn’t want him to tell on them, he said. That’s why they tried to get him to  smoke, too.

But he didn’t like it. He said it made him cough and he thought it was stupid.

I don’t have anybody to tell on. I just think smoking is cool. And it doesn’t make me Read More

Smiles are the best medicine

I may be wrong but I will tell you the number one reason why people become doctors.

BTW (That means by the way, he he he…) my daddy often says, “When people start off with ‘I may be wrong but…’ they are usually right.”

The number one reason why people become doctors, I think, is because at some point in their lives, somebody they love very much got sick. A mommy or a daddy or a grandpa or a daddy or a grandma or a daddy. And they felt unable to help them.

My daddy got sick the other day. He pre teens (Ed: pretends) to be sick sometimes so I can practice on him. He lets me give him shots and wrap his head and arms
and stuff in case I ever want to be a doctor for a different reason.

But the other day, daddy got sick. No, he didn’t die. Don’t worry. But he wasn’t daddy. He couldn’t play. He couldn’t be a horsey. He couldn’t be a monster. He couldn’t swing me around or pick me up or take me to the Read More

There’s a famous joke.

Some guy asks a taxi driver, “How to you get to Car Engine (Ed: Carnegie) Hall?”

I have a question. “What’s a Car Engine Hall?”

Yesterday I wrote the 6 steps to becoming a music star. The first step is practice.

I don’t know if some day I’ll be famous or not, but if I do become famous, I am sure somebody is going to want to see this video of me playing the guitar in the ‘early days.’

Yeah, I practice, practice practice. I learned this from my brother, Benjamin Belew. He is a classical pianist. And even if he is my brother, and even if I do feel part ill (Ed: partial), he is really really good. Check out them there links and see for yourself.

Anyway, yesterday you could see my singing practice. Today, you can see my guitar practice. Tomorrow I will show you a brief Youtube of my first the boot. (Ed: debut).

But, don’t get too excited. I was pretty scared. And I am sure I am going to get better.
