It's My Life

Howdy folks, name is Jack Barrett and I am 16 years of age. If you are reading this, then it means that you have found nothing better to do than go onto this blog that you may or may not have been assigned to do. Well, I guess you are here so for that I thank you for attempting to enjoy a blog of mine. This is all assuming that you are not an internet "troll" come to spread your hate to the furthest corners of the interwebs. Moving on, I am currently living in Omaha Nebraska and attending high school at Creighton Prep where I am a sophomore. I have a younger brother who is two years younger than I am, and I own a pet dog. As I am sixteen, I have the legal ability to drive a car, which I do in a 2005 Ford F-150.

Now, that all of the basics are out of the way we can begin the real stuff! Actually, this stuff will still probably not be as exciting as a Barrett 50 cal. My hobbies include all of the traditional stuff like going to the movies and hanging out with friends, but there are a few things that many people do not do. For instance I high jump, I participate in Mock Trial, and I play the guitar. I have played the guitar for a little over a year. I cannot read music in any way shape or form but I do have most of the rhythm guitar styles down, but I am just starting to do soloing techniques. I know that people who don't know anything about the guitar or even music in general will have no idea what I am talking about, and the people who have played the guitar for a long time will think that those concepts are too simple and I am not specific enough. Oh well, I guess I can't please everybody.

My favorite genre of music is rock and roll. More specifically my favorite band is Led Zeppelin. My favorite song is written by Led Zeppelin titled "Stairway to Heaven." I also enjoy alternative rock bands like Rush and Green Day. Personally, I despise "new age" music because of its lack of meaning and repetitive feel. Artists are also not creative these days, and they even borrow from old artists. The best two examples of this are Sam Smith, who won a Grammy for his music theft, and Pharrel/ Robin Thicke who made millions off of Blurred Lines. 

Well, I suppose that you have had enough of my rambling and I'm lazy so I'll cut it short and end with this last bit of information. I am currently attempting to get a career in aviation, but if that doesn't work, I will try to become a lawyer.
