I'm officially out of ideas for titles. YAY!

Today I practiced frugality by saving money and not buying anything expensive, even though I was at a book store and a lot of items seemed tempting. I mean, like... REALLY tempting, especially since I had the money in my pocket and everything.

But I didn't buy them. Yay me!

I ignored the virtue of honesty though, because I blatantly lied to my sister about who took her candy. I blamed Emma. It was me. ME. *Sob*

yeah not really. I'm not even that sorry about it. Is that wrong?

Another day, another virtue both used and ignored.

Today, or rather, last night, I practiced the virtue of industry by working my butt off even after getting a shot that made it harder to work. I made the absolute best of my time and even got ahead with my work.

I did not, however, practice humility, because I am not a humble person as a rule.

Yesterday's virtues. (Practising Ben Franklin's Virtues, day three!)

Yesterday I practised the virtue of cleanliness by cleaning my room and taking a shower and stuff. As a rule I do try to keep my room mostly clean and take a shower at least once a day, but you know. For the purposes of this blog it'll do.

I ignored the virtue of resolution, because after I cleaned I did NOTHING until I went and hung out with my friends.

Following Ben Franklin's Virtues, day two.

Ahoy Ahoy feller's 'n females!

Today (or more accurately, last night,) I practiced the amazing virtue of chastity by not having any form of sex at all! Not that I had very many chances to, but it's the thought that counts, no?

I did not, however, practice the virtue of industry, because I did not exactly manage my time well. While I still got all my homework done, it required staying up late to compensate for my own time wasting previously. I probably need to do better about that.

Whelp, that's about it. I'll post again later with more updates.

PS.
Has anyone here ever read the crucible?

Following the virtues of Ben Franklin, day one.

Today I followed the virtue of Temperance (Eat not to dullness, drink not to elevation) by not drinking and by controlling myself when it came time to eat. I only ate a single poptart for breakfast, even thought I really wished I had eaten like... 15. I also didn't drink any booze, which is not something I typically do anyway.

I did NOT, however, practice the virtue of silence (speak not but what my benefit others or yourself, speak not to trifle's.) because i'm never quiet. Anyone who tells you that I once upon a time was is a DARN DIRTY LIER.

anyway, in case you didn't know I now also have a blog with Jared, a more... real... one. Like, It's one we'll hopefully be doing more.

I'll also soon be updating the blog more with more information about my boy Ben Frank.

For now, party on dudes and dudettes, i'll be rocking with you another time.

Welcome! WEEELCOME! Come in! Please!

  Hey guys! Come on in! Please!

  My name is Matthew. Call me Matt, please. No seriously, do it, or i'll rip out yer eyeballs.

  Three simple rules, 1. Don't talk about my blog. 2. DON'T talk about my blog. 3. Tell your friends about this place!

  This blog will be on my main man Ben Franklin! I'm sure you've heard of him at least once. So my man Franklin was one of the "Founding Fathers", and was a real great guy. 

  He "discovered" electricity, went to france and negotiated their assistance in the revolutionary war, and also helped us make our constitution. 

  I'd uh... say more but honestly I just want to post this and get going.

  Until next time comrades! 

  Ciao!
