Wesley vs. me

This one's been making the rounds on the innertubes:



Raising a deeply personal question for me. In short, is this guy a cooler little kid than I was? In my favor:
  • I played and sang by myself when I was a good deal younger than five.
  • I played actual chords.
  • I sang in tune.
In his:
  • Instead of churchy songs about Jesus, he's playing a Johnny Cash song about murder.
  • His guitar doesn't have a picture of Mickey Mouse on it.
  • the whole YouTube-sensation thing
  • I bet he does't cry when his dad won't let him play his guitar until he catches a baseball 10 times in a row.
  • nice hair
Yeah, I guess he's probably cooler. Oh well.

    Bet he hasn't written any songs about me, though. Not nearly as cool in my book.

    I think you win solely on the basis of playing actual chords. Someday, that kid is going to have his mind blown when someone shows him the 5 extra strings on his guitar.
