This is a picture of my oldest son. Do you see that thing on his head? That is a Mau5head. He wears it to Deadmau5 concerts.

So, do you see how detailed it is? He designed it, bought all the parts with his allowance, and put it all together by himself in three days. Pretty damn creative, right?

So, why the hell does my son have a C in his Honors Science class right now? Well, that is because he has hardly done a damn thing for his Science Project, which he has had the plans, deadlines, etc since the third week of school.

He can build a Mou5head, but can’t figure out how to do anything for his science project.

Yes, he is grounded I am so unfair.

Those were the days… Drove my mother to distraction.
“You can build an amp and an electric guitar from a dead stereo, computer and atari yet you can seem to finish your report on Shakespeare?” Then she shakes her head.

Good times, good times.

I think that if you really want to punish him, YOU will take the Mous Maus Mou5 whateverthehellitis and go to the concert instead of him.

And I would like photos of that, too, please.

Oh- he isn’t going to any concerts at all right now.
If I could stand the sound of rave music for over two hours non stop, I would totally go to the concert instead!

Awesome. Not the C. The Mau5head. I want one.

If I could go back to when I was that age, I’d punch myself square in the face. Hard. Then, when my teenage self woke up out of the coma, I’d lecture him good and hard about the cost of wasting teenage energy and creativity on… well… whatever the hell that is.

Point is, I’ll come down there and beat him with a clue-by-four (metaphorically speaking) if you want. I’ve been in his position. The culture may be different, but the feelings remain the same.

Reminds me of a Led Zeppelin song…

Don’t we wish we all could go back to our teenage selves and beat the crap out of us?

It looks like you have a great kid! In need of a little self-discipline, perhaps, but aren’t we all?

Remind him that he may not care about his grades or a Science project, but the admissions counselor at his preferred college will care.

Believe me, I have had the college talk. Right now, that is so far away for him that he doesn’t “get it”.
Sigh…. Hopefully next year will be better!

I have to admit that he did a really good job, which is awesome since he sucks at school right now and may have to make mou5heads for a living.
