everyone should know:

that I have a friend named benjamin gene schilling who is 17 years old and moved far away from placerville (our hometown) to los angeles to pursue his dream of becoming an actor/comedian/entertainer/inspriation.

and I just thought the world should know, or at least the handful of people who read my blog, that I (matti hawley mckenzie) believe in him.

I believe in him a lot more than I believe in most things.

and he's gonna make it.
