Ahhhh...Halloween

The only time of year when a bulge is an accepted accessory to a costume...




Delicious and tremendous.

Hey what a suprise! It's grey outside!!!!

Ahhh. Winter's coming. Nothing more motivating than the 6 months of greyer and greyer skies we have to look forward to.

Well, it's Sunday. My sister leaves tonight. It's been a good visit. I got to sleep in on Saturday and just kind of relaxed most of the day. I find it funny how most Saturday I spend alone, and you'd think that when someone came to visit that would change. But nope. She went to visit a friend yesterday so, I was alone again. Which I didnt mind cause its nice to have a little space and whatever, there's just something about Saturdays where people stay away from me. Maybe I'll start showering a little longer Saturday mornings....

Going for lunch in a bit. Just have to wait till the dryer is finished. Then im gonna make a pizza and salad for supper and then she's going home.

Busy week coming up. Seems like Im doing more and more everyday, working later and harder yet things are piling up. Its not too bad though, because I've realized the busier I get the less money I spend. The catch tho is I tend to eat worse food. I think that's why there are so many rich fat people. It's got to be. Im a genius.

Speaking of me being a genius. I had to look up how to spell "grey". Now, this is the kind of info normally I'd keep to myself in order to not look stupid, but I was so shocked, that I just had to share. For those wondering I wasnt sure if it was spelt with an 'e' or an 'a'. So I wasnt too far off. It's not like I was trying to insert a 'w' or something.

I need a haircut.

Badly.

If there's one thing about having someone stay with me, it's that I keep my place really clean. Why is it that Im ok with living in a mess, but not ok with other people? I think thats backwards. But probably pretty common in people my age.

Wow. This was a longer post. I wonder what's changed since I started typing...hmmm....oh look! It's grey outside!!!

What's happening?

Work. Sleep. Work. Sleep. Work. Sleep.

Nutso.

It's Thursday and im exhausted.

My sister comes to town tonight. She's staying with me till Sunday, so that should be fun. But to be honest, im looking forward to sleeping in Saturday morning, more than anything. I've got to get home and clean up and wash sheets and AHHHHHH!!!! Frick. I just want to sleep.

Anyways, boring post, but whatever.

Hey, does anyone want to spoon with me? No sex or anything, im too tired. I just want to spoon. No? Ok then.

10:35 Sunday.

I'm sitting here, the apartment has that 'fall morning' kind of cold in it. Waiting for my hot coffee to finish so I can warm up with that. Mmmm. Then it's off to work.

I havent been on the blog a whole lot lately, cause nothing is really going on. Work is pretty busy, and so when I get home I usually just crash on the couch.

I wish I had a maid. I think that's the only thing I hate about working alot. I tend to let the small things go and my place gets dirty. The thing is, I could clean it up in about 15 mintues, but I just dont have the energy. Plus it's just me that sees it.

My friggin mouse is acting up, I move it around and it has this random kind of stall or stickness. Annoyyyyyyying! <----- (How do you know what letter to emphasize when you this? I just kind of went with the 'y' but, It was just a guess. Thats the shit they should teach you in high school if you ask me. Instead of Algebra.)

Ok, well I gotta do my football picks, shower, and then Im off. Hopefully something interesting happens this week, and I can write about it. Like, maybe, I'll win alot of money! Or get asked out on a date! Or someone will give me a car!!!......or maybe I'll get a coffee cup that annoys me and will feel the need to comment on it. Predictions anyone?

Oooops

Wow, its been awhile! Its Thursday morning, and I was just doing my rounds around the net to check the news and whatever, and I found something that I had to post.

I guess this girl was just really excited about her routine...




My favorite part of all of this is just the part where on the little picture to the left, they've labeled her "France's Golden Girl".

I suddenly dont feel so bad about being like 11 years old, sitting in a gymnasium with about 1000 kids in silence at a Tae Kwon Do tournament and then farting on the floor. Yes. That happend. But dont worry, I blamed the kid next to me.

Its Saturday! Saturday!

Went for dinner last night, and woah! It was good. Nice night overall. Had a few beers, a nice dinner, and handful of close games of Madden with Bryan, and like a 4 hour conversation with Barathor on the phone (sorry Barry!).

Ahhhhh.

Where's my coffee? Its noon and I dont have any yet. What's that? It's brewing? Wicked. Good work John.

Well, nothin going on. Just kinda sitting around, waiting for Bryan to give me a call, cause Im going over to watch the Godfather this afternoon.

Then, I guess its gonna be a night home not doin much. Which, right now, I think sounds like a good idea.

Woah! Coffee's ready.

Wow.

Today was the kind of day where there's a million things happening, and yet at the end of it you got nothing done. Blah.

Im in whiny sick mode now. Which I hate, cause it's a drain on me and everyone around me, but hopefully it doesnt last long. Im just staying in tonight and watching the UFC show. Should be good. That's if I manage to stay awake for the whole thing. (10 o'clock is late, you know!)

I got a ride home from a girl from work today which was awesome. Much appreciated. I was going to take the bus and was just not looking forward to that at all and then what do you know, all of a sudden she comes screeching to a stop in front of me, my savior. Highlight of my day by far.

Anyways, that's it. Im sick and boring. So im going to go lay on the couch and see how long I can go without moving. Should be fun. And if not fun, at least it will be relaxing.

Saturday

Well, I went and saw "The Departed" today. Wow. Just awesome. Scorsese is back. Such a good movie. Only thing I didnt like, was Mark Walberg. Blah. He totally seemed out classed surrounded by all the other names in the film, and he was the only guy that when I was watching, didnt suck me into believing his character.

Walked around downtown a bit, read in Chapters and then I went shopping. Found a sweater and a shirt. But holy shit. Johnny's gotta hit the gym. My tits are sagging, and im getting my belly back. It's not round like before, but the "muffin top" is coming back. Gotta get that under control pronto, or else all the ladies might stop knocking down my door. :P

Thanksgiving is tomorrow. Cant wait.

Gonna hit the shower and then relax on the couch.

Saturday.

The Way I See It #141

The Way I See It #141

"I used to feel so alone in the city. All those gazillions of people and then me, on the outside. Because how do you meet a new person? I was very stumped by this for many years. And then I realized, you just say, "hi." They may ignore you. Or you may marry them. And that possibility is worth that one word."

Thanks Starbucks cup. You've brought me delicious coffee and wonderful words of wisdom.

Now, if only I could somehow communicate to the Starbucks cup, that the problem isnt saying "hi", it's the flurry of terrible conversation I manage to trap myself in once I say it.

So, to all the people that will eventually find themselves stuck in an awkward conversation with me about "what they've been up to since college" or "where they're working now", with no way to get out, just waiting for the oppurtunity to say "Annnnyways, I better run" just thank Starbucks and they're wonderful advice.

Seriously tho, its good advice. It's just im mildly retarded/insane. I think it would be better if they had special cups for people like me, where instead of words of wisdom, they just had some random neurotic question, that I could spend all day walking around thinking and stewing about. For example:


3 examples of the perfect Starbucks cup for me:

Example #1--

What's the deal? # 136
Why do they still make fruit on the bottom yogurt?

Example #2--

Seriously. #361
I don't think people realise how underrated potatoes are. Seriously.

Example #3--

Here's an idea... #067
Why dont you write a huge blog about a Starbucks cup, you ranting fool.



Now those are cups I could really listen to!

The Big Book of John

So, as you can see, I havent posted in awhile. I really had nothing to say. Kind of lazy'd around all weekend, and not much else going on. But im at work, its 11:15 and im exporting something (which takes about an hour). So I figured I would write. I still had nothing to talk about, and was actually going to talk about the delicious orange im eating, but thankfully for all of you, something else came up.

I found (well, Kevin found) the BIG BOOK OF JOHN!

Here's the story, Somtime in 2005, a guy named Jordan started as a Production Assistant at my work. He sat up at the front of the studio with all of the rest of the production staff. I always go hang up there whenever im doing something like exporting for an hour (thankfully for them, I've now got this blog, so they can get some work done). Anyways, I guess sometimes (that's right sometimes) I have been known to go say some stupid things. Well, Jordan took it upon himself to start keeping track of those things, and didnt tell me. One day, he decided to show me what he's been doing and what has since been known as the Big Book of John. Of course, Jordan doesnt work here anymore and the book no longer has any new additions, but thankfully, due to modern technology the interent will always be home to the proof, that I may in fact be mildly retarded.

So without further adieu....
