Are You Ready, For This To Take a Hold of You?

Nothing gets done during the summer. Scratch that less productive things happen during the which is why it has been roughly two months since I have posted anything. At first I felt awful about this then I realized nobody else made a post so now my conscious feels clean.

Since I posted last not much has happened my sister graduated friends have moved away and I started a weight loss challenge with some co-workers. The most significant of these three things is the one about people moving away since I am now without The Man Child and Leaf now that they are in Regina. I now live in an empty house by myself, well for a few weeks at least and I have learned something important about myself. I cannot live by myself. It just doesn't work at all I lay in bed all day and really lose the will to do anything. I think I need someone around to almost impress/motivate me to not be a total slug. Thankfully this should be ending in the near future however I realize that it will continue to be an issue whenever I move or when my roommate takes more than a 3 day vacation.

Well that's all I have at this moment in time next post I will most likely continue the 30 post song challenge with Post 13 "A Song That is a Guilty Pleasure" hopefully it doesn't take 3 months to get it written

A second recurring problem I have is the separation of David Johnson neurotic guy living in Yorkton and Fox FM's David Johnson. I know some of my colleagues have special twitter/facebook/blogs that are meant for the public to see as well as their own private ones but I am not one of those people I just have a fan page my sister made that I periodically update when I remember it exists. However more and more often listeners are finding me on Facebook and Twitter so I now have a dilemma. Do I add them as a friend despite not knowing them to give myself more exposure or do I delete the request and continue to post things willy nilly regardless of how they would affect listeners perception of me. Twitter on the other hand I have less control over who sees so I have decided to go through and sterilize it and remove all mentions and links to the blog since I really don't easy access to it however if someone is determined enough to find then I feel they should be rewarded in being able to read it and all the revealing stuff contained within seeing as how I am far too lazy to update two Facebook profiles, two Twitter accounts and two blogs especially when I go 3 months without uodating just one from time to time.

If I Was Someone Else Would This All Fall Apart?

Today was a good day. Jacko left so I will no longer have to deal with him and his general creepiness. Actually that is really the only thing that happened today besides the fact that I was in bed all day watching T.V. I'm not sure why but most of my favorite T.V. show focus on people doing illegal things. Shows like The Wire, Breaking Bad, Dexter, Sons of Anarchy etc. I'm not sure what it is but I find that I can into these shows much easier than I can conventional dramas and comedies. Maybe deep down inside I want to do bad things or maybe I enjoy these shows because of the people trying to thwart the criminals or maybe it's the fact that in almost all these shows the criminals have good intentions. Even in The Wire where the main criminal organization doesn't have any good intentions you have characters like Omar who is a Robin Hood-esque character or in the second season you have the dock union that may be doing bad stuff but it does it to ultimately help everyone in the union keep their jobs. However I now feel rather guilty since I decided to Torrent The Wire and Sons of Anarchy since I never see them on T.V. and I couldn't afford to by each season of each series so now I am trying to figure out a way to financially show my support for these incredible T.V. series. The fact that I have yet to meet anyone else who has watched The Wire is very disappointing since I believe it may be the single greatest program to ever appear on Television. If you do not believe this to be the case then watch the first season or at the very least watch this clip
also I want to meet someone who has seen the series to have an Omar vs Brother Mouzone debate with

I recently talked about the likelihood of a federal election here and of course for those of you who remember it or just read you now know that I was wrong. Way wrong. So now that we are in election season I have decided to blog about the election however I won't be doing that here instead I have made a second blog to talk about all the fun political stuff. I have decided not to link to it here or announce it's title but it's also not hidden so it should be easy enough to find if you feel like reading it and if you decide to leave it be it's no skin off my nose.

I'm Gonna Beg, Borrow or Steal, So I Can Have Some Feelings Too

It's recap time! Both mine and Marley's blog are synced to post at the exact same time. So if you want to read a similar but  more successful post you can read her blog That's So Highschool 28 Days ago I said I would try to make it so I fit into my grad suit. Well after 1 whole month I can honestly say I don't fit into it anymore than I did February 2. I literally did nothing to help meet my goal aside from occasionally making sure I was only eating healthy foods and not 2 minute microwave junk. It seemed like everytime I went to go sign up for a gym membership the gym magically disappeared as if it was unplottable. Even more infuriating is the fact that numerous times when I was broke or to busy to get a membership the gym was in plane sight. I have not given up on my resolution and have until May to make sure it fits. On the other hand I finally got around to changing my guitar strings something I talked about doing back in January. Yes I procrastinate but eventually things to get done. I do plan to continue to attempt to get into my suit but don't expect anything anytime soon

I am going to Saskatoon on Friday and I am very excited about this since there are many people in Saskatoon that I haven't seen in quite awhile. Friday is also a mildly significant day and I will have more on that on Saturday most likely. So if you are reading this and I know you and you are in Saskatoon and you aren't already busy that night then give me a shout since I want to see as many people as possible while I am there since I have to leave by 8 A.M. on Saturday morning to be back at work on Noon.

And finally April will be a good month because as of April 1st Jack-O will no longer be living here. The Man Child is finally fed up with him and told him he has until the end of the month to get out here. You have no idea how happy this will make me since it seems everything Jack-O does drives me nuts. There is a slight chance that whoever replaces him will be worse but I highly doubt that would be possible. So things are looking up and that makes me happy! That also means less posts that consist of me complaining and more about how awesome everything is! That however does not mean I won't sneak in a few ripe cynical ones from time to time. Adios Amigos!

I Get Ideas I Get A Notion, I Want A Nice Little Boat Made Out of Ocean.

So I wasn't going to post but for some unexplainable reason I got 9 readers today despite the fact I only got two on the day I published it. I am still trying to figure out the logistics behind "blogging" but I am slowly learning new things. I am slightly conflicted with it though because I want to have as many people as possible read this because it would be a giant ego boost (Yes I am aware that 90% of the people who read that last line will never read this again) on the other hand I mention people in here and I don't say the nicest things about them like my stupid roommate Jacko who I hope gets a urinary disease because he drives me and the The Man Child absolutely insane. Yes I know that I don't use real names but it is not hard for them to know I am talking about them which is why I don't post anything on Facebook and leave it for twitter and word of mouth. There is literally no point to that I am just killing time until my chicken nuggets are done.

I am linking to Marleys Blog again because she has decided to co-ordinate posts for March the 2nd for a month a after February resolution thing. I won't talk about the results until that day instead I give you an update from This Post. My dear dear mother found me some weird liquid thing that contains Melatonin and it works incredibly well. Three nights in a row I have gotten more than 7 hours of sleep and and was in bed before Midnight! This meant I was able to be at work by 8 A.M. to do show prep which meant my show sounded good which makes me happy! Ya that's right I used an exclamation mark for two sentences in a row because I was yelling the whole time. That Time I wasn't. Anyways there will be a new post on Wednesday at the latest possibly Monday or Sunday if I feel super ambitious. I won't but still I can pretend I will. My nuggets are done so I'm out

You Can Ponder Perpetual Motion, Fix Your Mind On a Crystal Day

I have decided I will write about leaf next time when the whole saga is over. Also I won't rant about Jack-O I will instead describe how I entertain myself now. It's called small acts of torture and I stole the idea from a Stuart McLean story. It works like this everyday I do things that by themselves are no big deal or would go unnoticed however in conjunction with everything else or by doing them everyday they become things that drive you insane. One example would be baking once a week and always making something the person your torturing hates. If they confront you about your evil it is easy to turn the tables. One that I enjoy is changing the setting on Jack-O's laptop whenever he isn't around and leaves it out in the open specifically his internet settings. Every time this happens he gets frustrated and blames the router or the stupid computer for not letting him go online. Another fun one is shutting off the lights when they are still in the room. You don't do it every time just once every day or two. I am able to think of new ones everyday some are mostly harmless and usable in this situation others are quite malicious and not applicable.

I am undoubtedly paranoid. If you ever want to scare the crap out of me send me a text or leave a message saying, call me its urgent. My boss likes to send me texts at 6 A.M. saying are you coming in today I need to talk to you it's important. Every time I get that message I think I am about to be fired even if I haven't done anything wrong I blow everything out of proportion. The other day my dad text-ed me saying call me when your free it's important. I thought somebody had died it turned out he wanted to know if I had something he had asked me to do the day before (which I had). I would be so much happier if there was some way of including a rating at the end on how dire the conversation will be. From now on when I send a call me message I will include a number at the end of the message between 1 and 10. 1 being the burger I just ate was really delicious and 10 being your whole family fell off a cliff and died. So next time I leave a message that says call me when you get a minute 3 you will know not to freak out.

Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right...

O.K. I have a dilemma. I have two roommates The Man Child and Jack-O you could say I have three roommates if you include leaf. Anyways I like living with The Man Child we both agree on how clean the house should be are schedules work that we see each other every day but not so often we get sick of each other. Jack-O on the other hand makes me miserable. The Man Child likes to say he lives with a nineteen year old and a forty year old who acts like he is seventeen. My dilemma is that I want to vent out my frustrations with him on here since this is a weird public diary. However I don't want this to become something where I just rant about people that bother me since it would be totally irrelevant. Should the next post be about Jack-O or should it be an update of my time looking after leaf while The Man Child is gone to Cuba?
