Hai guys! I'm eating a sandwich as I type this, so it'll probably take me awhile.
The Dollar Tree rocks my socks. I bought a magic deck of cards (cheaply made, but I figure I can give it to a niece or nephew when they get a little older after the novelty's worn out) and a new pair of reading glasses. Nerdy Black, of course.
Laney's coming over tomorrow. Which is good, because I very rarely find a dude to hang out with that's as much like me as he is. Same face, same music, same sense of humor, same movies, both draw, both musically inclined. It's really strange, but at the same time, it's refreshing to be able to hang out with a guy without having to listen to stories about being 'so completely wasted last night'. Which is why I don't have very many guy friends.
I got a freaking Harmonica for Easter! Fucking around with it, I taught myself how to play the beginning to the Super Mario bros. theme. It's awesome.
Sorry I haven't posted here in awhile, I just had a lot of thoughts that I wasn't sure if anyone cared about reading that didn't pertain to what was going on in my life, so I posted them on my blog/art site. Here

Check it out, if you wanna read the stuff, or see my new art, or check out some new bands and movies.
There are so many comics I wanna check out, it's ridiculous. But I don't wanna spend the money to go by them all, or buy the graphic novels of the story arcs I wanna check out when they're done.
Aaaaand that's it for now.

Ya know.. there are times, when you're really not that hungry at all, and you know there is something effing delicious in the kitchen, and it makes hungrier than you actually are. A La Roca chicken quesadilla is screaming at me from the microwave, and I know I'm not that hungry, but I know it's sooo good. Fuck it I'ma gonna get it.
Ok. so EXTREMELY good news. I got a 50 cent raise at work. I couldn't be happier about it. That is gonna help out so much, it's not even funny. Just knowing we're gonna have extra money every payday is supremely comforting.
I now weigh 200 pounds. That's amazing to me. I've dropped 57 pounds. In october, I weighed 257, and now I'm down to 200. I did it. I did it without starving myself, without some fad diet. I did it without cutting out things I like. Except soda, which I didn't eve really like in the first place. I'm so happy with myself. I feel so good and healthy now.
I need a haircut.
Hmmm. I think that's about it. I've got some more late night musings coming in my other blog, so if you want to read the ramblings of a total geek, go check it out. The username is Johnnyxmarvel. I think I posted it in my last entry.

Alright. I started a new blog. I'm still gonna use this one, for my normal use. Talking about me, and my life, and the usual goings on. But the new one, is basically a place for my overthinking mind to go and pour out all the shit that it's in my head. Usually about geeky things. If you guys wanna check it out, go on over to http://johnnyxmarvel.livejournal.co m/ and friend me!
I've lost 45 pounds! Fuck yeah! I'm so ecstatic, I could do the Snoopy dance. I'm also quite happy now that I've got dark hair again. I dunno what the hell my hair was; reddish/blonde/light brown/bronze/shitty. Whatever, I've got my dark brown hair back, and I feel like me again.
Also, I've discovered a love for Suzi's apple turnovers. Yumyum in my tumtum.
Also, I really FUCKING HATE Hot Topic. Number one, they don't sell Coheed and Cambria t-shirts. Number 2, the shit they do sell is ridiculously over priced. Number 3, they sell poser shit! I watched a "how to be scene' video by some "How to be scene" website on youtube and they were talking about how you should buy buttons at hot topic, but tell people you bought them at shows. It really pisses me off about all the shit I like, that these scene kids buy simply because it's cool to like it now. I always have and always will like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Captain Planet, X-Men, and Transformers, but it's cool to like them now that thye've hit 'retro' status, and people make fake vintage TMNT and Marvel t-shirts. Shirts you have to pay 30 fucking bucks to have. And not to mention, they had a paper thin plastic X-Men wallet at Hot Topic that they were selling for 15 bucks. FIFTEEN DOLLARS! I'd pay 5-7. That's it. And they were selling a scarf that was purposely ripped and torn and tattered and poorly made for 17 dollars. Why would you pay out the ass to look like you bought something at a thrift store? I wanna go to a real thrift store and buy shit. Hell, one of my all time favorite shirts I bought at a thrift store. It just really irritates me that people wanna shell out the big bucks to look like they didn't spend shit and don't care about how they look when in reality, they care more than most people. BE YOUR-FUCKING-SELF AND STOP CARING WHA T OTHERS THINK! I love that it's cool to be a geek now, but it's a bittersweet victory for us nerds. On the plus side, we're getting more recognition, and people are realizing that we're not all awkward losers who live in their parents' basement. On the negative side, there are tons of 'wannageeks' coming outta the woodwork because Iron Man was so cool, and X-Men was badass, and Seth Rogen, the everyman, is making millions of bucks. I'm happy for ya Seth, you're the fucking man, but dammit, these people who, if we went to high school together, would've made fun of me for wearing a Wolverine shirt, are asking me questions about the things I've loved since I was a kid because now it's cool to like them... ugh. It just irritates me. I'm sorry for ranting, but it irks the fuck outta me.
And I can't fucking STAND GUYLINER!

Step 1: Put your mp3 player on random.

1: Am I more than you bargained for yet
2:Faint white figures paint my sleep
3: Yeah, he's a looker but I really think it's guts that matter most
4:In the final curtain call you left me here with the coldest of feelings
5: Lay back baby and we'll do this right, there's blankets in back we can use
6: Well I'll wait till you listen, I won't say a word.
7: Love me cancerously, like a salt sore soaked in the sea
8: Can't you see that I wanna be there with open arms
9: I think it's time to blow this scene, get everybody and their stuff together, ok, 3,2,1, let's jam.
10:Wise men say only fools rush in
11: She says she loves me but she comes and goes when she pleases.
12: I'll say it straight and plain, I know I've made mistakes.
13: Hello, I've waited here for you
14: Hello helicopter, are you here to stay
15: I don't feel the way I've ever felt, I know
16: I'm missing your bed, I never sleep.
17: The young, stale memories of what played a role to your part
18: If you're listening, whoooaaaa
19: I saw the western coast, I saw the hospital
20: Open wide, oh so good, I'd eat you.
21: Here you can be anything and I think that scares you
22: I'm a ghost of former self, forming a nonformidable more bionic toxin of mental health (good luck with that)
23: It's cold and raw, the north winds blow black in the morning early (And good luck with that one too)
24: I can silently sneak through your halls, I'm a ninja
25: Close up camera one, the hero sings in this scene
26: Dear child they're asking us to move
27: Wrong way lose turn is this a game that you play with your enemies
28: There's a light in the shed that should help you find your way
29: Today's on fire, the sky is bleeding above me and I am blistered
30: Alone at last, together in a photograph
31: Someday I fear I will be rescued from the boredom line
32: What is this that I feel, and what is this that I fear in these arms that whored out amongst the worms that mate in these fields
and since it was so damn fund, here's a bonus one
Bonus: Stutter step to the beat of a disparaged lover

Ok. So karaoke last night. 'Twas fun, got to hang with Vanessa and Jeremy and Erica and Kaytee and muh Baby. Erica sang a Sugarland song. Sounded perfect. Jaytee sang a Rehab song... not so much. However, he made up for it by singing a Social Distortion song pretty good. He and I were gonna do Hero by Josie Scott and Chad Kroeger, just cuz it was easy, and Vanessa and Candy were gonna do Spice Up Your Life by the Spice Girls but we didn't put it in in time. But whatev.
HOWEVER..... Today at work I sliced my fucking thumb open. Yes. SLICED. With a knife I sharpened FORTY FIVE MINUTES BEFORE so it was extra sharp. Looked like it got down to the meat, couldn't be sure. Anyway, i got 2 stitches. And the Doc numbing my thumbtip hurt worse than the actual slice. It hurts pretty good now. Constant throbbing. It looks cartoonish though, cuz of all the gauze they put on it. It's HUGE. And when they were prepping me for the sewing, and after it was done, my thumb looked dead, because of the stuff they put on before they started sewing, and the black stitches. My thumb got a damn autopsy. I get them taken out in a week.
There was this dude at the bar last night, that proved to me, you can be drunk as a skunk and still be philosophical while trying to dance. He said, (whilst slurring HEAVILY) "I don't like half this music, but I'm dancing anyway. I'm just trying to get people to dance ya know? The words mean shit to me, but I like the beat, and I want everyone to have fun. I just want everyone to have a good time. See him? He looks like he's having a blast!" And then followed such deep, kind conversation with "I just wanna go home and play my guitar.... unless I get some pussy!!" So... I lol'd.

Gah. Work sucks. I just got home after a 14 hour day. Opening AND closing the fucking place. Whatever, at least I'm getting some money.
I feel SUPER creative. I'm drawing like crazy, I made a new hemp necklace. Ideas just keep coming, and I can't keep them out. I love it!
I'm excited for Kendra's wedding. To see everyone. To hang out. To NOT work. To have fun. It'll be good for me.
My hair is cut, and it feels sooo much better.
I bought a hat from Khol's. It's pretty much my favorite hat in the world. Ever seen the movie Loser with Jason Biggs from American Pie? Yeah.. it's THAT hat.
Pretty much everyone I work with is sick, or has BEEN sick in th past week. I'm praying I don't get it.
I'm done cuz I burned one of my typing fingers at work.

i dunno. anyway, check out ROASTERS. there's a small difference.
Man , today sucked. I hate my job sometimes. I love cooking at my job, but when they schedule me just to make salads and nachos, I could seriously choke someone. Yesterday AND today, I had to work Plate/Nacho, and BOTH days I ran outta nachos to make, It just pisses me off. Thankfully, I have some funny people to work around, and I don't get too angry.
If you guys read my post on Roasters, you guys know I'm working on a banner, now that all the chracters have been introduced. SO just to reitterate, if you guys want one, let me know!
I've discovered a CD called "Punk goes Crunk" where a bunch of bands cover hip-hop songs. I'm stuck on Say Anything's cover of Ol' Dirty Bastard's "Baby, I got your money" and some other band's cover of "Nothin' but a G Thang". It's hilarious!
I need to pay off my library bill so I can check out more books and comics and stuff. I owe them 36 bucks. Cuz my dogs Duke and Big Guy, ( I know, very unimagintive) ate a copy of Armand, the Vampire when I checked it out some 6-7 years ago.
Candy's Birthday is coming up soon. I'm excited! Even if she's not. Why? Cuz I love her. She'll be 22. That's right boys and girls. Heh. I got me an older woman. Be jealous. I know you are.
I had a dream that I was being held captive in a Disney character concentration camp along with Ariel, Beast, Jack Sparrow, Aladdin and Jasmine, Woody, and Lady and the Tramp. yeah. We broke outta that bitch in straight up Metal Gear Solid style. Beast was ripping motherfuckers, Ariel slapped a few with her fin, Jack confused them, Aladdin and Jasmine were using evasive maneuvers, and Lady and the Tramp used their clearly supererior noses to sniff out the exit. It was quite insane. But, we bonded. I think Ariel and I have a future. Fuck Edward.
That was a joke. She's a cartoon.
But seriously, we got it goin on.
Anyway. I'm going to check my mail, I think I just got a reply to a comment on youtube.

Yep. Period. It rocks my socks.
That is all.
