Because I love it.

I have no idea wha'ts goin' on...

It's lovey dovey
Lets get touchy, take my hand
And lets go fucky
Show you want to, say you don't
You'll use others, I'll use dope

Lame Duck

Can somebody please get this asshole to leave office early? Sure...we don't really hear about him that much anymore since we're too busy electing the next president and all, but that doesn't mean he's been a good boy! He's still set on destroying the environment and treating minorities like...well...THE ENVIRONMENT!

Speaking of minorities, one presidential "hopeful" thinks gay people are a public health risk to America! He's also said that anyone with AIDS should be quarantined. Thanks Mike Huckabee! You've just cemented your place in history as a grade A ASSHOLE! Sorry if his beliefs have offended you. How can they not? Don't cry though. He also doesn't believe in evolution. If that doesn't give you a chuckle, then I don't know what will.

I'm begging you America (or the 2 people who may or may not read this blog), please don't support this guy when you walk into that voting booth in November. I know it'll be hard with such supporters like Chuck Norris and all backing him, but I'll have to consider you mentally retard (sorry if I'm the one being offensive now) or brain dead if I find out he got your vote. I'd allow for it if we were still living in the the time of Jesus, but hey...were not. It's 2008. Please don't support a douchebag with such out dated beliefs.

Oh John, you're getting way ahead of yourself. He doesn't even have the official Republican nomination yet. That's one thing to be thankful for!

On a much lighter note...

I know I really shouldn't laugh at this, but...


It's just like the South Park episode! Hysterical!

The Wedding

Last weekend we went to Davis, West Virginia to attend Amberlee and Damians wedding. It was seriously the best time I've had in awhile. It was just so relaxing and fun.

Jamie, Jaime, Casey, and I all drove up together. Casey and I got to snuggle in the back the entire time. Jaime and Jamie were nice enough to cart us up there. :) We left on Friday around 11. The drive up there was rainy, but really nice actually. But then again, I was chillin in the back seat so I'm sure not everyone might have thought that it was as calming. We finally got up there around 4, I think, and basically took a nap shortly afterwards. We woke up, went to Big Johns Family Fixins for A&D's wedding rehearsal dinner. That pizza was the shit.
After that we just went back to the room for awhile and started drinking. I think a few of us managed a little dancing in there, too. Our place was the place to be that night.........until the drugs showed up in the other boys room. hahaha.

The next day was the wedding. After everyone got up and chilled for awhile, Casey and I went and got A&D a wedding card from everyone. While we succeeded greatly in finding our way to the nearest store, we also failed miserably in picking out the right kind of card. I guess we somehow missed the big print "Happy Anniversary" on the inside. Oops...
Once we got back and everyone was showered, we started getting ready. I'm not gonna lie. We all looked super hot. I mean, I always knew we were a good looking group of people, but damn if it didn't show that day. And I somehow manipulated the "Halloween costume" rule, where you could come dressed up, into the "John gets to wear makeup" rule.

A short while later, Sarah showed up. Along with Ben and Adam. It's always good to see the WV kids. After that, Grace and Ms. Bach showed up. Again, a pleasure as always. From there it was up the mountain for the wedding! The ride up was terrible. You're on this ski lift, the winds blowin', the air's cold, and getting colder (10 degree's colder at the top, actually). It was just not fun. Cigarettes helped though.
The actual wedding was SO amazing. It was very spiritual and earthy. It was so very A&D. I loved it. I want my wedding to be exactly like that. Right out there in nature. Of course I left my camera in the room. Blah. Once the wedding was over, it was right back to the ski lift and down the mountain. It was freezing. Frigid even. It was so much worse than the way up. hahaha. Casey and I were holding back tears for a little while there.

The wedding was, of course, followed by dinner and party. The food they had was amazing. Vegimite lasagna, stuffed shells, etc...it seriously made my week. Once dinner was over, it was time to drink......and do lots of it. I was definitely taking advantage of the free keg thing. I had so many beers. I can't even remember how many. Plus, I had some green shit they were serving, a long island icetea, some jello shots, and some more beer. So maybe not that much, but I was fucked up. I fell a few times. I'm so embarrassed. I don't want to be that sloppy drunk person that's at the party, but I was just having so much fun. hahaha. Jaime was pretty drunk, too. We all danced for a good while, which is always a blast when I'm blasted. Oh, and did I give a lap dance to A&D's mom? I'm pretty sure I did. And I also have a bruise on my ass from a little tumble I took. I was a wreck. But I was loving it.

That's pretty much it! The next day we had to go home. This "condo" or whatever we were staying at had SO MANY rules you had to follow before you left. Empty the trash (must be 30 pounds or less) and take to the dumpster. Remove all sheets and blankets from beds and place them in the bathroom. Run dishwasher before leaving (this one I'll let slide). Make sure fire in fireplace is out OR make sure metalic curtain is covering it (fire wouldn't go out, and curtain wouldn't close all the way). Place all towels in the washer and start it before you leave. Turn the hot water pipes off. Turn the heating off. Oh, and have a good day! What shit heads. Then they left and envelope for a tip? I wanted to shit in it and leave it waiting for them.

The ride home was swell, too. Again, Casey and I in the back. We stopped at some candy shop, where the girls bought pounds of candy (literally). Oh...and we also stopped at this gas station rest stop, with a diner inside. I know it sounds trashy, but it wasn't so bad. The woman who waited on us was SO NICE! Seriously. Nicest person I've ever met. Super friendly. She'll be sober in 20 years next August. You go girl!

So many memories from this weekend. It was good fucking times.

ROOOAAAAAAR!

Owls make me happy.

Life is like throwing up the food you just ate, after listening to George Bush deliver another hilarious speech. Things that go down, eventually come back up...if provoked...or, no. That's not what I'm trying to say at all...
What I'm really trying to say, is that there are always ups and downs. I've been having a lot of ups lately. I've felt pretty all right with myself this past week or so. I'm proud of the work I've done. And the changes I've made in these past 2 months. But I'm still feeling the "down" time I had 3, 4, or however many months it was ago. It was pretty low. And as much as I try to get away from it, it sticks on me like my shadow. All of those things that happened in the past don't hurt nearly as much now as they did back then. But I definitely lost a lot of things and some people by the end of it. And I don't know what I could have done differently. Still, it wasn't all my fault. Maybe I shouldn't have been so honest. Well...not so much honest, but open. That's a better word. I shouldn't have been so open, and hopeful, and naive.
But anyway!...back to my point, I actually have been having a lot of good times lately. Going to WV with Jaime this past weekend was a blast, as expected. I've been noticing those results from the gym. I've been making new friends. Were going back to WV next weekend for Amberlee and Damien's wedding, and we get to dress up for Halloween! I'm going as a zombie maybe? We'll see...but yeah, times have been good lately.
