An Indepth Look Into A Geek's Soul

This whole posting is pretty much going to be a shameless plug.  But, because you are reading this anyways, I assume you have time to waste and will therefore continue to read, no matter how terrible it ends up being.  For this I applaud you, oh hopelessly bored Internet User!

Plug One:  Dino RPG

Alright, I guess I should have told you that these plugs are terrible, internet game plugs.  The first one we'll talk about is Dino RPG.  It's this little internet based RPG where you loosely control a cutesy dinosaur and complete quest, fight random monsters, and generally waste your time.  I decided to try it recently (read:  today) and think I might stick with it for awhile.  It's free, it's easy, and something that you can play on a typewriter.  If you guys are interested to join me (which I think you should), go ahead and head over to this site here.  It is going to ask you when you sigh up for a reference, and I would appreciate it if you said geekcorner refered you.  I get gold or something like that this way.

Plug Two:  My Brute

Yeah, this game is kind of old.  I remember a time when a lot of guys on Facebook were all over this game.  Never really saw the appeal to it then.  Things change I guess.  Anyway, I created a guy on a whim really, and the simplistic approach to it is kind of thrilling.  I think I can easily get into this "game."  So on to shameless plug two.  If you go here, you will find my guy, thegeekcorner, ready and willing to fight your newly created brute.  If you make your guy fight me right away when you click on the link, you get to be my pupil!  That makes you awesome, and gets me experience.

Plug Three:  My Website

You guys who read my website but aren't memebers should join as members.  I think you'd like it.  It's one of my goals this year to get at least 10 members, and I think you guys can be an instrumental part of that.  Anyways, thanks for helping out in any of these endevours.  It makes me that much more of a leader.

Peace Out.

Alright guys, this is twice in one week?  Hell, twice in two days?  What the hell is going on?  That's right, I'm blogging.  Like, professionally.  Only not.  Because I don't spellcheck.  Spell check?  Two words?  Heck if I know.  Anyways, enough rambling, seeing as how I tend to do that enough.  It's time to talk about something of some importance:  women.

Seriously people, what is up with women?  More specificaly, why am I so scared to approach them?  It's like, hey, I have some confidence, so why don't I just go up and ask the cute girl over there if she'd like to go grab lunch?  It wouldn't be that hard, would it?  I mean really.  It's not that hard.  However, I seem to fail at this.  See, it goes something like this.  *Hides behind something*.  Yeah, just like that.  Pretty bad.  I either do that, or see a cute girl and run into something.   Kind of embarrassing when you are the library pushing a card and you run into a table.  Or a pole.  Or something like that.  Yeah, I'm smooth like that.

On the same topic, I feel that all my awesome, hot, female friends need not to be married or engaged or seeing anyone.  Because well, I'm friends with you, and you're hot, and we need to hook up.  At least a drunken late night hook up?  Can I get a woot woot?  No?  You sure?  Okay.

Peace Out.

Man you guys, working out nearly killed me today.  It was the first time I've worked out this year, and me in my cocky arrogance thought I would be able to handle anything I could throw at myself.  Boy was I wrong.  But I'm getting ahead of myself, lets start at the beginning.

You see, I believe I may have mentioned that this is going to be the Year of the Jon.  I can still sense it, too.  Especially when it comes to me finally getting another girl.  Being single is fun and all, but sometimes you just want someone you can go home to and bitch about your day who won't look at you too funnily.  Anyways, I think I'm getting some attention from a couple of ladies on campus, but it could just be my ego trying to build itself up again.  I thought I'd help them notice me more by working out some, you know, to build up my muscle, loose some weight faster, that kind of thing.  What was I thinking?

Starting off, I felt just great.  You know, a couple of sit up here, a couple of push ups there, that sort of them.  Heck, I even stretched before I started all of this, so I thought I was doing fine.  Turns out I wasn't.  About fifteen minutes in, I was like, "Oh yeah, I used to do those frog jump things.  I should probably do those too."  That's where everything went downhill.  I did a bunch of those (in this case a bunch mean ten) and stood up and felt super dizzy.  Like, hard to stand dizzy.  Also felt like throwing up.  I got some water, hoping that would help, it didn't.  Sat down for awhile until it passed.  No puking, no passing out, just uncomfortable feelings for awhile.

Was it worth it?  Maybe.  I am down to 190 pounds of pure Jon.  I think that makes it worth it, seeing as how I've lost eight pounds since I've lost posted something on here.  But who knows.  Only time will tell.  Hopefully at the least the females out there reading this will at least give me a second look next time they see me.

Peace Out.

It's a brand new year!  2010, the Year of Jon.  And it will be.  I can feel it coming, that this is going to be my year.  I'm not sure exactly what it is, be it I come across a lot of money or I finally get a girlfriend again or maybe I just become an entirely better person.  Who knows.  I just have good vibrations about this year.  Maybe it has something to do with the actual number, 2010.  Half that and you get 1005, which is actually the start of the model number of an Asus netbook we sell at Best Buy.  Crazy stuff right there.

Anyways, a new year brings New Year's Revolutions!  Woohoo!  I think my bigget one this year s to loose a good chunk of my lard.  I weighed myself today and found out I'm a rather chunky 198 pounds.  Not good at all.  That pretty much means I've gained thirteen pounds since Jimmy and I broke up.  It must have hit me a lot harder than I thought it did.  Anyways, I'm aiming for a weight of 160 pounds.  I realize that loosing 38 pounds in one year is possible, even if it's not totally healthy.  I would be super happy if I got down to 175 pounds.  At the very least, I want to improve my body mass index.  I haven't gotten around to calculating what it is right now, but I hope to do that this weekend.  I'm sure there's a way to found out how to do that on the internet somewhere.

Beyond that, my other resolution are a lot more vague.  I pretty much just want to improve myself in a ton of different ways.  I want to be good enough at bowling that Collin really as to fight to win that Golden Pin.  I want to be more of a go getter, more of a ladies man, more of an outgoing kind of guy.  I know, vague, right?  But I think that if I can improve my personality that way, I can find myself another girl, which is what I really want.  I'd like to believe that I'm not that desperate though.  Only time will tell.  I just want some physical intimancy with someone again.  You know how that can be.

Peace Out.

So yeah, today is my birthday.  I'm watching Memento right now and drinking Burnett's Watermeleon Vodka.  Not really a good combination when it comes to actually writing a blog here, but hell, I'm going to give it a shot.  Memento is a great movie by the way guys.  You should definitely go check it out sometime, probably when you are sober.  I think it helps.  I'm having a little bit of trouble following it right now.  It's rather silly.  Though I do like the fact that Trinity and Cipher are both in it.  I didn't realize that from the last time I watched the movie.  It's rather sweet.

Yeah, I'm not really sure why I'm even talking to you guys.  Maybe I'm lonely.  Maybe I just have nothing to do.  I think it's a combination of a whole bunch of things.  I think I need to grow some balls and just go find myself a girl of some sort.  Carlee was really getting on my case about being a pussy today about that topic.  I can't help it though, I mean, it's just who I am.  I have no confidence, never have, never will.  It's rather crazy.  Whatever though, I think I already knew that I was doomed to an existance of lonliness.  I mean, hell, someone's gotta be that way, right?

Anyways, movie is good and the alcohol is taking affect. 

Peace Out.

Another summer has come and gone and I wish I had done something extraordinary wih it, but in typical Jon fashion, I pretty much wasted it.  Yet at the same time I feel like I actually did something wth it too.  Nothing significanat mind you, just little things that almost add up to something meaningful.  But where to begin?  I know, lets just randomly jump into it and see what happens.

I managed to snag a job at the NMC Writing Center.  I'm stil not sure how the hell I pulled that one off.  You guys all read this thing.  You can tell that I'm terrible at anything that vaguely resembles the English language, yet here I am, more or less tutoring students about how to write papers better.  I would say this was probably my biggest accomplishment of the summer.  I think it might very well be a turning point in my own personal growth as a student.  I really have never been super involved in anything school related before, and now I am a rather important part of it.  I hope I don't mess up too badly though.  I'm afaid I'll be a failure of a Reader.  Only time will tell though.

Other than that, I've made some friends.  Or rather, I got in touch with some old friends/people that I've met before.  The biggest would be Carlee of course.  She's a pretty cool girl, and I have to admit, I rather like hanging out with her.  Now I'm sure her boyfriend doesn't always enjoy me hanging with her, but I will do it when I can.  She puts me at ease, which is something very few girls have been able to do.  The last one to be able to do was Amanda, who I've been able to patch some things up with over the summer as well.  Minor things really.  But I still really enjoyed playing Dungeons and Dragons with the girl.

Ah, it's getting all.... touchy feely!  Run away!

Peace Out.

So I've been thinking a lot lately.  I know, I know, that's a total shocker.  It's been all over the place too: girls, comics, Dungeons and Dragons, bowling, Amanda.  You know, most of the usual stuff.  It's all kind of crazy when you put it all together.  For instance, almost every single one of these is connected, and I think the easiest thing to connect them to would be Dungeons and Dragons surprisingly.  I won't tell you all about the details, mostly because they are lonely and depressing, but I wil randomly tell you about a couple of the above topics.

Lets start with some Dungeons and Dragons.  I finally broke down and bought the Player's Handbook 2.  It introduces five new races and I believe 8 new classes.  The new races are a mix of old favorites and new guys to keep everything fresh.  I think my favorite is the Goliath, which is pretty much a big ass race of humanoids that are physically strong and live amongst the rougher places of the world.  I haven't read all of the classes yet, but I rather like the Avenger.  It's more or less a holy rogue.  It's sweet.  They redid the Druid class as well, and I'm still out about that one.  It's kind of weird with it's wild shape.  it's hard to explain, but it just seems a little off for me.  Oh well, time will tell how it runs out.

The other thing I'll hit up today is bowling.  Again.  I got my ball as you all know and I really got a good work out of it today.  I'd post some pictures of it on here, but I don't have a working camera.  Yeah, it blows.  Anyways, back to the main topic here guys.  I kicked Collin's ass today.  Like, it wasn't even close.  Which was a relief, seeing as how it wasn't rolling too good for me on the day I got it.  But no, it turns out it's a great ball.  I managed to roll what I believe was a 138 today.  Yeah, it was pretty awesome.  Collin had no chance against me today.  But hey, those tides could easily turn.  We shall see.

Well, my pizza is almost done, so I'm going to get going now.

Peace Out.

Naw, today isn't the longest day ever.  I think the only reason that it seems that it is so long is because I have to go to work later.  Crazy.  Another 5:30 to 9:00 shift answering phones.  It's not a bad job, it's halfway decent to tell you the truth.  It's just that it's either really dul, or your balls to the wall busy.  And I'm not really sure why.  I hope it's not really busy again.  It's the weekend though, and I'm not sure how many people call into Best Buy on Saturdays.  Oh well though, no way to tell until it's all over, you know what I mean?

I'll be leaving tomorrow.  That's just awesome.  Well, arriving will be awesome.  I don't really expect the driving will be all that much fun.  Especially because we're now leaving aan hour later than I would rather like to leave.  I can't really blame Uncle Chris, seeing as how he doesn't get out of work until 11, but still, I like leaving as possible.  And for me, as early as possible is 5 in the morning, not 6.  I can get up at 6 on a normal day if I need to.  Getting up at 4 in the morning to leave at 5 is just my thing, you know? I just want to get there as soon as possible.

I LEAVE TOMORROW!!!!!

Peace Out.

Guys, today ended up being a fantastic day.  Like seriously, I don't know what happened, but Avandra was on my side today and was all "Jon, have some good in your day."  And I did.  Sorry if you all had a bad day.  It seems the majority of the people I talked to today weren't having the best day.  I'm thinking that means that I took all the wonderful days you guys were going to have, and channeled it into one beautiful, wonderful evening.  And that was on top of me working too.  Booya people, ini your face.  Also, I apologize for your lack of a great day.

I was on fire at work today.  Like seriously.  Fire was all over my hair, smoke pouring out of my ears, eyes full of rage, the whole deal.  It was like I was a fire elemental or something.  Only a bit cooler, because well, I was a Jon elemental, the most powerful of all elementals.  Sorry all your other elementals.  You're just not cut out for the raw awesomeness that is Jon.  But seriously, I was selling Geek Squad servies left and right.  I get them on 4 of the 7 laptops I sold.  That's just crazy.  It's been forever since I did that good.  Booya.

In other slightly funny news that is also slightly not funny, my friend Anna has mono.  That has got to suck rather hard.  Guess that means no more making out with her anymore.  Gosh.  You've got to be careful who you randomly make out with.  Yep, Anna, I'm cutting you off.

Also, brief shout out to Jen.  You made my day with that comment.  Damn right.  You topped my already awesome day!  I'll let you make your own title for that momentous feat.  Something like, Queen Jen, Bringer of Happiness and Good Times, or some equally grand and unnecessarily long title.

Also, Joel, you get a shout out just becauseI haven't mentioned you for a bi.  I totally got the time off to come down for the summer.  Sweet.

Enough ramblings damn it! Time to read the Bible!

Peace Out.

It was a wonderful day out today.  Like seriously, it was just about as perfect as possible.  It was something like 75 degrees out, sunny, and the wind was blowing at just the right speed to cool down everything when you're outside.  I even rode my bike today, though I've been trying to do that more lately.  You know, watching the weight and everything like that.

Speaking of riding my bike though, I took it up to the park that's nearby (I forget what it's called now) and rode it around some there.  The bike's tires are a little flat, but I deal with it.  I found this cool hiking trails back up in the woods there.  I think I'll have to figure out where they all end up something later this week.  I rode a couple of them, and wasn't lost.  Not yet.  Give me some time, I'll end up getting lost, being all, "WHERE THE HELL AM I?" and freaking out.  Then realize I just need to turn around to get back where I came from.  Some of the trails end up in people's backyards, so I need to figure out which ones are okay to take and which ones are.

The biggest thing I'm waiting for right now is the water to be warm enough to start swimming.  I'll be living on the lake this summer, so I mean, why the hell shouldn't I?  I suppose I could go swimming now, it just gets kind of cold at night, so I don't know what that does to the temperature of the water.  I should probably ask my mom about that.  My grandpa's answer was rather vague and not really on topic.  He's a silly one sometime.

Anyways, I'm hungry.  I'm going to go make some grilled cheese.  Catch you guys later.

Peace Out.
