My Adventures With Neighborhood Garbage Rummaging

It's been a while since I've posted an adventure on here. I think it's safe to say that's because of my lack of adventuring. But this story is a good one. So Read it!
It's the day before Halloween and I just got off a 14 hour day at work. I was kind of having a shitty day really and all I wanted to do was just relax and maybe take a drive to unwind. After I showered, I got ready to just drive. Before I headed out the door my friend Melissa calls me and says, "We are picking you up, we're in the neighborhood." I was like uh ok. Random. Sure enough they are at my door in less than a minute. When I get into the car I find out that Brennon, Melissa, Matt, Brennon's cousin, and Brennon's sister Brie have been out lighting coffee creamer. I was excited. I hadn't blown shit up in a long time. I was long past due to be destructive. We drove around looking for a good place stopping at a few other places then deciding it was too risky. Melissa and Brennon's sister decide they need to leave because they have school in the morning (pitiful non-graduates). That just left me, Matt, Brennon and Brennon's cousin (I forgot his name). It happened to be clean out week for Brennons neighborhood. This basically meant that there was a bunch of shit on the sidewalks for the garbage people to pick up. Surprisingly enough, there was actually cool stuff to take. I took a tv, Brennon's cousin took a bunch of plastic chairs, and there was an assortment of couches we planned on taking. We also took a toilet. We had plans of dragging it on the road or shooting it out on the desert. Maybe even setting it up in random public places and shitting in it casually and leaving it there. During all this Me and Brennon called Jeff and mocked him for not being here with us to enjoy such a momentus occasion. He seemed to get somewhat annoyed and possibly jealous and let us go.  We were going to pick up 2 other toilets when Matt came across a computer on the sidewalk. Without hesitating he took it. We drove to a nearby park parking lot and tied the power cord to the hitch on his truck and drug it around. Me and Brennon were laughing so hard we couldn't stop crying and couldn't catch our breath. Just the sight of a computer being drug around was just so cheaply amusing. We couldn't help it. After it shattered and broke away from the truck, they drove off. Me and Brennon caught our breath and picked up the major pieces that were left over. Minutes later we get a call from Matt saying he is being followed by some guy in a piece of shit car. Brennon and I drive by and there was the guy. Just sittin in his car on his phone. We called Matt back and told him to get the hell out of the neighborhood because he was most likely on the phone with the cops. So Matt and Brennon's cousin drive out of there and the guy follows them. Matt is on the phone telling us where they are going and if the guy is still following them. He pulls into a gas station and the guy follows him there and Matt gets off the phone after that. Brennon and I went the opposite direction of them and we didn't hear from them for a long time. So we drove by the gas station where they were supposed to be at and wouldn't you know it? Four cars of Sandy city's finest underpaid cops are at the scene with the lights flashing., Me and Brennon cracked up as we saw Matt and Brennon's cousin stand outside talking to the cops. We couldn't help. In fear of getting pulled over ourselves for reasons we don't know we parked in a nearby parking lot hoping Matt was ok and wasn't getting a hideous ticket, or worse going to jail. We wondered why would a cop give a shit? I'm sure it's not a horrible crime for stealing trash on the sidewalk. And why the fuck did that guy following them care? We waited anxiously for them to call. After about 20 minutes, Matt calls us. Apparently the cops pulled them over because the guy following them called the cops on them for dragging the computer in the parking lot. That was it. The cops joked around with them and gave him a ticket with a price unknown for careless driving. We got let off easy. But really, was it necessary for 4 cops to respond? That just shows how little cops have to do on a Sunday night in Utah. We met up in a parking lot and talked briefly. While we were talking a cop drove by and Brennon's cousin waved at him in a dumbass fashion. The cop pulls into the parking lot. For some reason we all jumped in our vehicles like immigrants avoiding the FBI and were gone in less than 10 seconds in opposite directions. Turned out nothing happened. The cop didn't pursue us. But that was it.
I needed a night like tonight when it comes down to it. This is the part of my life I miss the most. My friends. My adventures. My fun. Much of that has been gone because of the responsibility I have taken now. I needed tonight. I really did. Definitely a night to remember. Anyway. Thanks for reading!

It's been a while I guess

Hello there. It's October now and for some reason I really like the month of October. Halloween is all well and good, but I think it has to do with all the good memories I have had associated with this month. I think it's a very beautiful month. The colors change, its not quite freezing cold, but not really hot either. The past month has been pretty good. I made it through the first half of my ekg class and applie for an ekg tech position. I hope I at least get an interview. I have reached the point where I hate my job with an incredibly deep passion. It puts me in such a bad mood to be there. I really need to get out of there and start doing more meaningful work. I just have to be patient I guess. I have at least another 3 weeks of my ekg class before I'm officially certified. I just need to hang in there. Recently, I've been volunteering at Local a lot in the South Town Mall. In fact, as I write this, I'm there right now. I like to help out. It's fun. I meet bands and help set up the shows, I have met a lot of cool people. I can't complain. I like being here. I think a lot of it is that it's my way of staying connected with music since I'm not in a band anymore. It's just my way of staying part of what I love. I hope to start a new band soon. I have some willing people, its just a matter of making it come together. I miss playing music. Those were the days where I seemed to really feel alive despite the troubles I had back then. I love music and have lived for it since I got into it. But as more responsibility piles on top of me, the more it seems to fade. Which is kind of sad. Of course I still play my drums, at least once a day, but still. For the most part overall, my life has been going pretty good. I really want to move out though. It's hard to get people to go in on it and even harder to find a reasonable place. A house preferably. I still don't want to go to Boise. So I'm still trying to get out. I have a lot of freedom at home, but when I get chewed out about not cleaning my bathroom, that makes me feel further away from being independent than I ever thought. I have longed to move out for a long long long time. I hate the feeling of being under someones control. I hate the idea that someone can control what I do. In a weird way, I think thats why I'm not looking for a relationship. I see a lot of people I know in relationships and they are under their control completely. They tend to change a lot because they were told or hinted to. I think that's so lame. I'm way too independent to blow off friends constantly and change the way I dress and act for someone. I don't know if that's a problem or a positive, but meh. Recently, a friend of mine had someone close to her family died. She told me a lot about how everyone at school the next day acted like they knew him when they really didn't. I see it all the time when someone dies and I think its selfish to try to take advantage of someones death to gain attention for yourself. When someone young dies, suddenly everyone becomes "very close" to them and is incidentally their "best friend." I think its very disrespectful and selfish. I hope people like that get what's coming to them. Yes, it is sad that someone has passed on, but I think those kinds of people deserve to be punished for taking advantage of family and friend's loss to gain an amount of attention or to not feel out of place.
Anyway, I'm really rambling on and this probably goes down as possibly the most boring blog I have ever written. If you have made it this far, you should go to Local and visit me when I'm there and buy stuff because this store needs your help and support! And if you have made it to this point, you should subscribe to my blogs and comment them. I will love you. I like feedback. Peace out yo!

My Rant on Dumbass Bulletins

I originally posted this as a bulletin multiple times on August 1st. Many have wondered if I had kept this archived somewhere and the answer is yes, yes I have. Due to more dumbass bulletins popping up daily I would like to bring it back, only in blog form so it can be read whenever. Here it is, in it's entirety my bulletin about dumbass bulletins. Enjoy!
So obviously now you've gotten this far, so now that you're here, I'd like to address dumbass bulletins once again but in more detail rather than my previous condensed points. Please read all the way through.

1. What is with these dumbass bulletins going around about a ghost boy or girl saying they are going to kill you if you don't repost the bulletin? Honestly, people, if there really are ghosts, I'm pretty sure they have better things to do then log on to myspace and harass people by threatening to murder them in their sleep. And I'm for damn sure that a dead person would not describe themselves with "scary eyes."

2. I absolutely hate the bulletins that are petitions testifying you believe in God and not posting the bulletin would otherwise insult the faith you practice and ultimately sending you to the pits of Hell. This seems like a very low way of trying to sort out atheists and pagans from people who practice popular religous factions. Now, I am not atheist, but I do not need a bulletin telling me that I do not believe in God if I do not repost a stupid bulletin. In no way, shape, or from should there be bulletins made to even attempt to reflect someone's personal beliefs. To me it seems more blasphemous than righteous to speak for God Himself by hinting that by not posting a bulletin, you do not believe the faith you practice. So in short, Grow up you dipshits.

3. Why are there so many cheesy ass bulletins with some really lame, poorly written story attached about a boy and girl that are so in love that they fail to tell each other but one of them HAS to die in order for them to see it. And of course there is always some sort of secret note hidden that one of the widowed teenage persons finds close by the dead body of their "loved one." Then of course if you don't repost that bulletin you are doomed to bad love forever or 10 years or some random number. BUT if you do repost it, you will be loved in ten minutes, no joke. Who ever makes these dumb bulletins should be thrown off a bridge into icy water followed by target practice with bricks from the people above. Seriously, stop posting these! They are all the same! Really. I can guarantee that whether or not you post that will have no effect on your love life in the coming years. And the worst part is, that these bulletins or chains don't even have a novelty factor. It's not one of those "this is so cute," or "this is worth your time reading," or even "this is so dumb it's funny" sort of deals. It's just dumb and a waste of my time and many other people's time.

4. Ok, how many times does Tom or anyone with half a brain have to explain this? At least once a week I see a bulletin that says myspace will be cancelled, or you will be charged or some stupid shit like that. Just realize that if you believed all this from some random person, then logically if you lived in any other country than America, you probably would have been killed years ago because you're so gullible. These are the same people who enjoy jigsaw puzzles thoroughly with an IQ of 70 and people who get inspired by motivational posters. Chances are if all it takes to inspire you is a cheap saying and a pretty picture, than that probably means you have a job so easy that robots will be doing it soon. None of those rumors are true, and nor will they be true

Ok, so maybe I've ranted enough now. But seriously, stop posting stupid chain bulletins that waste my time and other's time. That way maybe I can actually read the bulletins I would actually care to read and I'm sure others feel the same. If you have any comments I would surely like to hear about them. Message me or something.

Sincerely,
Johnny W.
