Farewell Xanga

Weekend Update with John King

Hey Kids, thought i'd just give everyone an update.  In chronological order:

1.  My esteemed buddy Eugene is gonna be living in my building.  That kicks ass.  We will throw raging parties in our studios.  You're all invited. 

2.  Vacation in St Thomas for a week, which was awesome.  Sad to be back. 

3.  I saw a man at the gym on saturday in the locker room blow drying his chest hair.  That was a first.

4.  I'm gonna go camping in 2 weeks.  Never really been camping before.  My biggest fear......pooping in the woods.  In my head, it just seems like it would be messy.

5.  All the money i won previously from betting on UFC, i lost betting on IFL and Bodogfights.  Moral of the story:  Don't bet on fights when u don't know anything about the fighters.  Back to only UFC fights.

iConcertCal

Anyone who gets my spam emails about concerts, knows that i'm a big fan of live music.  This handy tool has been very helpful in keeping me informed as to who's coming to town.  Credit to dwillens for showing it to me.

Do you use iTunes?
Do you like to goto concerts?
If so, you must download this iTunes Plugin.  Here's the developer's description.

iConcertCal is a free iTunes plug-in that monitors your music library and generates a personalized calendar of upcoming concerts in your city. It is available for both Windows and Mac OS X and supports worldwide searches.

You will love it. Your wallet won't.

Trip to London

Google is not without a sense of humor.

Random Thoughts

I've been so busy with work lately, that i haven't had time to find amusing material for xanga.  Sorry folks.  But here's some of the things that have been on my mind lately.

1.  If Don Imus had said 'slanty-eyed chinks' instead of 'nappy headed hos' he'd probably still have his job.  What do you think?  I personally do not think he should have been fired.  I think what he said was stupid, but what happened to the whole free speech thing that supposedly makes our country so great?  If you don't like what he as to say, don't listen to his show.  I refuse to believe that Howard Stern didn't say worse things on the public airwaves prior to his move to satellite radio. 

2.  Why is getting a gun license in boston so damn hard.  Now i'm going to be delayed for another two months.

3.  Vacation in 1 week.  w00t.

4.  I'm currently in week 1 of a 16 week training program to run a half marathon.  Running blows.  The race that i'm running in august is actually only 9 miles.  But i figure i better train to run more than 9 to ensure that i can finish

5.  New hobby other than hunting/sport shooting = sports betting.  I've bet on the last 2 UFC championships and i'm currently up about 140 bucks.  If anyone else out there bets on MMA, let me know.  I'd like to talk strategy with you.

6.  It sleeted today.  It's Mid-April.  This is retarded.  Is 'sleeted' a real word?

7.  How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Cheers,

J
