Well, that was a bit a long and sort of redundant but there you go. A little more about me. The guy I got this from called it a survey, I guess it is but it is more of meme. You know, these things don't really do what they claim to do, bring out things about yourself so others(online and otherwise) know you better. For all anyone knows, this shit could be made up. But I assure you all that it is not. I don't lie, and some would say to a fault. Along those same lines, I heard from another of my friends concerning my dating problems. He said "I think the main thing I would say is being more confident in yourself and self worth. A and M stepped on your being repeatedly.
I am not sure about cw, but it seemed like you wanted her to be more closer but you did not push for it." He has a point and I agreed and added that I was the same with cw. They all cheated on me at one time or the other but cw was did it while we were talking marriage and her moving back in with me. A, well, we were seeing other people but seeing a lot of each other at the time. At the time I was very upset and she didn't help much by 1) still wanting to see me and 2) telling me all about the new guy. She ended up dating him, I'm sorry, fucking him for awhile. To be honest A and I dated 4 years too long. M, I have no idea how much she got around. I know of 2 possibly more only cause SHE told me after the fact and I was stupid enough to stick around. Bitch still owes me money. Not only that, but she has my Abbey Road cd, best Beatles album ever. I have learned cause when cw told me she was fucking a sailor, I ended it right there. Yes, we were having problems before but that is no excuse. (Harry: yes, well that excuse is fucking my wife. And now you're caught sing surry with the fringe on top in front of ira). To be honest, I thought I would get better answers from my friends about my dating mistakes. Maybe it shows just how much they were not paying attention. Or maybe I do the same things each time so even though I have seriously dated 3, I was really dating only one type of girl.

Listening to: Dashboard - Modest Mouse
Johnny Marr, everything he gets involved with is golden. the smiths, the the and now modest mouse. Which begs the question: Were the smiths emo before emo was called emo? And by the way, I hate the term emo.
Listening to: Track a Tiger live on daytrotter
Found by way of Popcandy, "this site posts exclusive in studio performances from indie bands."

And just read on popcandy, the Police may be reuniting for a tour this year. I am not holding my every breath I take but I was just thinking about how cool it would be this morning.

Two shows that will make you look forward to primetime TV again: "The Office" and "Heroes." Both are on NBC. Chad and I watch both religiously (including "Smallville.")"The Office" has got to be the craziest show since "Seinfeld" and "Heroes"-- well, there's nothing else like it on TV. Everything else stinks.

Jonathan said...

I do watch Heroes. I forgot about that one. The Office comes on Thursday night which is the night I work so I have not watched it. I did watch the entire BBC/Ricky Gervais version which is just great. Maybe I should pick up the dvds of The Office and catch up. Have you all been reading the graphic novels of Heroes that fills in gaps/expands the story? There are on the Heroes website.

Julie Brooks Barbour said...

We haven't read the graphic novels of Heroes-- we'll have to check that out. You should get the DVD's of the office, the second season especially-- I've heard the first season wasn't all that great, but as much as I love the show, I'd buy it anyway. I think you can watch full episodes on NBC the day after each new ep. airs. 30 Rock is also good-- one of my new favorites. Alec Baldwin in comedy with Tina Fey-- it is just too much.

I also tried to post a comment earlier about your photos on flickr-- they are absolutely amazing. Have you considered taking a photography class?

Jonathan said...

Thanks for the comments about my pictures. I will say what I tell others, it is the camera more than it is me and just plain luck. I am actually trying to decide between a photography class or a cooking class at the community college. Hmm, I could do both.

I tried to watch 30 Rock and couldn't make it through half the show. Didn't it get moved to Thursdays as well?

how rocking would it be if The Police reformed, i would so go to the gig.
