Ah Friday. And you know what? I'm tapped out on ideas. That's right. The grand Javann has tapped out. Sad it is. Very sad. So I figured I'd bring the personality tests back around. Why not, its been a while since a took one. And last time I was an eight.

And apparently I'm an eight again. So I've not changed. Yay. A natural born leader. Great. But on a plus note I'm pretty even across the board on all the types. Last time I had a high calmness and a high anxiety. Now I'm just aggressive. Anyway, that's that, so lets leave it at that.
Wow. My blogging update page took a small bit of forever in trying to load. Okay, so here's the deal. I don't have a lot of time. So the thoughts won't be deep, in fact they will be shallow, and the candies will be cheap, like that really nasty candy you get from the dollar store, well its not nasty, but its got this aftertaste that complete detracts from the overall quality and flavor of the candy. That's what we're talking about here. So my plan is to do something I've seen Jerm do over the years, and that's take something I've seen and then leave it for discussion. Of course, Jerm being the Disneyworld to my drug store, it works a lot better for him.

So here's the topic for discussion: The Nokia Medallion

I personally think that this is a good idea, and I would totally buy and rock one, but I'm sure there are more sensible people out there who would undoubtedly disagree with me and tell me they have a picture frame and a polaroid that would do the same thing, only cheaper. But this is like a locket, only its 300 bucks and I think, personally, that this is awesomeness in the tenth degree. The possibilities are uniquely endless (whoa I sound like Nokia) and I'd like to see more stuff like this, only in a more affordable price set and range. Anyway, spit intelligence.

I see you all empathize/because anything less would be uncivilized

So I've noticed that everyone else's blog has coolness and yet, for some unknown reason, mine is still lacking. It can't possibly be the color scheme, or the content, so I've decided its got to be the title. I mean, what's cool about candy? Other than being a confectionary, candy is not cool. And deep thoughts? That is so John Handy of the 80's and early 90's. I need something cool around here, and definitely am going to have to change the color of the blog. And maybe some pictures. . .well maybe the picture thing is going a bit too far. I think having a few hulk pictures here and there adds a certain je nois crouix to my blog (I've no idea what that means by the way) but I kind of like the "starter-I-don't-know-any-html-or-java-or-cscript-or-anything-cool-for-my-blog-look", which is ironically laughable because I am invincible in my knowledge of those things I just mentioned. Invincible. Really. I don't know, I think I like the "I'm-all-about-the-words-here-and-not-the-looks" thing I've got going a the moment, and besides, we all like split pea soup right? And what's better to remind us than our online collection of thoughts.

If you've not noticed, I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, and it's been on varied subjects. I'm not sure what's spurred on this sudden conquest of thought, actually yes I am sure, its the lack of jobs and the abundance of sleep. I've come to the conclusion that I am nothing short of genius. That's right, I said it, I'm a genius. Not just any run of the mill genius, but a conceited one as well. I mean if you were me, you'd be conceited too. I. . . am spelling conceited correctly. . .oh good good. As I was saying, the only reason that my genius doesn't shine through is because I work and I miss sleeping. That's right, I operate at 50% brain power on a regular basis. Why, I could have pondered the solutions to world hunger, disease, and bad hair days in half the time it takes the rest of the so called "intellects" to put their shoes on in the morning. And I'd still have time for tea and crumpets. But seriously, I have noticed that my sleep and work does kill my generally overactive mind. Sure I think of weird and absurd things, but in the long run. . .uh. . .wait a minute, I forgot my thought. Its already happening. Quickly, run, run and tell the. . .you know what, I've got to get some sleep. . .getting drowsy. . .what time is it again?

My mood?

Just as I was correcting Bernoulli's equation, the tiredness took over. . .
Then re-arrange and change things that's on your mind/Would you swallow like fine wine or peanut butter?/Would you holler that I'm live and ask another?/Or take no heat and run for cover

I have a theory. Well lets call it an hypothesis. My hypothesis is that no one calls attractive people stupid. Sure it sounds harsha and for some people it even sounds like its not even true, but in all actuallity, it is. As I illustrated to my mother, if you see an attractive person slamming his/her arm in the door, over and over again, you'd go over and help said person, making sure he/she understood why. If said person was ugly, you'd just point, laugh, and say "STUPID!" Its true. I know its true because I'm willing to admit that I'd do it. And I'm not that bad of a person. Attractive people get exceptions, its the rule. If you are a beautiful, or simply just an attractive, female, you will never get a speeding ticket because the cops are all males. They don't want to give some attractive young woman a ticket, because they're attractive. If you're a male or ugly, you've got tickets. Don't get me wrong, if you're a lady and you have a ticket, I'm not saying you're ugly. It may simply be that you didn't realize you had that type of power, or maybe you didn't want to use it, but to avoid the ticket, all you had to do was flirt and say you'd never do it again. Boom, no ticket. Doesn't work that way for guys, trust me. But attractive guys get extras when they go through lines for food or from waitresses or saleswomen. If you are attractive, you will get exceptions. Is it fair? No. But its the reason so many people are going under the knife to improve their looks. Because they want exceptions. They want to join the beautiful people in walking past ugly people and yelling stupid. That's the only explanation there can be.

Its another day, another day, another day of suprises/and every day, every day, every day another sun arises

So its another year. Well zippity doo da. Forgive me for not being terribly happy, but this last year, this 2004 really didn't exactly measure up. This last year was all kinds of terrible, and you know what makes it worse? My sitting here whining about it. So I'll leave that to the whiners and complainers, and proceed with my second annual, YEAR IN REVIEW!!

Javann's Completely Awesome Year (Not Quite Completely Awesome, But okay)

1. What did you do in 2004 that you'd never done before?
Uh. . .saw Muse. Man that was pretty awesome. If you get the chance, you grab that chance and run with it

I have no resolve, much less during new years to do anything

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?

5. What countries did you visit?
I visited!. . .uh. . .none

Heh heh heh, take your pick

a touch of sinus infection, and a few cuts and bruises

11. What were the best things you bought?
A radiator for my car, and some Camoflauge Chuck Taylors. . .man I like those shoes

12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Hmmm. . .Skyler was extremely cool this year, as was Reggie. ReG was really cool this year, going with me a lot of places and putting up with a lot of things that I wouldn't even take from myself

13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
No one appalled or depressed me. . .except for myself of course. Yay.

14. Where did most of your money go?
Car repair, Petrol, loan repayment

Being in the drama, and the Muse concert. Other than that. . .

16. What song will always remind you of 2004?
Loser - Beck

17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
(a) happier or sadder? Weird, I'm not really either, I'm kinda numb.
(b) thinner or fatter? definitely fatter
(c) richer or poorer? In theory richer, but in practice still broke

18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Traveling and cool stuff. More cool stuff should've been done

19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Working. I really wish I'd not worked as much. Then maybe I could've done more cool stuff

20. How will you be spending Christmas?
Somewhere dark quiet, and thankfully non-festive

22. Did you fall in love in 2004?
Hah! Thank God no!

23. How many one-night stands?
I've got this nice plastic rubber maid storage drawer set that I keep next to my bed, had a five inch television on it, so I guess you can call it a night stand. And it is a singular.

24. What was your favorite TV program?
This year it was all about Adult Swim. The Venture Bros. and Aquateen HungerForce
"And that's where babies come from."

25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
My list of abhorrance is only comparable to my list of mistakes

26. What was the best book you read?
The best book I got my hands on this year was definitely Native Son. I've read it once, but reading it again was quite good

27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
This year? Loveage, Cap'n Jazz, Cooper Temple Clause, McLusky, Detachment Kit, Franz Ferdinand, and maybe D.A. That's right. D.A. That man is a musical genius.

Friends, car parts

29. What did you want and not get?
I'm sticking with last years answer:
Completion

30. What was your favorite film of this year?
Its a tie between I, Robot, and the Incredibles. Both good movies for different reasons.

31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I uh, did nothing. Yeah, that's about right.

32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Learning more. About anything.

33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2004?
Man, I got really preppy this year. Button down shirts, jeans and stylish boots. Quite outside my norm, I assure you.

34. What kept you sane?
Who said I was sane?

35. Which celebrity figure did you fancy the most?
None really. Quite a few non-celebrity figures fancied.

36. What political issue stirred you the most?
Spiritual blindness not being an issue.

37. Who did you miss?
I honestly can say, I miss the old Javann. The old Javann was hardcore. He was tough, and he didn't take anything from anybody. He did whatever was necessary to handle business, and personal hygiene was done when necessary. This new Javann, who uses body wash and Axe, who cleans and organizes, and feels bad when he doesn't, I don't like him. The old Javann didn't care about your feelings, but this new Javann, well he does for some reason. He knows he used to not care, but now he's too busy caring to not care. I guess that's a good thing, but the old Javann was a lot easier to be.

38. Who was the best new person you met?
I guess this goes to a tie to the Knoxville/Nashville family and hmm. . .can't remember anyone else. . .(heh heh heh)

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2003?
The only thing more humiliating than defeat is accepting it as your fate.

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
You're a head case with a smile
Can't stop to make up your mind
Education is so lame (so lame)
When you whine and you moan
You're a good girl, I'm a guy (hey)
You're a truth freak with a lie
The situation is so strange
It's a tv show

In a hotel on the phone
You're gonna leave me, I should've known (should've known)
And I was thinkin, it's so sad
I didn't want you to go
You wanna follow the laws of man (yes, sir)
Bloody apron, leg of lamb
It's so hard to win
When there's so much to lose

Infiltrate the walls that are caving in
It ain't a bad thing
This ain't reality
Infiltrate the walls that are caving in
It ain't a bad thing
Because it is natural

Second Avenue, raising Cain
I'm a sinner, ring my bell (hey)
I'll tell you what, I'd get up
If I knew I fell

Don't ask for explanation. Well you can ask, I won't guarantee the answers. Anyway, thanks for the time, and spit the intelligence at me.
