Good Ol' Time Share Companies

I got a phone call the other day from Jeff. "Hey I just won a trip for 2 to Las Vegas! you need to claim it because I have to be 25yrs or older."
"Ok!?, but how did you pull this off?"
"We have to go to a presentation for 90 minutes so call this number and set a date to go"
"Jeff, we were making fun of the guy trying to sell us timeshares in the mall yesterday why are we going right now?"
"We got a vacation from it not some stupid gift card this will be fine we just won't buy anything."
Here's the story.
I call the lady that called Jeff. She asked me if I was over 25 I said yes. Then she asked am I a Home Owner? NO! do I make over $50,000 a year? I said yes she said do you have a major credit card? Yes! So I get approved to claim this prize and I have to go to the presentation. I set the appointment for thursday night and Jeff and I get ready to go. I collected all the appropriate "Documents" and head out to the appointment. Dustin our friend came with us to help us not get suckered in as he did 2 years ago and we were ready to claim out "No Obligation! Prize" and leave. We arrive at the Wyndham Worldmark building and sign in. I fill out this stupid paper that asks my name, address, phone number, do I own or rent a house, check a box for my annual income, and age. After filling out the form we sat down and the lady left she asked me Why I don't own or rent my home I told her I lived in a cardboard box. She was very concerned and inquired what I did about my living conditions, I told her that I lived with my parents but I could put down that I rent from them. She left us at the front desk and came back telling me that I didn't qualify for the prize or the oportunity to see the "Presentation" I asked why and she told me I didn't earn enough annually and wasn't a home owner. I told her why I even came and that I qualified with the girl from Utah and she made us leave. We got up and left then I called the chick in Utah and she assured me I qualified for the Prize. I am now getting a free gift from the corporate office for being rejected at the door and not being allowed to see the all mighty Presentation. I told them that I was going to buy into the company but now I think i'm going with Timeshares only that advertises on TV so they lost out!! Poor Bastards!

"What the crap are the Freaking Rules!!!???"

How many people hate the dating game? I do!!!! I have noticed that dating is something that doesn't come very easy to me or most of my Friends. This week I had one set of friends break up and another finally get a girl to go on a date with him. The sad thing is that the break up couple broke up due to lack of commitment on part of the girl and I saw it coming not to mention her friend started dating her Ex 2 days after they broke up. (Lots of Drama) My friend met this attractive girl the other day they hit it off and then made a date for tonight. she canceled! "something came up". I've noticed as I have conversed with various people both males and females and they all have the same complaints like:
There is no Commitment on their part!
"Constant excuses to get out of a first date: i.e. I have a family thing, i have class, it's my nephews birthday, have to go pick a family member up in another city. (just a few)
"there are no Descent- Guys asking me on dates!" (I clarify it as no descent guys I'm interested in....)
Anyways you get my drift.
I want to make this an analogy of a few games that most people play and are familiar with. one is Uno and the other is Monopoly. Both games when played in any situation have the same goal and that is win.. (obviously) Recently Milton Bradley? (i'm not sure who owns the rights to Uno) came out with a "house Rules" set of Uno cards stating that no matter how its played you the consumer make the rules. So when one individual plays the game with one group of people they learn the "rules" quickly or else they lose. well the same goes with Dating. The goal is to get the relationship but the rules are totally different. Do you stack the draw 2 cards or do you take the penalty? with Monopoly do you pay taxes to the middle and collect on free parking or do you just get a free pass on free parking? Unless the rules are announced when the game begins or are made clear when the event happens you are left in the dark. I have noticed that most of my friends and I have a hard time clarifying the Rules to dating and hence we are currently LOSERS at the game.
I am trying to figure out the rules and hopefully use them to my advantage but its a pain. Every person plays the games differently so what works on one Female/Male won't work on the next on. How do you figure this mystery out??? I have no freaking Clue! any advice or insight would be helpful thanks

I'm Kind of Disgusted with Our country

I'm a little concerned for the well being of our nation. I don't consider myself a Political guy however, Since Obama was elected president I have received some pretty Racist text Messages and just read an article on Yahoo about an increase of threats to the new President-Elect Barak Obama. I wasn't too pleased with either candidate that was running for president and I have my reasons. (which I'm not going to get into here) I still want to emphasize that Obama is a Human Being and deserves more respect than what people are giving him. Race should not be a problem and we have Supposedly left segragation in the past but these stupid threats from Ignorant people saddens me. I think that if Obama has enough Charisma and passion to influence so many non-voters to vote then maybe he has enough influence to create a good change in our nation. I know that I might get some political lashings from some people for this post but I will not argue with you I don't want to.
I am only stating that for the fact that he is a Human being we should give him some respect and stop the stupid racist jokes and threats to the man. I hoped the American People were smarter than that but I am seriously disappointed in our country.

"Don't delete me from Facebook!"

Wow! Today I just got an email from a Girl I stopped talking to about 5 months ago. We were Friends but I got to involved emotionally with her and after she told me there was no way we would date I continued on with my life and took her out of mine. I get this text message from her asking me Why I deleted her from Facebook, she was appalled. I asked her why it was a problem now since she never took the time to communicate with me these last 5 months why is it a big deal? She called me Immature and jealous and I don't freaking care. I always Joked that Relationships never meant anything until it was on facebook and when you became friends on Facebook it was "Official!" Well apparently that is true in this case I kicked her off my facebook page and so now she is mad at me! oh well she'll get over it.

Hey Jon, There's plenty of food left!

I am a BIG Guy, I am 6' 3" tall weighing in at 312lbs. I have been big my entire life and have noticed a strange Phenomenon. At the beginning of this year, I was making a joke with Jeff stating that every time I go somewhere to eat like a church, school or family function people always let me know that there is plenty of food left over! I was always polite to refuse the food or sometimes I would concede to the pleading and go get more to eat. I noticed this and told Jeff that the next time someone tells me that there is "plenty of food" I was going to make a big deal about it. I kid you not but 2 minutes later a guy walked up to me and said, "Hey Jon, there is plenty of food over there go get some more." I flipped out I said "what?! because I'm fat you think I need to eat more food? If anything I need to not eat anymore" he was so embarrassed and immediately started to tell everyone else in the room that there was leftover food still that needed to be eaten. Since that day Jeff thinks that it is funny to say to me "Jon, there is still plenty of food over there!" in which I jokingly respond "What!? Why don't you ask others because I'm fat WTH?"
This last Sunday I was at a Church Fireside and they had Pie as a desert. I was involved in a polite conversation with some lovely ladies when they both asked politely if I wouldn't mind having another piece of Pie. I ate 3 total pieces and was not going to eat any more when some random girl that I met a few weeks ago offered me another piece of Pie. I politely refused and she replied. "You are starving you need another piece!" I laughed heartily and responded, "You just said the wrong words to the wrong person." "I have at least 200lbs of weight on you if anything, you need to eat that pie you look like you are starving, and so is she and her as well as her, heck everyone here looks like they are starving." Why is it that I get the "eat more food plea?" Do people assume that because a person is overweight that they can eat a lot? I have friends that are skinny little punks. They can out eat me every time. I had a 5' 8" 110lb girlfriend she would out eat me at any all you can eat buffet any day. So to help those who don't understand Don't assume that a "Fat" person wants to be a garbage disposal for all your leftovers. Most people are overweight because of a slow metabolism giving them more food will only add to their obesity issue so please feed the HUNGRY not the OVERWEIGHT! that's right watch out skinny people.

My Seat is getting HOT! Is Yours?!

I love to mess with people especially people who are clueless. I drive an Audi A6 Quattro. I love this car it is soooo freaking nice. Hasn't bagged me a babe yet but soon it will I can feel it. In my Audi I have heated leather seats, they are the best thing to have in the winter and since Idaho gets real cold its a perfect feature to have. Last monday I took a group of friends to go to a straw maze, yeah someone thought it would be fun to build a maze out of 1 ton bales of straw and charge people to get lost in it. (great story maybe my next post). On the Drive up I decided to turn the seat warmer on in the back seat where one kid was sitting. After about 15 mins of driving he says my "back is getting really warm! could you turn up the AC?" I asked "What do you mean the seat is getting warm?! is anyone else's seat getting warm?" they all replied "NO?" I told him that I had no Idea what was happening. Twenty-Five minutes into the drive he says, "It's the seat that is hot! if I lean forward its not that bad but man, your seat is on Fire!!" Being alarmed I acted as if I was going to pull the car over and see why the seat was so hot. We continued onto our destination and I told him that maybe the heat sheild under the car between the exhaust and his seat must have fallen off and caused the increase in heat. When we came home I made my friend Jeff trade him seats to keep him from kicking my seat as well as poke me from the back seat. (He is 19 but was pestering my like a 4yr old) I once again turned the seat warmer up in the passenger seat and as we started to drive home same thing. "My seat is getting HOT! is YOurs?" Jeff and the others started to laugh because they were in on it I asked jeff if his seat was hot he replied "NO!" then we told this kid that he had lower back nerve damage and needed to get it checked out! He denied it and swore that wasn't it after a while he asked if I had seat warmers to which I replied, "A car this nice would never have seat warmers I think you're taking some weird drugs." to which he responded. "I don't understand, my back just want's to be hot today that is wierd". We all Laughed Heartily

Tormenting the Blind!!!

My dear friends, this is a Blog about a dear friend of mine who happens to be Legally Blind. This is a man that I have the utmost respect for and an admiration for his abilities and his great attitude.
My Buddy Jeff and I spend quite a bit of time with this man so we know him rather well. Every time we see him we always make some comment about his blindness or BLIND JOKE.
One day we were at an activity and I was talking with one of my lady friends and this guy walks into the room. As he enters the doorway, Jeff runs over and starts to shake the cane that he carries rather violently. When I start to Laugh this poor girl looks at me and says "what is he doing to that poor blind man?!" in amazement. I respond to her, "That is what we do in our spare time is Harass the Blind!" she gives me a look of disbelief after which I told her he was a friend of ours. The Funny thing that I have noticed is that people have a hard time responding to disabled people. I have worked with handicapped people and have a few family members with disabilities. I love and admire each and every one of them but its fun to see people's reactions as we openly joke with them about their disability.
One time we went to eat at this restaurant called Big Judds. It's a restaurant where you can order a one or two pound hamburger. Our Blind friend came with us and in our group of eight we ordered 4- 1lb. hamburgers to share. After dividing the burgers into 1/4 pieces we began to eat we asked our friend if he was ready for his 2nd 1/4 and he had thought that he already at 1/2 we told him "no" and as the waitress walked in to check on us we told her that he wanted the BIGGEST scoops of Ice cream he could eat as well as a few other blind comments and as she looked at us then looke at our friend then walked away she turned and said "I don't think he thought that was very funny!" then scurried away. We laughed because I don't think she understood what kind of a friendship we have with him and she didn't know wether to laugh at our jokes or be embarrassed. Its just funny to see people's reactions. I admire people with disabilities I have seen many of them accomplish great things in their lives. I am not making fun in any way of these people but I want people to know that they are humans too and are great fun to be around and we are blessed to have them in our lives.

Xbox Live Morons!!!

I have the most random Crap happen to me on a regular basis but it's always usually pretty funny. So for those of you who play XBox 360 or are online in any game system you can probably relate. But here is how it plays out....

I was playing online Call of Duty 4 a killer game i might add, but I am not very good but I just play for entertainment and not for glory like most Xboxers.

The match started and every time I would get to a good place to kill the opposing team, one of my teammates would kill me. This happened 9 times in the first 4 minutes of the match. As frustrating as this is I continued to play and by accident I shot one of my teammates as he ran by a window I was sniping from. This guy got pissed!!!!

SO here goes the Dialog.

DB- "You Mother F-er BigbadJaybyrd!"
me- "sorry dude it was an accident" next thing I know he kills me
me- "Dude WTF it was an accident thanks for the Kill"
DB- "Yeah go F*** yourself!"
me- "I got killed 9 times from our teammates relax it happens!"
DB- "Well that's not my F-ing problem."
me- "Ok so were cool then."
DB- Kills my character again! then laughs!
me- "Wow dude.. .what are you? 12?!..."
DB- "NO, Im 32 what's it too ya!?"
me- "Nothing, just that I would expect a 12 yr old to have such a big "Manjina" that's all!"
DB- "Oh yeah, I'll Kick your A$$ you better not sleep tonight or you're dead!"
Me- "Ok I'll lock my doors to make it hard for you to get in my house."
DB- "Oh I'll kill you man that is a fact!!!"
The Round ends I laugh 3 days later, I'm still alive but the funny thing was he was so mad as if I had ruined his day. Whatever happened to just playing to enjoy the game? Not it the life of Xbox Lovers. South Park said it best, "How do you kill that which has no life?!" (make love not Warcraft episode).

How Did I Become Handsome?!

Funny story, A few Years ago my Older Brother told me that the little Japanese lady that he lives with said "Out of all your brothers, I think that Jon Is the Most Handsome." I having heard this decided to call myself "El Guapo" meaning Handsome in Spanish. When I started to text people a lot I put it in as my signature and later converted it to Handsome Jon! After a few weeks of Self Proclaimed Handsomeness, I noticed that a few of my Associates started to call me Handsome Jon. The Funny part of this story is one day a girl asked me to send her a text message so she could get something from Handsome Jon so when I sent the Text she laughed hartily. When I questioned why she laughed she said "If I put Beautiful Britany as my signature people would think I was conceited." I told her I did it because its funny to be a self-proclaimed anything and since people don't disagree i keep it so hence the blog name "Memoirs of a Handsome Man" By Handsome Jon. :)

DISC JOCKEY

I am the owner of my own Mobile Disc Jockey service known as "In the Mix Productions" I started this company about 2 years ago with my best friend Mike. We have our own light show, and Karaoke systems along with 60,000+ song titles. I have been in the DJ business for about 6 years when I was in High School I started helping a guy in my neighborhood who owned a DJ Business, He has been Djayin for almost 20 yrs now and has given me great advice and knowledge on how the business works. His Company is known as AudioStar enterprises and is probably one of the best DJ's in the Snake River Valley. I currently work for both companies and am hoping to someday be able to Aquire the majority share of DJ business in Idaho. There are lots of mobile DJ's in this area but most of them from what I have seen are not real Professional Disc Jockeys. Things that make in my opionion a professional DJ is first Equipment. Do they have speakers that are sufficient to do a Dance? meaning, are their speakers from their parents home entertainment center or are they actual professional speakers. (you can tell) also is their music selection sufficient to please most crowds? is their music knowledge sufficient to incorporate the proper music to the right crowd? not hip hop for 90yr olds etc. With the world of Music going Digital these days the professional sound companies that make Disc Jockey equipment are incorporating new computer softwares and attatchments so the modern DJ can use his laptop as a mixer for his songs carrying an external harddrive with his music instead of a cart load of CD jewel cases. I use the PCDJ/FX VRM program on my Laptop with the PCDJ KJ attatchment for my Karaoke carrying all of my music files on a 500GB hard drive. This limits the amount of space needed to set up as well as cuts down on loading time. I do have a 240 cd case that is my own personal selection of music that I listen to on my own time but I always have enough music with me on CD to play as a back up in case my computer or harddrive has a mental Beakdown during a Dance. This is a great way to save your butt from getting fired or losing face in front of Clients for faulty equipment. Check out my website at www.Inthemixproductions.net for more information

12 Week Hard Body Plan

Well this is my first blog ever! I've read about them and never written one until now. Well this Blog is Titled 12 week hard Body Plan, in fact its the "Mens Health" 12 week plan. I bought this muscle building book about 3 years ago hoping to become a strong man and make some changes in my life. I have always been a BIG kid growing up and have been extremely overweight since. This summer as I was Living in Cincinnati OH, I paid about $1200 for a personal trainer whom which I trained with 3 days a week. I started in July and lost about about 35lbs from July until Sept 6th when I moved back to Idaho.
My trainer was awesome he helped me to learn the correct lifitng techniques and how to create a weight training program as well as a diet plan. If you can afford a personal trainer at the gym I highly recommend it they are great. I currently have a Gym Membership at Anytime Fitness a wonderful gym although small in size it has all the basic equipment for any major workout. Since I am going at it alone I have started using the Book I bought a few years ago for guidence in my weight training. This book is a wonderful book to get if you want to know how to increase muscle mas and gain a "Hard Body" I have been doing this now for about 5 weeks and I love how it breaks up your workouts into "beginner","Intermediate," and "Advanced".
I am currently doing the intermediate workout which allows me 3 days of weight training and 4 days of resting. Each workout is labled and gives full instructions on lifting techniques and explains how to get the best results from your workout. I have actually put on about 12lbs since I started this program but have lost inches around my waist and thighs. I aslo have gained mass and definition in my shoulders and arms.
