Tears of Joy

The last time I cried was this morning when my sixth wife overcooked my oatmeal . . . that was until I saw this incredible video . . .

Disclaimer: Have tissues nearby before watching, tears will be shed.

Canoe Trip 07

PJ and JJ had a great time on their canoe trip except they ran into some crazy red necks at their camp site.

Canoe Trip '07

Good times. JJ and I bonded on the Rifle River with The Champagne of Beers. The fried chicken was gone. CJ - my pick is Miami baby. I like how you continue to load up on MVIS. We all know where that stock is going. Money in the bank. More deals. Production by '08. Real nice. The revolution is happening.

My slaves over in Japan, after consuming mass quantities of fried rice, have finally opened their eyes and have gone long NTDOY. Crazy for a country's 5th largest company to do gaming. We still do not have the Wii. Not because the sale isn't quite big enough at the local EB games, still out of stock. This has been going on ever since release. Can't even buy it at full price. Tomorrow it will happen. I'll tackle an 8th grader if I have to. T Woods will be broken in tomorrow night.

Hail to the Victors!!!

In the second half, father Johnson leaned over to PJ and actually made a nostradomus-like prediction when he said that CU would come back and win the game. So if he can predict a comeback, then he can definitely predict the future of MVIS. With CJ considering retirement after his summer roadtrip, he would like to know 2 things from the modern day nostradomus, better known as Pops. #1: When is MVIS going to blow up so he can buy a summer home in Destin"y" #2: Is CJ's future wife going to be a model from south beach or a model from San Diego.

Cinnamon Sprinkles BUY: MVIS

I bought 776 MVIS @ $5.13.

Disclaimer: If you buy MVIS because of this post, you will leave a dirty cereal bowl on the kitchen counter, which will lead to an immediate bloody spanking by Mother Johnson.

Destiny to Detroit

Its good to be home.

You have to see it to believe it.

Happy Festivus MVIS!!!

July 24, 2007 is the day MVIS declared its independence from all those idiot impatience short sellers. We don't need you and we don't want you. Let's celebrate this special day by doing jumping jacks while drinking jack daniels. That's what I'll be doing all day long. On a side note, ironically three years ago to this very day our father, Paul Johnson, declared his independence from his closet and came frolicking out of his closet wearing a pair of black spandex . . . . . Congratulation MVIS on your success and congratulations father on being a homo.

Position Update: MVIS

Microvision signs deal with Motorolla to develop the PicoP miniature projector (A.K.A. Christmas in July).

Nice.

a poem to read on your next date

By Percy Bysshe Shelley

Love's Philosophy

The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the Ocean,
The winds of Heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle.
Why not I with thine? —

See the mountains kiss high Heaven
And the waves clasp one another,
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother,
And the sunlight clasps the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea:
What is all this sweet work worth
If thou kiss not me?

Paris in the Office

Apparently mailbox security at home has been lighter than usual. Paris was delighted when I walked in on him reading the July issue of Maxim Magazine.

Old Footage of Dad Coaching

Dad was never the best coach. Probably because he had zero compassion and only wanted to win playing dirty. Here's footage from one of the RYSL team's he coached in the mid 90's.

Position Update: MVIS

My attitude toward MVIS is shifting toward apathy. While I remain bullish on the stock (and the tech sector as a whole), I am simply...tired.

I received an interesting stock pick from Scott McFearson (Tarkington) yesterday.

UA (Under Armour)

He has insight on sports related apparel and is a UA loyalist. He also mentioned being very impressed with their new product line. Check it out.

Morning Routine

As a "Man of Hygiene", I'm always looking for ways to improve my morning routine.

CJ Has a Date on The Road

Even during a vigorous touring schedule...Cinnamon Sprinkles still finds time for the ladies.

Rocket Science

CJ Gets Fast Food on the Road

"Cinnamon Sprinkles" busy tour schedule has left him very little time to exercise and eat healthy.

On the road again . . .

The week in destiny . . err Destin was amazing. The time off was much needed. Our touring schedule gets pretty intense very quickly with 5 consecutive shows . . . Nashville to Atlanta to Memphis to Dallas then to Houston. Anyways, one area of my life I have been really struggling with is my anger. I tend to lash out at people for just a short moment then return back to my normal self. The truth is "if I fake it, then I don't have it." Take a look at my most recent blow up . . .

I saw something yesterday that I have not seen since before any of you were born. I stepped on the scale, and my weight registered at 168 pounds. I estimate that the last time I saw my weight under 170 was about 1979. So . . . last night I went and toasted the event . . .

No Cavities . . . Jeff's six month dental cleaning is a success.

Busted!!!

After a long and tough day of getting skin cancer at the beach, I drove back to the condo tired and ready to hit the sack. I hadn't seen PJ all day, he was slinging fish or so I thought. Anyways, I get home to what I think is a quiet condo with no one home. Oh was I wrong. So I walk into the condo, put on my favorite pair capri sweatpants and head over to the bathroom to brush my teeth and look at my chiseled figure. I opened the bathroom door and let out a girlish scream, because I caught PJ in the bathroom watching this . . . .

Another Day At The Office

Without father odyssey knowing, I have been secretly watching him on a hidden office cam to learn what lawyers really do while they are at work. This is what I've discovered . . . .

Mid-Day Thought:

When is MVIS gonna sign this deal? At least give us some good news. Patience is overrated.

Prediction: MVIS touches $7 by July 30.

Thursday Morning Oatmeal Motivation

Happy Birthday America!!

Today is America's birthday. Happy Birthday America! But more importantly, today is the day us singles celebrate our independence. God bless America, God bless MVIS, God bless my father's gayness, and God bless destin with a 'y.'

Freedom

CJ and I will be cruising over to Okaloosa Island for the day. This is the busiest time of year for Destin. I'm liking Destin more and more everyday.

My time here has just been extended again. They asked me to stay until August 15. That was just a little too long. I will be coming home July 26. This is a day before the Canoe Trip to the Rifle River.

Independence Day July 4, 1776

On July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress, comprising delegates sent by the legislatures of the thirteen colonies, voted to declare complete independence from British rule, and on July 4 the formal wording of the declaration (principally the work of Thomas Jefferson) was approved and the document signed.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation upon such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are long accustomed.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good people of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do.

And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

The Declaration of Independence

Poem: "The Coming of Archy" by Don Marquis

The Coming of Archy

expression is the need of my soul
i was once a vers libre bard
but i died and my soul went
into the body of a cockroach
it has given me a new outlook on life

i see things from the under side now
thank you for the apple peelings in the wastepaper basket
but your paste is getting so stale i can't eat it
there is a cat here called mehitabel i wish you would have
removed she nearly ate me the other night why don't she
catch rats that is what she is supposed to be for
there is a rat here she should get without delay

most of these rats here are just rats
but this rat is like me he has a human soul in him
he used to be a poet himself
night after night i have written poetry for you
on your typewriter
and this big brute of a rat who used to be a poet
comes out of his hole when it is done
and reads it and sniffs at it
he is jealous of my poetry
he used to make fun of it when we were both human
he was a punk poet himself
and after he has read it he sneers
and then he eats it

i wish you would have mehitabel kill that rat
or get a cat that is onto her job
and i will write you a series of poems
showing how things look
to a cockroach
that rats name is freddy
the next time freddy dies i hope he won't be a rat
but something smaller i hope i will be a rat
in the next transmigration and freddy a cockroach
i will teach him to sneer at my poetry then

don't you ever eat any sandwiches in your office
i havent had a crumb of bread
for i dont know how long
or a piece of ham or anything but apple parings
and paste leave a piece of paper in your machine
every night you can call me archy

Kevin: It's not bad though... Just a job

Good to see our Johnson Family Military Presence is doing well in the desert.

CJ Starts as a Yoga Teacher Trainer

Hidden Camera Footage of PJ Training in Destin

Update From Destin

The first few days were rocky to say the least. They say everything is big in Texas. Well everything is a little slower in the south. These people can barely retain their own last name. I had to take over a 10 top two days ago because a girl came in drunk. She only wrote down half the order. She went as far as ordering herself a personal chocolate milkshake after she took the order. 15 minutes went by, she still had nothing rung in, and was drinking her milkshake at the bar. This type of behavior is actually above average. Crazy.

I have a new task of training 6 new associates. A week isn't going to cut it.

My time here has now been extended. I will be here until, as of now, July 15.
