| Dear Readers,
Today I say goodbye for a few days because it has come time to pack and return to the Ville. Words cannot describe how I feel at this moment and I will miss you all greatly..... well, not so much because we will be back together in a matter of days. Enjoy the time off, as I know I will. Break was good, and it was fun to catch up with everyone that I did. Keep it real back in good ole CT so I have something to come back to next break.
Hit the road Jack,
~Ben

| Dear Readers,
I have decided to implement a tradition in my blog entitles "Two Thought Thursday." Every Thursday I will attempt to sum up my day in two, (yes you can count them folks... two, not one or three) thoughts. This was a pretty random idea that I came up with today rounding the corner of my third hour spent screwing on caps to body wash so if it doesn't last..... I'm sure we will be able to move on. So... without further adu here goes nothing.
First off, at work today we were offered the oppurtunity to leave early with no ramifications. I of course at that moment decided that 30 bucks was more important then my safty driving home in the snow and ice storm... and chose to stay the remainder. I was one of 7 in the whole factory.
Next up on the agenda, today marked a new low reached by yours truely, when my computer forced me to shout out "uncle" as well as "I give, you are my daddy" before it would work, and on top of that, me and my parents got in a mini arguement because of the fridge door being open.
Seriously, if anyone can beat that I will buy them a box of Newman-O's. And if you don't know what those are you are obviously out of the running already.
Faster then a speeding bullet,
~Ben

| Dear Readers,
Today marks a moment in history
that will forever be remembered by myself and hopefully all. It
all started with my mother's fear that I would be unable to drive her
car if I ever had to even though there is nothing that makes it
different from the othe 10 kabillion cars that have ever been made, nor
the 5 I have ever driven. (those numbers are just estimates in
case you were going try to correct me, except the part about 10
kabillion.... I'm pretty sure that is exact) So what this whole
extravaganza ends up being is a glorified way for my mom to get a ride
to the store downtown. However, in all this, light shines
through. Anyone who knows me at all knows that I am a huge movie
buff which plays a part in my narative soon. So today for no
apparent reason, my mother and I are unable to decide between a few
movies at the rental store and my mom says we should just rent them
all. So now we have 5 rental movies sitting at home... great
huh? Except for the fact that I am only home two more days and
don't think I'll have time to watch them all..... (this is me being
sad). Oh well, better get started if I hope to finish what looks
to be a marathon. We are starting with Bourne Identity so that
later we can watch the newer one what ever its called (of course i know
the title... I'm a huge movie buff... I just can't spell superemacy...)
May all your dreams come true,
~Ben

| Dear Readers,
I have very little to say about today because as with most days of my life it was uneventful. Work... yada yada yada... and time for me to hit the hay. Of course I would be a horrible son to foret to give mention to my loving mother and father who took me out this evening for an all expense paid dinner at Smokey Bones. Grade a joint, but I do have one complaint. So this place is a sports bar and grill type and has many TVs which one could expect. However, what I did not expect is that rather then show the UCONN game, one of the TVs would be showing the weather channel. Now what kind of loser goes to a sports bar and grill to watch the weather channel. Me... what can I say... it was captivating.
After dinner we searched for a fix to my computer's many issues and came up with nothing until our last stop in which we ordered some memory that was on sale. And the people rejoiced. We then went to the gas station, which may sound like an ordinary trip to the normal person... but not with the Johnson clan. What began as my dad forcing my mother to write in his gas diary (don't ask) we decided to pay the small fee to ride the new no touch car wash. Can you say awesome? The best part was when my mom almost lost herself because the soap was different colors. By the way... my Dad says the car still looked minimally dirty. Oh well. (insert long sigh here)
Well, thats it for me tonight. I am beginning to train myself to get reasonable amounts of sleep so when I go back to school I am shocked. Hope the events of my day made you happy to be yourself as well as alive and all that other good stuff. One last thing... notjake gets props today for being willing to help me when I called him on the phone and sounded real sad.
Happy Un-Birthday to all whom that applies to,
~Ben

| Dear Readers,
I regret to inform you that today's entry has no value contained in it, so you may turn back now if you want to save precious time. The majority of my waking hours today were spent on location at Windham Manufacturing, and then in heated battle with my not so new computer at home. Many a long hour was devoted to solving the random reboot problem that few of you may have heard about.... but alas, it was to no avail. The issue still exists, and my only solution at the moment is to have my father buy more memory for it and see if that has anything to do with the problem. Why would that solve it? Who knows, but my beloved Pa suggested it and who am I to turn done a gracious gift of 256Mb more of RAM. Always remember boys and girls... don't look the gift horse in the mouth... or something along those lines that makes no really sense grammatically yet somehow translates to "don't ask."
In the long story that is known as my life I have come to know but one hero... and that hero is none other then the one and only Will Ferrell. My only break today from back breaking labor, or cursing out my not so new computer, was to watch Anchorman yet again. I can't explain why, but it just never seems to get old to me. Props to Chris for providing me with endless hours of mind numbing entertainment.
I'm out for the night, because whenever I have a real job, it reminds me how precious sleep is, and how uch I miss it when I am away at school. Okay.... let me level with you. To be honest, I am not really going to end up in bed after this, but rather in front of the TV for an hour or so, then in front of the computer checking site after site that contains content that is in no way benificial to me, and then maybe after all that.... finally.... (drum roll please) my bed.
Happy trails to you... Until we.... blah, blah blah,
~Ben
