sometime early today i think, my site broke 10,000 hits ... good for mattio's lounge eh? and good for all of you who endured it over 10 thousand times.

my left shoe squeaks. i hate it.

its snowing again. stupid snow. mother nature needs to cool it with the snow and throw us some more not horrible weather. if it werent for my hour commute on the highway, i wouldnt really care about the snow. but since any kind of precipitation creates mass hysteria on the pike it is very inconvenient.

finally there is a mattjohnston.com

for those wondering who this "kinlin" kid i speak of is, just read and let the enlightenment begin

Buffy Does Jacksonville

beach party 2004 was a rousing success, despite my complete and total lack of preparation. thankfully my friends and roomates took the time and money to purchase delicious beverages, decorations (beachy stuff), bring in beach chairs, and invite people. i didnt do any of these things, nevermind clean the apartment before or after the party. to be fair though, not a tremendous amount of cleaning was done after the party. i also have yet to chip in for the booze or decorations. in fact, i slept from 430-930 and by then people were showing up and the boozefest had begun. despite my low involvement level i did have a fantastic time highlighted by key appearances danielle, scandier, justine, byrne (sp?) and his sister (hospital visit ... oopsy), nader, Ja, jeff allen, buckley, shaw reshaw way, pete street, and 1000 other people i never met before. good times.

good weekend. friday i went out with work buddies. disguised as team bonding, many beers were consumed on the company dollar. first we went to the sunset grill in allston, famous for its absolutley silly beer selection. 112 taps. some obscene amount of different beers. next we tried jillians where leo (age 35) got turned away for only having his hong kong id. boston billiards didnt care so we drank and played more. the older gentlemen grew tired around 12 and left me to carouse by my solo. i returned to jillians in hopes of meeting up with jess, neil, martin, and a slew of neil's crew. luckily i knew somebody working there and disappeared into Tequila Rain (the club downstairs) to continue my search. i found them, enjoyed a wet t-shirt contest, drank more beer, and stumbled home around 230. while on the home stretch, within sight of my building, you know what happens? my right shoelace comes undone. great, just what i needed. honestly retying a shoe that has already been tied ... that seems a little ridiculous. once should be more than enough.
