Girls, Barbecue, and Senioritis

First topic: girls.

So, yes, girls have been, are, and always will be very perplexing, confusing, vexing, unfathomable, unpredictable, frustrating individuals. Just when you think you have them figured out, you come across another wall that they set up. Can’t live with them, but can’t live without them. I know I only have 5 or so months left in the valley, and I’m going to go off to college. And of course it is impractical to say that I want to get in a long-term relationship, for as naive as I am, I know that it wouldn’t last. But I can’t get over the, giggly, warm-and-fuzzy, tingly, can’t help but smile sensation that she makes me feel. Be strong Jon, don’t get your hopes up, and heed the advice of your peers.

Second Topic: barbecue.

If you have read my previous posts, you will know that I’ve recently developed a mini-obsession for good BBQ. I’ve tried Outdoor Grill [not as great as expected], and I took a look at Bear Pit’s menu and it was too expensive for my unemployed budget. So, that being said, I guess the next best option is to do it myself. I’ve always attempted, and enjoyed, cooking. And I hosted a barbecue for my friends before, it was a good time of hanging out, but I must say, I was a bit disappointed with how my burgers and steaks turned out [it’s pretty hard to mess up a hot dog]. So, I’ve decided to host another one to redeem myself, don’t know when, but yeah. And if you’ve hung out with me a lot, you’ll know that I make up puns [hopefully they’re not unbearably lame] at the spur of the moment, and I just thought of one right now.

What did the boy rib say to the girl rib he met at the grill?

Hey babe, you’re barbeCUTE.

Lame, yes, but I pride myself in my jokes, no matter how un-funny they are.

Third topic: senioritis.

I think I first started off with junioritis, as my grades in the eleventh grade dropped, in comparison to previous years. But boy, they weren’t kidding when they said senioritis hits hard. Even though first semester still counts, I totally DGAF’ed and did no homework or any intense studying. Once second semester rolled around, I think I got into the final and worst stages of it. I absolutely have no concern with school whatsoever. And now, I find myself at home after school with nothing to do and oodles [yes, oodles] of free time at my disposal. So, I am declaring on the internet so that you, my readers, may keep me accountable, that I will begin exercising and lifting. Also, I will apply to the following places for a part time job:

Toys ‘R Us

CVS Pharmacy

Subway

Whole Foods Market

Donut Shop

Target

Hallmark

So yes, my plan is to apply by the end of next week, and see who calls me back and what not.

I know this has been a long post, I’m sorry, but I guess this is a result of topic #3.
