Documenting the JED Experience

I got a new cell phone. My number is still the same. The coveted #1 position in my call list inside my cell phone is up for grabs. I think I'll give it to the person that sucks up to me the most. Since no one really reads my blog, I might have an empty phone book for a long time. To Bon Chappell, when you google search theJEDMAN, you only get me. theJEDMAN

I got to go to another good party this weekend. I got to hang at Manino's house. Manino is awesome. Manino is the man. Manino had a big TV and we watched large men smash each other with Fiber glass helmets. Manino had good snacks and comfortable chairs to sit in. Manino told me to come back anytime. Interesting.
I've gone to two good parties in consecutive weekends. This is good. It has restored my faith in people a little bit. I was having too many opportunities to hang with people that could lower my standard of living too much. I mean not that I'm a snob, but I just know when something won't work or create possibilities of conflict and complications. I've had possibilities to enter relationships that would just not work for theJEDMAN. So, I've been finding stuff to do on my own. There are some things that theJEDMAN just does not want to do. It is tough being theJEDMAN.
One thing that both parties were missing was a cute vegan chef girl. I've waited all my life for a cute vegan chef girl. If I had a cute vegan chef girlfriend, I could really eat a lot of vegetables. I like vegetables. Vegetables are good. I like the fiber. I take all that medication that wreeks havoc on my system. Those vegetables make things go smoothly. I'll tell you those vegetarians got something going. When I eat vegetarian food, I feel pretty good. I may not get full and I may feel hungry later, but I feel good. Drinking soda, sugar, salt and alcohol can make you feel like crap. Eating a lot of that junk just makes your body crave it more. Plus, I don't think humans were meant to eat big slabs of meat all the time. We are only supposed to eat little slabs of meat. I'll probably never be a vegetarian, but I'm going to eat a lot of vegetables to jam those little slabs of meat through my colon faster. I think if I had a cute vegan chef girlfriend, it would be an upgrade for theJEDMAN. theJEDMAN

After ripping through the Topflight league with a league best 12-1 record including a 12 game winning streak to start the season, it appears that my team, theJEDHEADS, have pulled a Cheaps. I fear that I will lose in the first round of the playoffs. It is devastating to me. This was supposed to be my championship season, but my defeat is inevitable. For the last 7 weeks I've been getting everyone's best game. In my league is not uncommon for guys to win 60-40. In almost every game this year, I've had to score over 100 points to win. In my only defeat, my opponent had to break my single game scoring record to beat me. The players of my opponents week after week have had career days. This has happened to me in the playoffs. Some guy named T.J. scored four TD's today to help seal my fate as a first round flop. It is crushing to me. This was to be theJEDHEADS championship season. This was supposed to be the season of theJEDHEADS. theJEDMAN

I went to a classy party on Saturday night. It was in an exclusive neighborhood with flat houses, square shapes and car ports. I was let into the neighborhood even though I was wearing sneakers. The party was small. At any one time, there were only around 10 people there. There were couples. There were single guys. I don't think there were any single girls there, but the party was awesome anyway. There were people with good shoes there. There were people without shoes there. The party was held mostly in the kitchen. It was an awesome open kitchen with big counter tops for a party. Many people could hang there. The kitchen is always the best spot at any party. They had designer beer, good dip and chocolates. There were lots of things to see. There were tile floors and tile walls. There was a guy w/o shoes. There was art and collectibles. There were globes, swizzle sticks and a big spatula. There were quality people there. There were professionals and academics. The party had international people too. There was a guy w/o shoes. I chatted with a few people. Most of the people at the party were strangers to me. I didn't chat a lot as I was in awe the whole time there. I wanted to take in the moment and preserve it as a lasting image. I wanted this moment to connect to as many schema in my beautiful mind as it could.
This was like an exclusive L.A. party, but in the land of the Creek City. I didn't know that a world like this could exist in the middle of the Creek City. I hadn't had much faith in humanity lately. I could only stand to be by myself a tad bit more than I could stand being with people. This party was different. It was posh without being stuffy. It was elegant without being extravagant. It was a lovely without being an over the top gala. It was absent of yeahooness. Lately, I have had a tremendous disdain for anything yeahoo. There was nothing yeahoo here. There was a guy w/o shoes. It was a lovely evening. I enjoyed the party. I was fortunate to go. theJEDMAN

I think I want to fight Pipi. I think it would be a good fight. I would definitely crush him. It would be 10 rounds of championship boxing. I think it would be worth millions. I've got height, reach, weight, sex appeal, hair follicles and intelligence over Pipi. I would toy with him for one round and then let the hammer fall in round two. Yeah, I think I want to fight Pipi. theJEDMAN

Man, I went to work without a belt on Monday. My cotton dockers had no friend. I felt and looked like a dope. To be complete, the outfit needs a belt. I usually am very careful to match my belt with my shoes. My shoes had no match. Fashion is everything to me. I was in fashion turmoil. theJEDMAN

I have nothing to do, so I went to the new Olathe Hooter's. I know it is one of those places in the burbs with no soul, but it was awesome. I knew that they would stockpile that place with talent for the opening and they did. They imported girls from other Hooter's nation wide. They were talented. I go for the wings. I don't ever eat fried food anymore, but I like those wings. I figure I can eat them twice a year. I think I like the OP one better. There are better sight lines there. Plus, you can really sit close to the deep fryer. So close that you get hit with lard. Also, the cloths line goes right out into the dining area. Then, you can really see those orders go in. I think there are 4 Hooter's in the metro. I want to do a JEDMAN Hooter's reality tour. I'd hit all four Hooter's in the metro on the same day. It would be awesome. The only guys stupid enough to do this with me would be the Barcelona "Bad Boy" and Oswego. Neither would want to do it, but Oswego would do it out of loyalty to theJEDMAN. The Bad Boy would do it just to get the free beer that I would buy. It could be awesome. theJEDMAN

My fantasy team in the TOPFLIGHT league finally lost in the last regular season game of the year. I finished 13-1, but I earned the number 1 seed in the playoffs. I got murdered in the last game, but I still scored over 100 points, which was enough to win almost every other game in my league. Guys are having the games of their careers when they play me. Well, I'm either going to win in the playoffs or pull a Chiefs and get beat in the 1st round. Wish theJEDHEADS good luck. theJEDMAN

After ten weeks of the TOPFLIGHT league fantasy football season, my team, theJEDHEADS, are 10-0. I'm tearing up the league. I've been crushing other teams. Run TIKI Run is our battle cry. I'm in great position for a glorias championship season. I'm in position to win thousands of dollars. It is the year of theJEDHEADS. theJEDHEADS rule! theJEDMAN

I needed to take a shower and I had no soap. I went to get some soap. It was around noon. I was hungry. I hadn't had any bar food in a long time. I went to Tanner's to get some fries, dead cow and watch the first half of the Chiefs game. It was quite the world in there watching football and drinking on a Sunday at noon. I was sitting at the bar and these lushes were next to me. It was one o'clock and these people had already had 4 big cups of bud light and it wasn't even half time yet. The Bears game was on close by so there were some good drunks. I eat. Then, this hag starts talking to me. She called me Peyton and said that I looked like Peyton Manning the NFL QB. Then she goes on and on trying to guess my name. Anyway, she was probably my age, but she look like she was 50. She was thin. She was drunk. She probably stayed thin because she doesn't eat and she smokes a lot and gets all of her nutrition from barley and hops. I gave her the brush off because she was just plan too scary. So I drank my one beer, paid my bill and got the hell out of there. I've been attraching all kinds of weirdos lately. theJEDMAN

I have this bad habit of going to Hooter's. It is my neighborhood bar. I like sitting at the bar, because I like watching the cooks, all the servers come there eventually, and the bartender is friendly and nice to me and she remembers me each time I go in. I don't like it when she is not working. She is always there on weekend nights. The other bartenders are not as friendly. Well, she's my bartender, so I have this vision of her in my head. Well, her husband came in the other night and sat by me. I talked to the guy. He had just run over a crotch rocket rider. My whole vision is shot. I didn't want to go out with her and I don't care if she's married, but actually meeting her husband shatters my mental world. Fantasy added a real element. Fantasy and reality should be separate. I have nothing else to live for, but what goes on in my mind. That is the great thing about your mind. No one can take what is in your mind away from you. theJEDMAN

I know I haven't written too much lately. I just haven't been in the mood. The B-Bad Boy is here in town. We've spent some time at Hooter's. We took fogona down there to get some chicken wings. I love it down there. I get the best service. The B-Bad Boy and I hit Lawrence on Sunday. We made some of the rounds. I really feel at home. Other than that, I haven't done anything. I've just dealt with some personal turmoil and fight off some demons. I did get an opportunity to hang with female colleagues at a club the other night. It was great. I got asked by one of them how often I needed relations with a woman. I didn't really know how to answer. They didn't buy the answer that I gave. This entry is no good, so I'm going to quit now. theJEDMAN

I was duped. There was this Mix 93.3 all day rock show at the amphitheater formally known as Sandstone last Saturday. It was mostly acts that I've never heard of or people that just are in my musical attraction template, but theLIZ was going to play at 8:30. Make any sacrifice for theLIZ. I got out there in plenty of time to see theLIZ. I plop down $20 to get in. I sit through some clown called JC and Hulk Hogan's offspring. At 8:30, theLIZ did not appear. Some other pretty boy metrosexual band played. They changed the order of acts. I was crushed. I checked the website at 6:30 before I left. They could've posted a change. People have these websites and don't update them. This is wrong. There were people pulling into the parking lot and buying tickets when I got there so late in the show. How can I follow theLIZ with these errors in technology. It would have been like Angie missing the RED ZONE.I was duped. theJEDMAN

I bled. I bled on the disc golf course. I sacrificed for the sport. I was playing rosedale. It is a tough course. My orange leopard disc collided with a tree and darted into the woods. I went in after it. I scaled down this steep incline through thick brush to retrieve my disc. I got pretty cut up on the way. I bled. I bled on my disc. I injured myself for the sport. I finished the round. I played pretty well. I nailed a 30 foot put right in front of some pros. I'm awesome. I'm theJEDMAN. theJEDMAN

Last night, I went to the big Metallica/Godsmack show at the Kemper. It was loud. There was fire. It was loud. There were explosions. It was loud. There were lasers. It was loud. There were plenty of sights coveted by the superficial man. It was loud. There were bad fashion choices. I didn't gain any answers. I just had one question. Why do all the wrong women wear sexy heavy metal cloths? It was really sweaty hot in the arena, but I didn't see any tops come off. Overall, it was Kick A.
I didn't want to go to the show, but I felt I had to go. I owed it to the significance of the day and I owed it to the genre. I've spent my whole life worshipping at the heavy metal alter of San Franciscan molt and steel. Everything I am today is because of heavy metal. I owe my life to heavy metal. I don't know how I would have made it without heavy metal. I am heavy metal. I am love.
I took the Hero. I went through several plans to fill the spot, but the Hero stepped up to the plate. The Hero is awesome. theQUICK is theQUICK. theQUICK needs no explanation anywhere in the civilized world. theQUICK is in the big leagues. The Hero is the Hero.
Godsmack was ok. No need to review them. Metallica was pretty good. They played all the hits for the pop kids like me. They ended the show with entersandman as expected. They played for two hours. It was quite the endurance feat for theJEDMAN on the first day of his 38th year, but he made it and he didn't put in his ear plugs. He's a contender. He is the new champion. theJEDMAN

I played 27 holes of disc golf today in Olathe on 2 courses. I opened up the day at Prairie Center Park. There were a lot of people playing there. It is a good course. It is well marked with tee pads at every hole. There is just no distance on the markers. There are lots of trees that you have to maneuver around. There is one hole that has a minefield of trees to throw over, under around and through. There is one hole that has an island green. I played pretty well, except for 18 when I hit every tree on the fairway. My putting was good too. Drive for show, put for dough. Then, on the way home, I played at the California Trail. I was the only one playing this course. It is a nine hole course around the Jr. High. It is wide open. There is no way to lose your disc. The course is well marked, but there are no tee pads, but they give the yardage for every hole. I played well there on this windy course. I was given some new equipment. It worked out well. I've played 4 times this week. I thought my arm my give out, but it held up strong. My elastic band simulations are going well to strengthen the arm. I'm working on using the full body in the motion. I'm going to play 27 again tomorrow. I'll be ready to go pro soon. theJEDMAN

I played disc golf three times this week. I played down at Rosedale Park. That course is awesome. It is a professional course. That's what has been holding me back, not playing on professional course. The one in Lawrence is not good. No marked tee off pads and crisscrossing of holes. Rosedale is the best.
You have to remember that I'm an athlete. I can throw that disc with power and control. I hit a lot of pars that last time. I even nailed a couple of long puts. One a curved around a tree branch into the basket. After the last time, my arm was a little tired, so I've been simulating the throwing motion with an elastic band to strenghthen the bread and butter of my sport, THE ARM. I don't know what I'll do if I can't play, but I'll be ok. You can make about $4.50 an hour on the pro tour, so I got that in my future. I'm looking good. theJEDMAN is an athlete. I'm a good spokesman for the sport. I would never do anything to hurt the sport. theJEDMAN

I got to go to a party sponsored for theQUICK. It was awesome. There was dip and chips. The dip was good. It had the proper guacamole to refried bean ratio. Plus, there were fritos scoops. The best chip for dip. I love dip. This dip was good. There is always the best dip around when theQUICK is around. The dip made the whole party. The dip was the party. I'll have to go to T-town again. My opportunities to hang with theQUICK in T-Town may be number. The bigger story is that the bobble heads days in T-Town are numbered. theQUICK is awesome. Support theQUICK. Love theQUICK. theJEDMAN

T-Town. I spent the weekend in T-Town. I spent the weekend in T-Town with theQUICK. theQUICK is awesome. theQUICK is the greatest. theQUICK had dip and chips. I've been a lot of places that had chips and I've been a lot of places that had dip. I just haven't been to many places that had chips and dip at the same time. I got to go to Super Dillons with theQUICK. It was my second time food shopping with theQUICK. It was awesome. We barbequed. It was meat and starch. I renamed his dog theJEDMAN. The dog liked the new name. Then, we partied in T-Town. We hit some place to watch the game. theQUICK did a good job picking the server. She had some of the qualities coveted by the superfiscial man. Then, we hit Spanky's. Spanky's is awesome. It was classy and trashy at the same time. They had pounders. theQUICK is a good host. No one was more fun than Bon Chappell from 1985-1995. It was the Bong Chappell decade. From 1997-2004, theQUICK is the fun. The 70% theQUICK decade. theQUICK rocks. theQUICK made eggs and toast. The eggs were awesome.

I saw theLIZ. I saw the Liz Phair Rock and Roll show. I journeyed to Chicago's Vic Theater to see theLIZ on Friday March 11. theLIZ returned to her hometown of Chicago to play a really cool theater. It was awesome.
theLIZ came out wearing tight low riding jeans with yellow retro puma's and a yellow canvas belt to match. Remember the belt makes the outfit. theLIZ also had on a halter top like thing with lots of mid-drift to appeal to make the superficial man happy. The superficial man makes up a big part of theLIZ's fan base, including this reporter. theLIZ was so beautiful. When I saw her last fall she had a skirt and high heels on. The retro Pumas allowed for more freedom of movement thus, torturing the superficial man with her sultriness. I sat there in a serious gaze. theLIZ is so beautiful I would eat bacon and gravy until I puked to get on her tour bus. I love theLIZ.
Not suprisingly absent from theLIZ was the tailbone tattoo. Let that be a lesson to you young girls out there. Don't mark up your tailbone. The superficial man doesn't like it. Also, there was nothing dangling from the belly button. Another big no no for the superfiscial man. theLIZ is a role model for young girls.
Since the fall show in Kansas City, I've been studying up on theLIZ with my private theLIZ listening parties. She played all of my favorites, including all the ones that have bad words in them. theLIZ is subtle about her bad word choice. I love that about theLIZ. It was awesome. It was high intensity power chick pop rock. I loved it. It was extraordinary. It was flashing lights and the beautiful LIZ. It was rock and roll. I've been waiting all my life to see a good power rock show with a chick singer. If it wasn't for that security force, I would probably be Liz's boyfriend right now.
The next day. theLIZ played a 5 songs at the Apple store on Michigan Avenue. It was great. That is the third time that I got to see theLIZ. I've followed theLIZ. All this time, I've had this well controlled obsession with theLIZ, thinking I'm the only one is this category. When I mention theLIZ to other people, most don't know who she is. Well, after going to these shows, there are a lot of dopes following theLIZ around like me. I thought I was the only one. There is competition for the love of theLIZ. I might not be the new champion.
I did some other stuff in Chicago. I might live there if I had a lot of money in the summertime. It probably gets really cold there in the winter. Cold, bad for theJEDMAN. There were a lot of richies in Chicago on Michigan Avenue. It is a true land of the beautiful people. There are a lot of beautiful women there walking around in beautiful cloths with beautiful hair, beautiful attitudes, being beautiful. I love being in the land of the beautiful people. theJEDMAN is beautiful and being with the beautiful people is where her belongs.
I watched them paint the river green for St. Pats. I saw some of the parade. I got tired of playing video games at the ESPN zone and gave my game card to a little kid. I ate a lot of vegetables and avoid the pork chops. I went to a dive Irish bar on Ontario Street that was a hole, but it was awesome. I drank some Lenie Red served by a bartender that provided many superfiscial man moments. I rode in a cab that went really fast. I rode in a cab that sounded like it was really broken. I didn't know protocol for tipping the doorman. I ate eggs, but no bacon. I missed out on some pizza. theJEDMAN

I haven't had the chance to write in over a week. A lot has happened. Let me recap:
*The golden retriever is no more. I'm saddling up the new Maroon Marauder Mac II. I loved the retriever, but it was just too temperamental. It left me stranded one too many times.
*They're playing the new Liz Phair single on the radio, but they are leaving off the guitar intro to the song. Plus, Wal-Mart is selling a censored version of theLIZ CD. Disrespect to theLIZ. Liz is no Hip Hopper that rants and raves with profanity and violence against people. theLIZ just can't find a good boyfriend. She needs to find theJEDMAN. theLIZ is very subtle about putting in a bad word once in awhile in her songs. The subtlely makes it good. Stop dising theLIZ.
*A couple of hairs in my eyebrows grow way longer than the others. I clipped them off. That is metrosexual behavior baby!
*I made a couple of trips to Hooter's. I go there for the pop culture. Plus, it is kind of my neighborhood joint. People take a lot of little kids in there. It is a family place. The Hooter's girls are good role models. There was a bachelorette party in there. The bachelorette got her picture taken with the Hooter's girls. Also, I ran into this dude that used to work at the KING CRAB. He was there with his wife. Furthermore, I have kind of achieved something that I never had intended with this study of pop culture. I have achieved regular status at Hooter's. The bartender doesn't know my name, but she remembers me each time I come it. She mentions something that we talked about the last time. This is a very dangerous status to hold. I might have to actually do something about getting a life soon. This regular status may just be too much to handle.
*No one has entered the win a date with theJEDMAN contest to the Metallica Rock and Roll Show. The Hooter's girl may be the leader, since she is the only one I have talked to that seems to be eligible. Get those entries in. Read the February 22nd entry.
*I won $9.25 playing poker in Raymore. That is big money. I'm the new champion. I left the party early. I always leave early now. Leaving early adds to the mystic of theJEDMAN. It makes it look like I got somewhere to go. It was kind of dangerous walking out of there with almost 10 bucks of people's money. I could have got my legs broken. Plus, I left to see theQUICK. TheQUICK was in town. theQUICK is the greatest. He flexed the tarjeta for Bucklin and theJEDMAN. Plus, theQUICK did an awesome job picking the section to sit in. I was glad to see Bucklin. I hadn't seen him for a long time. He has responsibility, unlike theJEDMAN. theJEDMAN

I bought Metallica tickets. Metallica is coming May 11th to Kemper Arena to celebrate my birthday. James, Lars and he boys decided they needed to play a big show for theJEDMAN on his birthday. It is not so much the band that is intriguing for me. It is the fact that it will be a kick A time. So, we are having a win a date with theJEDMAN contest. Send me an email essay stating why you deserve to hang with theJEDMAN on his birthday at the big Metallica show. Anyone can enter, but if you are female and I think you're cute then you have a better chance of winning. theJEDMAN

It has been a week, but I was in Nebraska last weekend. I went to a collegiate sporting event. You won't believe what was across the parking lot from the hotel, Hooter's. I braved the sub-zero temperatures and stopped in for a beer. It was not the prototypical Hooter's Restaurant that I am accustomed to. It was a little lacking, but I had a good time. The day of the game it was below zero. Not a good temperature for sight seeing. The team I went to see played terrible and was crushed. All of their fans were devastated. I had a bad burrito downtown during the trip. I can't go back to Nebraska. I ran on the $40 mini-bar charge. They are probably looking for me. theJEDMAN

I spent all day watching this show on the chick channel. It is about a bunch of hot women in their 30s in L.A. The show them going on dates and whinning when the dudes turn out to be losers. It is awesome. I like the one chick that yells at these dudes on the phone before she ever meets them. Then, she'll discount them in some way after the first five minutes usually and whine about it. You can tell I was bored. I didn't have anything to do, so I watched this show for five straight hours. I was such the lazy JEDMAN. theJEDMAN

I got jacked on the Internet. I did one those dating sites a long time ago. My profile is still on there. I never got any dates from it so, I never look at it anymore. Every once in a while someone will email me. Usually, it is some woman in their 30s with teenage children and no job that responds to me. I attract women that have a lot of stuff going on that I don't really want to deal with. This time a woman emailed me that seemed reasonable. Being on there is free. You have to pay for the service to respond to people. So, I got on an paid the $20 to respond to her. Then, after one email. She dumps me. She said that I wasn't settled. This is true. I got duped anyhow. theJEDMAN

Instead of saying, "Waiting for you to get off work." I said, "Duhhhhhhhhhhhh." I'm so smooth with the ladies. She did call me "SWEETIE" later on. I spent a little too much time there this time.

I got jacked at the corporate coffee house. It was devastatingly cold out. I went in to warm up and to read a magazine. I got my regular corporate non-designer coffee. I beat the system by not falling into the trap of buying the high end drinks. I went to the corner chair in front of the sofa to sit by myself. I wasn't there five minutes when these three adults and four kids invaded my space. They sat right next to me. Practically, they moved in right on top of me. This kid kept running into my leg. His dad kept telling him not to, but he did it anyway. The other kids were crawling all over the place. I would have tried to leave, but I would have smashed a little kid trying to step over them. I was furious. Eventually they left. The corporate coffee house is for adults to sit and talk quietly or read in a quiet environment. It is not for little kids. I couldn't believe that those people were so bold to do that, even when it was obvious that the kids were physically invading my space by bumping into me. The thing that is funny is that there were plenty of other seats to sit in. There should be a rule of space distribution in seating in public spaces. theJEDMAN

Super Sunday! I watched the game by myself. I used to get to watch it with Manino, but that dude blew me off this year. The one party that I did get invited to was too far away with the icy weather that we had. I got myself uninvited from that party anyway thinking that I would get lots of invites and be able to choose. I'm not as popular as I think I am. I had a good time.
I ate a can of chili beans, one roma tomato, three flour tortillas, onion, cheese, salsa, fritos, 3 cokes, 1 beer and an ice cream sandwich. Some of that stuff I turned into a burrito. Beans are good. Everyone should eat beans. The three cokes, the beer and the fritos made me feel like hell. Not the beans. Beans are good. Eat beans or die. I ate like a king tonight. theJEDMAN

I got a new phone. I have the same phone number, but my phone book is in the old phone. So, if you want a coveted position in my phone book you better act now. All the top spots are being taken up. Slots 1 and 2 are taken up now. Hurry to get your slot.
It took a lot to get this phone. I had to show some frustration at the Best Buy to get the new phone on my service plan. The customer service I received was very poor. I know all about customer service. I know bad service when I see it.
I went to Hooter's again last week. It took so long to write about it that I forgot about all the cultural phenomena that I witnessed at Hooter's. I learned one thing on this trip. Never go to Hooter's at 3 in the afternoon. There are only a couple of girls working. Go about 5. That is when the shift change occurs and the night shift girls come in. It is great. You get to see the most girls at that time. Also, there was a lot of people coming in for take out. I just don't understand Hooter's take out. It ruins the phenomena. theJEDMAN

I am the new champion! I defeated the pack and took home the title in picking bowl games in the office pool. I'm #1!. It was my greatest victory. I continued to smash the competition and I broke their will. I'm the new CHAMPION! I won 153,000 dollarinis. I may have some decimal point problems. I'm such a good guy. I just might buy designer coffees for whoever has the guts to show up. So, read this again soon for an update of a time an place. It will be the first theJEDMAN tour stop of 04. theJEDMAN
