A Little Bit Juicay.

I am pretty disappointed that nobody has written about me on Juicy Campus.  Here's what they have as part of the list for Urbanawarts.

GRYFFINDORS
Harry Potter - Marty Cuatchon
Hermione Granger - Shera Nuss
Padma Patil - Ria Roberts

Pavarti Patil - Paulina Boonman
Oliver Wood - Caleb Ganzer
Neville Longbottom - Alex Hidalgo
Dean Thomas - Alex Bielen

Lee Jordan - Justin Cudmore
Sirius Black - Raffaele Stupparitz

I would be a perfect Neville.  Check it out...

It doesn't get much better than that.  It should also be noted that Marty Cuatchon is Harry Potter meaning that he most likely made the post on Juicy Campus.  He probably also made the one declaring himself to best dressed dude on campus.  That dude is not well dressed or is he like Harry Potter.  He's more like a slightly overweight circus clown. 

Visitors

For some reason Ivica and Josh came to Urbana and hung out in my living room.(Hanging out)

Ty Ty stopped by too.

(hanging out)

We listened to some tunes.

We had some drinks.

(Gin and tonic)

Ivica did some damage.

(Double checking if he flushed)

Then he disappeared.

In the end we had a good weekend. I made some art and I think we all became better friends.

On the other hand the whole time I couldnt help but notice that something was missing.

LADIES!

(single)

What happened BROTHER?

Hollywood!

Not that big.

KTA is A in Hollywood.

Upon close examination I came to the conclusion that Marty had left this very site right before I arrived.  This is what my bathroom looks like when he "forgets" to flush the toilet.

Pasadena

I went to the Rose Bowl with my brother.

(I need a haircut)

(Don't mind if I Do)

(we didn't even pose for this picture)

Christmas Past

Before I tuck myself into bed after a very traditional and very entertaining Christmas I feel the need to reflect on two things that were out of place; I was home and so was my brother (Ben, for those of you who dont know).  The last time I saw my brother was in Shanghai about a year ago.  Spending Christmas there made me realize what a wild and wacky Christmas I had last year.  This Christmas really helped me remember some aspects of last year.

One thing was clear...

Ben and I were 'bout that money way before Marty.

Though it was crazy it was also familiar.  

Playing ping pong in the basement is a Johnson family tradition and some things never change.

The more I think about it, I can't remember the last time no one played some sort of music for the rest of the family.  The results from China are the best in recent memory.

I can't say the same for the Christmas dinner we had.

Being out of China and away from the baby turtle made me realize how nice and relaxing the holidays can be if we dont let ourselves get caught up in the hustle and bustle.  Even all the way around the world people can lose their tempers during the holiday rush.

If you are in China or Summit during the holidays all that matters is the spirit of the people around you.  Although I wasn't with my whole family the Chinese made me feel right at home because they know what Christmas is all about.
