About me: My dog eats cats like yours for breakfast...but we're working on that. He really eats dog food and NOT small cats. And I do love cats too - it was just a joke...no hard feelings. We are working together to socialize with other dogs and all types of animals including cats. That is still our goal. We are making some progress. Voltaire my roommate moved in this past year. Voltaire likes the outside and long walks, so I think it will be a pretty good match. Lately I have been using the nickname Badass, since Voltaire is just that. So, you can call him either Voltaire or Badass - he responds to both.
Hi - I am Johnson. I am also known as Schwanson, not to be confused with Swan...or Swanson.
I am a Sr. Project Coordinator at a very large financial firm in St. Louis, MO not to be named here. I enjoy what I do. I negotiate to make sure everyone is happy with new SW / HW implementations. My background is in the world of IT. My job is to connect people with people and ideas with solutions.
It took me a long time to finish college, and I probably went to a school that you went to at one point. I have lived in Madrid and traveled all over the globe.
I watch the movie first and then read the book, so I can appreciate both. My thoughts and actions are genuine and true. I like to think outside of the box.
Once when I was about 6 or 7, Tony and I had this idea. We grew up next to the driving range that is no longer there. The golfers would hit golf balls into our yard. We figured out pretty quickly that the golf balls could be sold back to the range for pure profit. It paid for the driving range and the batting cage.
Tony and I decided that we could make even more money by selling the golf balls not from our back yard, but from within the driving range itself too - the only catch, we had to get to the other side of the fence. I had decided to look for the wire cutters so that we could cut a hole in the fence. Not knowing that it was destructive at the time and that someone would have to pay to put up new fence patching where we had cut through - we cut a hole, crawled through and would gather as many golf balls as we could and place them into a 5 gallon bucket. Tony would feed me golf balls through the fence and I would fill the buckets and bring them to his garage.
From there we had an endless supply of batting cage money. One day we got caught. A guy in a golf cart pulled up next to Tony and I and told us we needed to drop what we were doing and remain there. He was going to call the cops on us. That scared us half to death. We waited until he drove off - and then we bolted for home. I am sure the explanation we told to our parents made no sense. We never got caught by the police though...
Tony and I learned our lesson that day and swore to come up with a better money making idea. From then on out we spent our time hitting the golf balls back over the fence. Sometimes we would try to hit the golfers at the tee and then hide behind the hillside at my house. It was funny to see them so focused and not expect the golf balls to come back at them.
Why do I use MySpace? MySpace provides me with a place to keep in touch with friends that I know in the real world. I am interested in meeting all kinds of people and can't wait to meet you too.

I am still working to see if we can come to the farm, i appreciate the invitation but at this point i am still working with brian to see if i am going to be driving the kids up there as well as its my gmas 85th bday, i will let you know. Hopefully we can connect soon!
Yeah, I'm sure if Golds was to call anyone, you would be the last person on their list, unless they were checking to see if you were still alive because you haven't been there in 10 years.
You didn't know I was from Yugoslavia? You don't know me anymore. Swan is right when he says KU sux. If Mizzou beats Texas, and Texas beats Kansas, then MU is better than Texas...this is simple logic. Sorry Elizabeth.
i remember when johnson used to blog 5 times a day, sometimes rambling on about nothing other time rambling on about blogging. lately though his o/c has him more concerned with not going to golds gymn than it does blogging.
I was just thinking..my mom has LOADS of HORRIBLY TACKY Xmas sweaters! Remind me to dig one out for you next year! I already asked her and she said it was fine..as long as she didn't have to dig them out!
