You Decide
1) If you lend money to someone and then they pay you back who says thank you? I think you shoud. It is way easier to lend money then it is to get it back. Fact or fiction?
2) When I ask my wife out on a date, she should say yes, then discuss schedules and the kids not the other way around. Fact or fiction?
3) When you go to church and no one says hello to you it is your fault for not saying hello to anyone. Fact or fiction?
4) If your coworker takes a day off of work you resent them. If you play golf and its crowded you resent everyone out there in your way. When you go to a new hot store you hate everyone else there that makes the new store busy. People only become annoyed or frustrated with others when they see things that they them selves do, whant to do or have done. Fact or fiction?
5) Familys are more fun in the long run, but in the short run they are way less fun then friends. Fact or fiction?
Post back if you want to argue!

Dumber then ever
Brilliant thoughts for today
1) I took 3 days off and played golf seemingly a smart thing. The average tempeture for the three days in the phx area was 115 degrees. Nice job on the vaca choice
2) Work is so dumb. I work well with others but they don't work well with me.
3) Working in IT these days is like walking up a down escalator. You work really hard but you don't get anywhere. Your effort is great, and rewards are few. Once in a while there is a dude at the top that shoves you and replaces you with two overseas people that cost less. But those two dudes are doing the same thing, running up a down escalator.
4) If Brazil and Argentina start fighting will the US jump in? Or is it only if they have nukes or OIL. Goodness let's just stay out of every freakin' country in the world. Why do we care so much? Why don't I care so much? I think we should protect our interests and out citizens, but why do we have to protect everyone else? Pretty soon every country will be at war with us.
5) Just wondering: is talk radio crack for your mind? I don't think it plays a part in common peoples lives. do you ever wonder what people who call these stations do for a living? At least on Jim Rome's jungle program he calls his callers "Jobless". If I was a talk show host I wouldn't take calls. I would say " You guys are all wrong anyway, so you will LISTEN TO ME". You can't do that I guess so that's why I blog!
Peace out!

Golf
Well it's been a while but here goes. I'm a little relaxed today. You see I've played 36 holes of golf in the last 36 hours. Yes It's very cool. I took some vacation off of work because I wanted to so I played golf. It is also the British open this weekend, so in keeping with my theme so far here are the top five facts about golf and why it is a very strange game when normal people play.
1) Anyone can play and wear things that they would never wear any where else. Right Bill?
2) It's 112 outside in Phoenix and we play anyway. Golf makes me dumb like that. Normal people play, in 112 degrees, haven't played in 9 months and miss a 30 foot putt we get all mad like we were expecting play better and think we are the best players on earth.
3) There are three types of golf courses. They can easily be seperated into groups 1st group: professional-Golf carts only, must have a dress codes, small things like tees and course books are free. Tips are also part of the deal. 2nd group: semi-pro - Think they are pros but aren't get mad at you if you forget the dress code, think they are better then you because their job is to work at this golf course. 3rd group Amatures-Usually city course. Reasonably priced, course is messed up, any one can play. Shirts are barely required.
4) Golf is the only game that makes people who don't swear, swear. You can hear it every time you play.
5) Golf is also the only game that lots of people play but hate everyone else that plays too. I call this the Tiger Woods effect. Since el Tigre started playing every dude in the US thinks that he should play too. I think people should be banned from golf courses unless you pass the etiquite test, are 30 years old and can name 5 golfers that won majors before Tiger was born. Of course then I'd play alone. I can dream Right?
See ya!

5 FACTS FOR TODAY
Well here's my next five facts. I know I'm a theme person! Let's go~!
1) My swiming pool attacts people under the age of 10. Not hot girls like on beer comercials
2) If it's 110 outside in Arizona why is the pool still cold... And when I get out of the pool I'm cold. Stupid. It's refreshing though.
3) Working from home by a pool is not as hard as everyone makes it out to be. Going swiming is way more work then it was as a kid. I don't like wet underwear.
4) What do you mean salt pools hurt your eyes! Get over it you whimp, or swim at your own pool!
5) Neighbors who bring their kids over to swim, wear a swimming suit but don't swim deserve to be pushed in. Watch out J!

AZ Ben J
Well its been a year. I still don't get the addiction of blogging. I tried it. I tried to be trendy and cool and have a blog that no one reads like everyone else, but it just wasn't that fun. I don't know, maybe its just I have nothing profound to say. I have thought of some cool ideas. One is that I can kind of make this a journal You know like "Dear Diary" and tell no one all of my darkest and scariest secrets. But that wouldn't really work because I don't have that many secrets that are "secret" anyway. My other idea is to do my "top ten" Ben Johnson Opinions each week. But I'm not smart enough for top 10, so I'm only doing five! I like this idea better. So here goes...
1) Mark Cuban is the dumbest genius ever. He may seem all dark and bruding but really he's just a nerd in a cool jocks world trying to buy love from the cool kids he never got back in high school... I promise some of those players would love to give him a swirly.
2) Scoop Jackson is the best NBA writer on the planet. He's great and always interesting. His writing does come accross to me as racist everytime I read it. I can't believe that he is a racist but that he just feels like everyone (white) is so he should be to... I never miss an article.
3) ESPN is only about money. They don't care about anything else just like everyother network. My gosh listen to ESPN radio for five minutes and you'll find out. You'll get five comercials without one comercial break. "The mike and mike just shutup award sponsored by McDonalds, and on the "ONSTAR" Hotline is Joe Blow presented by AT&T .... and so it goes. It's sickning, but yet I listen...hmmm
4) College Basketball is the best spectator sport. NBA doesn't matter until June and the last five minutes of each game, NFL doesn't matter until 2nd half of the season, College football doesn't include everyone, because there is not mid-major ever making the championship (Ask Utah). But College basketball rules becuase everyone is included and every basket counts
5) Local Sports radio is way better then national sports Radio. We are spoiled here in PHX because we have a good station, but others may not. It's way better to hear about your local teams and players rather then listen to the top two or three teams / programs every day on a national level.
