I hated it when I would always see "SUBSCRIBE NOW" during or right after I viewed a video on YouTube. Yet now, here we are. I really need subscribers--not only because 10 is just an embarrassment--but I'm entering my web series into a contest and need to get some traffic. I subscribe back!

Vimeo Festival + Awards Contest 2012
Vimeo Festival + Awards 2012!
I plan on submitting Defining Normal into the festival and go for Best Original Series. Long shot, but might as well try! I'm honestly not good at this whole networking thing and I've been trying to figure out how to get more views/subscriptions/likes--ANYTHING! If you happen to stumble upon this, please take a look at my entry. There are three episodes in one video, so it may SEEM long but... just watch it.If you watched it, here's what I need from you: constructive criticism. That's a major thing a lack even though I'm a huge fan of it. I can't get enough people to tell me what's wrong with my videos, or what I could do to make them better. It's always "good". If you decide you don't want to watch all three episodes, you can go to to watch them individually. If you want a synopsis of each one, I'll should have them posted soon to the show's official website, . Again, constructive criticism is welcome. But don't say a rude comment and then bail. Let me know what I need to do to fix it the issue. I appreciate it!

Goodbye, Heidi!
Well for those who don't know me, I'm terrible with money. Most of my purchases happen on impulse, such as my hamster freshmen year. This year I bought a fish tank. Being a broke college student, I couldn't fill up the tank with as many fish as I liked, so I started out with 3. I also got a crab for the purpose of eating the bacteria and keeping the tank clean.
Fish #1 died before I could name it.
I let my roommate name Fish #2, but I don't have any idea how to pronounce it (much less spell it). Anyway, Fish #2 lasted about a month. I was feeding these fish once a day, keeping the tank clean (or at least the crab was), and putting some chemical in the water to make the levels more....inhabitable.
Heidi was the 3rd fish which was named by Lindsay (because she was always hiding from everyone else). I am pretty sure Heidi was responsible for the death of the other fish but I'm not expert (seeing as I don't even know what kind they were---I had a yellow one, silver one, and a red one with a neon stripe. Boom.) Recently Heidi had been hiding more than usual. I was hoping for little baby eggs.
Instead, I woke up to my crab literally reaching in to Heidi's insides and eating her remains.... May she rest in peace...ces.

I'm an uncle!
I knew this day would come, I just didn't expect to be THIS excited about becoming an uncle.
Today, October 19, 2011 at 3:17 a.m., Hendricks Daniel Johnson was born--my very first nephew--weighing 6 lbs. 7 oz. and 19.5 in. long. Mom (my oldest sister, Rebekah) and baby are both healthy and doing very well...do I hear. I'm stuck in College Station...
I'm having to do everything in my power to keep me from getting I'm my car right now and driving home to hold the little dude. I have a test tomorrow, though, so I can't go home until Friday :(
I was very bummed that I wasn't going to be at the hospital for the joyous occasion. Thanks to technology (and my mom) I got to witness the whole thing via FaceTime. I wanted to see Bec (side shot, of course) during the delivery but she didn't feel comfortable. So instead, I just had sound and Mom's facial reactions to play off of. But it was still amazing.
Can't wait to see you little guy!

Downgrade iTunes from 10.5 beta to 10.4
I thought I'd go ahead and post this because it took me way too long to find it on the web. I was going to jailbreak my phone but I am a rookie when it comes to that and I never succeeded. So I needed to downgrade my iTunes back to 10.4. Here's what you need to do:
Open 'Terminal' from your Applications.
Paste following:
sudo rm -fdr /Applications/iTunes.app
It will then ask for your password (and you can't skip this step).
Boom. That's it. Go to apple.com/itunes to download the latest version. None of this going into the folders and changing extensions bull. It's as simple as that. Hope it helps!

Find My iPhone: An App Worth Getting
It's free.
Download it in the app store. Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,etc. and set up a MobileMe account (even if you don't have an account in which you pay for. This is completely free). Sign in with your Apple id and turn Find My iPhone on. Boom. You're done. Let's stop all thieves.

Return of the iPhone!
There are still good people in this world.
At 4am, Daniel received a text message that read "I'm looking for Jon."
I prayed and prayed all week about this phone and the thief who took it. I know it sounds dumb, but I had a lot on this phone. After deactivating my sim card, the thief knew the iPhone was useless. For those who don't know, if you're iPhone is stolen, be sure to report it so that no one else can activate their own sim card in it.
The thief sold my phone to a woman around the age of 30 for $100. The woman received the phone with no sim card. My guess is that the idiot thought taking the sim card out would erase everything on the iPhone...well it doesn't work like that.
The woman turned on the phone and all the messages I had sent that night (and every one else's threat-messages) were right in front of her. The phone was connected to the Internet via wifi and the girl logged onto my Facebook and messaged the last person I had talked to, to tell them she had my phone. (The last person I had messaged, however, was a friend of the thief and I knew it.)
After thanking the woman over and over, I asked if she wanted me to pay her the $100 she lost. Her response:
"The guy who sold it to me works for me so I shouldn't have a problem getting the money back lol."
(stamp, stamp, stamp) IDIOT.
