When I was in my middle school days, my brother and I would visit our local pool pretty much every summer day. During this time, we participated in a plethora of pointless activities. However, there was one thing we did that, had I known, would have left me a retired 25 year old by now. Walking home, we would discuss random ideas we had. One of mine, would have made me a multi bazilliongajooglinaire.
It was a day like any other, we left the pool right before the swim practice started (stupid swim practice still makes me angry). Walking home I suggested how funny it would be if there was a movie about the life that ants or bugs had. Wouldn't it be funny if they had television shows, news reports, elections, etc. I bet you could make a really funny movie about that. A few years later....A Bug's life, Antz, and a Bee Movie have all made tons of money.
But James, people throw out ideas willy-nilly, you can't take credit for that movie idea. Fine, for the sake of argument, I'll agree. However, this was not my only bazilliongajooglin dollar idea. During my freshman year of high school, my friend Taylor and I decided we were going to use words that could adequately describe a set of circumstances but that were not normally used to describe such situations. Our first creation, "Juicy." How was the test? Juicy. How was class? Juicy. How was dinner? Juicy. What do you think of James' blog? Juicy Blog. Next thing I know, "Juicy" is all over clothing. Better than Ezra releases a hit song titled, you guessed it, "Juicy."
Okay, so I missed the boat twice. However, I'm encouraged. Let's take Victoria's Secret using "Pink" to describe clothing that is blue, red, green, etc. BRILLIANT. Now, the encouragement is not from another corporation stealing my idea to describe situations with words that don't "seemingly" make sense but rather from the use of ridiculous expressions. These ridiculous expressions are commonplace in my life. Case 1, my good friend Seth and I while golfing:
Scene: Seth hits a great t-shot leaving him a very nice 2nd shot.
Seth: That was a useful shot.
James: No Seth, that shot was disuseless.
Case 2, Seth and James discussing the need for a restroom.
James: I need to use the bathroom.
Seth: Have some speculating to do?
You see, the ideas just keep coming. Now, I'll certainly have to share my ridiculous fortune with Seth, since we are each other's inspiration, but that's okay. My guess is that once we hit it big, there will be more where that came from.
What the heck does that have to do with a blog? Well, I'm glad I asked. You see, I'm tired of telling people my brilliant ideas past tense. There is now a record of any brilliant ideas or thoughts I have BEFORE they become mainstream. This blog will be so filled with brilliant expressions, thoughts, and the like there is only one appropriate name for its ridiculously amazing content: Juicy Blog. So welcome to Juicy Blog folks.
Now, a "Juicy" blog would be a misleading name if I had not offered some juicy tidbit in my first entry. But alas readers, I already have. Bazilliongajooglin is not a real number. Until now. Just wait, in five years, everyone will use this word and when they do, you'll tell all your friends that it started here, on James' Juicy Blog. Goodnight all.
