Engaged

Well by now most of you have heard the exciting news that I proposed to my honey Courtney. We went to the pumpkin patch on Saturday and picked out our pumpkins had some funnel cake and sat down to relax on some hay bales. I confessed my love and desire to spend the rest of my life with her. We each shed some tears and I proceeded to ask Courtney if she would marry me. She accepted!!! I pulled out the ring box and opened it, and before I could grab it to put it on her finger, she moved like a cat and snatched the ring and put it on her finger. I asked if I could do that, and she said no I've got it. I laughed and gave her a huge hug. She wanted to call her mom, and I said lets pay for the pumpkins and you can call on the way home....she was hesitant but agreed. As we approached the exit she noticed some familiar faces awaiting us. She broke down and started to cry in pure happiness. We are very excited and are soooo very happy. I'll keep everyone posted with as much info as possible in days to come...

Grocery Shopping

Why is it when I go shopping at the grocery store I never grab a basket or a cart to make it easier. I think that I can carry the few things that I have to purchase. I end up straining myself carrying a 12 pack of soda, bottle of wine, bottle of bourbon, butter, and cheese. Doesn't seem like much but its a struggle trying not to drop anything on the way to the checkout. I find myself searching for a basket or any kind of relief so I can put all the stuff down.

Black vs. White

As Jerry Seinfeld once said, "The thing about eating the Black and White cookie, Elaine, is you want to get some black and some white in each bite. Nothing mixes better than vanilla and chocolate And yet somehow racial harmony eludes us. If people would only look to the cookie all our problems would be solved."

I can't understand people, I don't think anyone has ever quite grasped the pure stupidity and idiocy that we the human race really convey to each other. Prime example is radio, Frank O. Pinion talked about he infamous N-word that white people are never allowed to utter unless quoting someone. The N-word is thus used by black people in everyday conversation; from saying hello blank, or my blank, or that blank is crazy. I hear it everyday in North County. If this word is so bad why would people use it to communicate like its normal. Seems quite a bit hypocritical.

I flipped to 95.5 and it was the other end of the spectrum. All I kept here was blah blah, Barak Obama, blah blah. For 1 know the candidates issues and stance, not their race. Vote based on race would ruin our society. This is why the electoral college is in affect. People are too dumb to make decisions, not merit or worthiness is thought about, but race and prejudice.

I am in no way stating my favor for either candidate, because I could care less. Our economy is in such shambles its going to take more than 1 man to make a difference in just 4 year, let alone 8 for now. That brings me to the debates...what a fucking waste. I apologize but that the perfect word. Bickering I can here at a mall sitting next to two children in the food court. Quit tearing each other down and stand up what you believe in. That is what would impress me, and get a non-voter excited to vote. Give me a reason to get my ass in gear. Young people aren't interested in what some congressman did 20 years ago, or what he didn't vote on or did, or flip flopped on. You show me a candidate that has a backbone to say this is who I am, you are a worthy competitor go luck to you, and i'll hit the poles. Until then, I will stand alone and when people bitch about the current "leader" I can enjoy my sense of pride in being indifferent and ultimately unsure. Since when do people know anything anyway!

Google top hit!!!

You never know when you will be to top hit on google.... type in Josh Kniffen in google search and revisit an oldie but goodie!

I wish I could forget Sarah Marshall

Well I rented Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and in the simplest terms wasted 4 dollars. When a movie starts out with male frontal nudity It pretty much screams not only COCK, but that we are trying way to HARD to compensate for the lack of acting ability. What a weird movie. The only part that I enjoyed was the Dracula Rock Opera, now that was funny. Who gives a shit about Russell Brand, i mean come on!!!! Thats pretty much the only thing in the movie that stood out to be different and somewhat humorous (the rock opera not Russell Brand). I would say the only time you should watch this should be if you are f-ed up and its about 3am and the only thing good on is the Magic Bullet infomercial. I'm due to watch Ironman for the first in the next two weeks, so i'll give you my review once i've seen it.

Barrister's

Friday night Courtney and I met up with Ashley, Brandon, Brad, and Lauren. We all me at Brandon's new pad, which is pretty cool, we ended up leaving at like 1130pm to go out to Barrister's in Clayton. We decided to get some buckets of beer and just hang out. We mosey up to the bar and Brandon shied away for a second and I look at him and said go ahead. He swallows hard
(just like he does normally (wink wink)), and says, "Can I have 3 Olives cherry vodka, water, and a splash of lime," The bartender furrows his brow a bit, and the two people at the bar shoot a look at brandon and each other that says, "this guy is a fairy." He laughs and says it was for ashley but it was still funny.

We proceeded to drink some beer and catch up, Gerringer shows up with Ashley and Hensley, and they keep the fun going. At one point in the evening I look at a mirror hanging on the wall and notice it resembles a female body part in shape, Brandon confirmed. After chugging a beer from a bottle with brandon, which is one of my least favorite things to do, we notice a commotion across the street at Roxanne's. Hensley turns to me and says i bet they start fighting, and not 34 seconds later it came of pushes and blows. As brad and I confirm their womanly fighting techniques by slapping each other with limp wrists we all laugh. Out of to where a bottle flies from across the street and shatters in the gutter on our side. I run over and stop the fight and explain to the two gentleman that they can ruin their own lives but they are putting others at risk. Well i didn't really do that but I would have been funny.

We finally leave and head back to my place for a little Grandma's boy and relaxing. Having to work the next day it wasn't the greatest idea, but hey I can sleep when i'm dead, and wouldn't trade a good time in for anything in the world.

Sunday Sunday

Just another Sunday afternoon, get an oil change, have some bread co., and score a fresh new haircut. Some of you might have seen my strolling down Manchester in Kirkwood, as I walked from lunch to Firestone. I got to do some people watching today which always invigorates me and induces not only a gag reflex, but a passion for writing.

I observed a family of 5, husband, wife, 2 girls, and a dog. The husband seem more than annoyed having to clean up and quite distracted by most of the surroundings. He was more interested in a car going by or a young girl passing that listen to his wife go on and on about endless bull and how great her bread co salad was. The wife had to bring the dog to bread co., but i would have guessed that they walked the dog and the family there, but the husband of course pulled the car out and they all piled in. As he backed up out of the space the wife held the dog talking to every passerby that wanted to pet the dog and wonder the bread. So he sat blocking traffic in the parking lot for at least 5 minutes.
