He pours through it and he is ready to show the world the new improved Johnny.

Motivational and self-help books don’t work and Johnny swears he’ll never read another one.

A year later Johnny’s friend tells him about the newest, bestest, self-help author ever.

Johnny reads the authors’ series of best selling books titled, The Newest and Bestest You.

Two years later a brazened Johnny has lost 25 pounds.

Johnny isn’t about to welcome the old Johnny back because he likes his present life way too much.

As the tanks were departing on June 5th, they approached an intersection on Chang’an Avenue, a man who has since been dubbed ‘tank man’ positions himself in front of the leading tank.

The tank attempts to go around the tank man is not swayed and stays in front.

Again, the tank man plants himself in the path of the lead tank.

Before I go further with Johnny’s story, let me tell you some more about him.

Johnny is married, has three children and a dog named spot.

His rhythm is saved for the steering wheel because wifey-pooh can’t handle Johnny doing the two-step on her feet.

You see, Johnny was going to ‘make it’ plenty of times before.

She started noticing little things: like the garbage was actually being taken out by someone other than her, there was no more hollering at the TV for bad passes or missed calls, but one of her favorites was that Johnny’s pectoralis major was actually becoming major.

Friends silently wondered how Johnny was ‘catching’ all the breaks.

Every time they turned around Johnny was ‘catching’ yet another break.

It wasn’t easy because Johnny was working 5 12’s down at the plant.

Come Saturday, Johnny was working for his dream.

You see, at some point Johnny decided excuses just wouldn’t work anymore.
