I LOVE YOU GOODLUCK JOHNATHAN

Who is the current acting president of Nigeria you ask?

Why, it's Goodluck Johnathan.

(Which is only slightly a better name than "Okey Billy Boniface", as seen in Baby Police)

I love you Goodluck Johnathan. And I love you Nigeria. But more than the man himself I love the name. And more than the name I love the Johnathan in the name.

Please allow me to tell you the story of Johnathan:

Some time ago I went to Karaoke with some friends, and my friend Kei was singing a song that was either by the Blue Hearts or some other permutation of the Blue Hearts. I can't remember what the song was called. The chorus went like this:
"REAL
REALITY
REAL
REALITY"
But that's not the important part of the story. The important part of the story is this: The beginning of the song, and subsequently every verse following the chorus, was simply these lyrics:
"JOHNATHAN
(pause)
JOHNATHAN".
I don't know what this means or who Johnathan is. I don't know how Johnathan is linked to the real reality in the chorus. But I know that the name Johnathan got me hyped.
I am not sure why but when I was in a cramped room full of people singing the name "Johnathan" I felt like a horse being spurred. I felt like I had divided in two and watched half of me wave as he boarded a rocket. I knew words and I knew they didn't mean anything anymore.
The word "Johnathan" became tremendously funny to me. I say "word" and not "name" because the name is not funny. Just the word. This is an important distinction.
I have friends named Johnathan and I am in no way laughing at them or their name. It is a good name and apparently it means "given by god" (YHWH(shortened) plus NTN).
The funny part of Johnathan is in Johnathan being sung. The funny part of Johnathan is perhaps the real reality. The magic of Johnathan is "Johnathan".
I shared the power of Johnathan with a friend who also found Johnathan hilarious. We would make callbacks to Johnathan. Johnathan was constantly referenced.
But somewhere Johnathan stopped being funny. And if not funny, it lost its magic. My friend was introducing himself as Johnathan at parties. People were saying Johnathan too much. He ruined it. Or I did. Anyway, it got driven into the ground.
But the power of Johnathan has come back into my life. Johnathan is magic again.
And this is from listening to NPR's "All Things Considered". They told me all about Goodluck Johnathan.
When I heard this name I knew.
I love you Goodluck Johnathan.

A JOKE THAT DIDN'T WORK BUT I STILL FIND FUNNY

So I cracked myself up the other day.
I was sitting on a park bench with a friend of mine smoking a cigarette and talking.
Then a Chinese tour group came by, being lead by the tour leader who had a flag that he was waving.
We were in a big open section of Yoyogi park but for some reason the tour group was walking in single file really close to us. Really close to us, almost bumping into our knees. We joked that they were trying to vibe us on some national rivalry.
So I told my friend I was going to run up to their assembled tour group and yell "STEVE JOBS MOTHERFUCKER" and then run away.
And then I laughed really hard.
Because in my mind Steve Jobs is the president of google and, China, and you know. But Steve Jobs isn't the president of google and my friend didn't understand what I was laughing about.

Later I died and they dug up my mind and put it on a pedestal in a museum. At night after all the museum visitors had left my mind got down from the pedestal and started humping one of the automatic robots that waxes the museum floors.
