I’m not talking about the kind of perfume where you are like “Mmmm yum that smells pleasant!” I’m talking about the kind of perfume that not only engulfs your nose but goes down you’re fucking throat! It begins choking you to death with its Nuclear strong eroma.

I can’t figure out a reason why plus sized women wear such strong smelling perfume but for goodness sakes, please stop! I get headaches, my throat hurts and my nose burns from it. OK, so it doesn’t smell like sweaty armpits or fungi feet, but I’m almost prefer those local scents. If you’re looking for a way to piss me off, douse yourself with extreme perfume.

The question goes out to my plus sized women or maybe a man who has dated a plus sized woman: Why do you/they wear such intensely smelling perfume?

Men and non-heavy wearing perfume women lets unite and put an end to this societal problem with your help WE can make a difference!

Where have I been? Fucking A where’ve you been!??! A lot has transpired since the last time I blogged. Lets start off with the biggest and best thing to have happened to me. I am now the proud owner of an Apple Macbook. How did I get it? Well I got some Apple Giftcards which helped and the “handshaking” didn’t hurt either. I feel so trendy and cool now with my Macbook. I feel like I need to get a Prius and start using and consuming all natural organic products. You know what I just found out about microwave popcorn? Well I’ll tell you! The butter that is used in the microwave popcorn causes lung cancer. Workers and consumers that have been around it or consumed it for many years have developed lung cancer from it! Crazy huh?! This little story goes hand and hand with my wanting to consume and use all natural products! Next time you buy microwave popcorn make sure its some all natural hippy name brand!

For Christmas I went up to the Bay Area and celebrated Christmas with my girlfriend and her family. We visited a few towns up there and my favorite this time had to be Los Gatos, CA. The trees, the shops, the people. I absolutely love it up there. Plus I saw like 30,000 Toyota Prius’. Everyone up there is so youthful and full of organic products.

Enjoy the bad sweater photos :)

Here’s a sample of some of the said comments

“Hell yeah! Pass me that keystone baby… and some of that buddha too! (wink wink) If you catch my drift. You know buddha was a man of HiGh MoRaLs!!~!~!! :p

-the REAL Greg O’Connell”

“hell yeah! in the name of boobs, sure! Ive been reading your blog, and its hilarious! ESPECIALLY your replies to those commenters!”

It seems the “plastic gregg o’connell” likes to say “hell yeah” which are two words I wouldn’t be caught dead saying unless of course I WERE THE FAKE GREG OCONNELL!!!

Here’s some facts we know about the fake “greg oconnell”

their internet service provider is “Charter Communications” and they live in or nearby Athens, GA. Their IP address gives me this information. I live in San Diego, CA and my internet service provider is Time Warner aka Road Runner.

I’d love to call up Robert Stack (if he weren’t dead) from Unsolved Mysterious or even John Walsh from America’s Most Wanted to solve the mystery of the fake greg oconnell. Since both of those men won’t answer my phone calls for obvious reasons I will therefore beg for you my audience to help me out or even the fake greg oconnell. If he or she will give us a clue or two of who they are really are. Also why do you feel the need to be me besides the fact of how awesomely unordinary I am.

THE REAL MUTHAFUCKIN’ GREGG O’CONNELL!

I had this weird dream last night about Yoshi. If you forget who Yoshi is, he is my 1 year old Mini-Schnauzer dog. In the dream I was in some house that wasn’t mine in real life but was in the dream. Anyways, Emily (my gf) & I were washing dishes in the sink (haha this is definitely a dream cause I NEVER do the wishes) and looking out the window when something caught our attention. What do we see but my little schnauzer man Yoshi on top of the neighbors roof walking around it. Now I realize that dogs can’t climb on top of houses, but Yoshi can in my dreams. I was scared for his little life. I was freaking out that he would fall off the roof and die. I ended running outside after a couple of times of seeing him on the roof then jumping down somewhere that I couldn’t see. I saw him on the roof once last time and ran outside so that he could jump in my arms. He jumps down alright but lands right next to me safe and sound. I was so worried. I thought he was a goner for sure! Thank goodness dreams aren’t real and that dogs can’t climb things.

Damn you Mr.Sandman for frightening me so much!

An Apple Giftcard. Sure I asked for the same thing last year but when it came time to using them instead of trying and getting a Macbook I ended up buying an iPod Touch. This time without any shadows or doubts I AM I AM I AM getting an Apple Macbook.

If you’re getting me an Christmas present which if you are reading this then you most likely are then you can get me an Apple Giftcard of any denomination. Like those infomercials for starving kids say “Every little bit helps”.

Apple Giftcard

Eating fresh out of the oven white turkey meat with gravy all over it. The gravy that is made with the giblets is freaking nasty! Giblets are nasty! EWWW OHHH EWWWW!

Homemade mashed potatoes with butter and gravy drenched all over them. Mmmmm I really need a chef once I become famous so that I can have homemade food all year round instead of going to Mimi’s for it!

Canned Jellied Cranberry Sauce. This is one of the most underrated side dishes on the table for Thanksgiving. It’s one of my personal favorites. I could eat a whole can of cranberry with turkey and stuffing all day.

Now onto my favorite favorite side dish of all-time. I could literally eat this everyday with anything: Stuffing! Stuffing is so delicious it makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Stuffing is good in sandwiches, as a side dish or just as a main course!

Happy Fuckin’ Thanksgiving, You Turkey Necks!

When I first knew I was moving out it seemed like I had so much time to go before I was out. Then out of nowhere I had to leave my home of 3 years and go to a new unknown paradise. OK enough of the sappy shit and onto the good gooey shit!

My new place is kind of cool, and kind of strict! Lets start off with the bad stuff and end on a high note. This place has more rules than an elementary school. You can’t put certain things on your deck like we pt up this bamboo wall and the next day we had a letter on our door informing us we need to take it down. These are the kind of rules where you want to just keep fucking with them to make their life a living hell. Fuck authority! haha I’m crazy!!! There’s not really any extra parking. We get 2 parking spots but we have 3 cars. Street parking sucks more than a 16 year old girl!

The good? There isn’t any..ha ha OK I kid I kid! The best thing….I have a freaking heat lamp on the ceiling of my bathroom to keep my little white body warm when I get out of the shower or when my bum gets all wet from pooping in the toilet. I have air conditioning, washer and dryer, dish washer & a much bigger place!

Whens the party? Soon! Do you want to come?

Where I work the air is so thick with smoke that is hard to breathe. I had a headache, dry eyes and throat and couldn’t breathe very well all day yesterday. In the building it smelled like old cigarettes. You know when someones been smoking in a room and leaves their cigarette butts in there then closes the door?

Watch these 5 TV shows this fall like I do and you’ll be 5 steps closer to bringing your inner Gregg O’Connell out.

1. The Office: easily the funniest TV show on period. Fuck Yeah I spelt period and then dotted with period cause that’s how freaking serious I am about this show being the funniest.period.!

2. Kimora Lee Simmons - Life in the Fab Lane: The one and only reason to watch this show is because she’s a sexy, ruthless, it’s my way or the highway kind of girl! She’s taller than giraffe and sexier than a sheep!

3. Dexter: This dude is amazing! He’s a serial killer who kills serial killers. He’s funny and it’s all blood and guts! I love seeing blood especially on TV because it brings me closer to feeling more comfortable to go see the doctor and get blood drawn.

4. Tell Me You Love Me: Young people sex, middle aged people sex, wicked old gray pubic hair people sex & oh ya relationship problems This show is very engaging even if you haven’t ever had a relationship problem with anyone in your life like me. The best part of the show is the young woman who wants to have a kid but can’t….She’s as sexy if not more than Kimora Lee Simmons! Whoa!

5. Californiacation: I wasn’t a huge David Duchovny until I began watching this show. All he does is have sex with girls, act like a complete rebel & waste his artist ability away. Sounds like me!

In 2004 I moved from Blackstone, MA to San Diego, CA - Point Loma to be exact. I’ve lived in the same place for the entire almost 3 years that I’ve been here. Come October 27 I will be moving out of this faithful humble home and into a luxurious 2 bed/2 bathroom A/C, Washer/Dryer, Dishwasher apartment in the plasticville world of Mission Valley. Mission Valley is still in San Diego so don’t worry I’m not leaving San Diego yet!

I decided to move because Emily had been wanting to move for some time now and also because my friends Cathy and Zdenek just moved out to California and wanted some roommates. Who are better roommates than me and Emily. In a way I’m kind of sad to leave Point Loma and this little apartment I currently reside in. I’ve had lots of good times here like when I brought Yoshi home for the first time, I had sex for the first time here & I wrote a lot of really awesome songs. Moving out of a place is kind of like breaking up with a girl. It’s sad but kind of exciting. You’re going to miss it. but you’re also excited about seeing some new stuff. If you know what I mean…do you?

If you need/want my new address email me and if not than keep on dreaming about my pretty backside.

In what was being planned for several months in advance, Q of D and greggoconnell.com were to meet face to face, eye to eye, crotch to crotch for the first time ever in “real life”. Q of D was planning to head down to my stomping ground of San Diego to enjoy a fun filled weekend with her girlfriends. They were to indulge in many different kinds of alcohol, sweets, salty snacks & the freshest seafood around. EricaPutis.com & I were to meet up with Q of D in Mission Beach on Saturday night where she was staying at her $5,000/night suite.

I texted Q of D early on Saturday Night that we would be meeting her at her suite at around 5 or 6 pm. She responded with much hair spray queeness “Rock on, see you soon!”. Great I thought, this is going to work out well and should be fun. Hell I was thinking to myself maybe I’ll even get some scandalous photos of her doing something crazy that I can hold for ransom that way I can get that new Apple laptop I’ve been longing for. As 6pm rolled around Erica called me and said she was running a little late. I then sent another text to Q of D telling her that we would now be there around 7 ish. She again responded in all her 1980’s hair metal madness “Rock on, hurry up!” Her tone in this second text seemed a bit more aggressive and dare I say “drunk”.

Erica & I had a little trouble finding her suite so I had to call her a couple of times. During one of the call for directions she asks “Is Erica OK with me being completely drunk…” I was like “Yeah she loves drunk 30 somethings….so no worries”. We finally found her place. Now remember I literally called her the last time maybe 5 or 10 minutes before we actually got there and she was pretty coherent and not too slutty sounding. We arrived at her suite and she wasn’t outside like she previously said she was so I called 5 TIMES!!! Left a voice mail and nothing. After waiting for seemed like a day or two she finally calls me or so I think. All excited and ready to party like any non-alcoholic drinking male I respond with much excitement “HI, STEPH (her real name)!!!”. The voice that responded shortly after was like “Uhhh this is her cousin Jennifer and Steph is kind’ve not able to come to the phone…SHE’S PASSED OUT DRUNK!”. My heart sank and my dreams of scandalous photos and a new Apple laptop sank into my stomach as I’d just eaten an onion from Mexico that’s contaminated with one of the field workers poops.

I woke this morning and received this email from Q of D

“Hey guys,

I am so sorry about last night. When 5PM passed and we hadn’t seen you, we kind of figured that you might not come and we kind of cut loose, so the condo owner (who lives behind the unit we were renting) started bringing out bottles and bottles of wine. Do I need to tell you what happened?

In short, by the third (or was it the fourth?) phone call I was actually asleep in bed. Ok I was passed out. I didn’t even know my own name. I am sooooooo sorry.”

Q of D you owe me…a hug, a handwritten apology letter, a scandalous photo, a hamburger, a hot dog & a date in the future. I’m hurt, visibly shaken and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to trust anyone else again, especially a blogger in her 30’s.

Sleepless in San Diego,
Gregg
