Alphabet Meme
Comment and I'll give you a letter, then you have to list ten people/places/things you love that begin with that letter, afterward post it on your journal and fill out letters of your own.
d_morris has challenged me with the letter J!
10- Jeans
So this one is dumb but true. For me jeans are the most comfortable bit of leg clothing out there. Skirts, dresses & shorts are ok, while leggings and tights= FAIL. Give me a good pair of jeans any day, and then I can go just about anywhere.
9- Joe Ledbetter's concept art/ toy design
www.joeledbetter.com/
Although I don't have any of his figures yet, I really like the designs he comes up with. The blend of 2D planes with 3D figures is really nice, and his colors are always bright.
8- Junk In Stores
Again this one is silly, but I love stores that have too much crap in them. It is like the embodiment of the "one man's trash is another man's treasure" thing. Sometimes you can find some tiny random thing in a store with way too much junk. The same goes for restaurants with junk in them. Now, I don't mean places like TIG fridays that have fake stuff all over, I mean local restaurants that look like they have just collected a lot of things for as long as they have been open.
7- Justice League / Justice League Unlimited (the animated series)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice_League_Unlimited
So take Super Heros, give them a club house, and a bunch of epic villains, and add a HEALTHY dash of personal drama/ soap opera-ness. That is the wonderful blend that makes up this cartoon. How could you not love that? Plus they dust off some really cool heros and villains that were not really mainstream.
6- Julian Smith
www.youtube.com/user/juliansmith87
I have just recently become acquainted with this dude's work but I find him hilarious. :D Julian Smith was an out of work actor when he started just posting random videos on Youtube. They are quite funny, and people liked them. The link above is to his video "Malk" which is realllllyyyyyy worth watching. It makes me laugh every time. Another good one is "Hot Kool-Aid." Most of the vids on his channel are worth watching as well ^.^
5- Jonathan Goldstein
www.cbc.ca/wiretap/
Jonathan Goldstein has a podcast called "Wiretap", and if you like dry humor and interesting life subjects, then it is the podcast for you. ^.^ The show is basically about Jonathan in ever day adventures, like having his chair disappearing, and his friends calling and talking/ridiculing him. Two of my favorite episodes are "26 minutes, 30 seconds" (where time in terms of life is the subject, and an awesome person that does "revenge raps" is interviewed) and "We are not supermen" (which us a short story concerning the ideas of superheros, their alter egos, and the humans that deal with them.) If those sound cool to you, check em out, the podcast is free!
4- Jars

Ok this one is another silly one, but really look a that! *points to the link* Go look. I will wait.
See! Isn't that a pretty jar?!? I mean ok, I guess this falls under my love of good design but I actually like collecting cool jars and bottles. So it still counts!
3- Jumping off swings
If you never did this as a kid, in my book you are missing out. Honestly, if I am on a swing now I will STILL do this. That moment right after you jump and right before you start to fall feels amazing. :P
2- "Jeremiah, Stop Taking Bukowski So Seriously"
This is a title of a song by a band called Peachcake & Less Pain Forever. I like their music, but the names they gave the songs on their " Now We Have Something to Celebrate" album are just epic. I can't find this particular song online, but here is a sample of their music.
