OlderJennifer & John’s Exit Strategy
Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer attempt a stealthy exit form the Beverly Hills Hotel by driving out the entrance driveway on Saturday.
Later in the evening, Mayer had a few thoughts and scribbled them down on his blog:
“Go back into the annals of beloved ’80s films, and you’d be hard pressed to find a movie closer to the hearts of thirty-somethings than The Goonies. I’ll spare you the synopsis, as you most likely already know it, but if you don’t, no need to worry - you’ve seen 20 other movies like it in its time. The template: nerdy but affable underdog(s) suffer unrelenting ridicule by jocks in varsity letter jackets but ultimately have their comeuppance, usually stealing a smoking hot girlfriend or two in the process.
In the case of The Goonies, a band of awkward, socially outcast kids set off to find a buried treasure, narrowly averting almost certain death and outrunning, among others, a popular high school jock named Troy. Troy is one of the classic cinematic archetypes of the 1980s; the jock. He’s good looking, rocks a period-relative badass Mustang convertible, and he’s a total prick. All we can do from the moment Troy enters the frame is to wait with baited breath to see Troy lose and the Goonies win.
And in that end, back in 1985 when the underdogs had their day, (and their bag of jewels), and the final credits rolled and we called our parents for a ride home, we realized something fantastic: It’s true, we weren’t Troy. But for the first time, thanks to The Goonies, we no longer wanted to be Troy. It was okay to be us, thank you very much.
Cut to present day.
What happened to the better part of a generation that once walked out of their local theater rooting for the Mikeys and Chunks and Datas of the world? They’ve turned into Troys. Troys who can’t accept the differences in others and condemn the things they don’t understand. Finger-pointing, s—-talking Troys.
Ask yourself: with whom do you identify more these days, Troy or the Goonies? And if you’re reading this and you happen to be an Internet s—-talker, could it be because you think I’m Troy? Because honest to God, I’ve always fancied myself a Goonie; the underdog who toppled over the narrow-minded naysayers and walked away with a treasure.
So maybe this whole thing is one big misunderstanding and it turns out we don’t need to go down as a generation remembered as having spent the ’00s wearing our asses like hats after all. Maybe it will turn out that we needed a little time to figure out that in the end we’re all just a bunch of Goonies.”

Oh there they are mother and son.She’s so looking for a sperm donor.SAD
Dating and relationship expert Matt Titus sees this kind of behavior as an ego trip.
“I think John likes to conquer the current ‘It girl,’” he said. “I think he has a very egotistical freak in him that’s masked by that pretty-boy artist-who-doesn’t-care vibe. He aims for the ‘It girl’ to make him the big guy in Hollywood, the guy on all the magazine covers alongside Jennifer Aniston. Mission accomplished.”
Us Weekly dubbed the 30-year-old singer its 2007 Cad of the Year, even before the Lothario penned and published a harsh note to an ex on his blog in March, prompting speculation that it was addressed to former girlfriend Simpson.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That says alot about your glory boy.
Pure Karma.
Moody, you are so in denial. Feel really sorry for you. Must be really bad for Jen. You have so dreams and hopes. Jessica Simpson had those same dreams. John sure didn’t care about them either.
moody @ 06/01/2008 at 12:00 pm Very smart commentary. I would not expect that most of the posters on this site would even understand what he is trying to say. Way to low IQ’s here. However he makes a lot of sense. He is a very deep person. Good for him. I don’t think that I have ever heard him say anything rude about anyone else.
—–
Yeah he is very deep and not rude, that’s why he bragged about peeing on his lady several times on his own blog. Not to mention how he dump them like dirty old socks after he finished using them as sexual objects.
Yeah, that’s really deep and sensitive of him, telling the whole world how disrespectfull and cunty he like to behave with women he has dated !
What the heck is he TALKING about????? He is always be…John is soooo into John and Jennifer????? She is trying hard to be into John. Oh, boy so pathetic!
#74 moody: we just want him with aniston,he can get deep with her.we are so happy for jen and john.This is the greatest relationship.Just pure Karma.I love them together i wish them Everything John has to offer Her.And i truly mean it.
All John fans have to do is sit back and relax with a big smile on our face. No worries no stress mate. The only ones worried are the Jen fans. John has to hit some stuff sometimes and she seem to open up quicker than any body let her tell it. We don’t care where he gets it from.
I understand you have good reasons to be worried. After all of this John will thank the fans for sticking by him after the big break up. It’s all good.
Please you people don’t rain on Jennifer Anistons parade leave that up to John.
I hope they procreate because I have never seen two people more evenly matched. The world revolves around them somehow. Their privacy is always the first priority yet they do the dirty in hotels where paps live. GTFOH! Jennifer has a multi-million dollar estate in the area. Why not there? I cannot stand either one. Fans of this chick swear she is “moving on…”. If that was the case there would be no need to mention it as it is already understood. You tell on yourself because as much as you hate Angelina you know deep down she is competing with her. There is no other reason for her to pop up only @ opportune times. And you know damn well John just wants to squash those rumors. See how the timing works?
WOW #76…Please let him be donor.Perfect match.its karma.
I think that he cannot understand why everyone is comparing him to Brad ” Troy” good looking guy. No one can understand why Jennifer is with him after being with and incredible man like Brad. he is feeling insecure and ugly. He is saying ,I may not be good looking and fine,but I got the treasure that Troy/Brad did not want .He is really calling Jennifer the un- wanted treasure..woo, her treasure is so un-flattering that only an un-flatttering guy like himself wants it. Un un un, isn’t he special. Her insecurities are rubbing off on him. She was to insecure to be with Brad and he is too Insecure to fill brads shoes. They deserve each other.
we all know what kind of man John is.But Jennifer deserves this kind of man.I’m so so Happy they are together.Just her type.
I guess moody has not heard his stand up act, where he put women down. Go listen to that before you make those kind of statements because you are showing you really don’t know him at all.
87 I just want to see John in his green Bathing suit.Oh honey don’t flatter your self no one is comparing him to Brad Pitt we are saying jennifer aniston is Johns match.Jennifer aniston was never Brads match,Brad Pitt is with his match.Nothing to do with Jen and John.

He was on tour with some real Musicians and Icons and could not hang. he was In good company,on tour with Herbie Hancock and Roy Hargrove and others and totally bombed. He stacked up against them and was the weakest link on that tour. He SUCKED. NO ONE COULD FIGURE OUT WHY HE WAS PLAYING WITH THEM. HE IS NOT A GREAT GUITARIST,HE IS VERY MEDIOCRE ON GUITAR.

Don’t forget that he said to the media, and Minka Kelly, his ex has now come out confirming that too : the guy longed for Jolie night and day !
He and Jen are both losers going together while dreaming about the brangelina half they would have dated instead if they had the opportunity !
Maybe thay are both dating each other in a sisk reminescence of a little bit of the Brangelina touch by proxy.
Losers to the fault ! Double douche taken to its sickening paroxysm !

^^^I remember that you are right.
Bottom line is,
Jen still wants to get her popularity back, that’s why she date john M, which is still young & popular to keep her in our radar.
John M wants to date jen A because he wants a piece of Brad’s left over to proof that he can upgrade himself to be an A-list superstar. by dating brad’s ex, at least he want’s a bit of brad’s superstardom. we just count the day till they break up.
There was no news on the Brangelina front so no bikini pix. Now that Angelina is on the cover of VanityFair looking GORGEOUS!! Surprise!! Surprise!! Johniffer back on the scene. God this old bish is sooooooooooooooo transparent!!
No one can understand why Jennifer is with him after being with and incredible man like Brad. he is feeling insecure and ugly. He is saying ,I may not be good looking and fine,but I got the treasure that Troy/Brad did not want .
^well I’m glad jon understand he is not all that. Try telling that to all the Jennifer Aniston fans that are trying size him up to Brad Pitt ( I believe a jen fan mention his package size) I said it before Jen and her people are going to ruin this relationship. Their desperation is showing on them so bad. You think jon wants all that pressure on his back all the time.
i don’t get the rant….couldn’t he just have written the cliche? much more succinct and prob all monosyllabic words! so…is he thinking about tjis cause brad is troy and the publicity is bringing to mind the cruel way jen was treated as “brangelina’s” status became more and more clear? hope he is…if this is random philosophizing, he’s intellectually 12 years old,
