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.”

I’m so glad that Jen is in a proper love affair. She is so pretty and the world doesn’t end with Brad Pitt. Brad is a snob - he can’t appreciate the love of a good woman until he knows she is the woman that everybody wants to sleep with. If that makes him feel like a winner, he must be very insecure and vain inside. What woman can feel comfortable with a man like that? Only Angelina because she is just as ruthless as he is. They are a match made in heaven and I hope they stay together for ever. The Jolie-Pitt circus will be going on for years - just watch and laugh.

What proper love affair includes peeing? Based on Mayer’s blog he is long winded and boring. I hope he is big because having dinner conversation with him but be sickening.
I see Aniston has iced up her t*ts for showing under her shirt. (the pics are out there). I’m guessing next we will see bikini pictures within the next two weeks.
*includes peeing on your partner.

Thanks, that was an excellent post. So very accurate.
love them , love them love them. they are cool and funky and sexy and specialy Jen know what the style . I love herstyle even though i can not see what she wear , i am sure she is wearing somenting nice. love them love them .
Jen is the best , the sweetst woman in hollywood, the most successfufl woman in hollywood, the taletned woman., After all she got the one of the most talented and smart man in hollywood.
That seals it…..I officially adore him.
He called out every idiotic troll on the internet…..too bad they are too dense to realize it. But it’s the effort that counts…lmao…
It’s kind of sad really….sh*t talking on the internet is probably all the trolls have in their life, we should pity them.
You would think most people would identify with what JM wrote….I guess losers just wish they were Troys of the world.
Jens fans are really slow. I guess that what happens when the only thing your girl has done is lay around the pulling publicity stunt with a bi-sexual man
It’s is funny how he ran back in town to get in front of the paps carmera. John Mayer is losing his fans by the truck load.
The last laugh will be on Jen as it was on Jessica.
The funny thing is You/Me is he dates Troys. Aniston all her life has tried to be the perfect looking tan blond cheerleader who everyone loves. Rather than just being herself. A greek girl with wavy burnette hair with short legs.
Mayer talks no writes a good game but he certainly not living it.
You/Me says it best. It’s incredibly disheartening(and kinda funny) to see how many people don’t have the horsepower to understand Mayer’s point.
Back to high school English lit for those who don’t get it. Off you go now. You’ll thank us later.
The egotistical freak is a real sweetheart.
He is such a dork its not funny, They deserve each other , both losers , only she looks like his older aunt
funny - funny your interpretation. You claim Jennifer Aniston is just a geek underneath at all, but yet you insinuate she is one of John Mayer’s ‘Troys’? Fascinating contradiction.
I don’t think she has ever viewed herself as’ the perfect blond cheerleader’ and that sense of humility is likely what Mayer finds interesting.
Btw…they both actually look pretty good to me, but being in touch with that ‘inner geek’ is a lovely, lovely thing imho. :-)

As always you hater or fan of media Ho ,too slow to understand me. You only know how to hate someone.
You idol told you she hate you much than we the lovers. she hate like you kind of people who does not sleep , who is on gossip site 24/7 specialy you idiol thread hating someone you never met. Eventhough she feed the the gossip by participating in it.
I love jen . she is one of the classy woman in hollywood , another classy woman in hollywood i love is Hally berry. There are some classy hollywood woman that i love. They are the best.

I’m so glad that Jen is in a proper love affair.

You think getting peed on is a “proper love affair”?

How do you know she is egostical ? , we never see her talk for years and years years years . she is sielent in everything and living her life.
takeabreak @ 06/01/2008 at 5:35 pm funny - funny your interpretation. You claim Jennifer Aniston is just a geek underneath at all, but yet you insinuate she is one of John Mayer’s ‘Troys’? Fascinating contradiction.
Aniston thinks and lives her life as a Troy. She does everything not to be a goonie . Stop putting Rachel Greens triats onto Aniston.
BTW didn’t Mayer write the Daughter’s song? Isn’t Aniston’s relationship with her mother a great example of that song?
This fool talks way too much! Does anyone really read his long winded diatribes?
Those people are sick and hypocrits.
John Mayer really ended bad hooking up the Hollywood greatest fraud. For many days now, she had sold pics of her ass, kissing and caressing pics of the both of them, and now they are shy about a car exit??? Give me a break, Chinnifer Maniston had always been a joke, she will never ever change.
i actually enjoy mr. mayer’s blog(s). however, they are more interesting when he keeps it about the music and the touring and techno gadgets. not so interesting when he’s trying to give cryptic messages about his latest faux-mances.
sure wish he’s find a nice mail-order bride and just settle down.
I’ve seen brad’s thingy it is small sandrarose.com posted a pic of it awhile back. Anywho john and jennifer were in hawaii together recently.
He was in Hawaii alone, honey. Jennypoo was nowhere in the vicinity.
Why do they give off the “Please look at me, but I don’t want to be seen” vibe?
You know what’s so sad you can tell its the same person posting over and over using different names if you don’t like jennifer fu*k off! Let the woman be in peace what is it your business who she fu*ks? Do you pay her bills? She’s a grown as* woman! I do feel kinda sorry for you people its quite obvious you have no life and this is your only form of entertainment.
