Bits of Shredded Paper: John's Blog

Sir Winston Ono Lennon's blog, in which you will find all manner of things that you can print out and hang on your wall or your tabloid centerfold.

Ever stayed up till midnight worrying?

Maybe more often when I was a wee babe agoogaing in a hotel room off somewhere.  Too old to worry about meself so much--i’ve been through worse things than arthritis and writer’s block--but state of the world’s got me thinking this and that now and again. But I’ve faith in our ability as people. Just keep fightin the good fight. I’ve got a bit of scream in my throat left yet.

John. where hjave yuou gone?!

Sleeping, mate. Just a lot of sleeping. 

[sirjwolennon]

Hey Mr Lennon how're you?

Could be better. 

That's a downward spiral for you

Everything could be better

[sirjwolennon]

Didn't you get photographed listening to a manhole cover once? maybe it's coming back to bite you in the ass for taking all the fame ;)

Look, mate, me and that manhole's got a great relationship. You obviously don't know what you're talking about.

[sirjwolennon]

reached a point in my life where I don't know what to say.

Never thought you'd see that, did ya

[sirjwolennon]

I'm fine

never believe the tabloids

don't bury me yet

i don't want to be a knock on the inside of a coffin door

that i don't belong behind

peace and love and call yer mum

[sirjwolennon]

are you feeling better?

Just tired, luv. I've got it in my head that things'll get better, you know, so that's what I'm clinging to at the moment. Sorry for all the silence, the year last didn't end quite the way I hoped it would and the year current isn't going as planned either.

But I'm sure you're all sick of hearin about album delays and long term sickness and all of that junk. Newspapers cover it all already, don't need me spoutin it out like pissing on my own lawn. Yoko's doing fine. Paul the cat (henceforth referred to as Paulcat) has wandered off somewhere but I assume he's doing fine too as he was doing fine last I saw him.

I'm not sleeping well as of late, having lots of weird dreams. Yoko dreams of stars, I dream of sewer pipes. I'm sure we'll share dreams again once I find a proper manhole cover.

Are you really that okay with fans writing stuff about you? I've seen several stories about fans throwing themselves into stories just to romance with you or one of the other boys. Well there are the occasional fans that actually write a story about you and the boys going on some magical or mystical adventure. As side from all the slash, what do you think about this stuff?

It only matters if you read it. Believe me, love, you think about it more than I do. I didn't say I was okay with it, i just don't bleedin care.

Happy Anniversary, Macca

You and your wifey been together a year without much big fuss. I can scarcely believe it. Probably the most important thing happening today, you bein with your wife for a year and all that. I am very proud of you.

You better give me a phone call today. You know. As it's your anniversary and all. I'd ring you up but I'm a wee bit sick so I've every right to be lazy.

I'll be waiting.

[sirjwolennon]

Happy 72nd Birthday! Hope you get better soon.

I'm going to try and convince Yoko to let me have cake. Maybe I'll have the orderlies sneak it up to me.

[sirjwolennon]

Feeling any better? And I mean as physically healthy as possible.

Well, I'm not dead.

[sirjwolennon]

Christ man, I just saw a yahoo rumor saying that you've got swine flu or something!

Just rampant pneumonia following a stroke. Don't listen to those rumours, they always say silly things.

[sirjwolennon]

Hey, what's your opinion on all this Beatles Fanfiction? I mean, they've got slash for heaven's sake, and its usually you and Paul. Its almost horrifying.

Heh, people have been writing stories about me and the boys for ages. You ever read the fucking tabloids? It doesn't matter to me. You just have to remember that it ain't real.

[sirjwolennon]

Looked at myself for 1st time in weeks in mirror. Look like death. Hairs all gray. Good mood gone.

[sirjwolennon]

Do you like Benedict Cumberbatch and/or Tom Hiddleston as much as Tumblr does?

Tumblr seems to like a lot of things.

[sirjwolennon]

My nan still has a pair of boxers she stole from you after you and her had a one-night stand in the Beatle days.

Sure they weren't Paul's? Wore briefs a lot in those days. Just saying.

[sirjwolennon]

Whatever happens, I think I speak on behalf of your ever-growing fandom that we all love you and are here for you every step of the way because you are fantastic and yeah xoxo

Appreciated, though if you lot could stop sending cookies and cakes to the hospital that would be great as becoming diabetic isn't one of my life goals. i've also about gained a metric tonne since I've been admitted, so unless you want me to look like meatloaf you'll just get back to sending cards.
