How did I turn out to be such a dog freak???

When I was growing up, (much to my sisters dismay) I used to torture our miniature poodle, fluffy. Oh fluffy...why was I so cruel to you? Here's an example...Anytime I was doing laundry I would throw a towel over her head and whole body. She didn't know how to get it off so I would just laugh and laugh as she would try to find her way around the house. She walked just like a Bantha rode by the Tusken Raiders in Star Wars. Maybe that's why I liked that particular towel trick so much.


These days, I prefer hanging out with dogs to humans. I don't know when the change of heart came...but here are a few pics to illustrate my point.


We go to the doggie beach 2-3 times a month. Ringo would be posing for the photo, but he's too busy checking out the other pups.


Anytime we go for a ride Ringo stretches out across the whole back seat, so poor Francie has to sleep sitting up :(


Does anyone else wrestle with their dog...on the floor?


Annie gets jealous when Ringo gets more action than her.



I call Francie my little sissy. Me thinks daddy has coddled her a little too much since we got her.



Ringo and Francie = BFF




Side note - I do throw a towel over Ringo from time to time. How can I resist?...I always wanted a Bantha for a pet!

My proudest moments

Many of you know that when I did "The Luke Johnson phone experiment", my proudest moment came when I got my own wikipedia page. You have to understand...I was a wikipedia N-E-R-D at my last job. Come on, I sat in front of a computer all day and since it was a huge corporation they blocked YouTube and many other fun sites to surf when you're bored. My only two friends were wikipedia and imdb.

A lesser known proud moment came when I got my very own cartoon. Yes, I'm completely being mocked for the phone experiment...but why should I care??? After all, I GOT MY OWN CARTOON!!! I immediately contacted the creator and told him I was a fan. I think he was caught off guard a little...I suspect he thought I would take offense because he repeatedly reassured me that it was all in good fun and that he didn't mean any harm. The way I see it, if I can't laugh at myself...well...I guess it's just not an option because I poke fun at myself all the time. Don't worry...I never hurt my own feelings :)

Here is my first cartoon ladies and germs...let's hope it's not the last. That being said, this cartoon deserves a warning label.

So here it is...

WARNING - THIS CARTOON OF LUKE JOHNSON CONTAINS VERY STRONG LANGUAGE. DO NOT WATCH IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED (MOM)

if i ever shoot a music video...

it will be patterned after this


I had bands approach me in film school about shooting their music videos, but I never felt a connection to the music and thus turned them down.

However...the economy is in a slump right now, and we all got to eat, right?

First band that approaches me is getting a shot for shot re-make of this beauty.

If the budget will permit, I'll even cast Andy Samberg in the Tommy Seebach role...don't you see it?

New Orbit ad

I did some freelance work at a casting agency about a month ago. We auditioned the "spritzer girl" for the new orbit gum commercial. I was pretty stoked because the casting director picked my favorite girl from the call backs. Here's the national commercial which is now airing.

My favorite person in the whole world

Why dudes blog...an introduction

Almost everyone I know who blogs is a woman. So why do dudes blog, you ask? Maybe they're trying to get in touch with their feminine side. Maybe they feel they have something to share with the world. Maybe they heard Diablo Cody made a career out of it and thought they could too. (WARNING- YOU MUST ALSO BECOME A STRIPPER TO DO IT THIS WAY)

So why did I start a blog? Call it a creative outlet. Call it a way to waste time when I should be working on a script. Call it a way to spew out all of the ideas that are swirling through my brain on a minute by minute basis. But let's be honest here...for what great cause did I decide to start a blog? What do I possibly have to offer the blog reading world out there?

I saw Pee-wee Herman in the mall the other day, and had to tell someone.
