Ahhh finally have another wacky Wednesday out of the way which means we are one day closer to kicking off the weekend, sadly it will be without any football. At least there is a Strikeforce MMA event in Miami that should hold me over until the following week when we are treated to UFC 109 and of course Superbowl XLIV between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints.
Anyway, a few people have written in via email and few of my daily readers have left comments asking to know a little bit more about who this Extreme John guy is, I would imagine that it was my “What Should My 1000th Post Be” article that triggered the requests. I figured that my daily rants here on my blog as well as the bio information at the end of this post would be a pretty good representation of who I am or what I am like, then I figured why not just write a post with a few things that you probably don’t know about me.
11 Things You Don’t Know About Extreme John
1. I hate my eyes. The main reason I wear sunglasses as often as possible.
2. I’ve watched more episodes of King of Queens then any other show, and I have seen every episode at least three times.
3. My Favorite place to eat is The Palms, a place that my boy Mike Barbaro introduced me to.
4. Pro Bloggers and other web gurus brag about making 6 or 7 figures online, I’ve made 8 and never said a word until now. Why? Because it doesn’t matter.
5. I love to play craps, a game that my boy Joey “The Man” got me hooked on like 10 years ago. The chips below were from a Carnival Cruise we went on.
6. I have had multiple websites that did over 500k unique visitors daily and at one point controlled more traffic in our network then the entire Shell Gas Station network.
7. The decision for the tattoo that reads “Extreme” on the back of my arm was made while Extreme Tan and Smoothies was sponsoring a bikini contest at Shepards on Clearwater Beach in Florida.
8. I HATE HATE HATE Condiments, especially the good ones like mustard and sour cream. I recently bit in to a soft taco with sour cream and puked within 30 seconds.
9. Jägermeister is my shot of choice. (O.k some of you already know that)
10. I’ve had multiple websites that did over 500k unique visitors daily and at one point controlled more traffic in our network then the entire Shell Gas Station network. I wouldn’t mind that same 500k visitors here btw, so do me a favor and subscribe to my rss feed…. please 
11. I HATE when panties are referred to as “underwear” or “undergarments”. Underwear hardly makes me imagine a pair of sexy thongs and the word undergarments just makes me picture giant briefs. The word “panties” is just so much sexier. Limo pictured by Insane Limos.
I still have no idea what my 1000th post will be about or if this answers any of the questions that some of you sent in via email or left in the comments here, but that’s what rolled off the top of my head.
Connect with me via my Facebook Fan Page or on twitter at @extremejohn, and as always thank you for being nice enough to leave a comment I appreciate the questions and feedback.

Jager on the Rocks, YUM.

Interesting. Thats the first thing that caught my attention was the fact that yuu payed attention to your readers. Love the Limos and the Ufc blogs. It’s wierd but I thought you were just a normal guy, 8 figures!!! well I guess money didn’t take away from your commitment to your blogs and readers , I knew telling the boys about you and the MMA punk was a good idea. Well keep on keeping on. …… I’ll keep reading!!!

@Geoff “loco”motive Byers, hey Geoff thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I am usually much faster on the response but with the limousine business and tanning business getting in to season time has been a little more crunched lately.
I enjoy interacting with all of you that take the time to read the blog, I never in a million years thought people would actually read anything I wrote here. The least I can do is interact and show my appreciation.

John has been a great help getting me established as a newbie blogger.
I never met John in person but he strikes me as the type of generous, genuine, fun loving guy you’d be fortunate enough to meet one day at a table in Vegas, winning big, who buys the whole casino a round and tips the dealer a G note!
You’ve got the flash John and from what I can tell – you ain’t no flash in the pan!
Good to know you brother!

Awesome! A former co-worker used to make fun of me because I would order a sandwich like salami on rye, lettuce & tomato only, then he would add, nothing touching. He thought I was a nut because I didn’t want mustard or anything else. Thank you for making me feel less like a freak.
My mom was used to the girls that one day she told my son [2 or 3 at the time] to pull up his panties. It took us a few weeks to get him to stop.
Thanks for sharing now I feel a little more bonded, in a normal unfreakish sort of way.

Why on earth do you hate your eyes? I’ve never before heard ANYONE say they hate their own eyes. What does it mean? Another layer of the onion to be peeled and examined.
Panties? Oh GOD how I hate the word panties! Makes me think of a little girl. Oh, where are my panties? Might as well call them undies for Christ’s sake! I do agree that underwear is a bit of a turn off. Time for a new word.

I hate my eyes. Surgery can’t fix those. Try Freshlook Colorblends. I wear brown.
the word undergarments just makes me picture giant briefs ROFLMAO

Interesting though, now I get to picture Doug and Extreme John to be in an alliance ’cause they both like the show. Wonder if they anywhere alike in characters? hmm..
Pretty much said it all. To me you’re a successful, outspoken guy that’s one of a kind.
