Hello LJ,
Can't say I've missed you terribly, but here's what's new for the 2k666:

I'm building my .com to be ready sometime in the spring and I just got these:

So now you can't see me when I'm not listening to you.

Winter is coming. No wonder i'm getting sick of rock music.

Here's a few joints from my visit back to the desert from which I came. These aren't flicks of deserts and coyotes n shit, but you get the idea.

B: Did you know that when Oscar Wilde died, he exploded?

J: He exploded because he was gay.

B: Semen.

So it's sometime late night/early morning and I'm asleep with Sasha when some drunk girl comes stumbling into her room, unaware. In another place and time this would have been a dream come true, but when I have to be up for school at 8:00 AM?!?! Totally uncalled for.

So we're all familiar with the concept that you learn something new every day, well here's what I learned this past week. Last Saturday, I was at The Concorde (Buckhead Home #2) up to my usual no-goodery, when the amount of beer I consumed was turning my tummy. I decide to smoke a cigarette but that makes me feel worse, so I lay down trying to clear my head and get back to reality. As I lay down with visions of sugar plums dancing in my head, the Black Eyed Peas video Don't Phunk With my Heart comes on. Not a minute into that song and I am leaping into the bathroom to puke my brains out! I vomited for the length of that sick joke of a song and upon exiting the Little Gruftis room, I felt better. I am not Catholic and have never been to confessional, but having to puke because I listened to the Black Eyed Peas kind of feels like redemption for my sins. The lesson learned is PBR and Bubble Gum Rap does not mix well. Although, in other music news I purchased the new Gorillaz album Demon Days. I was a fan of the first album because it was produced by Dan the Automator so when I caught news of a new one, I was already excited before even hearing the iPod commercial. After learning that The Automator had no hand in this album, I was a little disappointed but pleasantly surprised after hearing the album this week. The majority of the production work was done by Danger Mouse and Damon Albarn(singer for Blur). I'll save the full review for IRL discussion, but this album has brilliant contributions from: MF Doom, De La Soul, Roots Manuva, Marina Topley-Bird, some children's choir and it even has a song with Dennis Hopper reading a story! WTF!?!
So yeah, if you're gonna buy any new music this weekend, I recommend you purchase Demon Days from Gorillaz because it's good summertime drinkin tunes. Do not purchase Monkey Business from Black Eyed Peas. That shit will phunk with your tummy and make you toss cookies. Bad rap, don't do it.

So here's the early summer edition of what's new with this pussycat, you call Justin. I just finished my Spring Quarter at school and have less than a year to go. I start my Summer quarter in early July which is teh sux0rs because every other student but me gets a summer break. Oh well, I guess the soul-stealing world of visual communication waits for no one. I still have my internship with The Wow Factory in addition to school. The past weeks i've been a Production Assistant for some corporate blahblahblah happening at the Omni Center this weekend. For those who haven't heard, I quit the tattoo shop in May. It was too demanding of an occupation for me to devote my life to at this point in time. I learned a great deal from it, and will probably start scratching up kids again, after school is finished. So for those keeping score that's minus 10 scenester points for justin visible. heh.
Also this weekend I'm going to Columbus, Ohio with Salsa to meet her family and friends and attend Communist Fest. I swear, I'm so bad at first impressions, I'm gonna have to make cue cards to read from when I meet someone new.

"Greetings and salutations. My name is Justin. I enjoy reading, writing, and arithmitic. My favorite food is apple pie and I love everything including sunshine! It's been a pleasure meeting you and I hope we can be best friends until the end of time! I love you!

Hmmm, it feels like I had so much more to talk about, but I suppose it'll have to wait.

There's clothes to wash. Clothes to pack. Teeth to brush and hair to comb. There's bills to pay and things to remember, but right now all I want is to drink whisky and kill zombies, Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn style.
