Do you know where your Jus is at?
Right here, after a long long time away.
So a quick recap:
That chick I was falling for turned out to be batshit insane. Ended.
Met another girl not too long after, mused over her for about a week. She seemed to lack interest. Ended.
Started dating again, had fun.
After a few weeks of dating, met Brandee. Asked her to be my girlfriend the next night. That was back in May, and I'm happy to say that as of December 9th, we'll be together seven months. Seven amazing months. I never thought I could pull it off. She's absolutely amazing. Everything about her. I love her so much.
K, well I need to stop gushing, I'll speak of her alot as soon as I get everything else out of the way.
So, I never did go on that Cobalt camping trip, financials were a problem. That also set off a chain of events where it seemed like the rest of the campers looked down on me for it. True or not, twas the vibe I got. So I alienated myself from all things Cobalt and Calcium. It worked well, for the most part.
Work has been...well let's just pray I can keep my job.
Outside of that, I haven't been doing much. Trying to figure out what I want to do with my life from a professional viewpoint. I've mulled over becoming an entomologist (I'm fascinated by insects) as well as a writer, chef, or musician. I don't have the gumption to do any of those. Though, there is a chance I will get my CISCO certification and go into Network Administrating.
Who knows, really?
I'll update again at some point.

Life and Love and Why
Morning everyone, and a very special hello to you.
How do we do on this fine Alabaman morn?
Exuberant, I do so hope.
Anyway.
What's up friends?
It's morning, and baby, I feel awesome!
You know, I was bummed last night because I made a promise to someone very dear and completely forgot about it.
Even though it may be something so miniscule as just playing a game, she was still a little put off.
With all due rights, too.
What does it say about me if I space on a little gaming time?
It's ok though, I'm making a beyond conscious effort to reform alot of the flaws that she's been helping me discover.
Flaws I'm finding in myself, little things, that can be tweaked and really improve my well being.
I've not been this happy with myself, and life in general, for quite some time.
Right-o! Other news?
Not much on the homefront.
I bought some stuff on Friday, mostly just the complete series of Deadwood.
As well as a classic western "Magnificent Seven" (Based on the Japanese story..) and Unforgiven.
Pewpewpew.
Downloaded RagnarokOnline to play with Dall, I have to say it's alot of fun.
Hopefully tonight, if Heather is in the mood, her and I shall play some PSO. <3
Right, that's it for me friends. I've got some work to do.
Have a great Monday.

Hello, it's me again.
So I was driving home today with one thought on my mind.
Well...Not true.
I woke up and went through today with one thought on my mind.
Shit..not true again.
I woke up and went through today with two thoughts on my mind.
In no particular order, one was talking to a very special someone, and the other would be to get Schuyler (pronounced Sky-lar) Fisk's album "The Good Stuff"
So I got home, and pretty much at the same time, both thoughts were realized.
I had just bought the album when the crush IM'd me.
Happiness, thy name if Justin.
I'm currently talking to her as I write this. It's heavenly, she is one of the main reasons I'm back into writing. Hoping soon to really start cracking away at my steampunk-esque novella because of her and my cousin Dall.
I love it. I love this feeling, it's so amazing! Heather has been there the past couple days, and she never fails to make me smile. Honestly, I just can't say enough about her. Sure, we used to know each other from long ago, but we rarely talked...and with due reason, because I was an absurd goofball. I'm glad we're talking again. Scratch that, I'm ecstatic we're talking!
Honestly, smiling like 200 times more lately.
So we're going to hop from real life crushes to my old celebrity crush.
For those rare few with the priveledge of knowing this fact, congrats. For those that don't, may I now present to you Ms. Schuyler Fisk!
I watched Orange County (the movie..not that God Awful show.) and was like "Who is that fetching red headed lass?" Well after searching I found Schuyler. More importantly, I found Schuyler's music.
I've been awaiting this album for a long time, so let's get right into it.
So where do I start?
I was glad to see a few well-known tracks like "From Where I'm Standing," "Fall Apart Today," "The Good Stuff," and "Hello." Even more than that, I was so excited to see new songs, such an excitement that I debated how the entire album would sound.
Some people may say "Well that's dumb..Why would you doubt an album?"
In which I'd reply "Well, what's better than being proving wrong, and still winning?"
Maybe it doesn't make sense to you, but it does to me.
Needless to say, Schuyler proved my uncertainties wrong flawlessly.
As for the well-known songs I mentioned earlier, the redone versions are ten times as amazing.
Newer songs (to me) such as "Afterglow", "You're Only Lonely", and "Cold Heart" are simply gems!
I feel like I really need to mention "You're Only Lonely"..It's got a "Time of The Season" beat to it, and maybe that's what draws me in so much. The vocals and lyrics are, to me, amazing. Definitely a track that stands out amongst some already amazing songs.
My favorite song? Well..10 to one, it's "Miss You." Schuyler has such a blusey-KT Tunstall vibe about her on this song. The lyrics are cheeky and sarcastic, which I love. I couldn't say enough good things about this song. I've a feeling that this song may be looped all night.
So as for my general rating, I give "The Good Stuff" a sheer 10 out of 10.
Honestly, I may be biased, but it's my first review and I simply adore Schuyler.
I promise, next time I review, I'll do a better job. Pinky Swear!
Well, I'm out all.
Later,
Justin

Don't let them scare you.
It is currently 15 days until I can finally see Coheed live.
You don't even know how pumped I am.
I got my Neverender 4 pack Shirts..I have to say, the SSTB shirt is my favorite, by far.
Also my favorite album...but you know how that rolls, eh?
But those few individuals who still don't know Coheed's Setlist..
Also accompanied are my feelings. Hah.
Welcome Home-(I suppose this is Co&Ca's anthem anymore, judging by the sheer amount of people it pulls in. Do I care for it? Yeah...but not as much as the others. Good first call though.)
Al the Killer (I never thought I'd see this song be played. EVER. I can't tell you how pumped I am.)
Gravemakers and Gunslingers (Pretty standard, one of my favorites off NWFT though.)
No World For Tomorrow (Likewise to the above.)
The End Complete (amazing choice, I'm pumped for this song.)
The Crowing (I heard this song isn't played? I haven't done thorough research. Either way, my least favorite from IKSSE3, still a good call though...((Still would have preferred Everything Evil.)))
IKSSE3(Pure Epic. 'nuff said.)
If I had my way, I'd have more SSTB in there, but it's more punk (that's how I classify it..leave me alone.) than their other, heavier stuff, so I can see why they did as they did.
One of the best set lists? I'd say so.
Other news:
I'm currently caring less and less about some people/things lately, I guess it's just the realizing of some facts, and how I don't stack up in their life as they stack up in mine.
Oh well.
In a mirror side, I'm crushing big time on someone. She's just...straight up amazing.
Secondly, went back to reading Tao Te Ching.
Sure, it's hard to follow, and there are moments Ijust shake my head, but I feel I was reading it to practice Taoism. My original intent was to expand my knowledge of other religions/philosophies, I lost sight of that goal. I'm back to it, and Tao Te Ching is an easier read.
I'm revamping life for damn near the fourth time.
Let's hope this time it all works.

How original.
Right! Afternoon everyone!
See that guy up there? That's Trent, albeit a very rough sketch of him.
See that guy up there? That's Trent, albeit a very rough sketch of him.
Who's Trent?
The lead for the webcomic I've been working on.
Is this important? No.
I show you Trent today, because I plan on pushing farther along with the comic.
To do so, I require feedback. Well...I require help, rather.
I don't know what's good for the public, I know what's good for me.
I figure by showing you Trent, I can gauge on how you feel.
Style's good? Would you frequent a comic drawn this way?

How has everyone's weekend been?
Forgive the short post, I'll give you a better one in a couple days, maybe even show a new character!
*gasps*
Well, that's it for today.
Later all,

A Day To Remember!
Or..well...some of you probably don't care.
I'll admit that I was a McCain supporter, but I do have high hopes for President-in-Three-Hours Obama.
Like it or not people, he's our man now.
We've made some crazy strides that we're even at this point.
I feel uncertain, whether it's the good kind or not is up for debate
Doesn't matter, my purpose isn't political.
Speaking of, I've been thinking in which direction this blog will go...
I mean, there's so many review blogs out there, and I'm too lazy to be up to date on new and upcoming artists..
I don't care enough about Politics to analyze them.
I like my art, but I have no motivation to push me on, so it's up in the air if this will be an art blog.
Too lazy for it to be a workout blog.
I don't like the idea of a "personal life" blog.
So where does that leave me?
I guess I do what I do know, comment on what's happening in the world in and around us.
I suppose locking down to one subject is a death trap, no?
Maybe.
Stay tuned! I may make witty observations!
Or not!
MYSTERIOUS!!!!

The Reclamation of the Original Nature of Mankind
Mornin gents and ladies,
What's better than being curled up in bed with your morning coffee, reading "Tao Te Ching", as the morning sun lightly bathes the room?
I don't know, I'll get back to when I'm actually doing that one day.
At the moment I'm at work.
Side note: Dude, seriously, it is way too cold to be Alabama. This noise, it has been rejected.
Other than that, not much changed.
Finally got the definite "OK" for the Cobalt Camping Trip, I can't wait.
Um, as is, it's just life.
I'm musing an idea I had last week.
I was drawing a steam punk golem, and then had an idea for a book.
With no motivation, I let the idea die.
But ho' Young Sire Shu came along and coincedently reminded me that we're the steampunk lovers of Cobalt.
He spurred my interest again, I may go ahead and do the book idea. I'll be drafting more of it soon.
Side note: I took apart my Squire 4-string P Bass the other night. I may do some chop work and make it steampunk/clockpunk...the idea was inspired from the steampunk flying V.
Well that's all for now.
Work time is work time, and my paperwork is finally getting here.
Later all!
