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.
