we've all seen it
repetition of band name + opacity adjustments on all but one. more bands should stop doing this. it is the blood spatter of the late 2000’s, and pretty lazy design direction altogether (irony points! blog author has built his nearly-finished college career around lazy design).
i also wish loud, patterned hoodies would go away already. and the one-key carabiner. i was observing a group...

HEY EVERYONE, WAKE UP!
trevor and i were out drinking last night, and received a ride home from john. upon exiting the elevator on the 3rd floor of our building, i watched as trevor casually pulled the fire alarm. it took a second for my drunk brain to realize what had happened. once i realized that we should skee-daddle before someone woke up and saw it was us, i started laughing and grabbed trevor’s arm and said...

this is a regular dude who works merch for ICP on their current tour (actually i think he left the tour early because he hated it). very interesting. imagine touring with ICP for 10 weeks and dealing with juggalos every night.
God's Birthday Present to Me: A Taco Bell Story
(aside from the cheesy gordita crunch being the deal of the month, priced at $1.49. pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good deal.)
after working last night, i dove headfirst into a fresh sack of birthdayweed. as 2am approached, trevor and i decided that it was imperative that we make a Bell run. after all, as stated above in the subtitle, the almighty gordita crunch WAS on sale. “fuck...

this guy picked the wrong show to attend
last night i played a show with This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb, Sweet Disasters, Frozen Teens and The Guys. as i was standing at the ATM downstairs withdrawing money so i could punish my liver just a little bit more, some guy came downstairs and struck the door to Dempseys as hard as he could to open it, while answering his phone, and screamed “GOD I HATE PUNK MUSIC! Where you at?”

A Bunny’s Caravan - “Draining Puddles, Retrieving Treasures” is blowing my fucking mind
this sort of thing happens to me way too often
the worst part about having dumb visible tattoos is that people with dumber tattoos seem to think that i am so interested in hearing about theirs. yesterday as i was walking from work to subway, i hear “HEY LEMME SEE YER TAT!!” this redneck and his girlfriend demanded to look at my leg, in the middle of the street, as a car was approaching us. i said “let’s not do this...

what’s up with stuff?
tuesday morning record review (kind of)
Prologue: i got high.
Chapter 1.
on a music stealing site that i frequent, i saw that the new Set Your Goals record was up. SYG, a band who’s ep was initially sent to me over the internet by a random guy in 2004. i dug it. it had a very slight lifetime feel to it, and it grew on me. then in 2006, as i was slowly starting to become jaded with the hardcore scene and the bands within,...

quirks on a van!
we played with Off With Their Heads and Dear Landlord last night, a show i’ve been looking forward to since late may (sidenote: Dear Landlord’s new record “Dream Homes” is the best release of 2009 thus far. you will be doing yourself a favor if you obtain it. you will listen to it daily). while it was an extremely fun show, that’s not the point of this blog.

our bathroom smells like meat
today is the final day in my big 4 day-in-a-row work stretch. 4 whole days you say? yes, 4 whole days. if you work where i work then that’s a lot of time spent searching for something to entertain myself.
yesterday trevor and i did go to loopy’s dollar store to buy some sort of pitcher for kool aid. we have a mini fridge at work, and kool aid, but nothing to store it in. the...
$1000 cookies
so i’ve had this credit card for about 3 years now, just a shitty chase card with a $2000 limit, and after 3 years of looking at statements every month i finally noticed something. i had accumulated 3,748 “points.” i was like “say WHAAAAA?!” and immediately scoured the statement for any fine print that said i had to become a member of their secret club in order to...
this post is about a bridge
the lindenwood (heh) and goose(heh)berry bridge gets lowered today. thank you WDAY news for telling me yesterday. this cuts my bike-to-work time in half. meaning i can get hit the pipe during Family Feud and pig out during the first half of the Ellen show.
maybe i need a theme, or maybe i'm just high all...
i really want to write in this. i want to post random photos and videos. too bad i never fucking take any pictures or videos. marcus and i were discussing on saturday, while watching some afternoon movie review show (REEL TALK), the concept of me turning this tumblr into a movie review tumblr.
“but wait a sec justin, who gives a fuck what you think of movies?” you might be asking...

she let go, woah oh ooh woah
oh tumblr. do you have those moments? those mments you shouldnt be writing? like the xang a highschool days. wow.
have you ever had that record that just reminds out of one person? in my case at least, it’s one of my favorite records of 2008 as a whole, but when i listen to it (especially during winter) it reminds me of but one person. one single person that in a weird way was able...

hornbachers, you've defeated me
i specifically calculated my groceries so they would be under $21, since that was all i had on me. one of your dumb employees scanned my orange juice(s) wrong, resulting in me having to pay $2.69 each for a product that was advertised as 2 for $3. since every one of my items was a necessity, removing one and putting it back was not an option. after i explained the mistake to the cashier not...

a defeated sigh
i’m eating my own words right now, as i have just switched back to my old major of graphic design. i dont see myself in the psych field. music is going to remain a hobby. i was close to graduating anyway so i’m just going to make it work.
perhaps i can change my opinions. i’m excited to return to the realm of “art,” but also remember how bitter i felt towards it...

my body gets tired, II
one class tomorrow, cant sleep. i still want to write, but cut that last entry short because i thought it was too long. look at me, fucking cutting my own thoughts short, afraid that it’s too long. too long for who? the internet?
it’s 3, and i’m going to kick myself tomorrow for not going to bed.
but i sit awake, in my favorite mesh shorts and my favorite red hoodie,...
my body gets tired
these 13 hour sundays are great ways to wind down in anticipation for the coming week, if that makes sense. perhaps friday is a more common wind-down day for most people, being done with school/work if you’re one of those “9-5” people. but sundays are something i look forward to since the weekend is often just as busy and stressful as the week. it’s kind of weird to look...

it's hoodie weather and i love it
fucking fall. sure my biking days are numbered but i got some good ones in the past week or so. but man do i love always wearing a hoodie, or thermal, and the act of getting all bundled up just to go out on the balcony and smoke with my roommates. i guess that’s more of a winter thing but that’s on the way soon.
man have i been getting some good sleep lately too. i cant believe...

feels like 2006, again
what a weird transition from last week to this one. i’ve lost all motivation for school, already. i hate it. i dont want a psych major. i want to finish my degree i spent 3 years working on, but i dont want to be a graphic designer. i want to buy a new drum kit, but i should pay off my car loan. i want to quit smoking weed. i have the overwhelming desire to drink, a lot all of a...

a better entry tomorrow....or in 3 weeks
i started school today, man was it tough. one whole class. feels good to be back though, i felt like less of a piece of shit today compared to most days.
so i’m taking contemporary chicanos to finish my liberal arts degree and feeling out a psych major (maybe) by taking two classes that are required for that major, but do not require me to declare a psych major to take them. if that...

DAY 7: June 7th, 2008 (Hull Ave. Tavern, 21+) Des Moines, Iowa
We woke up in our hotel and drove off for a few hours on the hottest (but cloudiest!) day EVER. by the time we reached des moines though, it was sunny and hot. on our way out of town we spotted a winery and visited that, it was really random and far out in the country. gabve and logan bought bottles of wine that they never drank,...
radisson time
i am done at heartland and have started the rad which i like so far. it’s much better than heartland and safari in that i’m constantly doing something and moving around, as opposed to just sitting there for hours. getting paid to do nothing is sweet, but the boredom makes it not worth it.
friday i ended up working 3 jobs, and i thought that was impressive. 7am-12 at heartland, then...
i've always kinda sorta wished i was someone else
applied at radison tonight while biking, hopefully that works out. 4th of july weekend was pretty good, i got a little too drunk on thursday, but only blacking out periodically for a few moments at a time. i did not bike home that night, ha. friday i went out to detroit lake with ali and jordan, meeting up with mike and cassandra and her friend who was cool. i lost my glasses in the lake while...
“…these towers of blocks that consume me”
– myself, describing a recent game of tetris
i quit my job
yesterday. i am glad, this summer is going by too fast. i used to stay up/out late every day, bike until 4 am etc, and that allowed me to measure the summer by days, making it much more enjoyable. these days i measure my summer in weeks, and it’s a lot less cool. a week of work blah….cant stay out late because i have to get up at 7am……oh! a weekend! i’ll drink...

tetris!!!!
we finally got our tetris game back!! in case you didnt know, it’s technically called “The New Tetris” for n64 and features “super blocks” you can form by making a perfect 4x4 square out of 4 pieces. these “super blocks” are horribly addicting, and multiply your line score by 5 or 10, depending on if the block was formed from 4 different pieces or 4 of...
moar, day 2
i start working at safari 7 again tonight, which is kind of sad. it pays shit, has shitty hours, and all the cool people no longer work there. there’s a new manager who is 2 years younger than me (and not old enough to drink) and i am supposed to answer to him. we’ll see how this goes, at least i still get to be a projectionist. plus i’m looking forward to biking in this...
