A CLICHE LOVE STORY?

    Oh how we all dream of kissing our lover under the mist of an Italian water fountain at dusk. The thought of finding that one true one is lovely to have in mind. It is an honest human instinct to fall in love quickly, which normally ends up hurting some...but for others this earthly attraction sparks an exuberant romantic love story. Picnics in the park, dancing in a field of wild flowers, your parents loving them, the sports nights with a girl who pretends she is interested, all these lovely images are often portrayed in movies. (I knew one day I would write about the word "cliche") Wow! Did I say movies...wait so love stories aren't real life? Well no, and yes. Love stories exist, but in the form of similar interests, friends of a friend, sweet flowers delivered to work...yah catching myself here, this happens in the movies too...but one thing separate movies from reality. In reality each kind gesture comes with the backbone of trust, long communication, and personal touches. Movies always portray things as working out every time, and unfortunately life isn't that way. Things we say or do can't be un-done with a corny gesture and some cliche movie quote. Things take time and effort to re-birth. Relationships are deemed so un-fragile in movies... when really relationships share the same fragility as a newborn baby! Relationships need nurturing, thought, and joy...I just really don't think the cliche kiss in the rain happens as easily in real life as it does in the movies. In my honest last remark, don't form your life around the movies because being cliche doesn't guarantee you a life lived happily ever after.

JUSTIN TIME TIPS week 2

This is the first edition of a hopefully weekly occurrence. I think a lot, and spend too much time with myself so all the time I am conjuring up these new ideas, and new approaches on things...how I haven't been picked up yet is beyond me. This week is about HEALTH

1) WATER: We all wanna be healthy but drinking water is tasteless and bland. Flavorings is a terrible sugary alternative. By accident I drank some pineapple juice that was put in my water bottle. It was about a half and half ratio. Any water spiked with REAL fruit juices can taste good, and have a nutritional backing. STARBUCKS has a new line of "refreshers" beverages and they use whole raspberries and shake the water to mix in a natural flavor that is great! Watch what juice you buy if you don't use it from fresh fruit, most juices are sugar filled!

VINTAGE ALREADY OLD!?

 
  Ok so I am speaking as a consumer, and somewhat a pop culture junkie. I don't know if my claims here are true but they're purely opinionated. Thru some basic observations it seems like the whole vintage trend (which I was definitely in with) has somewhat faded. I shop at Rue21 and they brought in a nice vintage design with their clothes. Now the lace, and ribbons have begun to be replaced by they bright neon trims and center folds. It's crazy how obsessed we all were with the vintage lifestyle, I'm personally in heaven seeing old wood, or metal furnishes. Seeing old pieces of clothes or antiques for some reason throws me overboard in a sea of respect. The simpler times were when people played outside or drove in their cars for 10 cents with their friends. I sometimes wish I could sit back on a 57 Chevy's hood sipping a 5 cent Pepsi, overlooking the town in a cliche picturesque cliff parking lot. Why can't life be vintage? No cell phones, no computer...what if when we heard "wifi" we thought of some governmental conspiracy to invade our easy life's? I think it's to the point where we love the ideal of not taking a bag of chargers, and electronics everywhere we go...but when we actually come to doing it, that's another thing. We are so whipped and wired in we can't even live out our fantasy that are as easy a putting our phones down. We use them because they exist and we love them. So with new technologies and ideas with our modern neon world is there even a place for vintage fashion!? Us small humans are sporting vintage fashions and vintage products all in a desperate plea for old ways...yet we take a picture of our new vintage shoes and twit pic it, instagram it, Facebook it, pin it on  pinterest, Blog them, Vlog them, text about them, email them, pic message them, and all this, just to show we support simpler times...it was difficult just writing all those posting ways. To support vintage fashion we have to support the life of simplicity and enjoying the little things...not the app store. Seeing all the new fashion trends go in and out I'm sure vintage fashion still holds itself strong, but really it all relies on the spirit of us consumers, and of course the fashion bloggers....oh we're such an  impressionable society.

OVERPLAYED MUSIC?

Omg that's so overplayed. Ya so is your mouth. I AM SO sick of people marking themselves on their music they listen to. Just because you are listening to people who aren't so main stream doesn't make you cool...it just makes you afraid of being socially involved. I listen to the radio, I hear what everybody hears, and yes I like the music. I don't see why if the song is overplayed, or too well known it changes the value of it. ADELES "someone like you" has been heard by millions...yet I still have my own connection with the song. What  ever happened to being moved by music? I like songs if they touch me emotionally, or sometimes physically by making me dance a little inside...as some songs show I also burst into a dance on the outside too. If music has an affect on me I enjoy it, I don't care who the artist is, or how cool it is...I am quite honest when I say I control my music sense. The profound affect music has on people is mind blowing...I love it. It is always changing, and evolving to new grounds. Music is a form of self expression...I live my life more expressed then a pack full of sharpies. AT THE MOMENT my favorite song is Ellie Gouldings "Lights"

THE RACCOON WHO WON'T PAY RENT

Today as I opened the garage to get my bike out, I was greeted by the butt of our new house mate. There laying behind a sled was a RACCOON lodging in our garage. To my knowledge he has yet to pay rent, in fact he has only done bad things for us as landlords. The furry ball of cuteness savagely consumes our trash . To add insult to injury he doesn't clean up his dinner after he is done, so the trash is just dumped over into out side yard, forcing us to get on the rubber gloves is pick up after him. We tried giving him a dish duty day but he hates water, and the sinks too high. With his previous history, and current standings I just think we need to tell him to leave...he is the worst house guest ever. How do we tell him to move out, without making things awkward between us?  We don't know the logistics of evicting a wild animal, so in part of the wild aspect in his name we used a stick and gently poked him out. Sort of like Ashton Kutcher did to Charlie Sheen.

[Consider this?] MURDER?

    Let's take a step back into time, our magical time warping trolly has led us to the days of Imperialism. The times when mighty Kings sat atop thrones hailing fortune, or the distinct opposite amongst his dearest patrons and most savage enemies. I have halted the trollies trip to this time to beg the question of murder! If you were a king and someone crossed you, you crossed them...with a blade to their neck. Back then it's like people were so disposable, but if a person is stabbed it makes the news channels and blogs, and candle light services are held. Some deaths even spark human rights campaigns! I figure it's because humans have gained humanity given we no longer sleep outside in huts. It could be maybe because each human for the most part has important jobs or placement, and we as humans make so highly of ourselves that when we leave it is raise or concern...what do you think? Why is death such a taboo thing now!?

MASS SHOOTING AT BATMAN PREMIERE Aurora, Colorado

   
 I am horribly disgusted in the humanity of one man this morning...JAMES HOLMES, a strong built, 24 year old Caucasian male, was armed with gas bombes and automatic weapons, dressed in camo, and a full gas mask, while kicking through emergency doors of the Century 16 movie theater in Aurora, Colorado during a midnight screening of "BATMAN The Dark Knight Rises".

35 ways to beat the heat

                                                        
          If you live in America, and don't stay cooped up in your air condition turtle shell then you know we are being hit with scorching record breaking temperatures! Not does heat affect comfort but having a heat related illness is extremely dangerous for your health. This all being an unfortunate event affecting millions I have decided to take it upon myself and scour the web for tips and tricks to beat this insane heat, and save you some money! Thanks to myself being in a turtle hole I present these tips:


1)  Take care of your A/C- change the air filters monthly to reduce friction in the airflow and have a more efficient cooling system

2). put new sealer on windows and doors that you see are leaking. New weather stripping isn't expensive, (roughly $1.50 per roll) 

LIFES A BEACH

                                               
   Ohh boy has it been a steaming summer! Not only steaming but it seems as though it has been rushed. For weeks, even months, we people of America have been put thru some scorching temps- and have been hitting the beaches like no other! We all must have bad skin, and empty wallets from all the chlorine, and water bottles! We are all searching for ways to beat the summer heat- unless your a jerk who has central air- and I have even gotten a bit inventive. I remember last week I was sticking my head in the freezer, and putting ice pack on my feet. If you have a pool -like me- you go swimming, but if you don't well looks like the coolers get packed, the trunks come on, and the family goes to the beach!

REALITIES HARSH REALITY

 
        I cannot even begin to fathom life without being forced into a state of fear. The social and physical responsibilities put on people in life is so astounding. The way we humans rely on each other is all too real to even comprehend, and honestly the idea of the world revolving each day successfully is too hard to believe. I know I just spit a bunch of powerful lines at you....but bare with me Here.

THE WRITER WHO HATES READING

 

               I am an avid writer. I blog, write scripts for vlogs, and text (that totally counts) So why on earth do I cringe at the thought of reading even the simplest things? I find the idea of reading to be beautiful, I almost wanna purchase an e-reading tablet...mainly just to have one...

NEW LOOK, LOOK ME?

 

              I ended my old blog "Justin Blogs Life"  thats the big thing here...it never really caught on with people and was really just a place where I learned how to build websites and design ads....if my blogs needed ads ..well that explains the rate of failure.

Life is meant to challenge you, I'm aware, also I believe were all just flowing to our end but we keep trying, we try why? Because we enjoy things? Because its what were suppose to do? ......So basically were all followers. Followers of each other. Followers to the game of life.

Valentines Pay?

Orignally on February 13, 2012 at 8:40 AM

         Although this writing is even more horribly clichéd then the day itself, I shall write about Valentines Day. Scratch that, I shall write about the day men must live up to the grand desires of every girlfriends chocolate loving, big bear hugging, elaborate date making expectations. The fact that guys are forced to endure this holiday as it is just horrible. First,
