MICHIGAN'S ADVENTURE

THIS BLOG IS TERRIBLY SHORT.

~~~~~~~~~~Monday August 27th~~~~~~~~~~~~
After braving a 3 hour drive....and by braving I mean absoutley suffering in the backseat with my laptop, movies, and photoshop....Sense the sarcasm? No, it was an easy trip I was well equiped.
This wonderous adventure I have taken route on is a few days up north with my (prettty much) brother Anthony and his famIly to MICHIGAN ADVENTURES!
Our first attempt at 10 pm at night of grabbing a motel in the off skirts of a tourist town was inconclusive. Quite frankly elderly people suffering from memory loss should not own and operate anything.
Second try landed us to some creepy old man with a limp saying his motel is not ready cause he was in the ER today...we more or less drove off at a more then normal fast rate.
Our last attempt of having a place to stay landied us at NORTHSIDE MOTEL....with pink lights lining the ubilding I assumed this was a swanky joint, or a strip club. They used a buzzer system to let us in...and now I see why. SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL! Leaving her alone up north at ight would be dangerous, yes we are being hosted by a veyr lovely indian woman. After closer inspection she has 19 year old kids...there must be something in her tea to keep her looking young!
I would like to point out that I stayed on track with healthier choices and while buying snacks at the gas station I bought assortments of nuts, and raisin things...one is even more epic then the others cause there is yogurt bits in it!
I don't have my camera here so no vlog of this trip although by the sights of things so far it would be an epic trip for oyu viewers...me and Anthony have the sort of "issues" that make things funny...well for us.   OK it's mainly destruction and innappropriate jokes...we definaTELY did not say anything innapropriate about our amazingly gorgeous motel owner.
See you tomorrow?
~~~~~~Tuesday August 28th~~~~~~~~~~~
I just woke up at 8:45 am, (Might I acknowledge I got up after only one attempt!) I have a minor headache but I attritbute that too not sleeping until 1am-ish....I am apologizing right now to the future me having to walk all day today. Sorry dude. Twit-book-lr took over last night.
WE are going to find a bite to eat then head off! I wish i hads my Galaxy sII already so I could just Vlog it!~ Ohhh I could photoblog it too!
I didn't take my phone...so I took no photo's of M.A. but in the next blog of Lake Michigan which is the day after you're reading this blog has tons of photo's!

WHY BLOGGING ISN'T POINTLESS?

I have heard many times things along the lines of  "Everyone and their Mom has a blog"- to speak in rebuttal my Mom thinks wifi is just something that appears anywhere you are...she is technologically illiterate. Realistic speaking, yes the bloggersphere is chock full of crazy writers. I have choosen for a few years now to be among this no longer elite fab. Partaking in such a well known hobby means the usual criticism  "WHO CARES?" Believe it or not people can make their living off of blogging (I have yet to master how to get more then 10 cents from mine in over 2 years but I will get there haha)
I wanted to blog to you today  *hands you a coffee* to mainly stress the point that what I spend my time doing along with the millions of others out there is not at all pointless. (unless you're a soil conservation blog for climate control---I'm sure no one reads those) I will make an ATTEMPT at being short and sweet in why BLOGGING IS NOT A WASTE...

CONTENT: Each and every blog has a distinct theme, style of writing, and general content it produces. Every writer on any blog out there is an individual, therefore provides their individualized approach and style to the issues or happenings they blog about. This gives the readers maybe a new found tip, or second opinion they have been needing. I myself am an avid Google zombie, I stumble over to Google for every brain picking question I have, and always rely on the lovely bloggers otu there who have wrote tips and tricks for things in life. The content of each blog is usually focused on a certain topic, and each blog is like a person...and everybodies different, so even though the number of bloggers is insane, they all serve purpose.

FLARE:along with the idividualized approach to each blog I mentioned just then- you have the bloggers specific characterization to their content. If you're and older person looking for political news you're going to search for a more serious tuned down informative blog. If you're a teenager searching for life's big question you will feel most comfortable in a casual, human like blog. Every different blog have a different person behind it, that is like the difference between attending a wedding, and a funeral.

BRAND: A blog follows a theme (again, as I mentioned earlier) and staying true to that theme is what makes or breaks you as a blogger. I have devised a system called the 3 C's. COLOR, CONTENT,

CONSISTENCY: If your 3 C's play in together nicely you will have a good brand. Most bloggers and vloggers set a schedule- for me I blog at least once a week- Think of it like bloggers being STARBUCKS or MCDONALDS, they are always staying fresh big companies. Staying true to your readers brings them back.

            Hopefully this has shown you how the use of blogging really is a much needed thing in our world, not to mention a great hobby for any person to get into.
THE COMMENT QUESTION: "What do you think sets bloggers apart most?"

JUSTIN TIME TIPS WEEK 5


If you haven't caught on, I post the tip severy Sunday. I just realized how funny it is that I come up with some short paragraph of  a conversation before each weeks tips...they're tip severyweek what becomes new about each set beside the tips??? Oh well here is this weeks tips!


1) TECHNOLOGY: If you have a smart phone and are not living it up unlimited on a great plan, then you know DATA is a word you hate to see. So to SAVE YOU DATA download the FREE app called "Onavo" it is somehow a data cruncher and really does work. Although the downsides are you won't be able to send or recieve photo's for some reason...I don't know maybe they will conjure up a fix for that.

2) FOOD: Snack foods...we eat them. we love them. We also have to suffer the health affects. There are many chips, with many different flavors but did you know there are more than just the salty greasy LAYS!? Yes! I eat the chips called "KETTLE BRAND" they are ALL NATURAL, and kettle cooked. These chips are not only NOT FRIED in grease, but the kettle cooked aspect gives them a great crunch! My favorite part beyond the healthiness, is how great they taste! The natural ingredients make for wonderful flavors, and your fingers are not wet by the end of eating them! (available anywhere)

3) ALCOHOL: If you plan on having a night of drinking pair that with the lovely H2O! You should space your drinks with water, doing so keeps you hydrated, while also lessening the affects of the alcohol, so you can drink and have fun but not get too wasted. (I don't know what ages read my blog- but this is for 21 and over!)

4) WIFI:  If you prefer going out for your wifi I will give you one tip....NO MCDONALDS. On top of their fat inducing greasy food their wifi is horrendous. I prefer going to STARBUCKS personally for the value of their products, but also their wifi is rather fast. From much experiementation and stress 0.0 I found Mcdonalds wifi to be weaker at many locations.

AS ALWAYS comment below to share your tips!

EXCLUSIVE "Species 0" excerpt



       Finding a place of happiness in his bedroom and family rooms, Aaron Estes at just 20 years of age has produced the emotional journey he has aspired to create. Aaron has wanted to create his own take on a LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Transvestite) superhero novel, and this was his main inspiration for writing "Species 0" a thrilling super speed novel showing you it possible to stand up in life.  I enjoyed this quote directly from him "Many media has inspired me for this book such as The little mermaid, dante's cove, batman, and tons of others but at the end of the day I made it mine."
Begining work in his junior year of high school, he began battle thru the hardships of writing, such as the daunting task of characterization. He need not worry as his friends and family brought the much needed support a young author needs. This entire series started as an idea, turning into a draft that he had posted on his blog. That draft blossomed into an outpour of support and praise from friends and blog readers of his. Using this love from people was the best choice he could have made, the first book has went thru years of changes, and evolved into to what is now one book with two more to come! I am so glad to see a young adult who has moved on from the little restricting  town of Lapeer, Michigan and followed his dreams to hit it big living in New York, New York...a city of dreams.
 
So without further suspense I give you the provocative, romantic, thrilling journey of "Species 0"- in the exclusively release Prologue piece to the book! 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Prologue 

Andy watches the guest at yet another rich party in Beveral Hills, California. Drinking, dancing, fucking, everything parties consist of. However, Andy knows this isn’t a normal party. The people here can afford anything they want. From the latest fashion, to new cars and nannies. They have more than enough, yet they still take from the needy. Andy’s life lesson: Sometimes people take too much, but they don’t seem to understand the world will take it all back in a second. Andy considers himself the world in this lesson. He takes from the rich, afterall they have more than enough. He has two rules: Never take more than he needs, and always give to the needy. He gives back by protecting those in danger. Superhero? Fuck no! Andy feels a man’s hand grab onto his shoulder pulling him onto the dance floor. He looks at the man who is suited up in black, and has beautiful light blue eyes. A person would never know this man was a cold blood killer. 
“You catch up quick Howard.” Andy whispers into the man’s ear as he pulls him closer. 
“Maybe you just don’t run fast enough.” Howard says, his voice deep and filled with rage. Andy doesn’t let off any fear, he just lets out a loud sigh and continues to slow dance with Howard. 
“We had a deal.” Howard says. 
“Come on, I know you don’t want to make a scene here. All these people, somebody could get hurt.” Andy makes himself sound young and innocent, playing with Howard. 
“Cut the act, you care too much about people to let anything happen.” Howard says. 
“You know me better than that, I could care less about these rich blue collar workers.” Andy says, continuing to dance with Howard, wishing this slow song would end. 
“My boss isn’t very happy.” Howard looks Andy in the eye as if warning him. 
“Most of the world isn’t happy.” Andy replies. 
“We had a deal, you give us the location of Jenga, we would help you escape.” 
“Now you see, I have an issue with your terms and conditions. Jenga is already pissed I left him, why would I put a target on my back?” Andy asks. 
“Well, now you have several.” Howard whispers into Andy’s ear. 
Andy looks around the room slowly and sees several men holding laser guns. He keeps dancing with Howard, not wanting to set them off. 
“You think killing me is going to help you find Jenga? I mean, if your goal is to be ripped up into pieces, well, go right ahead.” Andy warns. 
“Tell us why Jenga is after you.” Howard demands. 
“He’s just a man in love.” Andy tells him. 
“Why is he attacking the humans?” Howard asks.
“Let me tell you something about Jenga. The man has a mind of his own. Nobody has ever loved me like he did. I may need out, but I would never betray him. No matter what it is you’re offering. Cause’ let’s face it, when Jenga is done with his plans, all of you won’t know what hit you. I advise you hold onto what you have very tightly.” Andy tells him, pulling away roughly. He notices the men raise their laser guns. 
“You wouldn’t kill me, not here.” Andy says. 
“That’s why you need to come with me.” Howard orders him. 
Andy looks Howard in the eyes, his body giving into the power. Howard feels a daze come over him as the scent of flowers and lust fill the air. Andy becomes the most beautiful guy he has ever seen. He can’t help but want him right there and now. 
“Be honest, well you kind of have no choice. Was your plan to kill me once I told you?” Andy asks. 
“Yes, but I won’t let that happen. I love you.” Howard says. 
“Tsk, Tsk. Nobody can stick to deals anymore. Sadly for you, I always have a back up plan.” Andy says kicking Howard and sending him flying into two of the laser gun men. A shot goes off, but Andy quickly grabs onto the balcony and pulls himself up. 
The guest begin to scream and panic but Andy just keeps walking, until he feels a gun touch the back of his head. 
“You should never leave your back open.” The man holding the gun says. 
“I figured you’d enjoy it Peter.” Andy says kissing the man. 
“Enough Killer. I have to get out of here.” Andy pulls away, out of his eye he sees a man sneaking up on him with a gun. Andy quickly pulls a razor out of his shirt collar and throws it, cutting the man’s throat open. Peter shots a second gun man. 
Andy sets a small bomb on the stair way/ 
“Is it clear?” Andy asks. 
“Yes.” Peter answers. 
Andy kicks the glass out of a window, and looks down twenty stories. He grabs onto the escape bar, Peter grabs on as well. 
“Peter…I made it clear, I need to escape.” Andy says before head butting Peter causing him to fall back inside. Andy presses a buttom, and the bomb explodes. He slides now the bar as fire sprews out of the building. He hits the ground, landing on both feet, and walks away knowing never to look back.

GOODWILL = TRASH?


Let me say first hand...although your clothes affect your appearance to people, your personality and humanity is the number one asset you need to worry about. Luckily for me I was raise dproperly so I have a general likability about me. I was also raised up as a preppy little sweater vest wearing, bible hugger...So I am now I sexy, hipster fashion lover, I don't really bible hug as much as I should!
Secondly, GAY IS NOT AN ATTITUDE, therefore caring about how you dress as a man does not make you gay. I love the ways clothes can change a persons confidence, and appeal, that don't mean I'd rather see the "P" where you got a "V". (Comment if you can quote where that is from)
Ok, you're on my terms...here we go. GOODWILL is a store msot everyone knows. A loy of times it has the greatest things you will have never found, it is a constant garage sale...who doesn't appreicate a good garage sale every now and then. Considering the charitable factor behind donating, and purchasing from the store, it's old moggy smell does not phase me. It was not until late last year I seen that a lot of my friends actually do shop at Goodwill, it's actually a sort of social club. Finding gems there is really fun, the way they have it where people donate the goods they sell means you get the same value as going all aorund town to garage sales...Goodwill brings you the convience and value of a day of garage saling in one store!
I have shopped for things there many times, and always find somethign more then what I originally wen tin looking for and that's what is so GRAND ABOUT IT! You can find things like good clothes, or shoes while also finding some great new Coffee mug for your already insane collection. Or...not, cause maybe your Mom has started restricting your Coffee mug limit...besides my obsessions you actually find some great clothes, and you should definately not be a shamed to shop there. I will tell you although my closet is 95% designer brand clothes- you can come across some great name brands at Goodwill, people just carelessly throw away. So shopping for clothes there is a good choice, although you may have to sift thru a lot of old horrendous clothes- and if you've been there you know horrendous is definately the adjective for some of the clothes.
I know that most people feel others can prosper form their trash..but let's be real some of the stuff I find there is completely pointless to have in the store. On top of pointless there was one time I saw somehting that should not even be in the public eye! One day while drifting thru i saw a glass display case near the back, in it I found trojan vibrating condoms of some sort (hopefully not used) sitting vicariously  next to a Wizard of Oz Dorothy barbie doll....coinsidence...I hope so. 0.0.
If you are an avid shipper here good for you, your supporting a great charity who helps millions...if you have never then please do so! Remember that helping others is never going to make you look trashy, or poor...Goodwill is a store based on doing good...so support a wonderful charity, while saving money. Realistically most people today can save money...it does not make you poor to want to get more then one outfit for $50...trust me I have been there I paid $150 in a shopping haul one day with my friend Troy Walker....I walked out with two outfits...what did I do wrong!----I avoided Goodwill that's what!

COMMENT QUESTION:    What is some of your funnest things you have found at Goodwill?

ORGANICALLY HIGH

(A fun day narrative)
Starting off I was on a nice sister date with Kayla (My bro's girlfriend) Knowing she would be living to go home, leaving me alone at Starbucks I hit up one of my most epic friends Maranda. She came, we very openly played my youtube videos on the loudest volume in the middle of STARBUCKS for th fun of it. Then I got bored, so we needed to hit the town! Of course if you live in this trash pit of a small town Lapeer, you know "hitting the town" is walking around WalMart or something.
So we made our way to Meijers (by starbucks) and after braving thru the gangs of bikers ready to rape us in the parking lot we steadily grabbed a cart, set out bags in it along with my Starbucks Refresher and we were off!
Our first stop was garden center, after ramming the cart into the door that never automatically opened we discovered it was closed for tonight. So we made our way to the books only to discover some certain .."bulges" in the pants of the One Direction boys in a magazine. XD
Secondly we came across a very attractive woman chef who has a tv show, and her display of products. You have three seconds to throw your guess out there- wait let's make this a game...go COMMENT first which chef you think I am talking about CLOSE your eyes and scroll down. Then come back and see if your guess was right :)
           

               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ANSWER~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                  RACHEL RAY!
              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Did you win? (lol) Well anyways Rachel Ray is definately my number one pick if I was offered a MILF. In all seriousness I love her cooking ware and she is just beyond words to describe her beauty. We played with her cookware made some loud sexual jokes about it alll, then moved on to making a video of different very disruptive laughs in public BAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!....people stared.
We walked thru the clothes and Maranda had her eye on a "sexy young man" worker there. Quite frankly from a straight guys perspective, there was not much to like so I do not see where her attraction lies in a man. After her trying on hooker boots obviously right in front of him we made our way to the sexy section.
Maranda found a very sparkly and bright pair of 12 year old girl lingerie. Ok she says it is not 12 year olds but please they fit me, and I have the body of a 12 year old girl. (lol)
Oh my all this hsopping has burnt a lot of calories. So we briskly made our way to the doughnuts place...they were already taken in for the night. SO we looked around at the pre-packaged crap....it all looked gross, then we saw a bunch of Organic salads beckoning our bodies toward them! We took about 10 minutes to find the right ones but eventually got two very organic and mixed up salads.
We went ot self checkout in fear of an awkward silence at the register...imagine two teenagers walking up with two organic salads, creepy faces, and pieces of 12 year old girls lingerie...
To make this situation even more awkward for people we sat outsid eon the Meijer benches eating the salads as they exited and entered...the looks people gave us XD  At one point I remember having a mouth full of salad screaming at them "WHAT DO YOU WANNNT!?!?!"
My brother was my ride home so we had journeyed our way thru the dark and desolate parking lot, and back sides of the hotels. A few cars scared us so we turned our walk into a fast paced walk. Making our way to the M24 Subway. We had a half hour to spare, so we sat on the randomly ledge they have in between the parking lot and the road.
Sitting there with two salads randomly spitting some out, and throwing rocks in the road...things just got crazier as time went on. This next part has no valued explanation so I will not try...but Maranda conjures this brilliant idea that I should put on her panties she just bought. Reluctantly putting on the panties for all of the M24 drivers to see I strutted my stuff, with an Organic salad in hand.
Out of no where we see this bus, making a joke at it being a party bus, when they turn into EG Nicks we see on the side it really is a party bus! :D So we put the  panties on our fingers and twirled them above our head like mad drunks! The bus kept pulling all around the parking lot like it was watching us...we gladly would have joined their whole shin-dig.
Once the bus drove away we had not much to do but run aorund in the road between cars, and just shouting things.
I seriously consider the possibility that the ORGANIC vitamins or something produced some sort of brain waves, chemical high or something.  I don't know the science behind it...but this was a good night.
      You can use that box down there to talk ya know. It doesn't bite.

[CONSIDER THIS] iPhone 5



THE iPhone 5 is set to release soon. Big shocker there you could  expect a new one in just a few months afterthe iPhone4S. TYPICALLY when you're all excited about getting new Apple product they are already working on its replacement. THEY never want you to be satisfied for more than a year it seems.
  I have watched a few documentaries and listened to my fair share of rants about this. I TOO have some opinions, just like Apples expansion me having an opinion is no shocker.
  Each time they release a new product yes it is chock full of a few cool ew features and technologies. WHAT I don't agree with is how often they reproduce their same ideas with a new design and concept, plaster a new fancy number on it and call it a break thru.
  MICROSOFT has often said to stand behind them a lot, but in all honesty I still apreciate the sleek easy to use design of Windows 7. WHEN THEY RELEASED that it was a hot topic, and I'd imagine has racked them in millions of dollars. THE CONCEPT BEHIND Windows 7 is simple. They produced something that is easy to use yet gets the job done for those who need it to be efficient...their smartest tactics are too wait and develope things fully instead of throwing out a bunch of models that needfixing and rebirth every few months. I have been hearing about Windows 8 for a year or more now...after testing the BETA I am definately not a fan of the tablet/touch screen friendly design they went with. MY POINT is they have been taking the time to actually develope it.
  The new models every few months could just be Apples was of making money jackpots every now and then off naive consumers, or it could of course just be another game a company plays to sit in their office and laugh down upon us. Hey Apple...you can take your Apple and shove it right up your fancy retina display, sleek, yet loose butthole.

Rant about TWIX



  If you watch tv you have found out that apparently MIKE & IKE are not on good grounds with each other. This is already old news in this considerably fast paced market. I am not blogging behind here I am just now blogging because I witnessed marketing at it's best just now. While working on this weeks "JUSTIN TIME TIPS" I saw the TWIX commercial showing a vintage remake of the LEFT TWIX, and RIGHT TWIX factories. Proclaiming they were in a feud since the 1800's...why I am hearing about this just now in 2012...well we are not suppose to think about that. I'm quite sure a company would not hide such a big feud. 0.0   
So apparently the LEFT & RIGHT TWIX made their products the same, but in two different neighboring factories and described with the same yet different adjectives. Why am I telling you this!?
Mainly because it exemplifies how boring big companies get. They wait for one company to get a big success at something and swoop right in and run the same tactics as them. Do they really think we don't notice!?!? If you were to place a child under the television (kinda like we do) for a day or so they would get the impression that copying others! Last I checked Plagiarism still exists!
Companies do this obviously because it's smart. They do what they know works...but still, let's be a bit more creative people.

JUSTIN TIME TIPS WEEK 4


I have squeezed just enough time in to write some of my tips for this week! What with Lapeers days and vlogging that, this week has not been productive on the blogging scale. Expect more blogs in the next weeks...Not to reveal TOO MUCH but I do have an author friend who has given me an EXCLUSIVE piece from his debut book series to share on MY BLOG ONLY! His book series is coming May 2013! -More on that too come soon!

1)  FOOD: Eat blueberries in the summer months (that's now)! Blueberries are in season now, and that means cheaper prices. You can buy in bulk now and freeze them for the winter (In an AIR TIGHT container) They are high in antioxidants and a whole bunch of other good stuff, especially taste. They can be mushed into any fruity dish, eaten alone, or even mixed into a delicous drink!

2)  HAIR: If you admire the hairs of celebrities then I am going to let you in on their biggest (yet well known) secret to great hair! Most celebrities like the One Direction boys only wash their hair once or twice a week. Hold up now it is not entirely gross! They use dry shampoo which is something that goes into your scalp like a gel and keeps your hair clean while allowing the natural oils your hair produces. These oils are what we call "grease" when really this grease is a beautiful act of nature repleneshing our hair foliicals!
3)  TECHNOLOGY: DO NOT ever, under any circumstances leave your iPod or any other electornics outside overnight. For example...SOME person..wink wink...left their iPod outside and it rained over night, water got inside the  iPod and well goodbye iPod. Ok so if you're not dumb you caught the hint it was me...I think we all know not to do this...I just wanted to share this weeks blonde moment XD

4)  FOOD: If you are a late night food addict don't worry your not alone, "HI my names Justin, and I'm a food-aholic" I literally sit up all night and just chow down on every food I find. Realizing this bad habit I found my dull food. My "dull food" is snacking on a bowl of dry cheerios. They are pretty much empty of anything so it is a snack that fulfils my need to be eating something. Sadly they have yet to make me more cheery X) Haha Just kidding...yolo. OK NO I AM GONNA GO DIE NOW FOR SAYING THAT.
         
       
             If you liked this weeks tips SHARE IT! 
          If you have YOUR OWN TIPS comment below and share with the bloggersphere!

          Seriously do it....no one EVER comments anymore. Come on people not a one time thing, I ask a question every blog...throw me a freakin bone. ;)

OPPOSING POLITICAL STAND POINTS


  I only used such a bland title to see how much no one will read this blog post...politics...ewwww! Although I am more of a Hollywood junkie I do follow a tad by of the political things going on. It's our country you kind of have to pay some attention to politics, after all they decide your future truthfully. I for some reason have emails everyday sent from Obama and Romney. Each email always says the opposite of the other. I like Obama then read Romney's and find out he is a scandal? It just keeps going back and forth, on the end judging by character and personality I support Obama. The thing that really irks me is how I really can't believe either one because they each contradict each other. Just like the media, these candidates throw everything everywhere and I don't know who or what to believe. I am probably never going to vote, it seems tedious and worthless, even though voting is showing my opinion that can affect the whole US. I really am confused about things, and to the point here I read right. past their emails. Politics is politically incorrect! You cannot contradict each other, it just doesn't make sense!? Point to this blog: Ranting.

THE REOCCURRING AFFECT [tlif]

I don't know about you, but when life gives me lemons...I throw them in a pitcher and make bank! In my many years of life I have come to realize the key attribute to being alive, If something can go wrong it will. Many events happen in everyday life, and to keep things fresh some gamer troll in a forest hut hacks into our life everyday and gives us new challenges for today. Something rewarding about playing into trolls games are that you get the victory of "leveling up" and moving on to your next objective. The barbaric troll that savagely twists your life around each day may be pent on giving you stress, anxiety, and near death during your fights with the objective, but in the end (if you win) he rewards you with a euphoric high...you did it. YOU DID IT! Hearing those words are what makes us squeeze the lemons, grasping the Capitol about to be made. The three words earned from that troll called life is what makes us feel the desire to make that lemonade! Pushing thru the trolls games is always going to result in a battle won! An argument you dissolve by walking away, 
a battle won. Doing the homework to your best ABILITY, a battle won. Being the best parent even though your child is being a brat (although the child doesn't see it) a personal battle won. This game making troll is smart. It will give you public triumphs and personal battles. The plot twists of including another person or thing is what keeps the troll hip. Not every battle is won alone, so using others to help along the way is nothing to be ashamed of...it is what the troll wants. Number one tip: don't tick off the troll. Giving up will show weakness to the troll and harm your personal view of yourself...building up a strong resistance to failure, not trying, and neglect will keep you strong! I have learnt pulling out isn't always the best way out. I'm leaving you on that thought. XD

JUSTIN TIME TIPS WEEK 3

 Third times the charm! Hopefully this weeks tips can help you even more! Remember these are tips I pickup along my daily life....You can comment below to ask a question or share your own tips, people around the world read my blog so sharing is caring!

1) SKIN: Being a teenager as well as a BOY I am faced with zits and pimples...we all get them. I found an ALL NATURAL facial wash last week, and (although I have been eating alot of organic foods) my face skin has dramatically changed in just ONE WEEK! This magically charm is "St Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub". The 1 oz. travel bottle that is only 97 cents at WalMart is a perfect size and price to use! Normally many skin care products are either expensive or drys out your skin. I am afraid of those liquid acne washes, a lot of them burn or end up breaking you out even more. Buy and try this! (longest tips yet much lol)

2) ANGER: If you have a lot of words to say and your not one of those annoying people who post it all on Facebook try my trick of acronyms. Say your words using only the first letter. Like a sort of secret code. Say I wanted to say "God I hate you so much you jerk" write that as GIHYSMYJ while saying it in you head. You'll feel the same as if you had yelled at them, minus the confrontation. But confrontation is the solution to problems so always do so eventually, and in a calm manor!

3) FOOD: If you eat Yogurt like you should eat CHOBANI all natural. If you do eat it you know it has to be mixed up, Instead of stirring it in the tiny cup making a mess of the yogurt mix it up before you open it. I like to shake it vigorously before I open it so It is not a tub of cream cheese when I open it!

4) BODY: If you find a new body product like shampoo or haircare often it is expensive, and you don't even know if you'll like it. A lot of products offer travel sizes for normally $1. Not only are these perfect for travel, but they are a small non costly option to try something new. Almost like trying a sample.

LONDON STATE OF MIND


  The world is focused on the Olympics....I am focused on that beautiful freaking England! I am not one of those people who pretend I have loved something forever just because it's cool. My entire life I have had a fond love for the culture, fashion, people, and countryside nature of the English lands. It has always seemed like I could escape to another world by going to the other side of the pond.
  The extreme joy of wearing sweaters and avoiding the rain on a daily basis is worth leaving America for a few months at least. I love the idea of living in or near a small village town, with cobblestone streets walked everyday by commoners. Being able to walk into the village market, buying the families food fresh from the farm everyday. Is it the dream of having a simple earthly life over there? or the sense of togetherness they have in the UK.

DRUNK ATTACKER AT DISNEYLAND!

It is not like me to blog and insert a video. SO heck let's change that!
    IN my never ending quest to find humans messing up, or public scenes happening I came across this video of some crazy drunk at Disney Land. He was repeatedly pepper sprayed by security, and was using obscene language in the video. On top of a mad drunk, you have some Mom who obviously is not happy at the disgusting display this mans is portraying  in front of a crowd of people, INCLUDING CHILDREN. What children at Disney Land!?!?!?...I guess that guy would not have figured that out. I am not only sharing this with you because...well let's be honest it's hilarious, but I (believe it or not) got something out of this video. A moral, a theme if you wish to call it that! (That actually starts at the green square) In the video which you should just watch before reading this (PAUSES for you) IN THE VIDEO you hear the boys taking it as a joke, but others around being just as mad as the drunk. They have one (rather heavy) security guard attempting to control the situation, with the non-assisting bell hops just there to look silly. The mad drunk finally gets back up cursing, and throwing fists at the poor guy. The bellhops jump willingly into action!!!!!---by pushing the crowd back----not helping the guy being beaten down and hit---just saying "back up"--- After a while of the two going at it, the guard is pretty much embarrassed by the drunk, the whole video you hear that mad Mom screaming "SOMEBODY HELP HIM!" finally some Hawaii dude jumps in.
          The whole reason for posting this is to share what I got out of this. The security guard was obviously out numbered in terms of the mad mind the drunk had...yet through this people just sat back expecting someone else to jump in. I see things like this in school where students sit back and watch a fight, while the teachers jump in. Is it possible that we just enjoy watching someone struggle!? After watching this I have this sense of SUPERMAN in me! As a citizen you do your civic duty's for people...helping even if your not an employee somewhere means you have a delightful sense of humanity. I know the bellhops thought backing people up would diffuse the situation and prevent more guests getting hurt (MAKES SENSE) but don't you think it is sad that guests step in to help the guy before actual employees do? Disney Land is a good ole' happy go lucky family right!? Yet they are representing the one thing that makes this world corrupt, not sticking together as humans. If you see a person any where being bullied or hurt don't wait for others to step in, because often it can be too late. You have a civic duty to help others, if someone is being harmed you NEED to step in to help, it amuses me really how long it took for other guests to step in. The people in that crowd could have been hurt if the situation continued...that should be enough to know to step in. Don't be scared to help others out, often just like that security guard---people need it but they know they can't ask.

MY VERY OWN ALICE?

 
  If not for Twilight or Alice in Wonderland. I would have never found my love for the name. A divine liking have I taken for a girl with the name Alice. In every story I write or fantasy I conjure in my scrambled mind the girl is always relative to or exactly the liking of, an Alice. What is an Alice? Is an Alice of a friendly sort? Where is my Alice? 
  What is my dear named Alice, but a French derived name popularly lengthened by saying Adelais. A name bringing upon a girl the title of strength and nobility. Is Alice truly brave enough to go against her parents after following a suspicious rabbit down an abnormal sink hole? Has she been faint on the idea of realism or is she just a creative soul finding way in a rough world? I would cherish the day an Alice walks into my

LOL MOVIE THOUGHTS


"You can change your status, but not your heart"

     Their high school is built by brick, held together by a lovely courtyard, an dressed with societies most hipster fashions. The school they go to is my dream school...no joke. I will comfortably admit that I was a huge Hannah Montana fanboy. Seeing Miley Cyrus back on my tv in itself was a delight, but seeing her in this wonderful film was magical. This is one of those slow painstakingly sad background music teenager angst movies...and I freaking love those. This movie is like the 2011 "The kid are alright film" Although LOL is about a teenager girl...not lesbian parents. 0.0 
      Miley Cyrus as "Lola" was more than perfect casting! She is still a teenager to us, so her role was well played. I honestly felt her breakup with her movie boyfriend felt real, the after affects of fight and despair were felt in my heart. Then the overly handsome "Kyle" (Douglas Booth) sweeps in as prince charming and rekindled her idea of love. The most important element is the script in an film, an the  dialogue of this film isn't cliched (or I'd flip) the communication feels like how I'd talk to my friend. Not to be a spoiler here but there is obviously a huge fight with Lola and her mom, and I almost started yelling at the TV because I felt so in the room with them.

A KISS IN THE RAIN- The Cinderella Story


      In pretty much every romantic film they kiss and boom it's raining. I was intrigued when this happened recently while I was watching "A CINDERELLA STORY" What is it about the rain that makes everything 10 points higher on the scale of lovely?? Could it be that the rain forces us inside snuggled with a coffee and a good book? If anything the rain brings people together for a few minutes. Sending us to huddle together under umbrellas and shelters, snuggled in a blanket in front of monopoly. The rain makes outside games halt, tv go out, and recess go inside for games...rain really makes everybody comes inside and be with each other, and the things they love (like hot cocoa and a rainy window) Perhaps this feeling of comfort inside with the storming weather outside is like the comfort love gives us? Holding that other person makes the entire world fade away, your stomach fall numb to the floor, in a pure state of adrenaline you look over their shoulders...but only to find the stained window, streaked with the worlds downpour. The at home feeling of knowing when things go wrong you have that one person, apart from the rest that can tell you it's ok, looking you in the eyes without even saying words, their eyes read aloud the entire novel. This sense of relief brought on by love must be relevant to the soft fall of the gathering rain. Where does the rain come into play in romantic movie scenes!? -Comment below and share your thoughts!

KIM KARDASHIAN BIKINI PICS!


     Whoa! My girl Kim K tweeted this very revealing Bikini photo last week on her twitter. Although she definitely looks smoking, I am not posting his just to be an obsessed teen fan. I want you to take note at the two twitter hash tag in her "Pool time" twit pic #nofilter and #nophotoshop. Something we use to search the web for "CELEBRITIES WITHOUT MAKEUP"....oh gosh although I was that kid, isn't it pathetic we try to find people at their worst!? If you keep up with Hollywood you'll have noticed how comfortable Stars have become with their fans. Their declaration of love for the truth to their fans has been proven many times by the newly adapted, and fully purposeful "no makeup shots" Lady GaGa even put hers on the cover of a magazine! This shows a sunny side to celebrity fandom, all us crazy average people idolize these beautiful people, it can even become dangerous for many people. So seeing celebrities show there really is natural beauty in people, and lights and makeup are not what makes you beautiful is wonderful! (haha slipped a 1D quote in there) This level of comfort has even been embraced by a SEVENTEEN magazine who recently declared they will no longer Photoshop their models into beautiful figures but rather let their natural beauty shine. I know not if it is just me, but don't you feel like society now-a-days is becoming more comfortable with things than ever before? I feel like people have finally started realizing humanity can exist...this is good, a nice way to see things. Good luck World in your further adventures into a naturally embracing society.

THE SOCIAL OUTCRY


<<Those are all I see on Facebook now-a-days. A timeline full of terror, gay people being bashed, children born with birth deffects wanting confirmation they are beautiful, and half naked woman! 1/3 of that I am just randy with, but I go on Facebook to see what my friends are doing. I honestly do care about what someone just ordered at Taco bell, far more then seeing some brutal rape victim montage. The strive they have when posting these things about helping that person really seems to be inconclusive...in fact the "help" they are grabbing for seems to barely appear thru the complaints, and badgering from people commenting about how wrong it was to post this, or how one comment was rude. In the end you have thousands of adrhenaline fueled facebook whores

JUSTIN TIME TIPS week 2


JUSTIN TIME TIPS 2
  Yeah! This is the 2nd JTT therefore I have stuck to something!  This weeks tips are somewhat scrambled but here ya'll go!

















1) WEB:  Hold your pose when taking a pic...after 10 seconds you should know if you want to have that looked at forever online or whatever. I wish all the duck face, booty popped out bathroom shots from those girls used this tip before clicking upload XD

2) WEIGHT: You should drink a glass of water before a meal. Simply put: it fills the stomach, thus reducing hunger. If I could dig into the web for a second and tell you that in recent studies where a group of men were put on a low calorie diet for three months. One group drank a glass of water before their meals. That group lost 15 pounds as opposed to the 11 pounds lost by the non water drinking group...facts are fun! (hehe)

3) SNACKING: If your craving a late night snack, or even during the day I recommend you have a warm mug of hot cocoa. This is a personal experience tip, so no fun fact here. I don't know how or why it sort of fills me up...my greatest guess is the milk you put in it. Anyways try it!

4) HEALTH: Eat a dry bowl of salad (lite dressing if you must) while you do your laundry with the music on. You have to do laundry so why not make laundry time benefit you!? Turn on the tunes, and do a little jig while folding/putting away clothes. Trust me it passes time. The salad part is just to eat healthy, grab a piece of salad every shirt or every other.

CALL ME SHADY (maybe)


Hey this is crazy, I'm gonna blog this, don't judge me maybe? OK, I know it's horribly clich to even say the words call me maybe now...but I was just watching the video of Carly Rae Jepson performing her all too well known hit single "Call me Maybe" at Cedar Poitn Saturday July 7th...the day BEFORE I went to Cedar Point (ugh ikr right) Well I am not really here to drool over her, but the video moved me when I heard the WHOLE audience chime in and start singing along...(I am focusing less on the Carly aspect and more on the coming together as humans--strangers--.) Every once and a while the World has these small things that brings people together...Music in itself always seems to be one. It's amazing the powers a song can have on a person. Adele's hit album seems to describe every breakup any girl or guy has had moving them in a way that they don't feel alone, isn't it amazing how one person can bring together so many different people? Every person in those audiences have different skin colors, different hair, clothes, and personalities yet they all come together as Carly's fans. If we as humans can always come together as fans of one person, or one thing, can't we come together for the sake of humanity? The answer is indefinately yes, but do we always? ...unfortunately no. To shed some light on this you see the yes side to this arguement everyday thru the endless charities, and volunteering done by humans, for humans. It kind of confuses me how we need reason to come together...we need that one friend to break up our peddy arguements, we need that one song to bring strangers together, we need that one similar taste in things to make new friends...well here's something we all have in common, humanity. I think musics profund strentgh should be a first hand mascot to how humans CAN actually come together, maybe as a human you can reflect upon your decisions today asking yourself if you do what you can to help others, and brings strangers together...stranger danger doens't apply when it comes to leaving people out, maybe the Antoine Dobson remix of "Hide yo kids" ruined it for us all...hmm  seems Antoine Dobson single handedly raped the courage of every human to come together in fear of rape...on a non-joking basis, love everybody, and do what you can to come together at all times, not just when you need to...but especially when the going gets rough.
 Stay golden.

HOW TO GET YOUR BLOG NOTICED


      Being a lone blogger and vlogger it is basically up to me to market myself. So I rely heavily on the graphics and ads I make and post on Facebook...be real no one really reads status anymore when there's a picture by it. The one use for my image making is so people are engaged by my content, it's basically a tease of what is to come by going and watching/reading. The hook, line, and sinker for many businesses are online relevant ads they put out, or local newspaper ads. When it comes down to it you want an image that people will look at immediately. Using these few tips are going to make your photoshopped image look professional, and become the focal point of everyones social networking!

1) 3D: I'm not saying put in a message instructing them to put on their glasses (totally coming soon with the advance of 3D) but rather add dimension to your images. The most popular ads I see distributed thru many sites (especially Yahoo's homepage) are interactive hover over, or button click ads. These drive in a lot of people, but chances are you can't do these. So an easy way to mimic their effect is to add digital dimension. This can be done by things like layering objects over other objects, adding sparkle/fire/water effects, and making text or image have a shadow to provide a popping-out look to it. The different dimensions add a sense of modern attractiveness....3D effects help.
