The Picture Askew

I sit sedentary atop my golden throne damp from my shower...silently alone. My hair... moist as I induce my slippery comma of social media. I gaze ahead to simply ponder my thoughts, and I find the painting adjacent to my sight ...to be crooked...this I protest..is not right. I then ask myself...is this indeed crooked? Or is our perception in society taught in a form that is deceptive to anything beyond formal? This painting has flare..yet it is out of the normal. breaking the rules of symettry and turning it's angle horizontally. A Life lesson to be taught dramatically....lies? LIES to my mind that crooked it seems. Mocking my movements as it watches me gleam. ...who can conjure if an Ocean's wave is amassed when hurt you only compare to the water that lay idle next to it.
....How can I truely determine if this painting is crooked, when I myself cannot preach what is straight?   And this event ...the devils bait? Secummed?... I am, my story spoken true in poetry slammed. Society is wrong.
      It is for this reason, I thoughtfully commit treason. We as a people are judged on false pretenses. I conserve its ascew proportIONs. My once- ill ...thought is now a product of abortION. It seems romantic in a sense....let Life be tilted for some time...for then you may experience the thought of truely being alive, free of control by harsh standards. Loved for the love you convey- not the style you appear as today. .........This picture......---a testament to our faith  .to God? To others?.....to life.

I WANT FAME.

I have wanted to perform my whole life. And haha my family went through many of my in home shows x) I swore to be a magician. Singer. Clown. And a bus driver. I just always have enjoyed making people laugh and feel good if for just a few minutes. That is why I love being with friends...and why they love being with me. I am not some company formulated pop whore. I am just Justin. I just wanna be myself and let that be the spark in anyone who hangs by me. I dream of Arenas chanting my name. I want to be wanted. I want to experience what helping others is like when you can have enough to really change lifes. I want to feel what our pouring love is like. The theater exist to spare us of reality for some time and create what we cannot see...I want to have theater be my reality. I want to be a constant performance. Undoubtfully I see life as a fragile figure...you could die right now reading this. So why not have fun at every pause in todays stressful world. Why not perform what energy I convey? I want to be able to share myself to people..make them happy. I have no superstar quality in terms of looks. . .but perhaps that will be what makes me unique.

UPDATER HATERS


           So let’s be honest, I have not really written a real, worth a few bucks blog in ...well since summer vacation. I would be completely distraught by this realization..but I am not that worried. Fortunately I finally received my Galaxy S2 Epic 4g Touch (long title I know) so I am able to vlog and upload YouTube videos. I do say that vlogging is still technically blogging. What I really focus on is putting myself, and my opinions out there...what force compels me to do that? I don’t really know.
Typically teenagers shelter themselves, or post photos of them crying over some relationship...I am not that cliche teenager to all degrees however. I dare myself to put my image out in the public's hands. I throw my life around the web to complete strangers for the thrill of socializing. I care not who you are or what you are (excluding serial rapists) I wish to be your friend.
It is in my mind that I am so open and engaged because as a kid I was taught against talking to strangers...and if you notice how you always rebel against your childhood rules when you get of age to be bale to rebel. I have nothing better to do with my time then meet new faces or entertain the ones I have so lovingly known for ages.
If you persistently watch my social pages online I extend my most gratitude filled hug toward you. YOU are of the people that keep me feeling like I have a purpose in this world. When I have friends or even strangers coming up to me and saying they enjoyed something I did it fills me with an appreciation you could not even begin to understand.
I really wish I could be making great videos that are edited, and entertaining...I am gonna be honest here and not snuggle my way out here. We don’t have any web at home besides our phones. I am working on getting wifi and have had a few failed attempts..as soon as I get web at home 1) My life will be complete 2) I’ll get no sleep 3) I will get to pursue my dreams even further.
Yes, I am indeed a teenager, I have been down roads where you’re typically taught against and I have had some dark times too...even times where ending all the madness seem like a solid plan out. Through much stress and anxiety I still remain here, I still make videos for no mans land online, and I still get up every morning with a smile knowing I will inflict positive attitudes toward others through my actions.

Welcome...THIS IS HIGH SCHOOL.

Something I realized last year is that it's not always YOUR TIME just yet. I have a good vlog audience but am not famous- I have yet to gain the time and resources to become a great YouTuber. PERHAPS I have not gotten all I wanted yet- but truely I am not yet living...School keeps young adults in a locked vise until you grace that stage with a rolled up paper stating you faced 12 years of agony. To want all that those past high school are achieving is corrupt, you can't want what you don't have when you're not yet old enough, wise enough, and built enough to grasp it. THE complexity of life has yet to begin...we are all in the molding stage of what is to come. So fret not....new things will come...people will change...you will make something of yourself- right now does not represent your whole life...the lazy life of a teenager should not carry into adult hood. THIS IS HIGH SCHOOL....welcome to it's restricting powers that bind us- to later make us propser into self willing, ambitious adults.

JUSTIN TIME TIPS WEEK 7


It was the first week back to school for us Lapeer kids! So I figured I would puke our some more SCHOOL tips this week. We hate to have to go to school , but we hate it even more when school is hard, these tips should help make it a tad easier!

1)TALK: I have built a lovely page people are using to rant and have others help them with issues regarding school you can go to it and use it please! CLICK HERE

2)CLASS: To be prared for class you definately need binders, mosty teachers require it! Binders keep all your papers organized and in labelled places so you can find them easily. You may find them to be a pain at first (Freshman) but trust me they are life savers when you start getting a billion papers!

3)LOCKER: If you have a messy locker odds are your gonna be an emotional reck everyday. Your locker is the home to all your classes...an un-organized locker means an un-organized day. I recommend cleaning your locker after school at least once a week, it happens wether you like it or not, 5 minutes never seems enough in between classes. Put all BOOKS in the bottom to prevent breaking your binders, if you have notebooks put those next stacked nicely, then put the binders in a zig zag pattern so they hold each other up and not just slide to one side and go every where.

4)PEOPLE: We have all been there, you're in class trying to be a good student and work but you are distracted by what girl did which guy last night. I hate it, a lot of my class has not grown up at all over the past 3 years...my way of ignoring them is typically music (but be careful with that one)- if you can't put on music ask the teacher to go in the hall or library and explain how you cannot work in the conditions most of them will either accepting or get the class to be quiet. If worst comes to worst scream "SHUT UP!" ;)

5)GUM:   Never bring it to class, leave it in your locker....you can chew it but beware if you bring a pack to class you're suddenly the coolest kid in school.

6)CLUBS: Join them- instant social points.

7)HOMEWORK: Get  PLANNER  or some kind of homework sheet so you can always know and stay organized about it. I write it on my wrist instantly with pen and read it at my locker at the end of the day.

8) TOOLS: Lapeer Schools has begun using this NEW thing called the WEB! You can now see your individual classes page of your teacher and more. You can do so by going here for the list and links for EAST. Or if you go to any other schools you can go to the main site and hover over SCHOOLS tab and take it from there!

I'M A SOCIAL WHORE.


I YouTube, I facebook, I blog, I tweet, and now I Keek. For those of you who don't know I am a social whore. I am amazed how I do this all while using my non-smart little Reclaim slide phone. If I had my Galaxy sII already words can't describe the life I wouldn't partake in everyday. When I get my new phone I probably won't have much reason to talk to people in real life.  That being said I am really exicted to get that phone.
I mean I don't know about texting...I do text but not massively. I will be posting a lot of videos, photos, and statuses like a madman! Having a smartphone means having all the capabilities apps give you, and I quite frankly cannot wait for that!
Why do I like social networking so much? I guess it's the people. I like being able to have all these people I can express myself too, and show my crazy life I have without even knowing them! I don't even know these people yet they watch my videos, and comment on my stuff!? The entire social networking platform in itself is just really cool beans! I am feel pretty dandy about being able to partake in such activities everyday!
Not only do people see ma crap that i post, but they also see other peoples crap...it all is really crappy...but like in a good way...like instead of crappy it's crap-pie...you like pie if it's crappy...cause it's Pie...and pie is good no matter what.
My faovrite part of social networking is the ability to sit and see other peoples things they post because you can sit for hours and just be entertained, excluding the occasional mellow-dramatic relationship statuses. You're in high school girl expect to be played like a fiddle. Your able to find people hwo likes the same kind of things, and places. I just enjoy seeing what othe rpeople do when they get bored, it is all amazing how people who don't know each can come together and get to know each other!
Really you will never meet most of your social friends in real life, but honestly that leaves no room for awkward in person moments...like if you went in for a hug and they backed away awkwardly denying you.
That all being said, you now get why I love being a social networking whore, seeing things I never would otherwise, and sharing things people may find enjoyment from. I am so glad to be apart of this massaive array of human stupidity. Welcome to the world of social networking!

STAY COOL , BACK TO SCHOOL


If you're on your way back to school next week like me then you know you have a lot of things riding on you the next week. First impressions, acceptance, new classes, THE STRESS! I am here to provide you with my tips and advic eon how to rock it when oyu go back to school....how many of you are already sick of hearing "back-to-school". I have been annoyed since walmart cut my summe roff short by offer school supplies early on....thank you, I needed the reminder my sleeping in, gorgin on food all night, and doing what I want udring the day is about to end. (Sense the sarcasm)
1) 1st DAY OUTFIT:  I know your first day is the day you dress you're best in your eyes right? Mine too....until just the other day I realized, if we dress in an amazing new outfit the first day we set ourselves up to have to stay with the really nice outfit. How rediculous would it be to wear a nice cardigans with skinnys, then the next day rock out sweat pants...Be sure your look is moderately nice. The firts day, is your first impression for every new teacher, and student. I want you too definately stay true to your style (don't let your Mom shop for you) because you have to uphold the reputation you make the first day. My guide: 1st day: Nice outfit 2nd Day: wow them with a nice accesory 3rd day: break out a amazing outfit when you have more friends now to acknowledge it.
2) SHY, BUT NOT TOO SHY:  If you are a talker (like me) I would refrain from being so open the first day. A lot of excitment is on the first day, you wouldn't want to be that one hyper person in the class...so tone down your attitude and energy, focus mainly on school for the first few days, then as oyu find your place with people feel a bit more free with your choices.

3) JOIN CLUBS: If you hate reaidng don't join the book club just for the people...find a club you actually like because schools have a TON of great clubs that get you involved with the student body and school. These are great ways to get friends, and get your name in the scene at your school.

4) BULLIES: I don't want to give you advice and possibly end up getting you hurt...so I will say most times in most cases if your ignore your bullies remarks and realize how low they really are, you will feel better, and they will stop. You can't le tbullies beat you down when school is baout you, your friends, adn of course education, they have no space in your life... your reaction to them really does determine how they react to you.

JUSTIN TIME TIPS WEEK 6


JUSTIN TIME TIPS WEEK 6
I have been on vacation so tips have nto been on my mind as much. I provide oyu these minorly important tips for this week. :) Oh well here is this weeks tips!





1) TECHNOLOGY:  If you want an iPhones capabilities but no the price you should duck down form Apple and go with the Galaxy sII. I know there is an SIII out but the subtle changes, and OS in it ar enot all that much greater than the SII. In fact the changes ar enot worth the $100 more oyu will have to pay. After watching many videos the SII has actually been proven better then the iPhone. WHich makes sense, it goes faster, has the same camera, but also has a much LARGER screen, and the bets part is it's only $100 at most stores. If that is still too much go to places like Walmart or Radio Shack, you can get it for about $50!

2) FOOD: Get Nutella! It is a hazelnut spread that goes good on many things! I get the "Nutella to go" packs in thhe chekc out lane because it is a small snack that comes with mini breadsticks. it truely is delish! I am quite sure it is healthy as well.

3) HAIR: To get a textureized look as a guy I am using "Detour: Live wire- Fibers creme" it is going to give you Louis Tomlinson hair!

4) SCHOOL: If you are going back to school then take this big tip! You have to watch what you wear on the firts day! If you wow people it will set up an instant first impression reputation, and the next few days you then have to live up to that. (More in a blog after this)

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.

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.
