It’s Just Justin

Market, House Party, Coffee Bizaar, SRJC and the Like

I headed out to the market after a vigorous workout to browse the kiosks. Apparently this happens every Wednesday here in Downtown.

Funny thing… I had been talking about wanting Lavender, well I got some!

It was there, right before me, $3.00 a bushel, $5.00 for two. I just got one, figured one should do the trick. I love my little lavender, makes me smile. It has a fabulous personality.

I also picked up a new bag. It is my workout bag and it is fabulous haha. It was a cheap buy and a perfect fit for my gym clothes and accessories.

We had a bit of a party here the other night. Wine, music and card games. It was mostly a great time. There was some unecessary drama at the end of the get-together. Alas, I guess nothing can be perfect. Even still, why not try for perfection?

Met some really great girls (yes!) and a great guy, Nick.

I did laundry yesterday, a LOT of work of laundry, and hit up the little cafe right next door.

There were two people working there, and three others dining. One of the workers came up to me, touched my back and told me that I was beautiful… I blushed like fucking Christian Dior! LoL! He looked very much like Jake Shears. He was really nice. I also met a great girl, getting her masters in Cultural Survey (Cultural Anthropology/Archaeology). We chatted for a little over an hour, had a great time there.

Last night I headed out to Aroma’s, bumped into some girls I had seen there once before and joined them to play pool. It was a pretty fun time, sadly this guy who I met last time I was with them came to… He was nice enough the first time, but ugh. The girls are trying to hook us up, which will totally not happen, for several reasons. First off, he is a republican and his views on the social efforts from the NAACP, SCLC and NWP are disgusting. Secondly, he is beyond a simple racist. Calling Arabs Ay-rabs (which is terribly derogatory) and speaking of how they are sneaky and forward, how you cannot trust them, etc. Thirdly, he does not value education. His ex boyfriend (of two years) was raised in a household that put education amoung almost everything else. His boyfriend was “Chinese” (which is the term he uses for anyone of Asian descent) and his reasoning for breaking up with him, “I was tired of eating fucking rice all the time”. The words he used… I cannot stand to be in the company of such people. He was ruining my night, so I stood up and walked away. Why do people like him exist?

On a lighter note. I hit up the SRJC to register for classes today. Had a few hiccups, hopefully we can smooth them out.

The campus is beautiful, secluded and yet in the middle of the city.

Time for the macro shot of some flowers!

After the SRJC I ran some errands around Santa Rosa and Sonoma, fun drive! Such beautiful landscapes are abundant out here. After that I headed to… Aroma’s! haha

They were roasting the beans today, oh the glorious smell of freshly roasted beans!

I met a really great gay couple there, two older men. I want them to adopt me! LoL! And then this hot hot hot computer nerdy, yet muscular jock type, guy came up to me. We chatted about my laptop, the future of java as a programming language, the power of Linux and its integration of ssh… It was a fun conversation. He gave me his numbas hehe. His name is David* and looked like a modern Michelangelo’s David*. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

Saw a funny sticker on a bike rack today.

I am about to move all of my images over to another folder. Thought of so many reasons to do so. It is going to be a bitch to do but, meh, who cares!

Nick is coming over to watch Garden State so I need to clean up a bit.

Oh, I had the most amazing ice cream (first ice cream since leaving Houston) at Coffee Bizaar. It was a berry blend, oh so yummy. Frozen yogourt actually… So I guess I still have not had ice cream hehe. Not since Columbia! My ice cream in H-Town was frozen yogourt as well.

Ok, I am done with this little update. Please vote for my blog over on the right. The two links are top two under the “I can’t get enough”. More votes I get, the more… well it helps my ego a bit hehe.

Oh, and another thing. I added a google.com ad on my site, meh won’t make money but makes me feel special. I found it interesting that for the past two days it has been advertising medicines for ppl who have sleeping problems. Too much or too little sleep. It totally knows me haha.

I am dying to get the Anna Nalick cd, thought I had it! However I did splurge and get the new Coldplay CD (gonna post my fav song from that) and some fabulous French music. Most importantly, I have been listening more closely to Rachael Yamagata, must post a song from her. These will be added laterz

I’m out!

Under Where?

So if you really know me, you know that I love fun or otherwise interesting underwear. Well I found my new brand, gotta get some of these! They are kinda expensive, about $40 a pair, but they are really cute. So are the models (especially the blond one!!!)

The Crazies Were Out

- - TRANSLATION OF THE NOTES - -

I must remember to keep a pad of paper with me at all times because I have just seen and heard exactly what great commentary books are all about today.

I totally just took a picture of the dynamic duo

Phantom is playing on my shuffle, appropriate I believe.

I am sitting at the St. Josephs Urgent Care Center to have my spider bites looked at.

Now I must quote the crazy lady (on the left in the picture)

“Excuse me, last time I was here I got a… a recipe, not a recipe but a prescription for some medicine. I went to Walgreens to get my meds but some were $35 so I could’nt get them. One of them I really needed, it was for the anal irritation… the other was for the pains in my ass, asspains. I think hemoroids. I really needed them, plus it itched.”

She then asked for a new prescription of the “ass medicine”

She is reading a bible held in a trapper keeper and the patient privacy clause (who actually reads that?).

She is insane and the woman nex to her is not far off. It is her mother on the right who’s psoriasis was cured through prayer… Her name is Brulia (the crazy girl). What an interestesting name.

“My fingers hurt in between”

She wants to get her mom new Thomas Kinkade jewelry just like the Thomas Kinkade jewelry she used to have.

Thomas Kinkade paints, he does not make bracelets and rings. The lady next to her bring this fact to her attention (not the mother, a really sweet older woman). I feel sorry for the poor thing!

Ok, so she just announced to us how embarrasing it would be if she turned and accidentially showed us…

She got mad at her Reeboks just now, she is taking them off, and her socks. She has begun to pick at her feet, blackened and cracked. She smells her feet.

AHHHHHHHHH

She thinks she has a foot infection, so she sniffs her shoes. She now informs the entire waiting room that she once owned hundreds of shoes and that she belongs to the YMCA.

Note to the YMCA, please don’t let your pets out without a leash.

Interjection from me… Tony Maciulis is so cute! He was just on MSNBC, totally cute haha. He looked better on my screen than this screen shot from forever or so ago. Anyways, he is cute to me and that is all that matters!

They are fucking crazy I tell you. She has hairy legs, belches, smells and has facial hair. Boy goodness she smells!

Her mom just left and is back again.

Outside she was telling anothe rlady that living in a fifth-wheel was no way to live (talking about some guy). ALso, she spoke of the tattoo on her upper thigh of a butterfly. It is a monarch (no it is’nt) which is her favorite.

Grrr

I don’t take too kindly to people who take my photos, and then those who abuse my bandwidth. I do find you and replace the photo linked with this one haha.

I forgot to write about this one…

The people in this van are in the _____ _____ Sound Machine. They were really cool, going camping just down the road from me. They are from San Francisco… Anyways, it was an interesting story when it happened a few days ago haha. Now… it is yesterdays news.

LMFAO!

LaughingMyFuckingAssOff

The guy from Carr’s today is right behind me. Holy cow haha.

edit/// so why do I have a knot in my stomach now?

double edit/// I grew balls and talked to the two really cute guys. Corey and Joel. Joel is from Georgia, goes to school at OSU. They watched the Charlotte Church music video with me. Awwwwwwwwe, how cute. haha. Being outgoing does not have to hurt, hmmm, learned a lesson!

“Date” at Carr’s

So he was really late… haha, nearly two hours. I left and then he called me to try again. He slept in, we were supposed to me at 12:00, he woke up at 1:00, that is a pretty big “sleep-in”.

Oh well, he is nice, really cute, but a little too… self involved. He told me right off the bat that it was one of his problems, for whatever that is worth.

We had a good enough time, talked for a couple of hours. He somewhat invited me to Aroma Roasters tonight at nine, he did not show up haha. Oh well, I met a really nice, beautiful, girl who just moved here from Oregon.

So, in other news, there are two adorable guys sitting at the table next to me. I really want to break into conversation with them, one is applying for a job at In-n-Out Burger (starting pay is $9.00/hr!!!, I am so applying for a job there haha).

I know they know I keep staring at them haha, oh well. If they wanted to talk to me they would right? I really want to wear a sign that says “I am new here, please talk to me”. How sad is that? LoL

I talked to my Dad tonight. He gave me the same old speech… “You know Justin, there is nothing you could tell me that would surprise me, I would never judge you for anything you did or whoever you are…”

When he said that tonight, I actually let out a little guffaw over the phone. I hope he did not hear it haha. We were talking about why our family has so many secrets and how stupid it was to hold secrets against your loved ones, if they really love you they won’t judge you, etc. I think my dad wants me to tell him everyday that I am gay, I really don’t get it. He knows so why does he keep getting back into that topic, as if he wants to talk about it.

Ok, so I totally just had an “in” to talk to these guys. They started talking about how amazing Charlotte Church is and how they have not heard anything from her in years… haha. They are singers, how hot is that?!

I totally passed out today around 4pm. I worked out this morning at 8:00, well there was traffic so I did not get there till around 8:40. I then went home, showered, got completely ready for the date, took a quick nap, and then headed out to the date… blah blah. Got home from the date (the second time) around 3:30, I did some emailing and then totally passed out on the bed. I woke up at like 8:00! I am going to have a fun time falling asleep tonight!

Speaking of singing, this morning and afternoon, before I fell asleep around 4:00, I was singing like a demon! I hit all the notes I tried and with such vigor. It was amazing, as if someone else was singing through me. It was so awesome, I could not stop singing. Then I fell asleep and, meh, allergies. Bah to that.

I really want to, well stop being so random, but also break into the conversation. I don’t want to appear like some crazy guy who eaves drops and there is the added problem that they are at a two person table with no room for a third person. I want to them say something really loud that I can use to bump myself into their conversation… haha. I am such a loser somtimes.

Anyways, I am going to pretend to listen to music for a bit.

Love out!

Jeez, visions on over drive

still awake…

i was chatting with a guy, i predicted his job, name and what happened to his partner. 100% accurate. I am not sure I am happy with that.

(what’s more… he did almost the same to me)

RE: The Facebook

I find it so interesting to go back in time. The idea is so intriguing, frightening.

I went back to my early days of thefacebook and my svg map of my friends on the site.

I was so excited back in mid december to see my friends…

I decided to check out my visualization now.

Christ-all-Mighty, what a difference. It is amazing how your social network can grow and change so much in such little time.

Behold The Power of Centrino

So when I got my laptop I was nervous that it would not be able to do everything my desktop could do.

Wrong haha. I am coding some css on my blog, watching a dvd (A Mighty Wind), burning music on iTunes, chatting on AOL, I have numorous tabs open in Firefox, I have Adobe Photoshop open with five images and then some…

I’ve got no strings to hold me down!

…cause ya know.. centrino is the wireless intel processor… no strings because it is wireless… like… ok, nevermind…
