It’s Just Justin

I Need a Smoke, and Something Fruity To Chew…

So while driving around Columbia, while trying to get pics of this beautiful shot of the sunset… instead I saw this running along side my car.

And behind him…

Yes, that’s a zebra.

You know what?… All of a sudden, I felt like my life was lacking something. For the longest time I could not figure it out. I wondered if the relationship I’m not in (or am I), I wondered where my mom was at that moment, flying over the Atlantic to Europe… I even though about next semester and how I have two days until I can register my parking space.

But this still left me unfulfilled. I sang a few songs as I drove on home, I took a sip of my Schwepps Ginger Ale (new addiction) and while quite tasty, it did nothing for the new found void in my gut.

Then it dawned on me. All of those years of subliminal messages, all of those friendly cartoon characters telling me to smoke and chew gum, those repressed memories, came running out at full gallop.

I wanted a smoke and some fruit gum! Of course.

Do you remember fruit stripe gum? I remember it, obviously. I also remember the lick-n-stick tattoos that came in each pack of gum and how the gum, albeit very tasty, never lasted more than 15 minutes (great for return customers).

What zebra is fruit colored anyways? News print, yes, that’s the old joke at least; but fruit colored rainbow of an animal that looks far too much like a horse but isn’t… no.

And how many camels have you seen smoking tobacco? Me either. Now, I can totally see Joe Camel chewing tobacco, but smoking it, well that’s just not natural.

Well anyways, how many times have you been driving through your college town and happened upon a zebra AND a camel. I figured I should share my experience. Now I have to get ready for a movie. To see it, not to be in it.

That would be cool though…

For Lack of Words

iPhone Update

So we all should know by now that I have become obsessed with Apple products… and in such a short period of time!  Beyond the iPod, I had not owned an Apple product since… high school, sophomore year.  Now I have purchased two iMac’s, Airport Extreme, AppleTV, Airport Express and various iPods and Apple software.  Plus I rebuilt that iBook.

Well, I got this from Apple today.

Ok… now who’s excited?!

More of Nature

Latest three pictures from the other day of photographing Columbia after a good rain.  Everything is blooming now, life is coming back ot Columbia.  We are supposed to get another big rain today, hopefully it will have similar results!

Showers bring Flowers

I went around Columbia taking pictures the other day. Here is what I ended up with. Not all of the pictures have been uploaded yet, but as they are, I will post them here!

Cough Cough, Allergies

So, it turns out, I have really bad allergies.  I really never have allergies, however, this year, quite the exception.

Can we blame this on Bush too?

I have been working more at Starbucks, which is great since my 12 hours a month was really hurting my bank account, especially with my trips to New York, Washington DC, Virginia… Concerts, AppleTV, Airport Extreme, music movies and tv shows…  I’ve been doing my best to keep this country running, Bush told me to go buy stuff!

The weather, wrought full of allergens, truly is stunning this time of the year, even here in Columbia Missouri!  Too bad I slept through it today.  With closing Starbucks last night and having to be back at work in five hours, then class until three… I was pooped.

I took a nice, four hour nap after class and feel like a new person.  Listening to Patrick Wolf and sitting outside of Starbucks, life is good.

Good Gosh, More Random DC Pictures
