                <description><![CDATA[ Wow, five months since my last update.  A lot has changed.  I have changed.  Doing great with my contacts, looking good and losing weight.  Getting a new apartment with Denise.   Oh....Denise.  My beautiful bride to be.  She is funny, intelligent, caring, beautiful, and MINE.  Met online, and this time she lives near me!!  First date we sat in my car for three hours and just talked after the movie.  Just talked.  It was amazing.  I didn't want to believe that something would happen.  Been burned too many times.  I was on the verge of sabotaging myself when I said fuck it and just went for it.  I am more than glad I did.  We are moving in together in April, and I plan to propose soon after.  We are also having a baby.  Yes, you heard correctly, I am breeding.  MUAHAHAHA!  We just found out last weekend, she should be due around, guess when....Halloween.  *grins*  I want to thank all of you for being here for me.  You always supported me and kicked me in the ass when I needed it.  *grins*  I will announce when the wedding is and you are all invited if you can make it.  I will also post pictures of my spawn for you.  Well, that is all for now.  See you around, kiddos.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, since my last report I have gotten contacts, made some life style changes (lost 5lbs since the beginning of this month WITHOUT exercise), become more impulsive.  I've stopped worrying so much and am now just living my life.  I love my friends, and I love myself.  Getting a new apartment next year, which will be fun, and also looking into scholarships and grants for school.  I have also begun my book, the story of my life.  The title?  Grateful When The Autumn Lingers.  Starting from my somewhat interesting childhood and ending with my hopes and expectations for the future.  It will be an amazing book when I finish, I hope you all will read it.  So, in closing, the good times have finally arrived for me.  Thank you all for staying with me through thick and thin.  You mean more to me than my poor words could ever express.  I love you all.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ....what is wrong with me?  Why is it that no one wants me.  Or is it just the people I do want don't want me?  Then why is it on my last date she just up and leaves.  Doesn't say a word.  Just leaves.  No reasoning, we were talking, having a good conversation and she stands up and walks out.  No number, no see you later.  Am I that horrible a person?  There is someone who has expressed interest in me and then decides to shut down emotionally and leaves me out in the cold with my heart open.  Why?  Am I hideous to behold?  Is there some sin I have yet to attone?  Please tell me what I must do.  The rest of my life is fine, it always is, but is there no love for me?  No one to have and to hold, to lie in bed with and just talk about nothing?  I am waiting...how much longer do I suffer?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ With my birthday approaching at the end of this month, many people are now asking me "What would you like for your birthday?"  That question is both simple and complex in it's eloquence.  I want to be happy.  That is not something found upon the shelves of your local market.  What I want is something no one can give me.  I want happiness in my life.  What is happiness to me?  Personally it is that special someone to share my life with.  My hopes and dreams, my fears and nightmares.  That is not something anyone can give to me it would seem.  I have searched and longed and suffered alone my trials.  For all my questing alas, I am still so alone.  I give up, I withdraw my request for love and shackle my heart.  What use is it if I have no reason for it?  So before you ask me what I want, ask yourself: can you give me what I truly want?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I don't know how to tell you this, but I've developed feelings for you.  You'll never read this, and I will probably never tell you.  I want to love you, because this isn't love yet.  It could, one day, be love.  I care deeply for you, I want to see you smile and happy.  Remember how you asked me why I kept laughing and shaking my head while we were bowling?  It's because when you turned and looked at me with that smile...I thought I was going to break.  It is kind of hard to feel like this, knowing you're not ready for a relationship and that I need more than you can give.  I know I'm never going to find anyone, I will have to come to terms with the fact that anyone I would like to have a relationship with...it just doesn't work.  I want you to know that I would do anything to be the person that makes you smile like that.  That it would make me so happy just to hang out with you.  It will be painful, and I'll hurt like hell, but I'm not going to run away.  I'm going to be here for you.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, my vacation starts tomorrow.  Friday 13th.  Awesome, right?  Paychech for $1000 and then stimulus check for $600.  11 days no work.  Just sitting around the house not doing a damn thing...so bored.  In other news: Next month marks one year without sex. Without hugs.  Without kisses.  Without physical contact in any form actually.  Fucking sad really.  But I'm good, I'm getting back into the state of solitude slowly.  Soon I'll be back to being alone and fine with it.  So...my next vacation should be at the end of September.  What are YOU all doing then?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, today is the anniversary of the day Sonja and I broke up.  One year ago today I nearly lost my mind and went on a killing spree but those who truly cared about me talked me out of it.  I owe you all my life.  Thank you for standing by me and showing me that I can make it through anything.  This will be the only anniversary for my W.D.E. because it's not something I need to remember anymore.  It is over.  For those of you who don't understand, on May 25th 2007 Jason decided to send Sonja some stolen files and lies.  She left me for him, there is a lot in between I'm leaving out because they know what they did, and that was that.  Yes, we did reconcile and I proposed again but it wasn't the same after that.  I felt I couldn't trust her anymore and my instincts proved right.  I know I'll meet someone, and hopefully already have.  I'm just so tired of waiting, that's all I ever do.  <br /><br />Thank you all, again, for keeping me alive that day.  Cheers.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been having a recuring nightmare these last few nights.  I in a desert of pitch black sand under an endless sky of white.  I'm crying and feel so painfully alone that I start to scream.  No one responds and I stay alone, in this ebon colored desert of my own design praying for someone to appear.  And you wonder why I don't sleep well...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, yesterday evening I went to my first ever real concert.  In a stadium with actual known bands.  Seether.  Breaking Benjamin.  Three Days Grace.  What a rush.  The opening band wasn't much, we sat through that one, but when Seether took the stage...wow.  Singing WITH the actual group is a whole nother ball game than singing with your radio.  After Seether came Breaking Benjamin, amazing.  These guys rock I tell you.  The pyrotechnics were off the wall and they had energy to spare, specially when they started chucking water bottles into the crowd.  *laughs*  Three Days Grace I didn't get to see because of leaving early from lack of sleep.  All in all I rather enjoyed myself and plan on going out more often.  I dealt better with the crowd than I thought I would as well, not once did I attempt to hurt anyone!!  So, in conclusion, I can't wait till the next concert rolls through town.  Anyone want to come mosh with me?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, first weekend off in quite some time...and everyone cancels on me.  Yet more time alone.  *smirks*  Car is back, cheaper than expected.  Everyone is either sick, having relationship problems, or busy.  So...I'm am so incredibly and completely bored out of my skull.  I need a third job....something to keep me from sitting down and having time alone to think.  Like I'm doing now.  Dangerous thing this thinking is.  *frowns*  Well then...I've really got nothing else to say.  Yup, that's about everything.  Me+time off= teh suxor.  My vacation is probably going to consist of me...sitting in my house, doing lots of nothing.  I lead such an exciting life.  *laughs*  So...you're still reading, huh?  Hm.  I don't really have anything else for you.  Honestly.  I mean I've been getting in contact with all my friends again, and have gotten a few phone calls.  Did I mention I really like talking on the phone?  I know I don't call people often, but I do enjoy a good conversation now and again.  Maybe I'll go see a movie today.  Not sure.  I've really nothing else to do.  I'm either extraordinarily boring or everyone is just busy.  I have a few chat windows open...nothing going on in any of them.  Silence....yup.  Quiet.  Everyone here is sleeping.  Of course.  Bored bored bored.  I honestly have nothing to do.  I've cleaned my place, I've showered.  I've eaten.  I need more friends.  Or at least active friends who won't just blow me off or ignore me or decide they don't want to talk to me anymore.  Is there a mail order cataloge for that somewhere?  Maybe I'll go read something.  But I haven't seen anything that caught my eye.  Just finished the Divine Comedy.  Went looking for a kitty today and of course there are no pet stores so I had no luck even seeing a cat.  I will have to go to the humane society, and they are almost never open.  Well wouldn't you know?  They ARE open today.  Suppose I'll go see the kitties today since I can't find anyone who wants to come with me.  Well, dear reader, this journal is at an end for the day.  Thank you for reading, the exits are behind you, please pick up your litter and place it in the proper receptical.  Remember to tip the staff, they are a lovely group of people.  I'm here all week, see you soon.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, as you can see by my new pictures, yes my hair is short again.  I think I like it short.  More to do with it.  Now I just have to get it evened up.  *snickers*  So, brother got arrested the other night for DUI.  Dad bailed him out and he's home.  I personally think he should have stayed in jail, teach the bastard a lesson.  Also, my bank account has been frozen.  Can't get any money out.  Lovely time I tell you.  Let's see.  This weekend I'm supposed to be going out, and of this printing I still am.  <br /><br />Other than that things are going fine.  Probably going to get a new kitty on my vacation, seeing as how I don't have anywhere to go for my vacation.  Two weeks paid vacation, and my passport, and I'll be spending it alone with a kitten.  Underage pussy....*snickers*  Not my ideal vacation.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Whee.  Note the lack of enthusiasm, ya?  *grins*  Tired, oh so tired.  Haven't had much sleep between friends, family, and jobs.  Fun times though, haven't had this good a time in ages.  Took Heather to lunch today, going to Red Lobster next month, going to the bars at the end of this month with Kate.  Not sure who'll show up.  Gotten back in touch with everyone I hadn't spoken to in almost a year.  *blushes*  Still sorry about the sudden disappearance and all.  All in all things are going wonderfully well.  OH!!  Got a cell phone.  Always said I'd never get one, cause honestly I never call anyone.  So...I got one and bam, now I have lots of people to call and/or text.  <a href="http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?device=BlackJack(TM">[link]</a>)+II+by+Samsung&q_sku=sku1140027  That's the link to it. *laughs*   Ok, I'm on lunch from work so I'd better get ready to go back.  It's good to be back again.  *bows and fades away*<br /><br />PS  Got my hair chopped off in a horrible styling accident. *winks*  Pictures to follow.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I love the snow.  The way it erases the past, puts down a new layer for the future to be written upon.  I feel like that right now.  Cold, the snow covering my path forward and behind.  But I'm not lost.  Not hardly, because I still have a star to guide me, a star to light my sky, a star that I will journey towards.  My star has a name.  And she knows it.<br /><br />Oh, by the way, sorry about not being around.  I've been busy with two jobs and such.  *grins*  Anyway I've missed most of you.  *laughs*  Life is doing fine right now, there are some complications but I know they will work themselves out for the best.<br /><br />My star; if you're reading this right now...I'm here and I'm not going anywhere.  A friend to talk to, a shoulder to cry on, a back to ease your burden.  I'm here.<br /><br />Goodnight all, let the silence of snow surround you.<br /><br />Justin<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just spent the last 4 hours in the emergency room.  I'm fine, but my dad isn't.  He refused to stay the night and signed himself out against doctors orders to come home.  He went in because his elbow was bothering him and then....he had a mild hearattack.  Doctors wanted to run more tests, MRI's, blahblah...he refused.  Thinks he's as strong as a bull but he's dumb as an ox.  His heart is in bad condition as it is....scar tissue and God knows what else is wrong.  He's dying, I know this, he knows this, the doctors know this.  And honestly I don't know what to do anymore.  He doesn't listen to a damned thing I say, he won't stay in the hospital long enough for them to do anything.  Then again he was there four hours and they didn't do anything either....*sighs*  I've called in to work to stay home and keep an eye on him incase...<br />
<br />
Stressed to max here...he pisses me off when he does shit like this.  He's so worried about my three younger brothers.  Fuck, they're grown up now, have kids of their own.  And all I can do is nothing.<br />
<br />
I've had three Rip It's and 4 Zantrex-3, I can taste colours and feel my eyeballs vibrating right now.  None of my brothers seem to care anything about what's going down.  Can't sleep because he may kick the bucket.  I just don't know.<br />

Oh well...I'll do all I can for him while he's still here.  Sorry to be a downer guys, I'm still doing great myself.  I leave for Chicago day after tomorrow....I think.  I'm leaving way early so I know I get to the airport on time.  Hope they don't miss me too much at work tonight.  *laughs*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, in the last few days my page views have jumped by about oh...250 or so.  And rising.  Wondeful!  I wish the critics would actually post something productive and not try and...be childish.  I appreciate my critics, they help me develop my style and show me what works.  I know not all of what I write is accepted or liked, but that's a given.  But lately some of the comments have made me bust out laughing so hard...for a while my ribs hurt like I was being stabbed.  Anyway, thank you all for coming and reading my writing.  I know the value of a good critic, and I know that some of what I write is really good, and some of it is written out of emotions before I can stop it.  Seriously people, I actually do have times where I have to write something down or burst.  Or I'll start reciting things off the top of my head.  Some of it was brilliant and lost to the ether.  Some of it was garbage brought on by others.  As far as the whole 'emo' things goes...cute.  But so long as you read what I write, I don't much care what you think of me unless you're being constructive.  Then we can talk.  <br />
<br />
IN OTHER NEWS: Hm.  Just started reading a new series.  The Vampire Huntress by L. A. Banks.  I'm kind of iffy on it at this time, I like the depiction of some of the supernatural things but the writing itself is grating my nerves.  I'm open to suggestions on what to read though so just drop me a line and a title.  What else....Vacation starts in TWO DAYS.  Going to be interesting to say the least, but I fully intend to enjoy myself.  *grins*<br />
<br />
One last word; hope.  Remember it, seriously.  I've been going through my old journals, here and in my home, and I see how much I've changed.  How much I've survived.  Hell, half my books still smell like fire.  It's amazing I've come through so intact.  I also want to thank everyone for there comments during those times.  I may not have let it show much, but it meant a lot to me that you cared.  Even when I seemed not to.  It's hard to be apathetic when you want to help.  <br />
<br />
Ok, now I need to get my tamers whip and a club and get back to the comments...*grins*  Back into the belly of the beast!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ .....I think I'm going nucking futs.   *smirks*  I've got the opposite of a writers block, I've got so much going on in my head right now it's amazing.  Last night at work was great fun, I missed being out with the people.  And boy....there are some people who come in there...*whimpers*  Heh, there was this one, when they saw her they HAD to come get me.  "She's SO you."  What the hell?  When did I start digging on gothic barbie dolls?  But I have to admit, she was hot.  Then while I'm standing at the service desk waiting for the time to leave....one of them asks another "Would you sleep with Justin, it's been three years."  !?  I could have beat her ass all over the store...With friends like that, I'm not sure how much longer I'll be alive.  *laughs*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ozone warning today.  Yay for flash frying an egg...*laughs*  Rundown on how things are going:<br />
<br />
Sonja arrives soon, have to get things together for the hotel room first.  Probably just a change of clothes, maybe some toys (Uno cards, Tarot cards...)<br />
<br />
New keyboard, mouse, and printer.  What can I say, all my debt is gone and I get paid.  *sparkles*<br />
<br />
Dad is getting worse...he's refusing surgery and so far both doctors have said he'll be in a wheelchair in two to three years if he doesn't have it....though there is only a 20% survival rate TO the surgery so I understand why he won't.  He's getting sicker and there is nothing I can do.  There is nothing so frustrating as watching a loved one wither away.  Physically.  Mentally.  Emotionally.<br />
<br />
....that last bit kind of kills the mood doesn't it?  *smirks*  On a brighter note he just received a....thank you note? from the Government for his time in the service.  The funny part is they are denying he was ever IN the service....X-Files stuff right there.  Father was a Navy SEAL in Vietnam.  He's the one who taught me to fight...and where I get most of my temper.  But I handle mine a hell of a lot better.<br />
<br />
Hm.  Not much else to say.  Looking around to see what I can do to save up for a NYE party in Oz.  Thinking about getting a credit card *SHOCK* just to pay for a plan ticket down there.  It's actually based on the same plans I had to MOVE down there...*laughs*  Ah well.  Anyway, I'm off to the library and hopefully I won't melt under this bright firey thing in the sky.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ You know what I want to do?  I want to dance under a full moon down by the river to Moonlight Sonata.  I love it.  It is my favorite piece by Beethoven.  I can listen to it and picture the perfect night sky: a pale moon large in the sky, whispy clouds creating shadows, the stars twinkling ever so slightly, and the scent of a fresh rain.  .....I think I'll do that.  *laughs*  Any one want to dance with me?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
EDIT:  ......Ever dance with the Devil in the pale moon light?  *dies laughing*<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Ok, less than two weeks till Sonja gets here.  SO excited, you don't even KNOW!  I've got many things I want to show her, so many places I want to take her to.  There's an open air concert during the Freedom Festival.  I've never been to the Festival, so this will be new to me too.  God, how long has we been planning on meeting now?  Almost three years now.  We've seen eachother go through a lot, and hopefully a lot more to come.  *smiles*  Remember, love, I'm always here for you.  And you'll always have a place here if you need it.<br />
<br />
In other news:  The revolution has been put down!  Yes, my two cats attempted to take over my bed, but I have repelled their attacks with my cunning plans...I kicked them off....*snickers*  Hm, work is getting better, my last paycheck was for about $730.  *grins*  I love not being in debt.  Also I'll be out of the 'coffin' soon.  The person I've been covering for is better now and coming back, I'll only have to be in the cash office two days a week now.  It may sound fun at first, being surrounded by cash...but it's not, least not for me.  I miss being out there helping people.  OH!  On that note, I'm also getting back in school.  Looking around for scholarships and grants now, shouldn't be too hard considering.  *sparkles*  I'm THINKING my major will be primary teaching, possibly with a minor in child psyc.  What else is there?  Oh, lots of love to all my friends.  You guys are amazing, really you are.  Hmm....mind is restless right now, flitting from one thing to the next.  I finally found the truth, the answer I've so long sought.  I'd try and tell you what it is...but I can't because to understand what I'd tell you you'd have to know in the first place and that really just negates me trying to explain it, doesn't it?  Ask Trisha.  <br />
<br />
SO!  Yeah, that's where I'm at now.  Sonja is coming to stay for two weeks of fun.  Bills are all caught up, the only worry I have is if all this excitement makes me explode.  Bits of Justin EVERYWHERE!  *laughs*  <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There is one last thing....I need to ask one of you for forgiveness...I've done wrong by you and I really wish to talk to you again but I don't know how to go about doing that.  I never meant to...you know.  If you do read this, contact me, ya?  I hope to hear from you, because I truly do miss you.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The following is a personality test I took a while back.  I answered all the questions honestly.  Take a look:<br />
<br />
<b>Introduction to Agreeableness</b><br />
This section of your profile describes your interactions with other people. The ways we communicate our feelings, beliefs and ideas to others are influenced by our cultural backgrounds, the way we were raised, and sometimes which side of the bed we got up on this morning. Some of us are very mindful of others making decisions we hope will be in their best interests, even if it means sometimes neglecting our own interests. Others of us believe each person should be responsible for themselves, taking deep pride in our own character and independence with a firm belief that others are best served by doing the same. The following describes how you engage with others; illustrating the dimension of your personality that determines your independence or your desire to reach out and touch others in meaningful ways.<br />
 <br />
You are best described as: CONSISTENTLY TAKING CARE OF OTHERS <br />
 <br />
Words that describe you: <br />
 <br />
Sympathetic <br />
Trusting <br />
Altruistic 	Selfless <br />
Tenderhearted <br />
Compassionate 	Straightforward <br />
Deferential <br />
Generous 	<br />
	 <br />
 A General Description of How You Interact with Others <br />
"What can I do for you?" These words probably feel very natural to you. More than most people, you are genuinely interested in the well-being of others. If they are in trouble, you offer compassion and go out of your way to be helpful. If they need someone who will listen, you are attentive, trustworthy and sympathetic. And you are direct with them; when they need advice or counsel, you offer it in as straightforward and direct a manner as you can.<br />
<br />
There may even be times when you put others' needs in front of your own. And you do so without the expectation of some reward or recognition. Yours is a different kind of compassion; you are genuinely tenderhearted and take pleasure in helping others while expecting little or nothing in return. For you, it's not tit-for-tat, you truly want to do things for others that will better their lives. You mean it when you ask, "What can I do for you?"<br />
 <br />
Negative Reactions Others May Have Toward You <br />
Though your motives arise from genuine compassion, some people might think of you as "a little too good to be true." They could suspect that your kindness is something you use to ingratiate yourself with others or to get them to like you. Others may suspect that your altruism is a mask for your own problems; you take care of others but never let others get to know you well enough to offer you their care. Some of this suspicion may be genuine; they just can't believe you're this kind. But it may also be triggered by envy; people see in you a tenderheartedness they don't find in themselves, and it makes them uncomfortable so they take it out on you with their suspicions.<br />
<br />
Another critical response others may have may be something you want to take a serious look at. If you spend your time taking care of others, you may not have enough left to take very good care of yourself. If you're always asking, "What can I do for you?", you may not focus enough on your own needs. You're so busy taking care of others that you neglect yourself and empty your reserves of energy and good health. Like we said, give it consideration and if it doesn't fit move on.<br />
 <br />
Positive Responses Others May Have Toward You <br />
For the most part, people will feel gifted to come across someone like you. For those you help, you will be light in the darkness, a hand up when they've fallen into a ditch. Your true graciousness and selflessness is rather rare these days and is often a breath of fresh air in this all too often dog-eat-dog world. Others will see in you the kindness that each of us seeks in life, both in our own characters and in our relationships with others. And you will become a model of that honest compassion; someone others may even look up to. Hopefully that feels okay to you.<br />
 <br />
<b>Introduction to Openness</b><br />
How firmly committed are you to the ideas and beliefs that govern your thinking and guide your behavior? Some people trust their current ideas and beliefs the way a climber trusts the mountain; whichever way they move, whether the climb is on a familiar trail or over new ground, there is something solid beneath them, something they count on. <br />
<br />
For others, new ideas, new solutions to old problems, new beliefs that replace tired convictions are like welcome wind in their sails. They can hardly wait to tack in a new direction and ride a new idea through uncharted waters. If it's new, it's interesting, and they're ready to explore. <br />
<br />
The following paragraphs describe your responses to new ways of thinking and believing. How do you handle new information? Are you more like the... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Let me tell you a little about something that happened to me today.  Since about Wednesday I have not eaten or slept until today.  Stress, worry, a lot of factors in that.  So today everything came it a head, well yesterday I suppose it is now...Sunday.  I couldn't take any of it any longer.  I was at the point of actually writing out a plan to murder a man.  Today showed me who really cares about me.  <br />
<br />
I left home about noon or so and drove to the Roofless Church in New Harmony Indiana.  If you live in or around there....you know what I mean when I say that small town is beautiful.  And the Church?  It is the only place I've felt at peace in a long time.  I go up there at least once a month to talk with God.  Now a lot of you don't think I'm all that religious of a person.  You're wrong.  I'm very religious.  It's just that my views are far broader than most.  On my way up there I was thinking and praying.  Listening to a mix cd.  66 songs, four hours of music.  *grins*  Just when I thought I was going to give up Keep holding on starts to play.  Made me smile.   Then some other things happened....<br />
<br />
There are things about me that I don't like to talk about.  Some because I don't want to, some because I was asked never to talk about them.  I never break a promise.  Anyway there is a small town called Solitude on the way to New Harmony.  I once knew a man from Solitude.  He meant a lot to me, and he showed me a lot of things.  When he died I promised him I wouldn't speak of how or why....I also promised him I'd control my anger, curb my temper.  When I was in my late teens I was...bad.  *shrugs*  So I made the promises....but you can never try to completely contain any part of you.  It just makes things worse.  I became far too easy going, and let too many people walk all over me.  <br />
<br />
I stopped by the cemetary where he is entombed.  And I begged his forgiveness and that he let go of that last promise I made.  Got back in my car...and continued up to New Harmony.   I started crying and then....two raindrop hit my windshield.  Clear blue sky.  And just those two.  Nifty eh?  Now I know some of you will be reading this and thinking bullshit.  That's ok, believe what you want.  I know where my faith lies.  And I know that I have been forgiven...and that now....now I have no bindings to hold me down.  Let's just hope 9 years is long enough to learn some control.  *winks*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, here is the deal.  My bills are caught up.  My garnishments are done.  The woman I love is coming here next month.  And this new kitten is a freak.  Here comes the heartattack!  *snickers*  I've been laughing and smiling so much lately I think it's making me physically ill.  Too much sweetness or something.  *laughs*  So, yes, things are going really good for me, and for the foreseeable future as well.  So finally I am being repaid for all the pain and misery of my past.  I like it, I really must say I do.  *grins*  So...sorry to everyone who loved the sad and depressed Justin.  Oh, he's still here, but he's umm...happy.  And you can't be happy AND sad and depressed, can you?  Hm...another journal mayhap.  Go me!  And I think I may have a new favorite quote: "Love does not doom...it only saves."<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ No, I'm not being emo.  No, I'm not seeking pity.  But those two statements may make it seem like I am.  In honesty I just want to explain a few things to those of you who don't really know me.  If you do know me, then you really don't need to read this but you can if you like.  I have found my love, and I have found my reason to smile.  Have you?<br />
<br />
You've had your friends...<br />
I've been left alone.<br />
You've had your birthday parties...<br />
I was ignored.<br />
You've had your graduation parties...<br />
I grew up too fast.<br />
You've had your love and lost it...<br />
I watched my heart turn to stone.<br />
You ask me why I am the way I am...<br />
I am who I am to survive.<br />
You wonder why I'm so sad all the time...<br />
I wondered when I'd have a reason to smile.<br />
You...<br />
Me.<br />
Live the life I've lived, see the things I've seen, do the things I've done. Then think about how different our lives have been. I know. And I don't need to prove I do. Your belief or disbelief does not alter who I am. I will be me no matter what you think, there are sparse few who care enough for them to mean anything to me.<br />
So before you jump to conclusions about me, before you think you know what I am about, stop. You don't know. You never will. I'm not going to share anything about my past anymore, the door is closed. You had your chance. My truths are more fantastic than your lies, and harder to believe for that fact. I am truly sorry you can not come to terms with that, honestly. Because everything in my life has led up to this point. The good. The bad. The painful. And I am. Who I am.<br />
<br />
Do YOU know who I am?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, here I am thinking my garnishment is almost over.  By what I was told at the beginning I owed 2417.23.  I've paid in, to date, 2221.04.  But no....I call to see if they stop automatically garnishing or I have to fax or call or something....they tell me I still owe $1000.  Umm...ok, I ask what I've paid in.  $2221.04  WTF?  But I was told at the beginning I owed only 2400?  "Well, this is the interest, which is added daily."  Does that really make sense?  How am I supposed to pay off something that keeps adding up?  Dear God give me the strength to not start sending letter bombs...So, looks like another year or so of trying to catch up on the rat race.  Go Justin....woot....<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My cousin, Angel, was diagnosed with a tumor in her liver in 1998.  I remember hearing the news, seeing the posters in school about her, and even seeing her.  Now it's gotten worse.  She needs a liver transplant.  It's really sad when you start to get used to the people around you leaving and dying.  When the people you care about just drift away by choice, or are torn from you.  I sit here, alone, thinking about things like this.  I wish there were something I could do for Angel, but there isn't.  All I can do is pray, and hope that for all the bad that's happened in MY life, something good can happen for her.  That all pain I've suffered could somehow change fate and help her.  I don't know, maybe I'm being silly...I just can't keep losing everyone I love...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't want to be alone...not again.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So, last check my temp was well above my normal 97.  102.1.  I'm waiting to hit the 103 mark, cause then I start to hallucinate.  "Why don't you see a doctor!?"  I can't afford to.  I can't miss the work, I can't pay to be seen, can't pay for tests, can't pay for medicine.  Besides, I know doctors, "Hm, well, you seem fine to me, but let's run some tests.  Until then bedrest and plenty of fluids."  Umm...duh?  I'm popping NyQuil and DayQuil like mints trying to break this fever, if it goes up too high I'll take an ice bath....those are fun...*smirks*  So, if I start to hallucinate I'll try and get back on so you can all laugh.  *winks*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I was asked again the other day what I want.  My answer is quite different from what it once was.  I want a future.  I want to see my children succeed and marry and...everything.  I want someone to hold me when I'm not feeling well, someone that out of the blue comes up and gives me a hug and a kiss, then just wanders off, leaving me in awe.  I want someone to lie with me and watch television, someone who can sit in the same room as me and not make a sound and that be alright, because we don't need to speak to know the love is there.  Someone to talk to about anything and everything for hours, or nothing at all and just hold eachother under the starlit sky.  Someone who won't hurt me and who knows I would never hurt them intentionally.  Someone who makes mistakes, and also forgives my own.  The woman I want isn't perfect, far from it.  The woman I want just has to be herself, and love me for being me.  I hope that woman knows I'm talking about her, because I am.  I will spend the rest of my life with her, because that is what I want.  And, this one time, I pray to God that I...just once...get what I want.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well then, another year has passed.  The last one ended rather badly for me, and so far this year isn't looking like it will be much better based on how it has been so far.  I'm hoping to have Sonja visit in June, not sure yet if she will though.  Also found out it will be vastly cheaper than I thought to move to Australia if I go.  All hinges on how this year goes.  I find it odd how I feel so detached, like the things happening aren't happening to me and I'm just observing them from third person perspectives.  Could be because of last years ending, and I'm hoping it's not something permanent.  I just feel so damned dead inside and I really don't have anyone to talk to about it.  With some I'm afraid to bring up the subjects, with others there isn't a point in it.  And everyone else?  I don't really feel like recounting what happened/is happening anymore.  It's happened, it's happening, it may happen again, whatever.  I like who I am.  At this point in life I'm fairly satisfied with what I have, but I do hunger for so much more.  I am the only person I have to answer to, but damn am I a harsh judge/critic.  Well, here is to hoping something gives this year, and soon.  Cheers love,<br />
<br />
Justin.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hold me, make the world around us fade away.  Touch me, fill me with desire and warmth in this cold land.  Need me, make me feel loved and wanted make me feel alive again.  Hurt me, and I am gone like the shadows of a parting night.  Ignore me, and suffer a life without me.  Forget me, and let me fade into solitude.  Alone.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ For those not in the know, a few years ago there was discovered a tumor in the center of my brain mass.  The conditions it were found under were a nose bleed that relieved the pressure of a headache.  Since the day it was diagnosed I haven't had any nose bleeds.  Until today.  I was at work and I went to blow my nose and at first I thought I had used a holiday napkin because it was so red.  Anyway I hope it's just from the dry air due to heaters and nothing serious.  On another note I had a kind of interview for a job and hope to hear from another sometime soon.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Take the time to listen and talk things through.  Understand where the other person is coming from, put yourself in their situation.  As the saying goes 'walk a mile in their shoes'.  Sometimes things that seem the same are different to people.  Love, by its very definition, is confusing to most.  Like myself.  It can mean so many things and it can be dangerous to assume you know where you stand.  The stable ground of today could be tomorrows quicksand.  You have to be able to know where the other person is coming from.  Ask questions, find answers, listen.  And above all, know the truth before you start to respond.  Listen first, then respond.  Do not begin to verbally assault someone before you know what you are talking about, you will look like and BE an ass.  Sometimes the best path is just silence.  Let them speak until they are finished, take time to assimilate the data, and then make a statement.  Hurtful words cannot be unsaid, and the voices inside can leave you for dead.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Pain, a warmth in the dead of winter.  Blood, crimson in the white of snow.  A scream, sound in the soundless wasteland.  One and all we need to feel.  To feel the physical.  To feel the emotional.  To feel.  Alive.  When left alone that can be difficult, and there are few options to turn to.  Pain.  I've known cutters, and I used to myself.  Hate.  To turn against those you see as wronging you. Fear.  Of being alone, of always being alone.  Anger.  The blood fueled fire that rages and screams for release.  And. One. Last.  Way.<br />
<br />
Memories.  Of love, of tears, of joy.  Memories can sometimes sustain us.  Prolonged use of memories can lead to delusional behavior, being trapped in the past.  When left alone for too long...no one should be left alone.  No one.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Take the time to watch the sunrise.  Alone, or with someone, it doesn't really matter.  Just stop.  Watch.  See the colours flowing through the air like a lattice work of light and shadow.  Deep purple flaring into a dark red to fade into a lighter shade.  Beautiful.  Sometimes we take things for granted.  The sunrise.  Birds.  Flowers.  People we love.  Don't.  Show love, show appreciation.  Share the sunrise, feed the birds, smell the flowers.  Tell the people you love that you love them, let them be there for you if you are down.  Let them be there if pain or strife or a million other things happen, they can help.  Don't let them slip away because you ignored them...because you made them feel as if you didn't care anymore.  Because love lost is not something you can find again.  Love is different each time you find it, no two ever the same.  Remember that.  Snowflakes are beautiful, delicate, different...but in time...they too disappear.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Sometimes the harsh things we say can never be taken back.  And sometimes sorry just isn't enough.  Words can wound in ways no doctor can truly heal and no medication can treat.  With all the hatred and pain in out world today there are times when kindness and a smile will give hope to those who have lost their way.  Be a beacon of light in this cold harsh existence; guide the weary, the hurt, the downtrodden.  Show them hope and let them know joy even if for only a moment.  Because a moment can make all the difference in a persons life.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So, just got back from the eye doctor and in about 2 hours I'll have two brand new pairs of glasses for $180.  I spent about half an hour working on my car stereo and I'll be able to install it when I get the last part of my dash and my window is fixed, if not tinted.  Right about now I'm looking for something bad to happen, we'll see.  On a brighter not I've never seen my pupils SOOOOOOO big.  Heh.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Look me in the eyes and tell me what you've told me all these times before.  Look me in the EYES and tell me, let me see for myself if those words hold false.  Look me in THE EYES and I will know for truth or lie.  If you don't know what I'm talking about, this isn't meant for you. Tears worth crying deaths worth dying leave the world on baited breath until the last note falls from the sky like a falling star to wreak havoc among the masses.  Blood and bone, sheared by stone, and mercy that is more pain than you know.  Forgotten whispers of dark delight, hell bent fury on a windless night with the howling hounds of Nod to sing you to sleep.  I come for you in the dead of night upon moonbeams of fragile make to twist your dreams into foreign shapes and bend you to my design.  Death eludes those so trapped and the hollow screams do nothing to satisfy.  A thorn covered rose with beauty so bold to cut so deep, down to the bone.  The loudest noise dulled by silence and quenched by angry fire.  When the line is crossed and broken and there is no longer a path to lead you back, the future holds no secrets to the one who is willing to learn.  Remember always, they can only kill you once.<br />
<br />
On a completely different note...I miss Sonja.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My car was broken into.  I wake up to go to work and bam, window is lying in the drivers seat.  Cd Deck is stolen, console is busted up.  $500 deductable on top of the fact I haven't eaten in days because I can barely afford my rent.  If I'm being tested by God for some reason, it needs to stop.  I'm done.  I quit. Fuck you and your little games.  It's over.  The life I've been handed isn't WORTH living, no matter how hard I try.  I'm so tired of things going from bad to worse, and the next motherfucker who tells me that 'well, if you're at the bottom, you can only go up' I'm going to bury alive up to their neck in the Salt Flats of Utah and piss on their face.  No, there IS no up for me, I'm deep in bedrock now baby, chewing gravel and all.  No matter how hard I try to climb out life keeps kicking me in the nuts and laughing.  My internet is going to be cut off, pretty sure they are going to shut off my electricity, and I'm two months behind on my rent.  I'm half tempted to go into a bank with a shotgun just for fun.  If I get away with the money, I have money. If I'm caught, I have a place to live and three square meals a day.  If I'm shot dead, well fuck that solves all my problems right there.  .....It'll be alright Justin, just wait.  Wait?  WAIT?  I'm what, 25 now?  Only got about 50 years left to wait here people.  The sickest part?  I haven't given up, I'm just too fucking DENSE to give up I suppose.  Kick me, beat me, whip me, cut me, shoot me, I keep coming back for more and more....this has to stop. And it has to stop now.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

-vs-<br />
Justin Joseph<br />
Defendent<br />
<br />
Wal-Mart<br />
PO Box 82<br />
Bentonville Ar 72712<br />
Attn: Garnishments<br />
Garnishee Defendant.<br />
<br />
The Court finds that the allegation contained in plantiff's motion are true, that there is due upon the judgement herein from defendant the sum of $2417.38 plus one-half (1/2) of any amount which the garnishee-defendant elects to collect as a fee for making deductions pursuant to IC 24-4.5-5-105 plus interest at 8.00% per annum from February 14 2004 of the ammount to be deducted; that defendant, for wages, incomes or profits; that plaintiff is entitled to a continuing garnishment order.  Interest must be reduced to 8% on any judgement due as of January 1, 1994.<br />
<br />
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the garnishee-defendant deduct from the disposable earnings of defendant (1) Twenty-five percent (25%) of such disposable earnings for that week OR (2) the amount by which defendant's disposable earnings exceed $154.50 per week, WHICHEVER IS LESS.<br />
<br />
<br />
So...yeah.  Fun times in the city tonight.  *sighs*  I make 1200 a month.  That's 300 a week.  25% is 75.   Bills add up to 855.  Now it comes up to 1255.  Loverly.<br />

<br />
Nothing good ever happens on my birthday.  For as long as I remember only bad things have happened on August 29.  Most times I just try to sleep the whole day away and hope nothing happens.  This year, it followed me.  I get online after going to buy food to eat...and my account is overdrawn.  By what you might ask?  By a magazine subscription I never ordered.  Lovely time.  I don't get paid until next Thursday so I'll end up spending my whole check paying my back for being bitches.  If I weren't who I am, if I hadn't been through all I have, I would be a broken man right now.  All the things piling upon me would have crushed me long ago.  Seems I'm a glutton for punishment.  I like to think of it as me biting my thumb at the world.  "Fuck you, you can't break me.  You can't bring me to my knees when I'm already there."  <br />
<br />
Justin FTW ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Silence now and forever never to let slip the decrepit words of deception that so fluidly crept from your lips the day I saw the hatred formed newly whole in my heart and watched it eat away my soul leaving me an empty shell, fragile and eager to die.  You left me like this, you caused my madness, my decent into this bottomless gorge of eternal pain.  The razors kiss can not ease my pain as it once did, the pain doesnt numb the memories of the terrible nights, the rain doesnt wash away the tears I cried alone.  Death is my option, and its an option I consider my every waking moment until the fragile thread of sanity I hold onto snaps and I fall, I fall so far and land so hard upon the breaking rocks of reality and shatter the dreams of hope I once had ]]></description>

Just starting to  get into combat in Achaea so that should be entertaining.  Feel like I've eaten barbwire spaghetti, my stomach cramps so hard I feel like I'm having contractions, like my entire digestive track is trying to come out my asshole and mouth.  Fun fun fun.  My vacation starts at the end of this month, still not entirely sure what I'm doing with it but I have some rough plans.  Two weeks of not having to work and being paid for it....I might go insane....er....insaner. ]]></description>

Next year I'm checking into getting financial aide, to go back and get my teaching degree.  Sonja is coming in June of next year *squeal*. So the year AFTER I hope to have saved enough to go THERE for vacation. *grins*  Then it's to save up to move there and all that fun stuff, hopefully having a degree will make things easier. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I work at Wal-Mart.  3rd shift.  Cashier.  That's bad enough.  Now for the past few months I've been trying to get a promotion, Customer Service Manager.  .90 more an hour.  So one CSM gets fired.  Another goes on vacation, and the other one is off for the day.  Guess who gets drafted.  Me.  I don't mind doing the job, I like doing it.  I applied to do it.  But why the FUCK don't they just promote me if I'm already doing the job, have BEEN doing it for a month now, and can do it better than most?  I mean......Do you think I'm taking this the wrong way?  I applied, they interviewed me.  Dicked around for THREE WEEKS and now I have to REAPPLY for the position I am ALREADY DOING AND NOT BEING PAID TO DO.  *sighs*  Ok.  I feel a little better now.<br />
<br />
On a brighter note my vacation is at the end of August and I have to decide what and where I am going.  Well...I guess I should get back to work.<br />
<br />
Oh, and this eclipse thing in Achaea?  It may give me a way back into the realms.  Read Crono's history and backgrounds.  Right now the last person to see him before his departure was Aithne and Crono told her he had some things to do.  Dairune knows just about all there is to know....suffice it to say Crono is being tortured to death in an alternate realm.  Fun fun.  And for all you people who think Crono is an escaped mental patient......READ HIS HISTORY!  Ask him questions, he'll answer.  One more thing, the newest Deviation is of Crono's torture. ]]></description>

Sometimes longer.  I feel my life is way too empty, and I'm the only one who can change that.  There is one that keeps me waking up and seeing the day through, and that is why I continue.

                <description><![CDATA[ So, I was gone for a while.  Why?  Complications arose.  I'm back now, more or less.  Not sure if I want to stay though.  Still pondering returning to Achaea seeing as how my fiancee isn't there I really don't see much point.  The friends I speak to in there know how to contact me and we still talk.  If any of you want to talk to me, I believe my email address is here somewhere.  I may return, I may not, I'm not sure about much anymore.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I wake up and look around at my surroundings.  I feel like I've done this all before, as if life were a book I read years ago and sometimes I can remember the course of the story.  It frightens me to no end.  Have I lived this before?  It's getting stronger.  It's not as if it grows everyday, but it is steadily gaining power.  Am I just losing my mind?  Pity...I thought I would last so much longer.  Few things hold my interest anymore...I'm just so tired of waking up and...waking up.  Heh.  No, I'm not suicidal, no reason to end the game just yet.  Why not see how it plays out.  I'll be dead soon enough right?  *smirks*  I want to be happy, I really do.  But life seldom gives me those chances.  I grab and hold on tight to them when they come, and cherish them in my memory.  Phone calls from friends.  Emails.  A stranger's smile.  A child's laughter.  Going to sleep on a full stomach on a cool bed.  I struggle, and I survive.  If this is some test, or training ground, I'm not sure I want to see what I'm being groomed for.  I've been told I'm evil.  I am who I am....I am dangerous and I am kind.  I have my honor and my faith.  I believe in myself and what I can do, I know my limits and how far I can push them.  Do you really think I'm evil?  Honestly?<br />
<br />
On a brighter note, I learned how to make clam chowder....oddly enough I don't like clam chowder, go figure.  I love to cook, always trying new things.  <br />
<br />
Yes, I know I'm completely random, and I tend to jump suddenly from subject to subject.  And if you've known me for any length of time it tends to become comforting because I see problems from every possible angle.  Also means I worry constantly and evaluate every single moment...daggers and razors...always cutting.  No, I don't cut myself.  Not anymore, promises.  I've never broken a promise.  If my word is worth nothing, neither am I.  I suppose I should sleep now, I'm rather ranting aren't I?  But...this is after all a journal, no?  A repository for all my thoughts and pains, my hidden jealousies and petty grievances.  Ah well....My name is Justin, welcome to my world. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ In darkness where the shadow lies I find a path revealed to my eyes and in the silence I heard laughter...<br />

Ever get deja vu?<br />
Ever get deja vu?  That happens to me daily, hourly...like I've done this all before and it makes me wonder what mistakes I made before that were so horrible that I am forced to repeat them....or what joys in this life did I miss so much that I had to relive them?<br />
<br />
In other knews, had an interview for management.  I'll let you all know how that goes.  Otherwise life is life, keeps kicking me when I'm down but for some reason I keep getting back up.  Lonely, oh so lonely  Granted, that is my fault and to some extent my decision to be alone.  One thing is...I don't like going out alone.  Hard to meet people if you don't go anywhere.  Also, I don't like going to other people's houses that much...I feel so out of place anywhere but my own home.  I'm just odd I suppose.  *frowns*  I'm a lot more outgoing than I used to be though, honestly.  And the depression is nearly gone, albeit I still have an occasional bout when I just want someone to hold onto and cry...Anyway, I survive, it's what I do.  Going to check out some more schools for teaching and we'll see what we see.<br />
<br />
Oh a brighter note, my cat loves me, which is cute, but she has to stop hanging up the phone when people call.... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well well well, day started off nice enough.  Got my apartment cleaned, watched the walls, played with my cat.  Then I check my account balance for the day.  What does it say?  Account balance: -$49.35.  Lovely eh?  Seems the IRS decided to WAIT two months to cash the check I mailed to the for tax payment.  So, let's do some math.  The check was for $130.  My balance at the time?  $51.  So....that leaves me with -$79.  I had $30 in my savings, transfer to checking -$49.  So, there are also the fees.  $20 dollar charge per day, so another $40 or so. -$89.  My check from work will be for $550.  I owe $260 for rent, $156 for car, $30 for electric backpay.  That leaves me with a whopping $15 for two weeks.  Oh, and any OTHER payments/checks that haven't cleared yet....some days it's not worth chewing through the restraints....*flop* ]]></description>
