Saturday Night

After a day spent in New Brunswick, Kelley and I ventured on to New Brunswick. Same scene, different house. She had never seen the inside of the house, so I gave her a tour. And now I'll give you a tour.

This is mine and Tom's room, well mainly the front half of it. When it's all said and done, I think it's going to be some sort of green color. The landlord is painting it right now, so there is like dust on the floor and paint cans in the room, and Dan has took it upon himself to use the room as his personal hamper. It's called Bed, Bath and Beyond, nigga.


This is the upstairs bathroom. The shower and sink are to the left, but I had to show you something A LOT more interesting. Look at the toilet, and now look at where the flusher is. And look at the toilet next to the toilet. It's a MOTHER FUCKING BIDAY. Holla! But as Joe said, "If it's that bad, take a shower".


Those were only the two main features of the house that was cool to take, considering that I'll spend most of my time in the two of them. The house all together is awesome though, when school starts up, people should come buy and hang out.

So at night we headed over to my aunt's, where Kelley would eventually leave, and I would fucking leave, late as fuck. Ugh. But yeah, I have plenty of guy cousins, most of whom are younger than I. As a matter of fact, I only have one cousin older than me, and two older brothers, so it's nice being in charge once in a while. But the age gap isn't too wide so we all can still have fun. The fun we concocted was the funnest.

I convinced my 17 year old cousin Loren, to put on his catcher's helmet and chest protect and let me and my other cousins hurl a tennis ball at his chest from about 15 to 20 feet away.


Action shot of Justin throwing the ball. This can give you a look at how far we actually were.


That was bound to happen.

Saturday

Saturday was fun. I got out of the house early.

My grandparents came to chill for a bit. My grandma doesn't like pictures of her taken, so I took a picture of my grandpa. He's rockin' the OG STARTER Chicago Bears Cap. Illin' it.


I went to a local gallery with Kelley. Her hair matches the color pallette of the paintings. It is cute. Kelley hates pictures of her being taken toosies.


The gallery had cool pieces. The Kennedys juxtaposed next to the Obamas. James Dean waxing a car next to Kurt Cobaine holding a rifle. It was interesting that the artist gave the characters halos reminiscent of religious art, and how the background are played colors of the Virgin Mary blue. I liked this set. I need to get this artist's card.



Got some McDonald's with Kelley. We both got the new Mac Snack wrap, which I might add is MIGHTY tastey. Not some much healthy, but a big mac in a wrap at $1.50 is fucking ACE.


Oh, and watch THE HANGOVER. One of the funnier movies I have seen in my life. God it's so funny.

Pay Day

"I gotta problem wit' spendin' money before I get it"- Sir Kanye West

It's not that I SPEND my money before I get it, I don't even own a credit card, and that's a good thing. I just make a list of things to spend my money on once I get it. And because I'm trying to be more economical with my money, I've made another list of things I don't really want right now. 

There is a huge difference between wanting and needing. For instance, I have many bags, book bags to be exact, so I don't really NEEd another one, I just want a new one. And by new I mean a camera bag. I mean it's not necessarily a camera bag, I think, it's an off the shoulder bag. It's a very gay way to say it, but if you see it, you'll catch my drift. So with that, I will show it to you. 

It's a two pocket bag. One main pocket at the top and a smaller side pocket in the front. It would be alot easier to carry my camera in this, along with a flash, some batteries and my external hard drive. I mean the bag I use now is cool and all but I feel like shit gets bumped and rattled in there all the time. Not good for my camera. At all. 

A second thing I want but don't NEED is a camera flash. I use one. It's a canon flash. One from the 80's. On m NIKON. I mean, it's good and all, but the thing is about as heavy as my camera, and uses 4 AA batteries. Batteries are fucking expensive, and I need something economical. How about a Nikon SB-400? Small and light-weight and uses on 2 AA batteries. Doesn't get any more economical than that. And with the deal Adorama has I can get that flash, with a diffuser, and 4 rechargeable batteries for 130 dollars. Can't really complain. I mean, I have yet to test the flash out, and I really don't like buying things unless I can test out, but 114 dollar flash, is alot better than spending 200 dollars for a Nikon version of the flash I have now. 

And the third thing is another tattoo. I've been working on this 3/4, half, wahtever you want to call it, sleeve, for three years now. I mean people bang out half sleeves in month or so, but since mine is patch work, each piece is thought out or not thought at all. Considering it will be on me forever, it would be the wisest choice, but in terms of function, it has nothing tangible besides looking cool. It is going to be my mother's maiden name on my shoulder. The meaning and thought were basically put into my DNA when I was conceived, so it would be like scratching out the skin to just show it. It would be the cheapest. Hrm. I don't know. 

But yeah, those are the three main things I want as of now. The rest is just like more camera shit (a lens) and bike shit, for a bike I have still yet to learn how to properly ride. And by ride I mean use the breaks, and by breaks I mean skid stop. I know how to ride a fucking bike. 

Wall-E Ending Credits

Probably the best ending credits to a movie I've seen ever. A look at art history. From Neolithic to about the Impressionism age. It was only fitting that they added a super awesome ending credit scene to a super awesome movie.

Mac Snack Wrap

UGH. The Mac Snack Wrap. Just as good as the Big Mac but even more economical. Everyone should go out and try one as soon as they can. It will really change your life.

Rodney Harrison Retires

I know the dude has the rep for being the dirtiest player in the league, and he might be loved by many New Englanders and considered one of the greatest safeties to play the game with a 30 sack, 30 INT record, but what New Yorkers will remember him for is this.

The Helmet Catch. 'Nough said. Shit like that isn't supposed to happen. It's like getting dunked on. It's like getting your shot blocked. But worst of all, you got played out by the 4th or 5th string WR, while you're playing with the the best team the NFL has probably ever seen. Oh and you lose. 

Sorry Harrison, as good as you were, I'll always remember you for this. 

Worky Work

That's one of my views from work. This place has a few windows so I chose that corner, only because it seemed the safest.

I'm starting my third week of work and so far I can say my summer has started out really busy. Mighty Healthy is dope as fuck, the guys here are dope, and American Apparel is no sweat. I feel like I'm doing this in my sleep. Speaking of sleep. I get none. It sucks.

I have to bring a check to New Brunswick. Move my shit in there and call it a day. Pay day is Friday and what I really need is a camera bag. I think I need that the most on top of anything else really. I gotta stop loading my shit into my back pack. I should go find out how much that is. I think like $64. Idk. 

I have nothing else to talk about right now.
