3:41a | Ugh.... It is my Birthday! Should I be excited? lol Today is my Birthday! I am not excited about it at all. But, I did get a great gift from Jeremy! I was opening it and he said it was a theme. I got a box of popcorn, some candy to munch on, and a drink to wash it all down. The main gift was three cirque de soleil dvds! I am so happy! They were three that I don't have. That was such a thoughtful gift! So, that was so nice of him! It is funny how non of my friends planned anything for me. I did get a text and two friends from Kennywood, ryan and dave want to see me.... I am shocked that they remembered....lol I don't know.... I just don't think I am going to plan anybody elses anymore.... or plan anything anymore.... lol In the morning, I am going to breakfast with my friend Taran and Juanita! I miss Taran! She use to work with me and then left. So, it will be great to see her again! After that, I have to run to get my hair cut! I will also need to get some mroe hair products and then after that, I am going home to clean up the house for when my brother and his family and my grandmother come over. I am happy my grandmother is coming over. She has not been over since the fight. I am so sick of this crap. lol I feel semi better this night. I think I slept well..... I think I just got good quality sleep that I needed. I am still tired but not as tired. Saturday, I think I am going to sandcastle.... then hanging with Jeremy. On sunday, I am going to hang with My friend Dave as he is up visiting his family. Brad did not come, but it will be nice to see Dave! I miss him. So, other than it being my birthday.... and me turning 26 years old.... nothing new is going on. But, I am going to get going for now. Relax some for the remainder of my break. I will update later on! ~Justin~ Current Mood:  mellow |

12:26a | i'm terrible at writing things on here. right now all i have to say is cheyenne jackson get out of my dreams. i've never been one of those omg omg cheyenne is so hot kinda boys. the man has never done anything for me. oddly though the past couple nights mr. jackson has popped up in my dreams...in a rather sexual nature...granted his been singing "don't walk away" while looking into my eyes and i usually end up singing "suspended in time"...the whole thing has been kinda weird...yet oddly enjoyable in a odd way. ah my dreamland, such a fucked up place....  i couldn't resist cause it includes the princess...  |

4:38a | short update... So, today, I had to train someone just in case I was ever off and so she could cover my shift. Well, it was a fun time. I knew her already so it was all good. But yeah, the strange thing about it is that my horiscope said I was going to be training someone today. How odd is that?? lol Ok, well still not excited about my birthday... I don't know.... lol Today, I spent some time with my Grandmother, and that went well. Just really tired from it. I did not get home till around or a little after 1pm. So, I did not get much sleep. I did however attempt to go to bed early after dinner and so in hopes to make myself feel better and yes... that did not work. I did not really sleep well at all. I am running behind because of training Heather, but so I am going to cut this short but, all is well tonight so far. Nothing to exciting. Ok, well I will update later on!! ~Justin~ Current Mood:  sleepy |

4:07a | Thankfully, it is wednesday... So, let me see where to begin.... lol I go to get my tires rotated and an oil change and a few others for 19.99 today and it ended up being 273 something..... yeah not happy. Well, I was in need of two front tires, but I thought I could hold off a few months. I did not think they were that bad. Well, guess so. So, that was a big shock for my wallet. It is wednesday thankfully. I am almost at the weekend. My birthday is still not making me excited. Though, my grandmother is going to come!! That makes me happy. I hope things are getting better with her and the big family issue. I just hope my dad and her be good to each other. He was upset with her for her and my aunt outing me to them and for her picking favorites with her other daughter and treating my mom bad during this whole thing. So, I am happy that she is going to come on friday for my birthday. I do worry that there will be some sort of explosion.... if there is, I am just going to leave. I am though excited about seeing Taran!! I miss her... she was fun to work with. I think I will be seeing her on my birthday for breakfast. I also have to get my hair cut.... so I will do that after or before I see her. It is going to depend on her. I don't want her to have to go out of her way to see me. In the morning, after work, I am taking my grandmother to an appointment and then going to breakfast with her. If it is late, I might just skip the breakfast as I am already really tired. *tapes eyes open* Things are still bothering me... somethings are better and with some others, I am more confused. I just don't know. In time, I hope it gets better, but I will just have to take it as it is for now and let it fix itself. I wonder if I was not working here.... if I would feel better about things.... or maybe be stronger and more able to handle this stress. I don't know... I just think and other people have told me that this night term crap is hurting me. So, that is something to think about. I really do hope the proposal that I made Kennywood for a new position will work out. I could be out of this place and working for a better company and a more fun company. lol It is just that my supervisors, not my main one, but the other one is not professional at all. It takes a long time to get some sort of response and it is just upsetting. I just can't wait for phantom fright nights. I can manage and have some fun and be with friends. Speaking of friends... it is funny hearing some of their excuses of why they could not go camping. I had to get emergency brain surgery, I had to get my leg re-attached. Yes, I am exaggerating it a bit, but you know, it is all the same when it comes down to it. It still hurt my feelings that you were like, all yes, it is going to be so much fun and such and then at the last minute, oh I forgot... blah blah blah. lol.... oh well. what u going to do. Things do pop up I guess..... sigh I just feel that everything is fallling apart for me.... and that everything that I do is wrong. So, it is just still a hard time. I think I just need some more sleep.... get all rested up again. I do hope that I get enough money to buy myself a nice good expensive camera that I want for my birthday. I am still down in the dumps and buying myself an expensive toy will help. So, at least I am going to wait to see how much money I get. I know what I want in a good camera. Basicly everything that my current regular fun digi camera does not have. This camera that I want to get is just going to be for more professional shots. Something to help keep me pre-occupied with.... something to get me more into photography with. I also want a nice good tripod as well to use. I know I wont get one for my birthday.... so I will have to check the finances and such after I get some moeny from my birthday. Anyways, I think I am going to get going for now. I will update later on. ~Justin~ Current Mood: tired |

4:41p | Ebert & Roeper BECOMES Ben & Ben Following up last night's Ebert & Roeper news... New hosts have been pegged. And-shock of shocks-they are descended from Hollywood royalty. Ben Lyons (son of critic Jeffrey Lyons and grandson of New York Post's Leonard Lyons) and Ben Mankiewicz (grandpa co-wrote Citizen Kane, great-uncle directed All About Eve and cousin Tom wrote some flicks, among other projects) will take over September 6. Which goes to show only one thing: the industry is incestuous and unless you have a pedigree, you don't mean squat. Real nice, guys. Effectively kick out Roger Ebert, Michael Phillips and Richard Roeper. Retool the show (A revamped set, music and graphics also are planned...code for skewing younger), remove everything people know and like about it and throw in Ben and Ben. Now, I do like Mankiewicz from his TCM days. But damn, make the mutual cock sucking and ass kissing a little less obvious. I wonder who else was up for the parts. And be on the lookout for a new project from Roeper and Ebert, supposedly to be announced soon. |

3:46a | Is it the weekend yet? So, I feel so much better tonight.... sleepy wise. I went to bed pretty soon after I got home. I did sleep well! I could have slept much more than I did, but I had to get up and such. In the morning, I plan on getting my tires rotated and an oil change and such. It is time for that. I also need to get gas on the way. I hope it does not take too long. I don't know.... my birthday is almost here. I just don't feel too excited over it at all. If I was still working at Kennywood with my friends and or if my friends planned something, then I would be totally shocked and I would feel so much better. But.... they are not planning anything. In fact, nobody has mentioned it. Well, this is not including those who I work with now. But, my friends who I have been friends with for years.... that is whome I am talking about. So, it sucks when you don't see certain people for a while. I don't like this growing up business at all. It makes me think. But anyways.... my list of things that I want for my birthday.... *HOUSE* lol New good digi camera for taking better more professional photos with good lense and zoom A good tripod ummmmmmmm thats it.... lol LOL yeah I know... but I can't think of anything else that I want. I honestly don't know what I will get for my birthday... I am thinking just money and my brother will get me either like a dress shirt and tie or who knows. lol My friend Amber and I keep on laughing at our camping trip. I guess we can laugh at it now. I just still can hear his voice from sunday morning when he woke us up from outside of the tent. Ok, well I am going to get going for now. I will update later on! ~Justin~ Current Mood:  busy |

10:20p | The End of Ebert and Roeper From the AP: Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert says he's cutting ties with the television show that he and the late Gene Siskel made famous. In an e-mail to The Associated Press on Monday, Ebert said Disney-ABC Domestic Television had decided to take the show "in a new direction" and he won't be associated with it. His announcement came a day after Chicago Sun-Times columnist Richard Roeper said he was leaving the nationally syndicated "At the Movies With Ebert & Roeper." Roeper said in a statement Sunday that he had failed to agree on a contract extension with Disney-ABC Domestic Television so his last appearance on the show will air the weekend of Aug. 16-17. "Several months ago, Disney offered to extend my contract, which expires at the conclusion of the 2007-08 season," Roeper said. "I opted to wait. Much transpired after that behind the scenes, but an agreement was never reached, and we are all moving on." A message seeking comment was left for a spokeswoman for Disney-ABC Domestic Television early Monday. Roeper said he intends to "proceed elsewhere ... as the co-host of a movie review show that honors the standards established by Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert more than 30 years ago." "I will be free to share the details on that program in the near future," he said. He also said he wishes Disney "the best of luck with their new show, whatever form it may take." Roeper joined Sun-Times movie critic Roger Ebert on the show in 2000, after Ebert's original co-host, Chicago Tribune film critic Gene Siskel, died of a brain tumor in 1999. Siskel and Ebert had begun reviewing movies on television together in 1975 on Chicago public broadcasting's WTTW, which eventually took their program national. The pair jumped to commercial television through the Tribune Co.'s TV syndication wing in 1982, switching to Disney in 1986. Roeper was chosen from among a large group of contenders to be the permanent replacement for Siskel after his death. Ebert has been sidelined the last two years because of health issues that have robbed him of his voice. "Over the last two seasons, as Roger has bravely coped with his medical issues, I've continued the show with a number of guest co-hosts," Roeper said. "It's never been the same without Roger, but I'm proud of the work we've done and I'm grateful to all the co-hosts who stepped in — and to the viewers that stayed loyal to the show." I expected Ebert to hit the road considering his medical problems and recent dispute with Disney over the thumbs up/thumbs down stuff. But to have Roeper leave too? He's finally gotten into a groove with Michael Phillips, though I preferred Aisha Taylor as co-host. I wonder what the new project is... Suffice to say, I watch the show every week and now I'm bummed. |

10:19a | Video Monday: Jerry Goldsmith Jerry Goldsmith, Oscar winning film composer, died this day four years ago. He is known for his work on Star Trek, Alien, Planet of the Apes, Tora! Tora! Tora!, Gremlins and dozens of other projects. But, in his honor, perhaps his most well known piece of movie music comes from 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture. |

3:53a | My Scarrrrrry and eventfull camping trip! Wow...... so I am alive and well from my camping trip. lol It was really interesting. I really thought that I might not return... lol SO, yeah friday was great.... the sky was great. We took many many photos! Amber and I had our own little photo shoot around the park and the campground. It was great. We did that again saturday afternoon. SO yeah, we got back and decided to play a game on saturday around 5:30. and so we are playing and this guy comes over. He has bad english... from Russia and preceeds to ask if we can show him how to use camera. Well, he finally says he is actually a professional camera man. He gives Amber some contacts or whatever and we finally say that we need to get going and for him to leave. There was alot more like, him wanting to take us to some restaurant to have some fish.... his treat, but for me to drive. NO THANKS! LOL I told him, ummm no, we already have plans for the evening. He actually got offended and kind of snippy with me. Well, anyways, we told him that we need to get going and so he needed to leave. So, he left. We go watch a movie that the campground was showing and we leave that early as we were hungry and the movie was a little cheesy. So, we get back.... Start the fire and I go and grab my air mattress to put more air in it because I wanted it more firm than It was the previous night. So, I am at my car with the pump. I hear something.... I look and there he is! He asks, "What you doin?" I reply in a harsh tone, "Camping... what do you thing?!" He said something and then preceeded to where Amber was sitting. I grab my bed and my keys and lock the car. I walked over and asked... "Can I help you with something?" He said, "If the lady wants to talk with him than she can!" I go over and shove my bed back into the tent while looking back at them. I was shaking. I was thinking what can I do to get him away. So, I go over and grabbed two peaces, well two big sticks that we were using to tend to the fire. I poke at it for a second as I walk over beside him. I then say something like, well, Amber and I would really like to spend the night together alone as it is our last night here and we still want to eat and such. He looks at me and says, "What do you mean?" I said back something like, I think it is time for you to leave. I still had the peaces of wood clutched in my hands. He stood up and said, "I am a very educated man and I understand." So, he stood up and looked around and stumbed away. He was so drunk! I was afraid to be too threatening because he was drunk, so I just was trying to be cautious while able to protect myself and Amber. So, we sat down and I decided to tell the people next to us to keep an eye out for us and for themselves and if they saw the park police for them to send them my way. Well, we saw the police but they flew past and never saw me. So, we just had some food and every sound we heard was horrible. We would look behind us and around making sure it was not him. I think he passed out soon after he returned to his site though. Or he was just staring at us the whole time. I gave her something to use if he came back, I had something and my mountain pie iron which I was going to make contact with his head if he came back again and tried something. lol Wow... it was scary. lol I told Amber, if he would come back again for her to take my car and to drive to the camp host site for help and I would try to get him to go back to his site. He was drunk, all I had to do was knock him down and run if I had to. So, we went to bed late... the fire was starting to get smaller and smaller and It was time for bed. So, we both left and got ready for bed and came back and climbed into the tent. I had my knife with me then and my hard metal flashlight. We slept very light, but it was a good night sleep. I was afraid to fall asleep at first. lol But anyways, around 7:40am, something woke me up from a sound deep sleep. It was "...If you want to take pictures, you MUST wake up now!!" My eyes just popped open with my mouth. I Did not breath for like a minute or two till I heard his foot steps walking away. Amber said that he said "Amber If you want to take pictures, you MUST wake up now!!" But yeah, we both had the same reaction when we heard him!!! He did not bother us sunday as we packed up and such. But, I was really scared and glad that everything was ok. lol I was just afraid he was going to try to do something to Amber if I was not around or even just take me out and then go after Amber. I don't know... but it was a fun time minus that event. You never know what is in store for the future and you never think something scary would happen to you. hrm....lol Oh, he told us that his name was Alex. But the name on his site was Tom Hannah Hrm... interesting huh? And he wanted to take us to a restaurant. Hrmmmm why? What was his plan? lol I don't know.... maybe he was some russian escapee or something. lol Ok, well I am super tired. I am going to get going for now. I will update with photos hopefully! ~Justin~ Current Mood: tired |

9:00a | Thanks a lot for the comments and well wishes for my mom. She is now in a regular room and the restrictions for the number of people and amount of time you could spend have been relaxed. I want my mom to close her eyes and know she is being watched and cared for. She was pretty mad that I came up here, but now I think is happy to have me around. It is not that I can actually do much outside of moral support and stuff like that. MJ has been a big support for me too. I did not sleep for a few days and he was able to get in to chill out the past couple of nights. Yesterday we went for a walk in the morning and got caught in a huge down pour. We had made it a few blocks away from my mom's place and were pretty much soaked to the bone. We changed and went to the hospital and hung out. My Uncle Matt has been on point for just about everything. Hopefully my mom will be released this next week, but having both arms in casts does not give her much independence for the time being. I teased her about having to give her a sponge bath. That gave her a big smile. It is really hard to see her in pain. My mom is a strong person and independent soul who never is sick. Now she is beat to hell, swollen and in pain. I am grateful for the Chicago Fire Department who extricated her from the car and saved her life. No doubt if she had a similar accident near the ranch it would not have had the same outcome given the rural nature of where we live. Well, thats all for now. Thank you. |

3:33a | Long week is over... Haahaa ok, so my large awesome group of friends going camping is now down to a small ONE person going with me! Honestly?!?!?!? All I and my friend Amber can do is just Laugh! I am so pissed that I just laugh at it. It is all I can do I guess. But yeah it will be a fun time! THe weather is going to be great! I have my cloths packed for the most part... I just have to pack the rest of my camping gear when I get home. So, here is my plan.... I am going to go wash my car.... fill up the gas tank.... go and get my tires rotated and get the oil changed, and then home to pack the car. Shower, go and shop for food, pick up Amber and then head down to the campground. So, that is my plan so far. lol Will it stay that way? Possibly... but not holding my breath. I am so tired tonight.... I did not sleep at all during my little nap. I just was there... under the covers, and then ontop of the covers and then partially under the covers.... I just tossed and turned.... too much on my mind. lol This is horrible. lol I am in the works of planning a second vacation... and so not too sure where to go.... but I have a few ideas. I have one thing that I wanted to get done tonight here at work... not going to happen. I have no energy at all to even look at it. I will do it next week. Ok, well I am going to get going and update the sites that are open so I can look and see which campsite I want to get. I'll update later on! ~Justin~ Current Mood: tired |
