About Me

'So this is the part where I go through and whip up some new but equally uninteresting and predominantly lame stuff to replace my original responses, as they are now, it seems, antiquated and obsolete.'

'Hey, Guys. My name is Justin. I'm 22 years old. Until the beginning of this scholastic year, I lived with my parents in the basement of their house. I was born in Rahway Hospital. I broke my wrist in 7th grade, when, after an awkward wrestling incident gone horribly awry, I was hurled from my trampoline onto the ground in a far more awkward position. You get the gist. My adolescence was one of relative obscurity, catalogued singularly by enumerable days of uneventfulness, and punctuated by moments of boredom induced terror. I got my ears pierced in the summer of 1999. Stretching would follow. At their apex, the holes in my earlobes were "0" gauge. Shortly thereafter, I discovered that I was, again, feeling unfulfilled. Shrinking commenced. I got my first tattoo in the summer of 2001. Over the course of the next two and a half years, three more would be added. I believe in unilateral love at first sight (I have never witnessed an example of bilateral love at first sight, so I am unable to comment). My beverage of choice is Perrier (preferably with lime). I got my current haircut against the yammering convictions of my friends and co-workers. I find librarians to be highly laudable. In my opinion, they should be appreciated to a higher degree for their thankless efforts to maintain a well-educated and literate power structure in this country. I am a junior in college, an English major, and a contributor to Die Cellist: www.diecellist.tk'

My Interests

'Stalking, slinking, carousing, getting out of hand, keeping it real, none more black.'

'While music and mastery of the English language to the best of my ability/ comprehension are my main, and ultimate pursuits, I occaisionally enjoy additional activities, such as: experiencing strange/obtuse/nonsensical sleep disturbances occuring during REM sleep, cataloging and documenting strange or atypical dreams that I may experience, making note of suspicious activities occuring in my immediate viscinity, jockeying for social equality regardless of race, gender, or sexual preference, attempting to see all sides of a potential situation, making lists, directing inquiries which I am unable to answer adequately to a competant authority, promoting less materialism in young people, and, lastly, brainstorming ways that the current social/economic/educational conditions could be better improved to the benefit of the populace utilizing means readily possessed and with the fewest detrimental effects over the short term, as well as long term.'

'Death in an old-West style showdown. You know the kind. Town's empty at dusk, except for the spectators lining the dusty main street hanging drunkenly on to the wooden frames of the saloons, and horse troughs for support. We brandish our weapons, turn, take 10 paces and draw, only to find that she is right behind me and, upon turning, we are face to face. She clasps my weapon with one hand before I even have time to draw it, and she forces her lips upon mine, props my mouth open with her tongue, and promptly vomits many live scorpions, several snakes, and a few straight razors into my mouth. She does cease in effort or intensity until I swallow the entire contents of what she has deposited. After placing my hands on my knees, coughing and gagging on dust, I ask her why she would do such a thing to me. She tells me to shut up and stop whining. She tells me that my disposition is unbecoming of me, and that I should be grateful because I'll never find another woman like her. And I can't help but think that she might be right.'
