You say you want a revolution… well you know…
Yesterday there were thousands of tea parties set up all over the USA and people from all areas of life were out. This wasn’t just the extreme right or left out there, this was the average working person. I don’t know about you but it feels like with the Sovereignty Act up for vote and the Tea Party that people are finally starting to get sick of big government spending and the lack of accountability.
The biggest issue with our political system is that it’s become a race between two competing teams and not about the love of the game anymore (i.e. the people and the Constitution). It’s about winning.
Funny How It Is

So I downloaded the new DMB single from the new albulm for free today (thanks to Dave and Twitter). It’s much different than anything I’ve heard them do before. It almost makes me think it’s a cover because it’s that different than what I’m used to hearing from them. The lyrics are very DMB but musically it’s much different. It’s interesting in a good way.
I was listening to a few interviews about the albulm and basically this is the disc he’s the most proud of. Everyone really got to input a style that was their own and then they put them together so when it comes together it’s pretty cool.
What do I believe?
Posted by Justin in Uncategorized on March 26th, 2009
Have you ever asked yourself this question? I don’t mean what do you believe blindly… I mean have you given thought to what you believe, done research, expanded your soul to come to these conclusions?
I have but I’ve never documented it before. I’m starting to realize that I spend a pretty good chunk of time distracted from myself. I’ve become swallowed whole by an assault on my senses of what we call life. Technology, Television, Movies, Music, Books, and so on. How many people know what happened on American Idol last night but have no idea what the government is trying to pass to “save” our economy? The media is saturated with news, but news blurred like a heavy night of drinking… it’s not quite the truth and not quite real but you know something happened there and you don’t really want to think about it.
It seems like my life is passing by faster and faster with every blink of my eye… what have I accomplished? What do I have to show for 30 years of being alive on this planet? I’m about to start a family, and I’ve maybe made a few people think about the world or themselves. I might have shown a side of myself that changed someone forever. Am I capable of more? Does the world demand more of me? I’m not sure… but I think I demand more out of myself and it’s time to stop letting it sleep.
Busy Little Bee
Wow. I’m super busy lately. I thought my schedule after I graduated would calm down a little but it’s been just as busy as it was when I was in school.
Currently working on: websites for sovereign collective, rip ink, friendly fire (gaming cafe), and possibly a music store.
I’m also of course working full time and trying to get the house stuff going. It’s a lot of work!
Establishing Contact
Over the weekend I managed to track down the contact information for one of my friend’s family. I was very excited for this because I hadn’t talked to them in years. Some of you that worked with me may have recalled my friend that passed away back in 2000 named Joey. This is his family we are talking about. They were always a second family to me so I’m really glad I got in touch with them.
This weekend I’m headed to Columbus to get my half sleeve finished and talk some negotiations about doing the website for the place that does my ink. They just opened an amazing place that does tattoo, has an art gallery, art library and more. I’m going to try and trade up website work for some time on my other half sleeve that I want to start in the spring.
I’m turning a year older on Thursday and I’m a little bummed. I’m having a party the 14th and most of my closest friends can’t make it. Boo to you sirs.
Who’s watching me?

Have you heard the song from the Geico commercial? It’s a cover of Rockwell feat. M.J’s version of Somebody’s Watching Me. The damn song is catchy in that annoying club beat sort of way. I’m a fan of the original so I sort of like this one.
True story — Michael only sings the chorus of the original song and Rockwell asked him to do a song with him. Michael walked in and sang only the chorus that he made up, and they built the entire song around what he sang for those 2 lines. That shows what a pimp MJ was back in the day.
Blast from the Past
So, people who have read my site for the last ten years might remember a spunky lady by the name of Lisa and her buddy Don. Well, after probably 7 years I managed to get in touch with them again! I’m super excited to see they are doing well.
This weekend I will be finalizing plans for a house I’m going to be building this year so once that happens I will make sure I post the plan and some pictures. It’s going to be awesome when it’s done!
I’m graduated!
Well, I’ve managed to finish my degree after 3 very long years and about $35,000 in debt. I’m so happy to be able to finally work normal hours and go to bed at a decent time.
The next thing on my list is to start working on all the things that got neglected while I was in school. My body, my future wife, and my website projects.
Coming soon: mindtrance might build a house?
The Future Mrs. Maj
Well, as of this Saturday 11/15/2008 I’m engaged to the coolest girl I know. I’m so lucky and dare I say blessed to have Kaele in my life. I’ve seen her become independent, stronger, wiser and just more amazing over the last few years from overcoming obstacles in her life. I’m very proud of what we have managed to make it through together and I look forward knowing we can make it through anything.
I proposed to her at the Largest Indoor Waterpark Resort in the United States in front of my family and the boys. I had planned it out in my head to be more personal and romantic but it all just happened so fast and it just seemed like the right moment. We haven’t set a date and won’t for awhile but I’ll keep you updated when the time comes around.
Forward Progress
Well, I’m proud to say that although I didn’t vote for Mr. Obama myself I am very happy that we finally have moved forward and were able to elect an minority as President. I’m not too keen on his policies and I’m frustrated that so many people voted for him based on either his race, not being George W. Bush, or the lesser of two evils and not the issues. I’m not saying all people are uneducated on his issues but most of the people I talked to didn’t know much about what his administration planned on doing.
My mother is against the Federal government running things, raising taxes, and wealth distribution but she is so upset with the last 8 years she voted for the very thing she disagrees with. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt but my worries for the next few years run deep to my core.
