There is so much I’ve fallen behind on

By Justin | July 20, 2007

So why not procrastinate some more? There are a ton of hot new iPhone apps. There are lots of instant messaging apps, new games, tip calculators, Bible resources, apps that make the iPhone into a name badge, and my favorite, iPhone Remote.

What the fuck, humanity?

By Justin | July 19, 2007

From The Patriot Ledger: On December 13, 4-year-old Rebecca Riley died a slow and painful death of a prescription drug overdose at her home in Hull. Her parents, Michael and Carolyn Riley, were charged with first-degree murder. Prosecutors say the overdose of their daughter was deliberate. There’s nothing like reading the entire 27-page affidavit detailing [...]

All it takes is one asshole

By Justin | July 18, 2007

… to mess up your entire day. A big honkin’ Virginian sonuvabitch came in and started yelling and cursing and threatening. I went into full battle mode, shoulders back and arms tense, ready to whack this guy. I really wish I could’ve taken a swing at him. It was the first time I’ve legitimately lost [...]

You know Justin cares when…

By Justin | July 18, 2007

… he takes the time to write a letter to the editor of The Patriot Ledger. Mandatory health—and sex—education is essential Making health education, including sex ed, a mandatory part of the state’s curriculum is a move long overdue. Kudos to our lawmakers for finally putting the health of young adults in the spotlight. I [...]

Chalk up another for comprehensive sex ed.

By Justin | July 18, 2007

From an excellent article by The New York Times on the slow death of abstinence-only education: In northeastern Texas, advocates of abstinence education vow to fight for their mission because to them, it is not just a matter of sexuality or even public health. Getting a teenager to the other side of high school without [...]

Summertime sickness, and lots of Wikipedia

By Justin | July 16, 2007

It’s always weird being sick in the summer. In the winter, it seems more fitting to be feeling like crap, since the world outside is crap. You don’t feel like you should be outside, because it’s grey and freezing. But in the summer, it’s bright and sunny outside, and being inside all day feeling like [...]

Parents home, party OK’d

By Justin | July 14, 2007

My brother is now on his own down in Florida, since my parents arrived home at around 6 AM Friday morning. I was upfront about what went on while they were gone; how could I lie to my parents? They were cool with the party and didn’t even seem particularly concerned with the beverages that [...]
