Ok so here's the deal. Have any of you who are graduating soon actually started looking for jobs? I have and I've decided that unless you have 834 years experience then you aren't even going to get the courteous "call back" saying thanks but no thanks...you can't find a job unless you have experience and you can't get experience unless you get a job. I'ts an ironic universe we live in. So here's my feeble attempt to network! IF ANY of my dearest Xanga friends know of businesses that would be interesting to work for and here's the biggest part HIRING a fresh out of the gates college graduate, could you let me know! I'm looking for something in either business/marketing/sales or working for a University or College (i've developed an ingenious scheme to get my Masters paid for!). Thanks guys! Love

I'm quickly being evicted from my current state of complacency. For so long I've been able to rest in the security of knowing I didn't have to know what I wanted to do because I had plenty of time. I was still in school! But now I've found myself standing on the edge of a grand canyon of sorts. I have these dreams and passions in life and no logical way to pursue them as a means of a career. I want to play music and make a living doing it. But not just any music...music that glorifies my creator and serves as a ministry for him...to bad that doesn't pay save for a few select individuals who seem to have cornered the market. Why does it seem that mainstream offers such an easy escape to pursuing paths that will echo in eternity? In the words of my good friends speaking to me vicariously through my cd player "Oh God Oh God I needed you...Oh God of this world I needed you..."

hugs,

Justin

Wow Christmas is only four days away...I find myself in a reflective mood...I actually had to take a step back this morning and allow for a little self actualization and chastisement of good ole Justin....I woke up to frantically rush down stairs and check the order status of that last minute gift that is in the mail battling the innevitable fate of arriving posthumously this Christmas season....others are obsessing over the labels that we as a society deem appropriate for this festive season...while others are obsessing over the injustices served by people who are in a lifelong quest to "obscure christ from every aspect of society"...it was at this point of reflection that I realized the blasphemy of it all...I along with the rest of society have succeeded in whoring out Christmas...on a personal level I have lost sight of the true meaning of Christmas...it's not about the gifts we give it's about the gift He gave...coincidentally those who are obsessing over the labels being promoted this "holiday season" are just as guilty of taking the Christ out of Christmas as those from whom the plan originated...we sit on our ostacious pedistools and preach our own self righteousness when in fact the focus of our "Christmas" debates are that perfect gift we wish to receive this year or the blasphemy we've encountered by the suggestions of renaming our beloved Christmas trees Holidy trees....we search for some religious meaning in these truly unrelated tangible objects all the while forgetting about the real importants of this beautiful season....no one seems to be up in arms about the past focus on the vast commercialization of the holiday....why is that?...for those of us who have forgotten what's important this Holiday Season....my prayer is that we don't get what we deserve for our selfish actions done in the name of taking a stand for our faith...call it what you may but we're all guilty of forgetting what's really important this season!

Hey guys we're playing with Garlington at the Sound Crypt in Clarkesville! So come check us out and we'll help you celebrate the end of school for a few weeks at least! Check out our myspace for times and all that jazz! leave me some love....

God really has a way of putting things in perspective and forcing you from your complacency into a path where your faith is tested to it's full extent....It's times like these that I am thankful I'm not at the wheel of this trainwreck of a life...after the shock and desperation pass it's an awesome feeling to be stoked about what God is gonna do next! Lifes a garden! DIG IT!
