I ran into the homeless court jester I met in Byron Bay a few days ago. He was on the tram heading up to meet some of his Harri Krishna friends. Last I saw him, we were sitting with him in a sketchy park, listening as he attempted to play two wooden flutes simultaneously. It was strange to see him in a new context.
Had one day at work this week where an entire neighbourhood wanted the milk man dead. I've never met so many rude people in my life. I don't know what it was about that area, but people seem to hate milk, milk products and all associated with their distribution. The dogs in the neighbourhood (if you'd even consider them dogs...I'd probably choose the more appropriate term of rabi ridden ghouls from hell) didn't like milk either.
Luckily the following days everyone went back to normal, and nothing tried to kill me.
It's Australia day today. I don't know what that means really. Every day seems like Australia day to me. Mainly due to the fact that I'm surrounded by it.
Cooked me a kangaroo steak the other day. It was pretty good. Tasted a bit like how I'd imagined mad cow would taste...but without the repercussions...I think.

Off to the beach.

Hey You,
I,m not sure you don't already have mad cow!Your comments lead me to believe you are quite delusional and living in an Australian neverland.The only other explanation would be the amount of hallucinagins you are using.You seem to be able to turn the most mundane day into something from Alice in Wonderland.Have you run into the chesire cat yet?All the world should see life thru my Justins eyes!
Love you to pieces

My Dear Auntie,
You're touched upon a personal fear of mine. I'm once again starting to wonder if I'm actually in australia, or in fact, huddled on floor in London Ontario, in the foetal position beside a puddle of droole and a hooka half full of opium. I didn't meet the chesire cat, but I almost stepped on a dead possom the other day. Thaks for reminding me.

Love Justin

Mother,
Thanks for the encouragement. You may unfortunately be somewhat biased due to the fact that you gave birth to me. But thank you all the same.

Again, Love Justin

I made some changes to the site, so anyone should be able to comment now, without having their own blogg. There should be no more need to log on under other peoples names.

Im leaving on Feb 6 to embark on "The MadcaP adVentures of Mcc Abe". I already told everyone that i invented the term Madcap so dont be suprised when people ask you why u copied me, because im just going to tell them that uve always copied me.

Sup Cuz,

That's wicked that you're leaving. I hear the departure is tomorrow (well, today for me). You're going to have an awsome time. Sorry about always copying you. It's just that, when I grow up, I want to be like you. Also, I hear that your cat is a trouble maker. Also, you'd better start one of these damn blog things. I didn't want to do it, but they made me, so you damn well better write one too. Dammit.
Have a wicked awsome adventure. Watch out for chicklet kids. I've heard things.

To both Casey and Michael. Happy birthday!!! I just realized that you're now 19. That's really strange. I still remember seeing you guys in your little fish tanks with your cute little life support tubes, writhing like small aliens being probed. And nothing has changed.

Well, that's my birthday card this year. One of my better one's I think.

Love,
Lustin.

Hey wierd one,
We are now fighting about what chicklet kids are. Michael says you are just being random,I say maybe they are square white kids.Please solve the riddle.I also don't appreciate your description of my children as infants.(I really agree with you,but for their sakes I feel I must reprimand you)Do you any remorse?
I wonder what the next few months will be like without The Mr Michael around.Certainly the house will be alot cleaner, so maybe its a wash.Anyways(for your mothers benefit)keep on trucking!Casey always loves when I say out of date stuff like that.
Love you
Auntie Belle

Chicklet kids are the children that harrass you and pull on your shirt sleaves saying "chicklet! chicklet!". They try to sell you gum basically.
What is this remorse of which you speek?
Anyways, I'm off to my house.

thanks for the b-day wishes but You JUST realized that i'm 19! i'm outraged. i've been waiting for this day since i was 14 hahaha. i bought my first legal 26er at LCBO today. twas a great experience and one that i hope to repeat many many times in the future.

I'm glad that the image you have of mike and i is back in the incubator stage. Now that we have Sam and Mariah, i can only imagine what we must have been like. but those life support tubes were pretty adorable. and nothing has changed hahha.

the cat is a definate trouble maker, but i have a feeling he's going to be more docile with no claws or balls.

HAVE A GOOOD ONE! hopes the fun keeps rolling in

Poor Kitty. Claws and balls are the two things I'm sure he treasures most. Oh well.
Congrats on the 26er.
Shelley, I looked up the word remorse, and now I understand, and feel somewhat. Perhaps the term "aliens" was a bit harsh. "beings from another world" is more fitting, and more pc I think.

p.s. I joke. They were always adorable, well behaved children. It's just too bad about the odour problems.

Well I'm happy to know that at least you are able to admit when you have wronged. Wilson just came home from the hospital and told me that now that he can't scratch you or have babies with you,he thinks that the next best welcome home for you would be to piss on you.Be warned!Could it be that you are already used to this treatment from small animals during the course of your job?If so, I'm sure that between George,myself, Casey and Will we can figure something out.

Justin, I can only tell you that I think it is very exciting that you have entered the last great frontier ... door to door sales. Every day you get the unexpected and sucess means that you fail more times than you get them to say yes .. what a MAN!

George,
I understand why you're calling it that. I agree. Tough stuff, but so far I'm doing alright, and making enough milk money to fund some more travelling. I'm starting to find that people are a lot like robots, and each responds to what I have to say to them with a series of responses, depending on their age, family status etc. that you just have to learn how to rebut. Such a strange job though, and I'm meeting tones of crazy people...which I always enjoy.
I'm sure you know all about this.

I was just checking in to see how things were going for you in the land down under, and I'm glad to see that you're still as crazy as ever. Though, it's not you that's necessarily crazy, but craziness seems to be drawn to you. Or maybe you just write in such a way that makes me THINK that it's everyone else who are nuts....
Good luck with the milk thing, can't wait to hear about where you go next!

Hey Butt head,Where are you,what are you doing,who are you doing it with,why are you doing it,and how are you doing it.I think that just about covers it.They say if you ask those questions,your children are less apt to get into trouble.Okay,I guess we're too late in your case,buuuuut,I do believe you are neglecting your followers.At least throw us a bone!
Love ya

I'm sorry everyone. I'm extremely busy lately. I get off work at around 10, and then have to do reseach to figure out where I'm going in the world. I'm leaving very soon. During the day before work, I have to run errands, ie, visiting travel agents etc. I promise I will write more soon, but at the moment I don't have any time.
