I’ve never known anyone like
Jastin Artis Batts. It has officially
been 10 years since I was his
roommate in college; since I have
seen him develop from a hard
working English major into an
outstanding music artist, person,
and father. He has been through
many ups and downs but
continues to strive to be an
amazing person. He has a musical
talent which has developed into a
Godsent Masterpiece. From
writing lyrics, producing, guitar
perfection, and rapping/singing,
he is like no other music artist
out there! You can find him at
http://www.justapuppet.com/.
March is also the month of his
birthday. Please join me in
wishing him many more!

HOW?
Many days I sit around evaluating my life and the things that have
occurred. I would say that throughout everything, there is beauty in
processing the events and actions that take place day to day. It is
like an art. For me, it is also like role play or modeling; but I guess
that is just the Therapist in me. The reality is I feel I have the
opportunity to become a better person each day that I actually look
back and examine the things that have occurred. I think of what
could have happened if I had done this or not done that. I always
consider the consequences and well, rewards. I look at all of the
possibilities and all of the opportunities. Time is an enemy to me. I
never feel there is enough of it. Honestly, if I had more time, I could
take on more of those possibilities and opportunities. Yet, what is
time? We never know when something is going to happen so I
continue to go through this self-evaluation on the unknown budget
of time I have been allotted. I often try to pace myself and
understand that time controls me and my actions. Still, time is my
friend in the same breath. Without it, I don’t get this beauty within
experiences; I don’t get this improving technique. How can I do the
things I do? I revisit the actions I partake, because time is
beautifully horrible.
Acting
So, I had the opportunity to experience acting first hand. I will be a
Background Artist on the show “TURN” on the television station, AMC
which will begin in April 2014. I will be on episode 7 and 8. These are only
minimal roles, but this opportunity allowed me to appreciate the sweat,
time, perfection, and all of the steps it takes to be someone you’re truly
not. I enjoyed the lessons of direction, patience, and repetition. I will more
and likely review other acting opportunities in the future. It was a different
kind of experience, but it helped me to remind me of who I really am.
“Who am I? I am Patience. I sit around and am able to tolerate. I
am often the smartest and most hardworking. I wait, observe, and
witness the worst conditions and yet react in the most sufficient
way. Without me existing, the world would be running around
getting into all kinds of pain. Who am I? I am Patience.”
