Well.... it's been a long time since I updated this but I had other things I needed to take care of. Good news... my surprise has FINALLY come into affect on the last day of the security class, which was Friday, November 12. It went, quite well, actaully. I'm sure you all are wondering what it was and why it took so long so here it is...
I got me a 1990 Pontiac Firebird! This is the car I really wanted since I was a young lad (actaully any one between 1982-1990 but this one will do too!). I'm not going to get into the specifics of how I got it and all that stuff here; that will be devoted to another page in my site comming soon!
Now, a few days after that was another surprise...
Remember about that thing I wasn't too sure about in my last blog post? Well, I have decided to go into the "Last Resort" now. Before I get into that, let me just back up a bit in my life and what has gone on since then..... *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep*
As you know, I moved down here about 5 years ago from NY. As soon as I moved down and finished up my education to get my "Good Enough Diploma," I went to the Police Academy to see about joining the it because that's what I wanted to do since I was in NY. Because I had no drivers license yet (I was taking the bus in NY all the time, no need for a lic), I couldn't join the academy so the guy there insisted I take the "Intro to Private Investigation" course. I took that and my mind got switched a bit so I ended up taking all the available PI classes and criminal justice classes to become a PI. When I finally got my license and car, I became an intern for the Public Defenders Office in Fort Pierce. During the time I was in the class doing that, I got picked, along with 2 others, to work for a dude who was opening his own agency. I agreed to do that and yadda yadda, shit hit the fan so I quit, er resigned.
Out of a whim and needing money fast because I was almost dead broke, I decided to open up the www.dragonpctraining.com business. A year later went by and I realized I didn't want to persue this computer business full time; I liked playing with PC's as a hobby, not working on them and with them. So, because money was tight too and I wanted to get back to the criminal justice-type field, I decided to take the security officer class and get a license after that and work as a security officer at night and do the PC thing during the day. When I was in the class, I realized I was the youngest dude in there and the rest were 50-80+. Yadda yadda, I thought about going into security but the pay wasn't good enough to survive and I'd rather do something where I was more active and not just "sitting at a booth or gate letting people in." So... since I am 1 credit from the CJ degree, I decided to not throw away all the time and money it took for that education and put it to use..... so.... I've been thinking and realized I have been doing everything backwards kinda so.... I'm just going to go right into Law Enforcement because I know I will defenatly like the job, I will have more than enough money to support myself ($30,000+ a year), full benefits, possition increases and stuff, different jobs in the field, and more (well, not more, but you get the idea) importantly, after working there for a few years, I will have the experience I need to get my PI license and I don't need a security license if I want to do that later on too!
So, this is going to be a big step to take in my life, although all the steps I have been taking since I have been down here have been pretty big. It is going to be a fun ride and I can't wait to start it!
I'm going to end my blog update on that note and I'll keep you guys (only 4 of you, lol!) updated with more info soon and let you know when that other page will be up, along with other stuff!
Knight,
Justin

Good News! I just saved around 11% APR on my Credit Card payment!
Welp, I decided to just forget the whole chat thing for good this time. I know I said it last time but this time is the end. Is it really worth chatting to someone from way out of state? No. Is it worth going to chat rooms and finding people near me to chat with for a chance to meet them? No. Why bother going through like 20+ girls to see if they are "real" and not "bots" in the rooms when all I need to do is just go out to Walmart or someplace and find some there? I don't know.
So, that has something to do about last knight. I'm not going to bother to leave AIM on all the time anymore to see if anyone decides to want to chat with me because I know they won't; I am always the one who has to start the conversation and when I do, I have to be the one to talk to them because if I don't, they will get pissed and bitch at me for not talking to them. Is my life that exciting where I have so much to say after I spoke to them the day before? Hell no! Why do I always have to be the one to start a conversation anyway? Why can't THEY talk to ME? When I finish the other things I want to put on my site, a page with the chat conversations I had with most girls will be posted.
I also have some good news; I received a notice from my Capital One credit card company saying I can transfer a credit card account over to my Capital One card which has a whopping $300 limit and turn it into a $2300 limit if the account I am transfering is more than my limit on the CO card, which it was. So, I did that and now, instead of paying the 17.740% rate for the amount on my Bank Of America card, I am only paying 6.9% until June '07 on the CO card and after that it will be only 12.9%, which is still pretty lower than my other ones.
More good news....
My security class ends tomorrow. Just have to take the test and that's it. I will be able to get my license after that. But there is another thing about that which I am not sure about, which I will get into later on. It's not really bad news; it's just news.
Oh, the reason why I didn't update my blog at all last week was because I helped over 6 people in the mornings and had class at night so I was drained those days and also ended up sick by the end of the week but I am doing pretty good now.
Anywho, that's all going on for now.

Justin

Well, screw it then!
I was just looking at my college site (www.IRCC.edu) to see if the "Intro to Courts" class was available this spring; it is not so I am thinking about taking the "Intro to Law Enforcement" class to get the degree finished with by the summer but I only see "Live TV' available with the instructor I want to take so far so.. I am going to wait a bit and see who will be teaching the "TBA" (To Be Announced) classes.
-- Well, I'm just not in the mood anymore to continue this blog tonight for reasons I will probably write on here tomorrow. -- Let's just say I'm pretty disgusted with someone right now.

Not enough hours in my day to update this damn thing!
WOW, have I been busy this week so far! I helped out two people today in the morning through the afternoon AND went to the security class at 5pm until around 9pm. It's like I haven't actaully been home until 10pm tonight and it's just great. I can't complain because I always bitched about wanting to stay out and not be home much so it's all good. I have someone to see tomorrow also and Friday and Thursday I will probably go back to Hutchinson Island and get back that laptop with all the spyware and viruses so I can restore everything back to a clean slate with the restore cd's which just came today. It's only close to 1:30a and I am pretty pooped. I think I'll be going to bed early tonight.
This weekend I helped my uncle unload stuff from the truck a few times because my cousin's moved back temporarily. During that process I thought I'd have to go to the emergency room again and waste another $400+ because I screwed my right arm up and couldn't bend it straight without it feeling as if my muscle was about to pop out. Lucky for me, with my own way of healing things, I managed to slowy straighten it out myself and it's all good now.
I'm waiting to see who one, ehem, won the election still. It looks like Bush but who knows. I have a feeling who it is but I don't want to ginks anything.
Anywho, that's it for tonight because I'm just about to pass out. Hopefully I will be able to do more shit with my site soon but we'll see.
