Well, Christmas came and went.. can't complain. As I get older now, the fun of Christmas deplemishes; it's like there is no more "surprise and spontaneity" in opening presents anymore. I mostly know what I want now and that kinda takes the fun out of it. But I'm 23, almost 24, what do I expect now?
I wanted to get the Y2k+4 (almost 5) update done and uploaded by new years but it looks like that isn't going to happen. For a person who has nothing to show for it, I find a lot of ways to always becoming busy doing a whole lotta nothing and even the somethings are not that spectacular. What the heck did I just type in that sentence? Ah, must be the 3rd can of Dr. Pepper talking.
*BRB, Gotta get the 4th! Ok, back!*
I went to West Palm today. It was a fun ride; no trouble finding the place. I went to fill out an application for a security job. Hopefully I can get that job and money will be rolling in soon so I can start paying my debts. I'm planning on working there knights and going to the academy days or something like that. If I could, I would drive around in my car all day if I can get paid for it but I can't, so I won't. :-( You know you are in your dream car if you wouldn't mind spending all day and all knight in it! The Neon I had was OK but just not big enough and cooler enough. ;-) My new soon-to-be Black Beauty is and there is just so much shit I want to do with it but it will take time, which I don't mind because I won't be getting rid of it at all; you might as well bury me in it! Yea, I'm a pretty screwed and obsessed dude who has loves his car more than his girl, which is in his dreams still... or is it??
Well, it's getting late. HOPEFULLY I can have that update by next week, along with my new year revolutions! Keep your fingers crossed!!
Until next time,
Rocque out! Or, as some people say, "Rocque on, son!"

What was once messing, is clean once again
The pic above is the "after" desk pic of the way it "should" look, with the exception of those ATM and bank slips. Also, notice the headline? Well, it's 4:17AM and I didn't get much sleep today so that's why it's like that. It comes to show you how important a good knights rest can be. ;-)
Until next time,

Why its time to clean my desk
The picture you see above is the state my desk is in right now. I, as most of you would, think now is the time to clean it up a bit. The reason why I need to clean it now is because I just got a envelope in the mail from GMC and it was balance transfer checks. I was wondering why they would send me these type of checks in the mail if I have no card from them. I proceeded to go through my garbage can in my bed then browse on my desk and came across another envelope from GNC and loe and behoe, it had the card in it! Sheesh, and I didn't even know I got one from them. I also just got another from Bank One. I'm not going to use these new ones; they are just for emergencies. What I might do, though, is just take $100 from each and but that money towards the other ones I need to bring down because the interest on these new ones and low. Thats's all I'm going to say for now!
I'll update this sometime later,
Justin

Just a bit Brisk
Well, it's the middle of December now so here is the lovely 2-week stretch of winter here in Fl. I woke up this morning and was actaully quite chilly and the A/C isn't even on! ;-) It's 57 degrees outside now but with the wind, it feels like about 50.
I've been a little busy this week so far. I was supposed to help someone at 9am today but I just couldn't get out of bed that early again because I did it the day before; one day is enough for that nonsense! lol! Also, the dude calls me up at 8:55AM! It didn't even hit 9AM or a little passed to have him call and "wondering" where I was. Sheesh. He didn't leave a message after he called the 2nd time so maybe he wanted to cancel it. The guy was an ass anyway and I didn't want to deal with his nonsense. I am waiting for another phone call right now from this other dude in For Pierce I'm supposed to see and bring some stuff over for him but he has not called yet so I'm just sitting here chillin' like a villin'. I did receive a "Incomming Call" but the person didn't leave a message so screw them.
My cousin's computer is back with her now, along with her cute lil' daughter Kari (she told me to write something about her so there it is!). She's only, um, 13 I think so I have to watch out what I say in this post. ;-)
My car was dripping its blood so I took it to Goodyear. It's been dripping it's life juice for a couple weeks but I finally took it someplace to have it checked. I looked at my baby from below and it wasn't a pretty sight. The blood was dripping on the side of the heart and down to the artery. The Goodyear dude there said it will be $400 to get it fixed. I was like, "well, holy shitballs!" in my head and told him I already had a mechanic who was supposed to have it all fixed so I'll take it back to him. $400 my arse!
I took it to the mechanic to see if he could check it then and there so I can see what was wrong with it and get a price. He, of course, couldn't, so I made an appointment for this Tuesday at, what I thought was, 10AM. He said he get's there at 8AM and I said ok. There is no way I was going to be there at 8AM though, considering I don't go to bed until around 4AM.
This blog will be continued because apparently I was supposed to be at that guys house right now, even though I was waiting for him to call me to make sure it was still ok to go over. Amazing, isn't it!

I pulled out looking like I spilled Prego thick and chunky sauce all over...
Welp, here I go again! Time to update my blog! First off, as the three of you had probably noticed, I added the Firebird Conversion section located here: http://www.justinrocque.com/firebird/firebirdmain.html. For those other five billion who never check my site out anyway, there it is justin case you want to take a peek. I am working on the Knight Rider part of my site too, which will soon be up shortly and the conversion page will move into that part. I just realized I gotta finish up that y2k+4 thing because the year is almost about to fly over again. It's just insane how the years are going by these days; justin sane! ;-)
Nothing that much exciting happened last week or the one before that. I was mostly not working because I haven't gotten any phone calls and the one's I did never bothered to call ME back when I LEAVE them messages. How rude!
I made and appointment to speak to the academy coordiator guy and saw him this morning. I thought the academy was going to cost close to $6k+ but it's only around $2.6k, which is still too rich for my boat but, with some help, I may be able to get on board in February. I already signed up and paid for the TAB and that other test which tests your physical abilities or something. I'll get more into the academy stuff in a separate part of my site. Yea, that's right, I said separate part! I'm going to have a sub-site dedicated specifically for the academy and then police department in conjunction with a blog for those specific things. Maybe I will start working on that this weekend.
I just got my new chrome-plated center caps for my Firebird wheels in the mail today. As soon as I get a chance, I'll take a close-up pic of those. Now, all I'm waiting for is the money clip, steering wheel, coin holder, and tail light assembly.
Well, I would continue typing some other stuff but my sinuses were bein' a biatch all knight so I had to pop some pills which are about to take affect and...... I have to finish this PC I am still working on. :-(
Well, until next time,
Justin......
Oh, PS, about the title, well, let's just say it's something I kinda experienced but what it was will be remained classified, except for a select few people and they know who they are! ;-)

Time to dance my little fingers over the keyboard again!
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!

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.
Later,
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.

Well, at least that's a load off my ass!
I wasn't going to post anything today but I just had to say I finally paid off that ticket so that's a load off my ass and I don't have to stare at it sitting next to my printer anymore. I had to hand it in by the end of this week otherwise it will be too late and I'll have my license suspended.
Now I can enjoy next month of not paying for anymore advertising except for the newspaper ad. Also, when the Money Saver people credit my checking account and give me back my $265 they owe me because I did NOT approve them of putting my ad in their magazine again because I had canceled it a month before, I will be pretty damn happy. I called them about it on Monday and I have not received credit yet so another phone call will be made tomorrow. See the shit I have to put up with? It's a bitch.
Update on the surprise.....
Because of a major necessary delay, it will probably be delayed until the beginning of next week. It shouldn't be later than the middle of next week this time. This is certain.
Justin Rocque, the Security Guard?
Class starts this comming Monday for that Security class. It's 6-10pm for two weeks. After that I can apply for a "D" Security license and get a job doing that at knight and still be a computer consultant during the day. And like I said before, if the security thing does not work out, I must resort to the last resort.
I'm going to head to bed early tonight for reasons I will probably explain tomorrow in the week ending post.
Have a great knight,
Justin

Where's my damn sign?
Yep, it's been a while again, I know. Good news is I've started to work on the Y2K+4 update. That should be done by the end of this week. It is going to be the best essay yet! ;-)
I managed to pull in a decent amount of dough last week yet.... I have nothing to show for it again. I've decided to have no more ads except for the newspaper one because that is where I have been getting most of the clients from and the other ads have been eating me dry. I wanted to try and have a go with that big surprise last week but that has to hold off until the beginning of this week for reasons I cannot disclose right now because then it won't be a BIG surprise anymore! ;-) I know, I am just full of surprises!
Unforntunatly I had to work today so I didn't get to work on that essay or anything else for that matter except get a DVD burner. I made $100 and got a free printer/scanner though so that was cool!
Yep, I got a DVD burner. I was going to hold off on that for a while but I need to back up 13GB worth of stuff from someone's old hard drive. I'd rather back the stuff up to a few 4.7GB DVD's then over 20 700MB CD-R's. I went to Best Buy to see what they had and they had a bunch of crap ones and the other good ones were out of stock I guess; I don't know if they were or not but apparently nobody came over to ask me if I needed help when I've been in the isle for 15+ minutes, yet when I don't want to be bothered by anyone they all come out of the wood work.
I ended up going to Circuit Shitty and saw a Sony one there and got it, along with a 25 spindle of DVD-R's (Yes, there were DVD+R's but I don't know the different formats yet. Mainly it's because one drive maker came out with one standard and another came along and made another and it got all confused from there but if you get a DVD+-RW/+-R or if it says dual format compatible or something, you are safe. Funny.... I just looked at the bottom of the box and it reads:
Note:
PLEASE ACT RESPONSIBLY
Before copying anything onto a DVD+R/-R (and all the other formats it listed), please make sure you are not violating copyright laws.
HA!! I'll be sure I do that! I don't want to get caught by the copyright police.
I installed the DVD drive as a slave and had the jumper on it set as "CS" (Cable Select). I turned the PC on and it did just that; went on and stood there with a "-" on the upper left part of the screen. I was like "what the hell?" I turned the PC back off and tried it again; no go. I had to unscrew the case again (I thought there would be no problems so after I installed the drive, I screwed everything back in and stuck the PC back in the desk but, lucky me, problems always arise when I do the SIMPLEST things with a PC) and take a peeksy. It looked good from my end but I changed the jumper setting to "Slave" instead of the other one and cranked the PC back up. Still no go. "What the hell is wrong now?" I muttered. I turned the PC back off and decided to change the jumper of the "Master" drive to "Master" instead of "CS." I turned the baby back on and all was good.
Now it's time to install the software for the drive. I popped in the disc it came with in the top drive (the cd-rw one) and waited for something to happen. It span and nothing popped up. It also made a funny sound so I opened the drive and then closed it again. Nothing happened so I tried opening the cd drive from "My Computer." It didn't even show the name of the cd in the drive nor did it show anything on the cd. I took the cd out again and looked at it. To my surprise.. way on the bottom of the disc it read "DVD." It's only obvious why a DVD came with the DVD drive and not a CD so I didn't even go there. I put it in the new "DVD" drive I installed and... to my nonamazement, it worked! So, where the heck is my sign? For people who are reading this and don't know what I'm talking about... read this...
There are some people that should have to wear signs that just say, "I'm stupid."
That way you wouldn't rely on them would you? You wouldn't ask them anything. It would be like, "Excuse me...oops, never mind. I didn't see your sign."
It's like before my wife and I moved from Bay Shore to Coram...our house was full of boxes and there was a U-Haul truck in our driveway. My neighbor comes over and says, "Hey, You moving?" "Nope. We just pack our stuff up once or twice a week. Just to see how many boxes it takes.... Here's your sign."
Last summer I went fishing with a buddy of mine, we pulled his boat into the dock, I lifted up this big 'ol stringer of bass and this idiot on the dock goes, "Hey, y'all catch all them fish?" "Nope. Talked 'em into giving up..... Here's your sign."
I was watching one of those animal shows on the Discovery Channel, there was a guy inventing a shark bite suit. There's only one way to test that. "All right Jimmy, you got that shark suit on, it looks good...They want you to jump into this pool of sharks, and you tell us if it hurts when they bite you." "Well all right....hold my sign, I don't wanna lose it"
Last week I had a flat tire, so I pulled my truck into one of these side-of-the-road gas stations, the attendant walks out, looks at my truck, looks at me, and I SWEAR he said, "Tire go flat?" I couldn't resist. I said "Nope. No, I was driving around and those other three just swelled right up on me...... Here's your sign."
We were trying to sell our car about a year ago, a guy came over to the house, drove the car around for about 45 minutes. We get back to the house, he gets out of the car, reaches down and grabs the exhaust pipe, then goes, "Darn that's hot!" See.... If he'd been wearing his sign, I could have stopped him.
Anywho, it would be cool if I got the same amount of money as I did last week so I can pay off my one card before $300 get's dedected from it for the last installment of the shitty receipt paper ad. What a load of crock that was! I didn't realized until now I could get a LCD display for $100 more than that price! Damn! There is this whole week then next week and it's November already. Time sure is ticking! Then it's December and we all know what goes on there!
Well, I said a shit load tonight!
Time to call it a knight,
Justin
I managed to pull in a decent amount of dough last week yet.... I have nothing to show for it again. I've decided to have no more ads except for the newspaper one because that is where I have been getting most of the clients from and the other ads have been eating me dry. I wanted to try and have a go with that big surprise last week but that has to hold off until the beginning of this week for reasons I cannot disclose right now because then it won't be a BIG surprise anymore! ;-) I know, I am just full of surprises!
Unforntunatly I had to work today so I didn't get to work on that essay or anything else for that matter except get a DVD burner. I made $100 and got a free printer/scanner though so that was cool!
Yep, I got a DVD burner. I was going to hold off on that for a while but I need to back up 13GB worth of stuff from someone's old hard drive. I'd rather back the stuff up to a few 4.7GB DVD's then over 20 700MB CD-R's. I went to Best Buy to see what they had and they had a bunch of crap ones and the other good ones were out of stock I guess; I don't know if they were or not but apparently nobody came over to ask me if I needed help when I've been in the isle for 15+ minutes, yet when I don't want to be bothered by anyone they all come out of the wood work.

October is starting to shape up pretty good
Welp, the thing I wanted..... I just picked up tonight and it is sitting someplace right now. I won't get into the full details about it yet but it's something which made me pretty happy and it's something I have wanted practically all my life. There will DEFENETALY be a page on my site devoted to it. Soon, after I get everything straightened out with it, it will be posted on my site for the world to see! ;-) (Well, not the world, but the 4 people who actually view my blog!)
October is turning out to be ok so far.... I just hope I will be getting more people to help out some more soon because I am financially screwed. I have a feeling everything will turn out ok soon but I just need it to be SOON! I am going to take that security class next month like I said for a couple weeks and apply for a job. But....... should that class get canceled like the other one DID, I will have to resort to the... last resort, which I didn't really want to do but, right now, it's something I KNOW I can do and will be happy doing it and be financially stable.
And yes, I know.... the hurricane page is not up yet but with the shit which went on this weekend and this week.... I just haven't gotten around to it. I know I haven't been doing anything with my site in quite some time but it will be comming.... soon.
Until next time,
Justin

The straw really was in the bag!
Well, it's October now and things look like they are going to shape up (or ship out). I hope the rest of the year won't be as shitty as these past few months were.
I went to KFC yes... well, two days ago and the dude said the straw was in the bag. I went home and took all my stuff inside with me. I was getting ready and prepared to eat my KFC feast, which I haven't had since a week or so before the hurricane, and discovered there was no straw in the bag like the dude said. "What a bastard! Is it so damn hard to put a straw in the bag?" I shouted. So, I found another straw and proceeded to eat and try to enjoy my feast. I went back in my car later that day and discovered the straw on my seat. "What the heck was it doing on there when it was supposed to be in the bag?" I mumbled. I guess it fell outa da bag, biatch! Ah well, I just went on with my pitty life after that.
About the things getting back into shape...
I had a current client call me about her PC again. It was the same monitor deal as before. I looked at the pins on the monitor cable and a few were missing. I told her this may be the problem why the PC isn't detecting the monitor anymore. I went out and bought her a new Samsung monitor and came back. I unplugged the old and put in the new. Same thing happened. I was like, "well, shit on me!" I opened the case of the PC and took a peak inside and, to my horror, found a family of dust bunnies having a party in the case; it was wild in there! I looked at the graphics card and told her, because of the dust bunnies, she may need a new one because it probably overheated and blew.
Yadda Yadda... I took the PC home and did a massive clean of the inside of the case and gave the bunnies a new place to have their cake.. and eat it too. It was in the vacum! LOL! They made new friends and are now happy. So, I sucked and blew all them away and fired up the PC. After I did that, the PC has been working good again. So, apparently, the card was getting too dusty and not enough air was circulating from the fan. I had the PC on for a few hours now and it's been working pretty good now. Another job well done for the Dragon! ;-) Oh, and I charged the monitor on my already-high-card and deposited the check so I have a decent amount in the bank before it "capoo's."
Also, another good thing (yea, there's another! Isn't that just dandy?!), I went back to the IRCC site to see if the security class was available anytime soon and..... it is! Lucky me! Starting next month, I'll be taking that for a little more than a week and should be getting me a security job after that. I told my friend Bob about it too and he should be registering for it also soon. We will be in the same class together again. It should be fun. Hopefully THIS class won't get canceled!
Welp, that's enough good news for tonight!
Time for bed,
Until next time,
Justin back and better than before!

WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!
Just got our electric back in the house a few minutes ago! Yea baby! I'm glad we didn't have to wait 5 days like the last one. Tomorrow, I'll be looking for some honey's to bring over the crib if they have no power yet. ;-) Even though this bitch was worse, it wasn't as long as the Frances one so that's all good. I think the curfue is still in affect today so I'll be going out tomorrow and take some pics and see how many people are out there.
Welp, it's all good now and I'm glad there will be no more of this for a while longer... I hope!
Later,
Justin...... back in black, my niggas! (Well, not really in black yet because I gotta wash my dark clothes but you know!)

Welp, here it comes again
Welp, just got word from my Grandfathers' house; electricity is out already over there. it's just a matter of time it will be over here too. The bitch didn't even land yet and the power is already out. G's! I wish the bitch was a human so I can bitch-slap the shit out of it!
Ah well, until next time, if I make it through this one.....

At least I have some good news before I hit the sack
I finished and passed that online 8hr drivers course I had to take from when I went to court. As soon as I get the certificate in the mail, I will send that baby out with a $163 money order for the citation.
Welp, it's bedtime now. Gotta wake up tomorrow and deposit a check and do some other stuff,
Knight,
Justin
PS> Notice there was no naughty words in this post! How about that! I am semi-happy but I don't know how long it will last! ;-P

"You are so selfish!"
That was a quote some girl I have been chatting with for quite some months now said to me tonight. She told me she got a new car today and I said I would probably have gotten one on Saturday but because of the hurricane, fuck it now.... along with everything else. Aparently I didn't ask her questions about her new car because I am so selfish.
Yep, the cat it out of the bag; I am trying to get a new car. It's the car I have always wanted but now because of hurricane 15, I highly doubt it will happen. It's just another thing which is just too good to be true in my shit life right now. I don't know, I guess I was just asking for too much. But with all of the unselfish things I have been doing this year and the year before that, I think I deserve something.
I guess you want some examples. Well, OK.....
Let's start back in the day when I lent a girl one of the biggest paychecks I have gotten at Shits R' Us to help her with her so-called "problem." It's been almost two years and she hasn't payed me back since, nor have I seen her again because she moved away and came back to Fl. I'm still waiting for it, biatch! Show me da god damn money! Oh, and I was driving her (and her boyfriend) places too, just like the one below!
All those times I picked up this guy who worked at Shit's who had no money to pay to get his car back from the impound and afford new tags. The dude lived on Gatlin. It's like 15mins from my house. Quite a few of the times I didn't even have to work that day but I drove him anyways because I am such an unselfish dude. Then he got fired from working at Shit's and I haven't heard from him since yet; from what I have learned from my former roomate, he now works at the mall. He said he will pay me back by taking me out to dinner sometime and give me money back for gas and all. I'm still fucking waiting, mother fucker! Where da fuck is it? Show me da money!
Or how about those time when I help those people with their PC's and give them a massive discount because they have money issues such as myself? Yea, I thought so. That doesn't sound so selfish to me, does it? Maybe I wouldn't be a poor fuck because of that?
When I'm driving, I usually tell people to pass me or to go ahead of me when there are a shit load of cars behind me. I know if I do this too, I will be getting to my destination later because they always drive so slow when they go ahead of me but, hey, this is Florida...
Fucking
Losers
ORidinary
Idiots &
Dumb
Asses
But you know what? Most of the people from here come from New York anyways, so yea!
Oh, and how about the time this week when I helped an old friend with his f'ed up PC and only charged him $50 when I could have EASILY charged him over $100? Too selfish? Maybe I should have not charged him at all?
Or those times when I help people out on the weekends and not charge them a higher price for it? Weekends are the only days I get to actaully just sit back and relax. I usually get people calling me every day at around 9AM! Man, you know I don't wake up that early. So, the weekends I like to sleep in but sometime I can't do that either.
I guess I am being selfish. I guess I am not doing enough things to help people. Maybe I should volunteer at a chirch or at those shelters since another hurricane is comming soon.
Ah well, I guess I will be going to hell for not being a nice enough dude and not getting stepped on enough like I was back when I was in public school.
Shame on me!
Welp, later... unless the next hurricane kills me this time,
Justin

You want a god damn update? YOU GOT IT!
Well, it's been a god damn while, hasn't it? Tough shit!
Want to know what was going on with my shit-filled life? OK!
Just to sum it up:
Big-ass Frances came two weeks ago and fucked shit up around here. Electricty went out for five days; some houses much longer than that (like my grandfathers). Try having no air during the summer in Fuckida for a week. Let me just say this: It sucks ass! Big Time! And if you think the nice, ice-cold (no electricity, remember? So, NO hot water!) shower would help cool you off... you are dead wrong! You freeze your ass off in the shower and after you get out, you sweat again 15mins later! Was the shower worth it? Hell no! You might as well just sit there and cool off in your hot sweat for the whole day... make that 5 days. And I won't even mention food because....... there was none. How can you cook shit with an ELECTRIC stove? You can't dipstick so don't bother thinking of an answer to that question! And going out is out of the question too because we were not aloud to leave the house until the shit was over. And I won't even mention that fucked up 8PM curfew!
So, the week before the shitcane, I had no work, during it, no work (duh!), the week after it, I was sick for a week and couldn't do shit! This week? I had work but that was barely enough to pay my bills so I had to ask my white momma again! So, here I am, when I was just starting to stablize...... a poor unfortunate again!
What am I going to do this weeken? Welp, I was on my way to get something I wanted in a LONG time and maybe FINALLY be happy with my shit-life for a while but apparently another hurricane wants to fuck up my life some MORE! SO THAT IS OUT OF THE GOD DAMN QUESTION NOW! Yep, shitcane Jeanie or Jean, whatever the bitches name is will be rolling its fat-fuck ass on in this weekend! Maybe the fat ass will miss, but I doubt it!
What is that? Hurricane 15? Could be!
Looks like my weekend will be fucked, along with the rest of the week AGAIN!
Maybe this is my sign to get the fuck out this shit state and move back to where I came from! Good ol' NY! Clark Kent had a sign. Why can't I have one?
That's your damn update for now! If you don't like it, tough shit!
Later or maybe never if I don't last this one,
Pissed to da limit again,
Justin

So, NO hot water!) shower would help cool you off... you are dead wrong! You freeze your ass off in the shower and after you get out, you sweat again 15mins later! Was the shower worth it? Hell no! You might as well just sit there and cool off in your hot sweat for the whole day... make that 5 days. And I won't even mention food because....... there was none. How can you cook shit with an ELECTRIC stove? You can't dipstick so don't bother thinking of an answer to that question! And going out is out of the question too because we were not aloud to leave the house until the shit was over. And I won't even mention that fucked up 8PM curfew!
So, the week before the shitcane, I had no work, during it, no work (duh!), the week after it, I was sick for a week and couldn't do shit! This week? I had work but that was barely enough to pay my bills so I had to ask my white momma again! So, here I am, when I was just starting to stablize...... a poor unfortunate again!
What am I going to do this weeken? Welp, I was on my way to get something I wanted in a LONG time and maybe FINALLY be happy with my shit-life for a while but apparently another hurricane wants to fuck up my life some MORE! SO THAT IS OUT OF THE GOD DAMN QUESTION NOW! Yep, shitcane Jeanie or Jean, whatever the bitches name is will be rolling its fat-fuck ass on in this weekend! Maybe the fat ass will miss, but I doubt it!
What is that? Hurricane 15? Could be!
Looks like my weekend will be fucked, along with the rest of the week AGAIN!
Maybe this is my sign to get the fuck out this shit state and move back to where I came from! Good ol' NY! Clark Kent had a sign. Why can't I have one?
That's your damn update for now! If you don't like it, tough shit!
Later or maybe never if I don't last this one,
Pissed to da limit again,
Justin

What's up with the damn forces?!
Well, it's hurricane time. There's a big ass one out there now ready to hit who knows where because it is going awfully slow now, which sucks ass because we all want to get it over with already. Also, I've been all week without any business calls which sucked massive ass!
I got my new barebones PC a couple days ago. I got a fwd message from a friend which was from Tiger Direct. It's a Wintergreen barebones with a case, mothboard, 2.7ghz Celeron CPU, power suppply, cd-rw drive, and floppy drive for $100 with rebates (plus shipping and tax). When I got it three days ago, I opened the case and realized it had no brain so I had to wait another day for the box to come with the brain. I ended up getting a new 17" screen at Best Buy too because I really was getting tired of that small ass 15" one. It's a big difference! So, I put the cpu and cpu fan on the motherboard and then backed up my stuff on the other hard drive in the PC then took out the one Windows was on and yadda yadda, transfered everything to the new one and installed Windows XP Service Pack 2, which has been running pretty good so far. More about this will go on my hacker page of my site soon.
I met this cool girl online who is in the same state I am finally!! She seems pretty nice so far and looks cute. Maybe I will take a ride to where she is some day and see how it goes from there. That's all I'm going to say about that now because I don't want to jinks anything.
What I'm going to finally do with my site is make the 2000+4 update essay thing, along with a few others soon. Maybe by the end of this week, depending on this shitty hurricane.
That's all that's been going on for now!
Until next time,
Justin out!

The Forces.... (Fart 3)
Damn, I didn't realize it's been this long since I posted something in my damn blog!
About the forces continuing...
Before the time I spoke to Rich I believe it was (I really don't remember when it was now because it's been so long and I'm kind of behind on my life updates to put in here), I was thinking about my former girlfriend (if I can call it that because, even though we were talking on the phone a lot and online and she came down for a couple days, everything after that went capoo. Well, she kinda was my girlfriend for a bit I guess but eh), in a non-emotional way, if you know what I mean. Later that day, while I was on my PC, she popped up and IM'ed me, after we haven't chatted online for over a month. We didn't talk about much and all of a sudden she sighned off without warning so that was that. A goodbye would have been nice but no. The last time she IM'ed was to beg me to send her the PJ's she forgot at my house when she was down, which is still in my drawer. I'm sure her boyfriend she is living with (yep, that's right; living with!) can buy her a new pair and more.
A week ago, I went to my favorite pizza place in Fort Pierce and saw an old friend and professor I haven't seen in more than two years! I did one of those double (mint gum) takes (one to know one) until he recognized me and I went over there and we had a nice, wholesome chat for around 10mins. He then gave me his number so I can call him whenever (probably tomorrow) so we can hang out again because it's been a long while and it's not good for 2 cool dudes to not keep in touch because a whole lot of things has been going on in our lives since then and it ain't funny!
A few day's ago, I recieved an email from my friend Cathy which was a fwd from Tiger Direct about this barebones system from Wintergreen. It comes with the case, power supply, motherboard with cpu, cd-r/w drive for $99 with rebate. I looked at it at the site and said it was time for HP to go and to just take the shit in my HP and transfer it to that other one. I know I didn't HAVE to get this but I knew if I did, I can upgrade that PC in time much better than the HP one and I'm just getting tired of using a brand named PC anyway for reasons I'm not going to get into here right now (maybe I'll make an essay on my site one of these years about it). A main reason I got it was because this will be officially my first PC I ever built on my own. I've taken apart many PC's and swapped a crap load of stuff but never really offically started from scratch like I will be doing with this one, considering a barebones PC is one which usually needs to be put together.
About my site...
I know I haven't been doing diddly squat with it but it's because I've been going to those damn chat rooms again, which is really not worth it anymore and will discussed in another essay soon (probably a year or two also! LOL!). But I have stopped doing that again and will start to update it some more with stuff I've been meaning to do for quite some time! Stay tuned for a fun ride!!
Let's see, I started this at 12:30a and it's now.. 2:25am! LOL! Took a while but I was watching TV in between and doing laundry!
Until next time,
Good knight,
Justin

The Forces That Be (Fart 2)
Going back to where I left off in the previous post to get it over with...
So, I arranged to meet with him the next day at his office to check out his PC. I went there the next day and tried to fix it to no avail. I went home to grab the stuff I forgot and as I was on my way back, he called saying he fixed it himself but we arranged for me to help him out the next day at 10AM.
I managed to get there at about 10:05AM the next day. I didn't see his car around so I called the office... no answer. I then called his cell phone... no answer but I left a message. Here I am at his office early in the morning when I'm usually enjoying a good Sunday's rest at home and he is not here. If this was going to be too early for him, he could have said so... but didn't. I just wanted to make it at 10AM so we don't spend the whole day working on the PC because Sunday is my "taking care of shit around the house" day and I'm sure he didn't want to be in his office on a Sunday anyways.
So, I went back to my car, starting to sweat my ass off because it was pretty hot outside. I waited in my car until around 10:30AM then I decided to drive around Indian River Drv for a bit because it was getting hot in heah (because da roof was on fire! Da ROOF!)! As soon as I was about to park my car... my phone rang. It was him, of course (and a horse is a horse of course, of course, justin case you didn't know that!). Appently he had a long knight and overslept. So, he appoligized and we changed the time to 5PM.
I'm sure you people out there (even though a select 3, including myself) probably don't care nor want to here the above but it kinda falls into place with what I'm about to say here..
Which I forgot since its been a few days since I wrote this now and I had it in draft. Long story short, it kinda pisses me off when I'm on time, even a little early, for someone, mostly when it's a 1/2 hour drive, and the person doesn't even show up but then calls me an hour later after I have been sweating my ass off and wasted gas for no reason. Also, when I worked with him, he always used to get pissy for me being late and not calling so.... here he goes doing the same to me, except I wasn't in his office already with the A/C like he was and I was never really more than 5mins late anyways.
He is a pretty nice guy though, albeit too nice sometimes (if not most), as am I but now I am working on decreasing my niceness (another story to come after this... way after!). I will only be nice to mostly my family and the few friends I got; that's about it!
Anywho, I am glad I left the PI Agency when I did because shit hasn't been going the way it should have but I'm sure it will be going good soon. As his friend, I do want his business to stride (my word! LOL!), as I do mine.
Anywho, enough with that subject because I got more... comming next!
Until a few minutes,
Justin

Damn those forces that be! Damn them to hell!!
I really don't know what's up with the odd forces and strange behavior in life; I really don't.
I was going to start someplace different then this but I might as well back it up a bit (beep beep beep) to about two weeks ago...
Welp, it was some day about two weeks ago (the day will dawn on me later on perhaps and maybe I'll put it here when I get it but I doubt it because I end up forgeting about doing stuff like this), I got a call at around 12:00 in the afternoon when I was in bed still, contemplating on getting up or not. I looked at my phone to see who it was and saw it was an old friend and former boss whom I have not heard from or seen in about a year.
Not knowing what he wanted and not knowing what I wanted to say to him, I let the voice mail answer it. He left a message and I listened to it. He basically stated his name and said to please call him back because he needed my help. I got out of bed and sat there wondering what it was he needed my help with and how much trouble he could possibly be in where he had to call me, after I haven't heard from him in oh so long. I ran some thoughts through my head... "could be a financial issue" ... "or it could be a PC problem he may have" "or maybe something happened to someone and he needs my help to help that other guy" "or maybe he needs me for a case." I really wasn't sure what the heck it was so I sat around for around 30 minutes thinking about returning the call or not. If I did, it might be something I don't want to deal with anymore, it might be something bad, or maybe good. But, if I didn't, it would be another one of those things which will remain in my head. An unanswered situation I had in life I could have gotten an answer to but just let it go, not knowing what the outcome of the situation would be.
It's like the times when I got a phone call on my phone and sometimes didn't answer it because it's either too early or it's an out of location number. They don't leave a message so I wonder if it was a mistake call or somebody who wanted to talk to me but just didn't want to leave a message. Most likely, it's probably those people who want to sell me advertising or health insurance or other shit I just don't give a shit about right now.
So, after careful thought, I decided, for the reasons above and good hearted faith, to return his call. It turned out he had PC problems and needed my assistance.
Ah... to be continued...

Justin

A court is in session, a verdict is in (Fart 2)
(And NO, that's not a typo!)
To continue where I left off a couple days ago, which I didn't get to, the above title was going to discuss the day I had in court.
If you were to go back to my blog, way back to here, that will give you the background 411 about it.
So, anywho, I went to court for that at the end of July (Friday) and got there by 9AM. There were around 15 or so peeps where I was and towards the front, left-hand side, there were all the FHP's. I didn't think I saw mine there so I was kinda relieved. No show, case get's desmissed.
A few people went up and discussed their case and there was this one lawyer there handling 3-5 people at a time, sat down for 10 minutes or so, then went back up and did another 5 or so. He started to piss me off.
FINALLY, at 11:50, that's right 11:55, close to four hours of sitting and listening to everyone elses' bull, I finally heard my name being called and noticed the officer already there from before hadn't move at all. SO, I knew that was the dude who pulled my ass over.
Long stort short, I pleeded not guilty to the change of address charge and guilty to the speeding charge because since I was going more than 70, it was still speeding, which I think is a load of crock...... from the crock pot.... made of stainless steel like the spokes on a bicycle wheel. So, the "Magestrate" dropped the address change, after I confused him with it a few times, but I had to still pay the ticket fine and goto 8hrs of class.
There are more things which has been happening in my life, mostly quite good but, because of time constrainsts right now, I will continue that either later tonight or tomorrow.

Justin

Not Realizing Anyone Will Actaully Read My Blog
Welp, last night was pretty interetsing.
I didn't realize, at the time, I would ever speak to that special girl again but, like I said last night, I ended up talking to her again for over an hour. Now that we are now talking again and are in good communicado, I pretty much take back what I said about the relashionship last night. Even though some of it was true, I did miss talking to her and am glad we are talking again. Considering I don't got much friends and not ONE girl to talk to at all, it is something I kind of need in my life right now. Also, she is pretty beautiful and really fun to talk to so I am pretty flattered she wants to talk to me too. So, anywho, I would still like for her to come down to Fl one day and spend more than a few days here with me (not the 2 days like with that previous girl) and get to know her more and have her watch "Knight Rider" because she had never seen it before! ;-) I know it will be pretty hard when she leaves and goes back to Indiana and I don't like LD relationships like I said but I need some excitement in my life and, for now, this seems like the only exciting thing I got comming to me.
I am going to try my hardest to not get too emotionally attached because of the stuff already noted above but I know that will be pretty hard for me considering I like people and get attached to them pretty easily but I'm working on it!
Anywho, that's pretty all I gotta say about that for now. I'll keep all yous' updated on the status of our relationship but for now it's going much smoother than before because I'm such a cool dude! ;-P
Click here for a cute pic of her
I got more stuff to update regarding my life tomorrow

a court is in session, a verdict is in
Been a while, time to keep abreast on the latest news, views, and reviews!
Let me give you a rundown on what has happened since the last time...
First, I had to get a new battery for my car; I got stuck at the gas station and had to ask
someone to just it for me. There goes about $125 I didn't want to spend.
I've been having trouble with my front-right car speaker; it's been working on and off. After the battery in my car was replaced, I had to have my friend reset the custom settings. When this was taken place, we noticed there was no sound comming from the speaker anymore. I went to Circuit Shitty to have them check it out but when I went there, it was too crowded, so I left and called the next day and drove back over. The guy checked it out and found out the speaker was bad. I told him I got an extended warrenty with it so I took it to the service desk and told them about it. She put the reciept number in the computer and realized it was good until 12/04. She then realzed it was for the stereo and not the speakers so... long story short, I had to get two new front speakers and I opted for the 4-year warrenty this time! There goes another $100. Now that I got the warrenty... I will give these speakers 2 years then blow the shit outa them so I can go back and get a free upgrade because they went bad! ;-) I can play their game too and what a fun one it will be! I had those speakers for less than 2 years. Sheesh!
A couple days ago, the right speaker of my stereo blew too. It could be because they are a bit old now. One of these days, when my friend who lent them to me, we will go on ebay and see if there are some being sold and replace the ones inside the speakers case' with the new ones.
I started getting a bit bored of just reading my emails on my PC along with a few other repetive things so I... started chatting in the AIM chat rooms again. I know I said I'll probably never do it again because of the previous incidents but, ah, I couldn't help myself. I told myself I'm going to remain unattached and unemotional this time, which has been going ok so far but, because I'm a nice guy with feelings, it's kind of difficult. I conversated with one girl for quite a bit then she got all "pissy" and "bitchy" one too many times and always wanted to talk everytime I was on the PC because she had nobody else to talk about and didn't have a great life. So, I got a bit pissy to her and told her a few things and she has not spoken to me since. ;-) I don't have all the time in the world to just stay on my PC and chat with a girl I may never see. I also don't like LD (Long Distant) relationships either so I will never devote my time to that kind of thing anymore. After a while of trying to find some girls old enough for me to chat with, I got kind of tired to.....
welp, it's about 2hrs or so since I was trying to finsih the blog post but..... for reasons beknownst to me but only the forces of life would know... I just got a strange IM from that girl whom I was not really chatting with anymore... and about 1hr or so later, we ended the night in good terms again. I really don't know what it is which is making me want to conversate with her and have some kind of bond but I really am trying not to because I know how it will end. She's all the way in Indiana; it's like I will ever see her. She might come down to Fl to visit her grandparents and maybe come see me but that's way up in the air. Do I want it to happen? Well, yes. Will I get all emotional and shit when she does and then leaves? I don't want to but, because I'm a guy with feelings, I probably will but I'm sure I will handle it better than the last time.
It's 3:15am and I found this interesting movie on TV.

Let me give you a rundown on what has happened since the last time...
First, I had to get a new battery for my car; I got stuck at the gas station and had to ask
someone to just it for me. There goes about $125 I didn't want to spend.
I've been having trouble with my front-right car speaker; it's been working on and off. After the battery in my car was replaced, I had to have my friend reset the custom settings. When this was taken place, we noticed there was no sound comming from the speaker anymore. I went to Circuit Shitty to have them check it out but when I went there, it was too crowded, so I left and called the next day and drove back over. The guy checked it out and found out the speaker was bad. I told him I got an extended warrenty with it so I took it to the service desk and told them about it. She put the reciept number in the computer and realized it was good until 12/04. She then realzed it was for the stereo and not the speakers so... long story short, I had to get two new front speakers and I opted for the 4-year warrenty this time! There goes another $100. Now that I got the warrenty... I will give these speakers 2 years then blow the shit outa them so I can go back and get a free upgrade because they went bad! ;-) I can play their game too and what a fun one it will be! I had those speakers for less than 2 years. Sheesh!

Not bad for a couple days work
Hey again! It's me!
"Me who?"
It's Justin, you dipstick!
"Oh, ok"
Boy, don't I get forgotten easily? Anywho, I updated the site a bit more and added a few pages. I rearranged the main page with help from my P00d. I also FINALLY added the "Why I Created This Site" page and I just started working on the "Computer-related Links" page. I have a mad load of favorites to go through which is why it's taking forever to get that page going. Hopefully, I can have it done by the end of this week.
Welp, it's almost 3:30a. I want to get to bed at a decent hour toknight because I have to be at someone's house tomorrow at 10AM! Gotta make that dough!
Catch you's later,
Justin

I'm back, better than ever before!
I know it's been a while again but my business has been booming nicely and I moved out of my old roomates house into my uncles house; bigger space for me and more privacy. It's pretty sweet. It also took me a few days to get my DSL back but it's back. I finally got a sweet check from this computer I have been working on for the past two weeks. Here's a quick rundown of the situation.....
As I typed some of it, it was pretty long.. so I will be putting it on a separate page on my site! ;-)
A new advertising thing has come into affect now so I will see how that goes and see if I get any people from it. Also, next month, I will be having another thing too. I will then see which one gives me the most people and stop doing the other one. I will still keep my ad in the paper though but I will word it less to make it cheaper.
I signed up for the "Probation & Parole" class a couple weeks ago and dropped it the next day! The class required a lot of reading and also we had to do a 10 minute presentation on a topic we had to have by the next class day! The presentation won't even be done until towards the end of the class! I wasn't going to do go through all that for a class I didn't have an interest in and a degree I just want to get already and put aside. I signed up for "Introduction to the Courts" yesterday with a professor I had before for the fall. It should be an easier and funner class. I wanted to take it before but I tried it online and blah!
What else is new? Welp, last knight I was looking on ebay to see if there were any new or interesting Knight Rider stuff to browse. There was a couple things for sale I kinda wanted but wasn't a member. Long story short, I became a memeber and betted on a couple things and purchased one thing. ;-) They were both pretty cheap though but there was this other thing I saw but... eh. Maybe next time! Well, ehem, I just added that to the list! :-\ That's it for now!
I guess that all I'm going to say for now.
I'll add the updated stuff I will be doing to my site in a bit later on.
'Till next time,
Justin

The rest of it
I finally finished making that web page. It was a bitch to do but here it is.
It looks like shit started hitting the fan again today because I wanted to just get my oil changed, fuel injector tune-up, and clean the crap off my battery contacts but, of course, that would just be too easy and too cheap. It turned out I needed a new "Oil Sending Unit" thingamabob because my oil was leaking. So, what I expected to only cost a tad over a $100 for all the stuff I wanted done, turned into $190.05! I also went to West Palm and spent over 3hrs sitting and waiting for my roomates damn car to get fixed too. It's times like those I wish I didn't sell my laptop. I had a client to see today but I, of course, canceled that so there goes $25. Luckily I got a new one for tomorrow morning and should make $35.
Oh, and another thing... I thought I would get that 1-credit I'm missing fixed but NOOOO, it can't be done, requiring me to take another damn class I don't want to take and spending over $250 for the damn class and damn book. So, there's more money I don't want to spend going down the drain! So, there goes my summer of wanting to visit NY because I haven't been back there in over 5 years. Now, I'll spend the summer stuck in the Police Academy, taking a class I could care less about.
I wonder what next week will bring me,
Justin

Why they gotta be stingy on the mashmallows??
I just had some of that "Smores" cereal straight out da box and boy are the cereal makers stingy with the damn mashmallows! It's like I look in straight in the box and see only 5 'mallows on top! I'm sure there are no more than 40 in the damn box. And why are the damn 'mallows crunchy in cereal. When I ate it out the small box I got from my sister, they were soft n' chewy; these were all crunchy! Anywho, enough of that...
I had a pretty busy and shitty week (and that's not including the bird shit I got on my car which is still caked on even AFTER I got my car washed through the automatic wash!)
The week wasn't that bad until Wednesday evening when a current client of mine informed me my ad wasn't it the paper anymore. I didn't believe it because I renued it on June 6th so he got the paper and showed it to me. Low and Behold, the ad wasn't in there! It was June 16th and my ad wasn't in the paper. I was pretty pissed. I left the place in Stuart at arounf 9:45p and it was a bitch to get out of that area because there were no lights on that dark, pot-holed, dirt road. I'm glad my brights worked this time but every time I used to put them on, all the lights would just go off on the outside of the car.
I got home at around 10:30p after picking up some Taco Bell & Mc.D's (and Mc. D's didn't have anymore crapple pies left so I ended up getting a Sundae in place instead which was pretty damn good, btw). As soon as I got home, I opened a coouple letters I got in the mail from the Regestry Tape Network, which is the Co. making the receipt tape with my ad in the back. I opened them up and it had a "Proof Copy" of my ad and if anything on it was wrong, it said to fax in the correction or call the number. Welp, it turns out, they apprently had not received the email I sent a day after I saw the guy to sign up for the thing with my "updated" business card because they printed out the "older" version, which I did not want! So, I had until the next day at 4pm to contact them about it. Also, I received an email from the guy who did the signs for my car about the rest of the stuff I wanted to do with it and all is good with that but instead of the price being $30 like I assumed, it is going to be around $60 so that's what I get for trying to assume; I made an ass of myself!
After that email, I got another email from a person I helped out previously with her scanner and printer, which I fixed when I was there the last time but is now F'ed up again. I sent her an email on the matter already but I guess she didn't get it so I sent another, more intense one, which I'll post on my site along with hers right now... ah, screw it. I didn't realize it's getting late and I'm hot and I gotta wake up early again tomorrow and head to Stuart to help someone else out.
I'll continue this ranting post tomorrow when I get back,

Updated a bit
I added a car pics section on my site, located here.
I spent quite a few hours trying to sort the pics and editing the pics but there it is! It looks kind of sloppy and slapped together but I don't have the time yet to make it look good like I want it to yet but there it is for now!
--
I tried Mozilla's Thunderbird email client. All I'm going to say is it has quite a bit of potential to be my Outlook Express replacement for an email client! It's that sweet for something free!
That's it for now,
Justin

Wow, been a while
I can't believe how time flies.... when your havin' fun! ;-)
I got that email back about the Smart Computing page and the guy said he will allow 25 articles but no more so... instead of having them ".mht" format like I planned, I will just link them all to the site, which shows the partial article. This is better anyway because the full articles take up a lot of space on my server. I also understand the reason for not allowing all them articles but it's alright. I will probably still select a few to be full and eventually make my own (props to Drew in NY!) and use the SC as a reference to them. I added another page to my site called, "Justin Rocque's Recommended Software." I am going to be adding more stuff to that soon but for now, that is the main layout. I also have an idea p00d in NY will be taking care of for me also which I can't wait! I will be adding some more pics of my car I just took yesterday too.
Life--
I will be moving out this other nest by the end of this month to a bigger and better place. ;-) This place was good... until I outgrew it. I'm starting to feel claustrophobic (and yes, I had to look that spelling up!) in this room but it was a fun year while it lasted!
I can't wait until the end of the month because that will be when the receipt ad starts rolling in! I should be getting some people from that because I'm the only computer dude in there. I also got another one I'm thinking about doing so I can drop the ad in the paper but I'm not sure yet.. and I'm not sure if I want to drop the ad in the paper because I get a decent amount of people from that. As a matter of fact, I just got a call from someone today who saw my ad a few months ago! It's another "Dragon Speech Program help" but I'll still be helping them out with it! Damn that Dragon program! Damn it to hell! ;-)
Other than that, nothing else new is going on.
I'll be keeping you guys updated,

Bidnis' is still Boomin'
Just want to make a quick update while I'm still awake.
Business is still booming this week, which is GRRRRRREAT!
I am still working on the Smart Computing permission to that page I want to put up. I sent another email and got a response this morning so I responded with more details about what I want to have on the page so I SHOULD receive a response sometime tomorrow.
I went back to St. Jucie West today to the Cascades and check out someone's PC because it wasn't working. I brought it home and plugged it in using my stuff and it worked fine so I assumend it was a faulty monitor and told her about it. I went to Best Buy and got a new one for her then went back to her house with it. Just to be sure the monitor didn't work, I plugged it back into the PC again and it worked fine! Sheesh, what a bitch that was! Going all the way to Best Buy to purchase something big like that and now having to return it? Sheesh!
Anywho, the monitor has been a pretty good passenger in my car. ;-)
I am HOPEFULLY going to TRY to goto the academy to take care of that other business so I can get that thing over with. And I will also get a hair cut!
Anywho, that's all I got to say about that!
If I'm not that tired toknight, I might update my site a tad maybe.... Oh, and one more thing.... since I loaded the code, as you can see on my main page, my site was entered into the Langa List and I got mad hits from it! It appeared in this newsletter issue, here! I didn't expect it to come on so quick so now I gotta update it a bit more and email him a thank you! ;-)

Pretty Damn busy!
I've been pretty busy working this week so I haven't had a chance to update the site at all. Every day I've been waking up at around 9AM to be at peoples houses by 10AM and when I get home, I end up falling asleep and somtimes going straight to bed at around 11PM. I made quite a bit of dough this week; more than I made in my life I think, including what I got Saturday. I will be seeing this person again sometime this week for more training. I also have someone for tomorrow and I will be bringing my laptop (make that two people) to sell to someone and while I'm there, I'll be helping out this persons' cousin. I can't wait to cash my checks and get that dough for the laptop! It will actually the most money I made in less than two weeks than I have ever before! It feels good getting money.... to pay off my credit card bills. :-) Too bad I have to wait to get that LCD monitor I want. :-( But, business is boomin' and the time will be comming soon! I'm still working on getting rid of spyware and adware from my cousins' laptop. It's a bitch of a process; editing the registry is required to get all the mess out. it's take around 5hrs so far. It could cost a client over $200 to fix this all without the restore cd's or Windows CD's!
Welp, I got nothing else to say right now... back to watching "The Net"
I'll be keeping you guys posted,
Justin

I said I will keep this updated and I stand by it!
I know it's been a few days since I posted here and I'm sorry. I've been working my ass off these past 2 weeks with waking up at around 8AM to get to places by 9AM and 10AM and when I get home, I'm fighting to stay awake. I have emailed Smart Computing about the page I have on my site and the wheels are in motion for the response, which should be tomorrow hopefully. The person who read it CCed it to someone else, who did the same thing again. So, it's someplace at Smart Computings Headquarters awaiting for a reply. As soon as I get the response from them I am looking for, I will be updating that page of my site and then it will go public. I also have something else I've been meaning to add to my site which might come soon, I hope, depending on how busy I will be this weekend.
Lifewise, I helped three people this week and made a nice chunk of change. If this keeps up, I will have nothing to worry about financially. I also have another thing I will be doing tomorrow maybe to help with my finances. That is..... Grants. More details later. Today was the easiest $35 I ever made for PC assistance. It was a pretty nice place in Stuart. I'm not going to devulge what was wrong with the PC because they paid me a bit more to keep my mouth shut. LOL! What I will say is, I got there, turned on the PC and everything worked fine! ;-) I'm da man with da magic touch!
On a side note, something big "might" and I do mean "might" be going down in a month or so but I'm not going to get into the details until I know it's afloat. It's a good thing, though!
Other than that, besides trying to catch up with my emails, magazines, and such, nothing much else is going on. I plan on going to the academy to speak to someone to take care of that 1 credit f-up. HOPEFULLY I can get that fixed and get my damn degree FINALLY and not have to worry about that anymore!
Until next time,
Justin

When things turn out good after the shit hits the fan
After the incident which occurred two days ago, everything is going pretty good so far. I received a call early Wednesday morning for some PC assistance from someone located less than five minutes from my house. Went there to help out for 3hrs and got my payment and will also be going over there again tomorrow morning (Friday) for more computer training.
Today I met with someone at Friendlys, which was much better than the last time I met someone there. It was an advertising opportunity I took, which should increase my clients in a month. I will also be getting noticed in Palm Beach Gardens too which is pretty sweet!
Oh, and another thing to note; the sticker ads I have on my car got me another client who should be calling me soon too. I was waiting for him to finish using the ATM and after I was done with it, he asked me a few questions about helping him copy his videos from his video camera to DVD.
I haven't gotten a chance to do anything else with my site in a couple days because I have been busy working and sleeping and other stuff. I also just got Office Xp for training purposes for the person I will be seeing again tomorrow. I might be training him a bit with that on Monday maybe.
That's it for now. Time to get back to printing out some training articles,

Been A Couple Days
I didn't realize I had not posted in a couple days. I thought it was just last knight but I guess it was the day before also. I was pretty tired last knight so that is why I didn't post. I don't remember about the day before that. Anywho, I didn't do much to the site except add a little poem I did based on something which occurred today. You can read it here.
That's all I'm going to say about today. When you read the poem, you will know why.
Time to get ready for bed and hope tomorrow won't be as shitty as today was,
Pissed to the limit,
Justin

Nothing much going on yet...
Just uploaded the Smart Computing page but am not making the link to it public yet for the reason I explained yesterday. With the .mht files it has, it took up around 30MB of space! It's a good thing I got 150MB of webspace.
That's all I did with that. I also added a couple things to my cousins page.
I went to my grandfathers house for a Thanksgiving feast, even though it isn't Thanksgiving. I'll be back there tomorrow to cut the damn grass and wack the weeds. I wasn't going to do it but by the time my uncle does it, it will be next year; I also can use the money to add into my savings account.
Post tomorrow maybe,

Me again!
Hey, how's it going?
Just wanted to give you guys a quick update on my site and a bit about me.
I have started creating the "Recommended Smart Computing Articles" page. It's a page with the Smart Computing articles I read and recommend. For reproduction reasons, I am waiting until I send an email to the editor to make sure I am able to put the full articles on my page because in order to read the full articles you have to be a subscriber. I am but I don't know if I can post the full articles to my site. I have them in a ".mht" format to preserve the contents. I'm sure I will have no problem with it though, considering I can get them more people to sign up for the mag. I also made a page, located here for my cousin who just graduated from middle school and is on her way to HS!
Other than that, nothing much else went on today to note! It was just one of those days. :-
Later,
Justin

Updates to site and not much on life
Hey, hows it going today?
I fixed up the PC sub-site a bit more; added recommended newsletter and mag sections. Other then that, that's about it for today. I will be doing more stuff tomorrow.
Lifewise, eh... woke up late (4:30p! I honestly haven't woken up that late in a long time!) and went out to get my roomate a card because it was her birthday today. I felt a little bad because her son doesn't get her a damn thing so I decided to get her at least a card. I was also happy yesterday when I found out I got a $399 credit on my credit card for something I decided to do but then realized it wasn't worth my time or money so I finally got a refund on that. I'm not going to say much about it except I fell into one of those so-called pyramid things which was a load of BS! So, my credit card bill will be $399 less now which is good! I'm a little upset because I didn't get one call for some PC help. I don't know what's up with that! The only call I got was from some guy saying his name was the same as mine and he thought it was cool because my name was in the paper! Sheesh! In two weeks, I'll be selling my laptop for $500 to someone. That money will go into my savings account, which is going to be just that: savings!
Welp, that's it for toknight! Time to upload my updated pages and read some email!
Have a great day,
Justin

Screwin' around!
That above title was the reason I was late going to work back in the "Shits R' Us" days. It was recorded on the paper on which I got written up on. LOL! As the "All in The Family" them song goes... "Those Were The Days!" I'm glad I don't have to deal with bosses anymore for a while...... or for good; especially with the experiences I had with bosses, it really sucked!
Anywho, I didn't do a damn thing with the site today because I was "screwing around" with some online flash and shockwave games. I rarely play games at all but I usually go back to playing the ol' 80's games now and then. You can fine some cool ones here. I found them too be pretty fun for free games online!
Well, I didn't totally screw around; I was catching up on my emails some more and thinking about some ideas for the site, which should take affect tomorrow maybe!
Oh, one more thing: Brian and I FINALLY went back to the gym after 2 weeks of a hiatus! Boy, I really did miss that place and I sure did miss the beautiful dutch girl at the front desk. She is pretty damn sweet! I'll be letting you guys know when my move is made, if and I when I decided to make one! ;-)
Time run my EyeQ and then goto bed,

Added essay sub-site to site!
Hey people, hows it going?
I made some more updates to the site, which are:
1)Added an essay sub-site to the site
2)Used the < align= "justify" > tag to make the essays look much neater.
3)Did a few more touch-ups
That's pretty much it for the updates.
As for my life...
Went to pick up my signs today for my car. I had the guy put them on for me because I knew if I did it I'll have all those air pockets in it. They came out pretty nice. I will be going back next week for a couple other things I want done to my windows. After that, I went to the college to take care of my 1 credit issue which could not be fixed unless I speak to the teacher himself. She did fix some of the classes which showed as not being part of the degree. I emailed the teacher so now I'm just waiting for a response from him. If I don't get a response from him, it will cost me $150 to take another CJ class plus another $100 for the book which I don't want to do because I don't want to learn CJ stuff anymore; that side of me is on a hiatus. Other than that, nothing else really going on. I might be making that car pic page tomorrow. If I do, you know where to find out!

A little updates on site but no updates on life
Hey, hows it going?
I updated the site a bit. This is mainly what I did toknight:
a)changed title layouts on top of pages
b)added fade affect to pages
c)added main page link to bottom of pages to easily go back to the main page.
That's about it for now. No new content yet but I'm working on it!
Lifewise, nothing special going on. I will be picking up my car signs for my car. As soon as I get them on and take a pic and make a car pics section in my site, I'll post them to the site. I'll probably be posting them to the business site first.
Time to finish up and get to bed!
Have a great day and I'll post more tomorrow,
Justin
