It's 7Am now, time to update my blog!
I got that new security job and have been working from 6AM-6PM which is why I haven't had a chance this past week to update this at all. I'm up now thinking I had work from 6AM-12PM but I was wrong; it's from 12PM-6PM so I guess I ought to use my time wisely since I'm awake.
The job isn't bad; I get to sit in a shed thing and make sure the people comming through have a pass or decal on their car. If not, they get logged in and I hand them a pass. There are a lot of dead moments when people don't come through at all for an hour and more so I can use that time to catch up on my reading. ;-)
I got that new headliner I ordered installed in my car two days ago. My uncle helped me do it. It looks pretty good.
My Birthday came....... and went! That's all I gotta say about that!
Hmmm... what else is new.....
I went to get drug tested yesterday for the job. It was the first time I ever had a test. I passed of course so that was that.
It's been kinda chilly these past few weeks. It's been a long time since I had the drippage (the running of the nose phrase) and the frost-bit feeling hands. It sucked sitting in that shack at 6-11AM in 40 degree temperature.
Welp, that's all I gotta say for now.....
I'm going to get ready in a bit and get a hair cut and then head to the post office and then..... buy some toilet paper because there is no more. ;-)
Until next year,
Justin

All Done!
The PC is all done except for installing a CD burning program because the CD burning software CD I got with it is.... blank! It wasn't that bad redoing the PC but it was tedious!
Now I gotta get ready soon to head to west palm and take care of that stuff and....... try to stay awake for a few hours more to continue working on the PC and bringing it back and to get my sleep schedule on track. Same time next week, I'll be at the gate!
I may need to bring a long-sleeved shirt because its 50 outside right now! ;-)
Knight, er morning,
Justin

PEEE S!
It only took 10 tries to upload that blog I just did because.... "there were errors" said Blogger! I wonder how long this one will take to upload now.....
Ah...... I have a feeling this isn't going to be a good day but hopefully that will change in a few hours...

I'm on no sleep now! NO SLEEP!
Apparently I took on a job today too big to handle. All I'm going to say is it pisses my penis off and I had a gut feeling I would run into problems with the ATA drive and USB 2.0 bullshit and drivers for the display and other shit like that but no..... I ended up taking on the damn project anyway all to get a damn lexmark printer to work on the machine because it's working fine on the other ones in the house.... Now I have to stay awake all day because I have to be in West Palm by 8AM so there goes my sleep for tonight!
It's just times like these where I want to just take the damn PC and throw it off the cliff!
I'm sure I'll be getting bitched at for a few programs gone too because there is no CD to reinstall them with.. not that the person uses the programs anyways.
Ah.... just when the day was going ok.....

My new home
I found myself a new home to live in because I can't afford to live any place else right now. Here it is below:
It was the biggest one I found for such a great price!! ;-)
Nah, I'm kidding. Since it's been a while, here are a few updates on what has been going on:
I got a new starter for my car from the zone (Auto Zone) and my friend's (Uncle Bri) brother-in-law was finally able to install it for me on Monday evening. Since then, the car has been starting without any problems now. However, the noticed the head gaskets or valve covers leaking (I'm not a mechanic so I'm not sure which one he said) so my uncle is trying to find the invoice from the mechanic who spent the month on my car so we can find out if he touched the engine parts at all; I think he did but my uncle doesn't so I'm not sure. I'm sure he said he install new head gaskets or valve covers or something. I think I should go back in blog to the year 2004 to check on that! ;-)
The big ass box you see above in my room is my new car headliner, along with sun visors and speaker panels. It looks like the same color like the one in my car but darker than the "doeskin" tan which I was trying to get for the whole "KR" conversion but it's still good enough and I can always change it much later! The color is still tan though, which is ok. All I need to do now is find someone who can put it in for me. I called a few upholstery places and one said $75 and it would take 4hrs and another said around $90 and it would only take an 1hr and a 1/2. I may go for the latter place but I'm still looking around. I also got my tail lights I ordered on ebay on the beginning of this week to so that is cool. I am looking for a person to install that too because I don't mess with any of that stuff for fear of breaking it.
I took the BAT and PAT tests on Tuesday of this week. The BAT (Basic Ability Test) was pretty damn easy and 25 of the 125 questions did not count so I'm sure I passed that shit. It was a test of basic police scenarios, grammer questions, and questions with a few graphs and maps, and the last were a few of those psychological questions with finding the shape which fits in the object to the left and which does not fit into it.
The PAT (Physical Ability Test) was also a cake walk. Time to pass was 6:04 (min:sec) and I made it in 4:30. For a person who had not run in a long time and walk much and who just had a cookie to eat in the morning before the tests and waiting until around 5:30p to take the test, that was pretty good. It just consisted of sitting in a car, getting out, opening the trunk to grab the revolver, putting it on the chair, running 220 yards (slow jog), climbing over a 4ft wall, jumping (most people walked) over a few hurdles, zig-zagging through cones, crawling through one spot, dragging a 150lb dummy 100ft, then doing the course all over again backwards, shooting the gun 6 times in each hand, putting it back in the trunk, going back in the car and that's it! The test results will be mailed out in the self-addressed envelope we had to fill out ourselves next week. Unfortunately, I thought I would be able to get into the Police Academy next month but they have to do the background check and I got a packet to fill in and all that so I won't be able to enroll until April or so which is kinda good because...
I got a phone call today while I was at checkers eating my food at around 4PM from a guy at the security place I filled out an application for. I haven't heard from them so I was going to call but now I don't have to which is sweet because I don't like doing that kind of stuff. I have an interview for tomorrow at 10:30a for a security job. That will be sweet because I won't be going to the academy for a while and my PC biz is slow anyway so I can work there full time and start paying off my debts and maybe I'll have enough money left over to fix up my car some more. WOOOHOOO!!! V8 here I come! Ah.... sweet back paint job.... I can't wait! I choose not to believe in the so-called "jinx's" anymore so I'm just going to say whatever and hope for the best! That's part of my new years revolution because it's time for me to revolutionize the "Whole Package"!
Holy shiscabibble! I started this at 10:55PM and its now 3:00AM! I been too busy looking at the ebay site to see if I can find more stuff for cheaper. I was trying to get this center console lid for my car for around $15 because mine has a crack in it but as I bid, I was always outbid by that one dude bidding on it. After it went up to around $30, I said screw it.
That's all I gotta say for now. Tomorrow I will talk about that thing I got a week ago but didn't get a chance to add it here yet and then some....
Night,
Jutin

Got me a new toy to celebrate
Looks like another week flew by! Where does the time go? Sheesh! Nothing much special really happened this week. I fixed a PC for a new person this week and met an old friend I haven't seen in about a year at the place we used to hang out, the good ol' BT! We had a fun time and caught up on a lot of things. We have decided to make that hang out a once or twice a month thing because we don't really see each other anymore.
My car is really starting to take on the roll and life of KITT because it really is starting to have a mind of its own. I drove it to Mc. D one afternoon and all was good. I then had to leave to drop off a PC for someone and for some reason, my baby wouldn't turn over, as in it would keep churning but not totally start. I thought it might be that idle switch thing my uncle told me about the last time because I had that problem last time and put it in neutral and it started. This time, it didn't. I called my uncle Bri and he thought it could be the starter or fuel pump. His brother in law couldn't come over to check it out so I ended up taking the ol' Dragonmobile. I was not used to it anymore because it is much higher than my Firebird and, for some reason, the rear-view mirror was on the back floor with a crack in it so I was kinda pissed off about because, even though it's not my car anymore, I still have feelings for it. But, ah well!
After I came back home, I had my uncle take a look at my car. He too said it might be the starter and popped the hood and was going to try to smack the starter to get it going again but it was blocked under some other "car parts" (I'm not a mechanic and I don't know dip about cars so don't laugh!). After that, he closed the hood and tried to start it again and miraculously, it started..... and started again... and again. So, it's been working ever since but I bought a starter today and am going to have Uncle Bri's brother in law check it out in the morning and probably have him install the new starter I got anyway so I don't have to worry about getting a new one in the future; this one also has a lifetime warranty. When I do that, I will also have him check out the other "car parts" to see if they are in good shape too.
Anywho, enough about that for now.....
Until probably tomorrow,
Justin

The Desert Of Champions
Today wasn't that exciting but I got a call from a client I haven't spoke to in quite a few months who needs my help; I'll be seeing him on Thursday. I also got a call at around 7:30pm for a new person who needs some help with her PC and... a call from another person who has that 10+ year old PC I put another power supply in which doesn't work anymore so I told him his best bet is to let go of it and get a new one. I'll be hearing back from him soon. I also got a call from that classified ad woman asking if I wanted to make any changes before she puts my ad in again. Oh, and I saw someone this morning and helped her out a bit.
Those tests I have to take to get into the academy are next Tuesday. I can't wait to do that and get it over with. I'm sure I'll have no problem with it but it's just something else I need to get off my chest already.
My cousin from New York was down here for a couple weeks. She will be leaving tomorrow morning. I wish I was able to spend more time with her this Christmas but I wasn't able to. Ah well, she'll be back in a few months.
The below is my kind of desert for champions:
Surely I needed to wash that down with some milk, so here is me downin' the whole glass!

NOTE: The above is a video phile and may take a while to download if you are still putting along with a slow dial-up connection.
That's it for toknight!
Until next time,

Die, biatches, DIE!! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!
I know, I know, bad joke but I just couldn't resist. I was looking for my usual "Dragon" drink but there was none in Winn - Dixie so I got this instead.
A few months ago, I got an email on my old Juno account which I hardly use anymore, which is mostly a spam account now and it said a tsunami was on the way and to look out. Knowing it was a spam joke thing, I sent it to my p00d and he started sending me pics from the website. Here it is, a few months later and, unfortunately it was no joke and a tsunami hit and it hit hard but not here, thank da lord! The hurricanes hit us enough; there is no need for a tsunami to top it off like topping a milk shake off with a cherry!
If you would like to read more about it, click here
That's all I got to say for now.
Until next blurb,
Justin
