Hi Everyone,
As I write this up-date to you all, I’m happy to say that as of June 24th, I am a college graduate! It’s a great feeling to have after two years and two month of being a slave to my school and now I’m a free man! I was always told that I would not be able to handle college. Perhaps at the time they were right. Nevertheless, I did it, and I have a new out-look about myself. And I have my college ring to remind me that I can do ANYTHING in this life. Now I just need to find a way to pay of the loan of $10,000.00! So here is the last up-date on me being in school for 04.11.05-06.24.05

CATS:
My babies are doing great. Mayling is now getting into me brushing her. So every morning when I get up and turn on the computer, she sits on my desk looking at me like she ready for me now! LOL. This is where she is most loving.
Mia is not into brushing as much. But still loves to sleep on the end of the bed at night.
I have been taking lots of new photo of them, and I will send some to you when I get through 10 more photos.
HEATH:
My heath is doing okay, nothing new. However, now that I’m out of college, I will be hitting the phone on Monday to get people off their ass and get moving! Wish me luck.
FUN:
I went to see two movies at the Loews Theatres Boston Common. I saw Star Wars III and The Longest Yard. They were okay; I liked them.
OTHER:
In April, my computer screen died right before my midterm. Not having any money, I asked my school if they had any old ones they were not going to use. They had one and nice enough to give it to me. So I really luck out on this one big time. I’m still waiting for my hard drive to come back. It will be in soon and the computer will be up and running well again.
My Reverend Dr. Maureen Kemeza of nine years at The Parish of Saint Paul has stepped down to do other things she wanted to do with her fife. We had a party for her and we had fun with a lot of laughs and tears. I felt it was time for me to move on as well. Maureen gave me what I needed at the time and now it’s time to find something new, but Maureen will always be my friend and miss her dearly.
In May, I lost a friend from high school. Matt was 33 and had DMD (Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy). We did a lot together; computer graphics, play sports, play music, and went to FL. I had not seen Matt for fifteen years, but talked on-line with him. So I took a cab to Wareham to see him for the last time. He looked good; the funeral home did a great job. I’m glad I went.
I caught a very bad respiratory cold that really killed me! It took me four weeks to get over it. I could hardly breath the whole time. I was so HAPPY when I could breath again. And I didn’t end up in the hospital. People who smoke have no idea what they are going to themselves.
In June, I went back to my high school to see another good friend who I have not seen in fifteen years for an alumni day. It was good to see my friend Chris. He has been living at a hospital the whole time. I am going to help him get out on his own.
CHANGES:
The graduation walk in August has been moved to October 22, 2005. It is still at Fanevil Hall. The time will be at 1pm to 3pm. I will send out e-mail when I know for sure.
I had the redo my KiverNet web-site to make it more business like. However, the old site will still be up under a new URL as soon I fix it up.
Here are some links to what I have been doing lately.

Well I’m at a crossroad again and I’m still working out a game plan. I want to thanks all those who believe in me through college. It really helped me get through all the hard parts. I’m not sure what’s going to happen next, but I’m sure it will be great!
Hope you all are doing well, and let me know how you are doing.
Love you much,
Justin
