As of the latest advisory from the NHC, Earl is impacting the areas in and around the Leeward Islands, winds are at 135mph and it is classified a Category 4 storm.

The latest forecasts take Earl right up the East Coast between Thursday and Saturday. It has the potential to make a direct hit on Maine Friday into Saturday depending on track.

It is forecast to be a Category 2 at that time.

Bowling for Sanity

Jay Cote - WX4WTF — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 04:13:51 +0000

Well, well, well, what to do when your mind is melting down and your one friend works a lot? Hang out at work!! Of course my work consists of an awesome bowling center with a full bar and kitchen, so it makes it rather easy to justify going there. Of course I usually end up punching in and working. I don’t mind, I like money just as much as the next guy. We just hired a new guy this week, the boyfriend of my friend’s sister, he’s a good kid, I hope he’s able to learn quickly. I also found out a few weeks ago that we will be getting health insurance which the company will be paying almost all of. So I’m super excited!!

Of course my love life is still not great, it’s getting better but it’s not what it used to be and that makes me sad because I really wish it would hurry up and get great again so I can be happy on all angles..

I <3 you...

I Quit

That’s it, I quit. As of today, I am off women for good.. I have resigned myself to the singles life, empty of any love or romance. It’s all over because I have been played for the last time..

Fuck you all and burn in hell.

Love,
Jay

Time To Push For Tougher Laws

Jay Cote - WX4WTF — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 02:40:38 +0000

Here’s a thought, make dishonesty a crime. They already have the lying under oath thing, time to make it apply to everyday people and situations.

A wife lies to her husband? Guilty!
A girlfriend lies to her boyfriend? Guilty!

Of course I obviously think this should be both ways, that’s fair, but I think that we’re focusing on all these little things that don’t really hurt anybody. Gay marriage? LEAVE THESE PEOPLE ALONE!! GAYS AND LESBIANS ARE PEOPLE TOO! We’re sitting here busting these people’s chops when we could be curing cancer or helping the poor, or making our schools less military/prison style. Fight the real problems in America. Dishonesty.

Penalty for being convicted of lying? Death by hanging. Please?

Now I know what you’re gonna say, “But Jay, everyone lies in time!”.

Yes that’s true, which means after were done hanging all of them, there’ll be a lot less spending, less need for all this welfare and social security, and less assholes driving north on 295 every afternoon!

Your thoughts?

I Want To Go Back

Jay Cote - WX4WTF — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 08:15:05 +0000

I miss Florida so much. Words can’t describe the importance of having good friends, and those friends are the ones who made me a ham radio operator. It wouldn’t be so bad if I could contact them via radio, but I can’t. Of course returning to Florida brings back terrible memories of Tori and Ellen… I don’t know that I could ever overcome those..

I miss you..

A Good Series

Jay Cote - WX4WTF — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 08:18:32 +0000

So Nick introduced me to the BBC series Robin Hood today. I’m a big fan of anything Robin Hood and frankly would just die to be him, of course I think by today’s standards I’d probably end up jailed. Anyway, the series is well done with the typical storyline and villains. Of course Marian is gorgeous as well. Played by Lucy Griffiths, she brings a bad girl image to the role. Very sexy I might add.

Check it out on Netflix Instant Queue.

It Doesn’t Pay To Be Nice…

Jay Cote - WX4WTF — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 02:35:24 +0000

So an ex and I were talking today about things in our past life that hurt us and this and that, having what I thought was a completely plain conversation when all of a sudden she stopped replying. So I casually write “you must have gotten busy or fallen asleep, sweet dreams” and she replies back, “I have a life, sorry”.

Wow, I mean really, is that necessary? Here I am being completely civil and she just about tears my throat out.

What is it with women these days? I mean holy shit. Do they think rudeness is sexy now? I mean shit, why don’t you just step on my balls?

Fuck you…
