So, everything still sucks

Here I am, it's after midnight, pissing down rain outside, and "the Chris Rock" HBO special is paused on the DVD player. It's halarious. Rent it, buy it, borrow it, what ever you have to do, if you don't mind lots of "F" words and even more "N" words it's well worth the hour and a half you'll spend in front of the T.V that night. Just put the kids to bed first!

Gonna get $400 to create, build and implement a web site for the mother in laws travel agency and I can't seem to get my ass in gear to finish the friggen thing! I need the cash like yesterday, bills are just-a-piling up now, but I have no direction to go with it. Got the obligatory cool flash intro built and hosted all ready at a free hosting site though - click here if your curious to see it

But that's about all I've really got. Trying to get some cool CSS effects down before I launch into something for the world to see and hopefully open up some more bussiness for the agency.
I have free reign on this project and I'm starting to think I may work better when there's a specific agenda to follow, something that I need to produce to / for someone's exacting standards. I wrote 2200 words the last two days for part 1 of a short story (which isn't looking too short right now, by the way), which has as much likelyhood of getting published or even placing in a literary contest as I do winning the lottery, but can't get a simple web design project up and running for cold hard cash. I looked at templates on the web and the free ones for the most part suck, but I wasn't enamored with the ones that cost money either. They looked atrocious and I couldn't see myself nabbing one (or paying for it) and passing it off as my own, even after I changed everything around and put my own pictures and modified the layout, it would still suck.
So I need a kick in the ass to get my creative juices (a little html and css juices wouldn't hurt either) flowing and soon. Anybody got any ideas on how to get this kinda project up and running, dropping a line or a reply would be great.
Till next time -
