Carl Jung was the first person that sparked my interest in psychology. As that's my profession now, I thought it would be prudent to give credence to that fact, even though I now realize that he was a neoplatonic freak who gave no beneficial material to my area of specialization now.

Jules was a badass in 'Pulp Fiction' (one of my favorite movies) and then there's Maximus from 'Gladiator' who was an even bigger badass. Thus, JulesMaximus. :p

Actually, I own a Nissan Maxima and began posting under that name on Maxima.org shortly before joining here so I kept the same username. Jules is a nickname my younger sister calls me, we're pretty close and she's the only one who really calls me that but I kind of like the nickname so I decided to incorporate it into my usernames online.

I changed it once about a year or so ago to just Jules but got a bunch of PM's from people here asking why I changed it and saying they preferred the old name so I changed it back.

I live on the east coast close to the beach, so it's a derivative of what I enjoy the most ...."sunny days". :sun:

The last 3 of mine are an abbreviation of a website I use to do PC hardware reviews for 6 years ago when all of you were still teething on Pentium Pro chips. Now I wish it wasn't on my username. You hear me mods?!?!?!

WhenI registered I had never built a computer before so it was my firsttime. And of course my first post was one of the ones in general hardware asking "I have x amount of $$ what should I buy?" :D

Jules is my nickname. I was born in England, where are these things called the Crown Jewels. Some might think there's a perverted nature to the name, as well.

My username does not indicate that I'm a smarta$$, in fact I don't like smarta$$s. My original idea for a username was lazyazz, but that was taken, so I thought of some name really quickly.
