Day in the Firehouse

So, given the name of this blog I figured I would give you all what you wanted.  The daily happenings at #6.  As usual the day started off with a bang 4 runs before noon, ok ok so this isnt usual but still a pretty busy start to the day.  Afterwards lunch was served, hotdogs and skyline chili sauce….how great is that.  For those of you who don’t know, skyline is the best chili in “The NATI” and the fact that I can buy it in Lexington out of can is simply amazing.  After the feast we proceeded to do our monthly buisness inspections where we went and looked at these $180,000 minimum loft apartments.  You must know that this apartments are only like 600 square feet or so and I have to wonder why someone would pay that kind of money to live there.  Although I guess it would cool if I was 5 or something.  Anyways, finally I thought to myself, it is finally nap time, but I was wrong duty called and we had to go.  By the time we arrived back at the house dinner was to be served so no nap today.  Don’t feel bad for me I have the next two days off.  The rest of the day after dinner was spent cleaning and chatting with guys about stuff that ususally makes no sense and is not suitable for persons under the age of 40…haha….but seriously in the firehouse noone knows whats next on the agenda.  So, now this leads me up to now where I still have 7 and half hours til the end of my shift and I am thinking it is probably bed time.  So til next time, keep it real.

“The You in Me”

I have to tell you that I had one of the most miserable nights of my life this past weekend.  Was it something I could have controlled, as a matter of fact yes, but unfortunatley I did not.  You see I have a problem.  I tend to react to a situation before I rationalize the situation to myself and my reactions usual end up being the the opposite of what I should have done or said.  I have my issues as we all do, but luckily I have learned, the hard way I might add, how to deal with these situations.  I will not bore you with the details, I will just say that once you figure out that life isn’t always about you and the are other peoples feelings involved then you will be alot better off.  If the person who I am writing about ever reads this then they will know that I want this more than anything ever and can’t wait until this happens.  You have been a significant part of my life and I can not thank you enough for that and I hope one day you can say the same of me.

Who Knows….

So, given the name above you may think that this blog will be about firefighting and the many things associated with firefighting, well my friends you would also be sadly mistaken if that were the case.  My intentions are not to bore you with heroic stories of fighting fires and saving babies, but instead to talk about things that probably make no sense to anyone in the sane world.  Please indulge my efforts though as I try to make sense of it all.

 Since I am not drunk nor have I had any adult beverages for several days now I figured I would start by talking about recent events in my life.  Some have been good and some have bad.  Some of this comes from the Powers gang (check um out) and some of this comes from revelations of my own.  The last year or so has been one of the greatest on record.  My best friend moved back state side after a brief excursion to parts unknown by man, ok so it was Australia, maybe just unknnown by myself and a select few others.  Hangin out like we used to and pretty much becoming borderline alcoholics in the process has been one of the greatest times ever.  For those of you who know the story you are a step ahead of the rest.  The short version is we were friends then we were’nt and now we are again.  The truth of the matter is we have had our rough times in our friendship, but we always work through it (ggaaayyyy) anyways, having a true friend such as this has made such an impact on my life.  Like I said things were great I had my friend back, then I met a new friend.  This new friend of mine and myself started dating and I lost my best friend.  Why you ask, stupidity is the only word I can use to truly define what happened.  Life is good again, I can admit now that I have made mistakes in every relationship I have ever had, but it is the true friendships that will last.  How do you define a true a friendship you may ask yourself, I have no clue.  I have to be the worst friend ever.  I am not good at returning phone calls and I don’t spend as much time with my friends as I use too.  Does this make me a bad friend, doubtful, but I could do better and I think we all could at some point or another.  To my friends who I tend to ignore for one reason or another just know that it is not that I don’t enjoy your friendships I just suck at being a good friend.  I am lucky I suppose because alot of my faults are looked over and my friendships are as good as ever.
