Ever since I resigned from my job with Aurora Fire Rescue, I’ve been trying to get back on to a fire department. My latest endeavor is West Metro Fire Rescue. Starting earlier this year they opened up their applications for entry level firefighter. I tried to get on with this department when I first moved …

Interesting calls
Well the week started out kind of different. Its nice to get some variety as my job is boring me to death. My regular partner wasn’t able to get into work for the first day of the week as he was stuck at an airport from bad weather. So that left me without a partner …
Google Chrome
Today, Google announced that they have taken their web browser, Chrome, out of Beta. I know there are concerns about privacy and whatnot, but I still really like Chrome. It has been my default browser for a while now. Its much faster to load the program and then to load pages than the other browsers …
Baseball Hall of Fame
Once again, Ron Santo was denied entry into the Hall of Fame. I’m not quite the die hard fan of Santo, but as a Cubs fan, I still think he was a great player and would be deserving of a spot in the Hall of Fame. There certainly is a following of people who are …
Calvin and Hobbes Make Snow People
Calvin and Hobbes has always been one of my favorite cartoon strips of all times. Its a shame Bill Watterson only did it for 10 years. The official site is now at gocomics.com. I use Google Reader so I can see a new strip every day. My mom has always said that she thinks the …

Post Thanksgiving Celebration
Yesterday I flew to Salt Lake City, UT to visit with my girlfriend who lives there. Neither of us had a proper Thanksgiving celebration on Thanksgiving Day. Thankfully, we were able to prepare a feast for ourselves here. Unfortunately, we didn’t start cooking until late in the afternoon. We both worked on cooking the meal …
The Airport
When I began planning my visit to Salt Lake City to see my girlfriend, the only time she and I had time off was the weekend following Thanksgiving. As I began looking for flights, I found that the prices were unreasonably high because of how many people are returning from Thanksgiving that weekend. There was …
MSU Head Football Coach
My Alma Mater, Mississippi State University, has had a pathetic excuse for a football team since the turn of this century. The loss in the egg bowl, against our biggest rivals, the Ole Miss Rebels, had to be the straw that broke the camel’s back. Losing 45-0 is an embarrassment that can’t go unnoticed. Today, …
I Piss Excellence
Saw this and thought it was funny. It’s Will Ferrell’s character Ricky Bobby from the movie Talladega Nights – The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (Unrated Widescreen Edition). Here’s the deal I’m the best there is. Plain and simple. I wake up in the morning and I piss excellence.
