It's About Time!

Okay, those of you who know me know that for the last 6+ years I've been trying to become a career firefighter. I've been to Indy, Evansville, Bloomington, and Columbus. Even threatened to go to Boston and New York a time or two. So far, I've experienced nothing but heartbreak and disappointment. Flunking interviews and bombing tests.

Yup, I didnt make the cut again. I was really hoping that I would improve over last time where I placed 81st. Oh well though, I still got Indy.


Hey, look, Boston is hiring spring of '08......

First Blog

Okay, so this may not be my very first blog...just my first one on here. Those that have been to my MySpace site know that I do blog on occasion. Just not too often.


Right now, I'm a volunteer here in southern Indiana. I've been in 7 years and I'm currently trying to go career but as some of you already know, its pretty well easier said than done. All the testing and yadda yadda yadda. Anyway, regardless of where I end up, I'd like to get in on a Truck Company (Open'er Up Truck!!!).
