Long Day...
Ok. There is a LOT I could write about in rants and what not but i will restrain... at least until I discuss it with the proper authorities first. Shit doesn't need to be spread around more than it gets spread around.
For starters... I can't take it anymore. I am stressed, and incredibly burnt out. Out of 30 days in September, I have worked about 25.... Yeah... >: 0
***No, I'm not being sarcastic, not at all... NOT at all***
I need to go fire some rampage up somewhere. Just finding the right place (and time off...) will be key.
::Sigh::
I cannot take it anymore!
Anyways, today i had about 2 hours of sleep, after which i went to yet another day of work. Well, today actually turned out to be fun because I got to play Robbery. I love when shit goes down. Anyways, to make a long story short, that made my day better.... at least it was the brighter part.
And Mark Monger rocks for buying me lunch. :-) That was also a highlight.
Then comes the ECC Mixer. It was cool to see the bldg, esp since i hadn't seen it since last year around this time- and it has come so far! I seriously cannot wait to have the opportunity to dispatch for fire and rescue.... because the same thing day in and day out with the PD is getting a little old. (its not always the same thing, but most the time it is)
Around 5 I left with Amanda to get tickets to Ladder 49.... WOW. Thats all i can say. It's a lot different than backdraft... but it encompasses loyalty, brotherhood, and passion all together in one movie. I think it jerks your every emotion the way that it is written.
So.. go see it.

"Shine Your Light" by Robbie Robertson
(From Ladder 49)
The cry of the city like a siren's song
Wailing over the rooftops the whole night long
Saw a shooting star like a diamond in the sky
Must be someone's soul passing by
These are the streets
Where we used to run where your Papa's from
These are the days
Where you become what you become
These are the streets
Where the story's told
The truth unfolds
Darkness settles in
Shine your light down on me
Lift me up so i can see
Shine your light when you're gone
Give me the strength
To carry on, carry on
Don't wanna be a hero
Just an everyday man
Trying to do the job the very best he can
But now it's like living on borrowed time
Out on the rim, over the line
Always tempting fate like a game of chance
Never wanna stick around to the very last dance
Sometimes i stumble and take a hard fall
Loose hold your grip off the wall
Shine your light down on me
Lift me up so i can see
Shine your light when you're gone
Give me the strength to carry on
Carry on
I thought i saw him walking by the side of the road
Maybe trying to find his way home
He's here but not here
He's gone but not gone
Just hope he knows if I get lost
Shine your light down on me
Lift me up so i can see
Shine your light when you're gone
Give me the strength to carry on
To carry on
