The OLD FiReCrAcKeR
Tuesday, March 08, 2005
Title-less.
I was the first person to buy Ladder 49 from the Burgess Rd. Walmart. Go me? (or does that make me a loser?)
Anways... nothing much to update. Went driving around today... spent time thinking in the woods. Got my oil changed. Spent some time with Tasha and Mike. Went to dinner and hung out with Chris... talked about good 'ol times at HPD and SWAT stories, and heard about how Iraq was. Fun times. Then I went to walmart and had them dig out Ladder 49 for me...
Cardinal rule of firefighting: Two in, Two out.
This principle needs to be applied to life in general. We're a team. If I came in with you.... I'm going to see you out... regardless of all the smoke, hazards, and obstacles that can be encountered. I'd hope the same would be done for me.
Like I said before, I did spend a lot of time thinking today...
Not going to elaborate on that anymore. Every time I do people give me advice... occasionally it's worthwhile, but most of the time... it's not. I don't mean to hurt anyone... but it's best to go with your heart in certain situations. I know that now. I'm just tired of people trying to tell me what I should do... and being angry at me when I don't do that. I may ask for opinions from time to time. But... I need to find myself, and be myself... and just when I think I may know that... I don't. So... it's time I walk the pothole filled road alone to figure that out...
And it's time that people stop talking about it and treating people differently... because it is wrong, and if you are not in the situation, you may not know the whole story. Hell, even those in the situation don't know the whole story. It's wrong, and people need to stop doing it... and that's all I'm going to say about that. Not giving anyone else anything to talk about.
"We deal with this by sticking togther. We take it. We learn from it. And we get back on the god damn truck and that's how we honor Dennis!"-Ladder 49
To Leigh... my "big brother"... I miss you so much. You always had the perfect words to say at the right times. You are my inspiration to carry on.... Shine your light, down on me... Give me the strength to carry on...
