Back to School
Well, it’s official. This August I’ll be returning to school (again.) As some of you know I’m a volunteer firefighter and EMT here in my hometown. I’m going to college to earn a degree in Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and more importantly, become a Paramedic.
For anyone not in the know, an EMT provides basic life […]
Election Pet Peeves
Election years always seem to bring out more pet peeves in me. Probably because the annoyances and reminders are everywhere.

My sincerest apologies for the lack of posts lately. I’ve been in bed, sick, and unable to muster the energy to even crawl to the keyboard much less write anything coherent.
