Here it is Valentine's Day.. What are the odds I'll get hit by a bus? Unfortunately, not too good. Even if I were a betting man. I'll be on the second floor, in class, most of the day. So unless buses learn to fly I'm screwed.

I don't even want to look at facebook today.. I Hate Valentine's Day.

Sitting here, at school, killing time before I leave for the Physical Agility Test. On another day I probably would have just headed for home, however, a distinct lack of sleep last night, an available couch and the total length of travel had I accepted that route (an easy 2.5 hours, combined, one way) convinced me otherwise. iPhone Maps puts this ( Read more... )

Medic School and most of the city has closed for the day due to the weather we're having.. So today is relegated to all myriad and sundry tasks: Cleaning, Gym (of course), grocery shopping and... locating copies of my certs & working on stuff for school!

It feels damned good to finally be weight training like I used to again. One of the other trainers in the gym is looking to put on size and approached me recently about me showing him a few things, he can't pay for training so I offered to workout with him. (This also has potential benefits for me down the road, networking and all that.) The guys ( Read more... )

I'm on a bus out in Brooklyn today, just got on.. Bus was late coming back, one Medic is reading the funnies. The other is reading the paper. We're parked near a cemetery, it's snowing and I'm playing Q-bert. Any questions ( Read more... )

Describe me in four (4) terms (or less). Comments screened so feel free to speak your mind.

Appear to have some type of Upper Respiratory Infection thing (per the light-green sputum) and difficulty breathing which would appear to make weekend plans, unwise. Oh well, They'll still be fun ( Read more... )
