Update from NY

So about every 16 weeks i get a little tired of school and travel home or to some other random part of the country. Every time I am reminded of why I am going to school, so i don't end up like the people I used to hang out with. Despite what their rap sheets might say about them they're really not bad guys, just made some bad life decisions, and now they live in their parents basements.

Other than that Christmas went well, im just chilling out until new years and then enjoying a few more days of sweet nothingness before headed back to stillwater.

a sad day

so throughout my experience in the fire service there has been one guy that was always willing to take the new guys under his wing. he knew that even if we weren't supposed to be doing something because we were too young that we could get away with it because we were under his supervision. at the age of 14 that puts you in hero status.

there are some guys that always saw the younger firefighters as a pain in the ass but this guy always saw us as an opportunity to teach the next generation and always brought a smile to everyones face while doing it.

this fall he was diagnosed with cancer. everyone was saying that he would like to hear from me while i was out at school. between finals and all the other stuff i got caught up in i never got a chance to call. next thing i know i am flying home for break. i survive my first day home, monday rolls around and all i had to do was stop by his house and do some christmas shopping. after shopping all day i just go home to catch dinner.

Ray Shultes Died This Morning. i never got to say Good By to one of the reasons i'm in the field i am today.

Internet at the speed of SMELL

Its rather nostalgic coming home for vacation, all of the places and things that bring up such fond memories of my youth. Makes me realize how blessed I really am... that every where else I have high speed internet. This is internet is just obnoxious, I mean is so slow i can actually feel the world revolving as i wait for my homepage to open.




Other than that its good to be home, i am going to go play in the snow and maybe by time i get done my email will have finished loading

'cause Im Comming Home Again

I survived my 7th Semester in college and all the finals that came along with it. Stillwater has been slowly dieing all week and tomorrow I am going to contribute to the exodus by flying home from Tulsa.

The best thing about Tulsa, everyone knows what it spells backwards.

F.I.N.A.L.S

Fuck I Never Actual Learned Shit!


I am down to one last final Friday, one last night of drinking with the guys and then its back to the great 518. I don't know what happened to this semester but it flew by. It seems like yesterday I was in DC enjoying the summer. I am ready to see the family and some old friends. We're all finally 21 so this is going to be an interesting break, real beer! no more 3.2!


Anyway, i'll be in the great Empire State from the 15th until January 6th, if you want to hang out shoot me a email/txt/facebook/call.

New Toy

There are a few perks about living in Oklahoma, one of which is the lack of legislation pertaining to firearms. I bought a new toy over the weekend, a gun that is considered an Assault Rifle in NY but took me 15 minutes to purchase on a Saturday afternoon here.

I may not be able to pass the exam but atleast i can have fun doing it

3. Coal is carried from a mine in West Virgina to a power plant in New York in hopper cars on a long train. The Automatic loader is set to dump 36 tons of coal in each car. The actual weights of coal loaded into each car are normally distributed with a mean of 36 and a standard deviation of 0.8 tons

(a) what is the probability that one randomly selected car will have a weight of less than 35.5 tons (include a sketch as part of your answer)?



apparently that wasn't the sketch she was looking for, who knew?

Finally Getting a Diploma

After 3 1/2 years I am finally getting the application for graduation from Corning, It turns out that I have had my classes completed since the summer of 2006 but if you don't pry it out of them they don't hand out diplomas.

It really wont mean anything once I get out of OSU but still at least that year at CCC will not have been a complete waste.
