Well I guess the biggest news right now is the FD crap. I know EVERYONE is sick of hearing about it. But lets face it, its news. The results of the election were: Chief- Kevin Radtke, and Me as VP. I want to say I sat with the election committe and tallyed votes as they counted them, and I can only remember a few times in my life when I was that nervous. But I guess everything will work out. Now since we have had a board meeting some things have changed. Mainly I am now President of the organization, plus a lot of other shit. It is amazing how well things work when people WORK TOGETHER.
After Mike lost, he said somethings to me that were out of hand, and I will not speak to the man until he appoalgizes. He made a threat and he does not think I can be the same way, he has underestimated my ASSHOLENESS.
Anyways back to other things. School is going good. Expect I missed a class last week when I had to turn something in. I set my damn alarm clock wrong. I had the project done 2 weeks ago, so it kinda sucks. Then the next day, I leave it at home, have to come back, just to turn it into the office. Well my luck, as I pull into the building parking lot, the office manager is pulling out, waving to me. I walk into the building Firday afternoon at 3:40 and it looks like a ghost town. I was like fuck. So needless to say I am lossing points on this project as I type this. Its 5 points or percent, and its the same since the project is worth 100 points. Good thing about it, most people get a+'s and the entire project is only 5% of my global grade.
Alot of good news this week-end. Mainly the Cubs lost. I was so fucking sick of hearing that gay ass song. I was so sick of the cubs fans, Nikki included. :-) The other good thing is I went to the Hawks game last night. They won. I know, this may sound like a joke, but they really won. Tied it up in the 3rd, stuck 3-3 after overtime, then the shoot-out won it. Plus it was against Detroit. The only bad thing that happened in my sport world is Purdue losing to Ohio. Wtf is a buckeye anyways.
Can anyone believe this weather? I'd swear we are redefining seasons before our very eyes. Keep track this next year, the seasons are about a month and a half off. Meaning winter, starts latter, then lastes long. The overall temp. has also gone up since 5 years ago. So this is kinda a big deal.
Since the last time I typed Yardie got married. It was a fun filled few days for that. I am not even sure I spoke of the bachelor party. Just a quick recap. The bachleor party highlights- limo, slapping, drinking, espn zone. drinking, slaping, eating. heckeling sooner fans, drinking, slaping, walking arround downtown, ball shots, taxi's, drinking, drinking, slaping, dancing, drinking, limo, slaping, pranking, texting, slaping, drinking, driving arround LOFS, slaping. The wedding was a little different, but not much. We had the rehersal dinner at LOFS clubhous, and I was made a special dinner. :-) The next day (last Friday) was the wedding. I used Zupan's Hummer to cart the guys arround. It was a good time.
Okay time to get some real shit done.

Today is my grandmothers 80 B-day so I need to get cleaning the house, since everyone is comming here.

too long
Its obviously been too long since my last post, I am horrible at blogging. I cannot believe some people update their blogs daily. I mean who has the time, and who's life is that excting, or who really wants to share all their life on the net. Never the less I am posting and will try to bring everyone up to speed.
School is back in session and this is a do or die time for me, so I am focusing much of attention into school. I need to prove to myself that I can do this, and then keep that will and attidue until I am done. I cannot help to think what I will do if I do not do good. I will need to come up with some other plan and have to do it quick.
I really do not care to make many friends this year in class, I seem like I am 1000 years older than these kids. In reality I am just 4-5 years older, but the majority of my friends are in the other classes. I am really surprised that they all understood what is going on with my school shit, and still do their best to include me in what in shit.
The last post was about the FD. I guess this is the last month of the full bullshit. Radtke is running against Parks and I am running against GFed. Zupan is taking my spot as seceratary I am running for VP. I see this move as a good thing for me, since it will be less busy work (typing shit) and more meetings and such for me. Its a progession that I needed to make. Its funny, everyday I stop at the FD someone is looking at a roster saying your a Radtke or a Parks supporter. Its really gay, it is tearing things apart. But whatever happens things will have to change for the better. As for me and Graham, I have heard from a lot of people he doesn't have a chance, so I am not to concerned about not being elected.
Nikki and I are good. We will sign a contract for the hall this Friday. We plan to have the reception at the Opperating Engineers Hall on Taft in CP. JUNE 27, 2007 will come a lot quicker than I think. Nikki and I are also looking into housing, we hope to have a house next summer, but I cannot save much money, since I am paying for the ring still and just general bills. I am concerned that we will not have engough money to do this. I also want to buy a house that isn't a complete project house, I am going to want to relax and enjoy it before I am 30.
I am kinda upset we dropped the ball on fall softball. I want to blame Q. :-) But it really isn't his fault, someone else could have stepped up and organized things. So we are now trying to get a indoor soccer team going. I neeed to have some kind of sport in my life to break up all the crazy shit.
This is quickly becoming my favorite time of the year. Playoff Baseball (I hope the Cubs Choke) I am wearing my world's largest gay bar t-shirt while I type this. College football (GO PURDUE, AND VU) its funny that Michigan sucks! NFL football- go horse and go bears. Plus the weather is awesome, and my b-day is comming!!!
Okay long engough post, I will try to post again soon, but we all know how that goes. Time to check post secert, and my other guilty pleasures.

its gonna be bloody
So it has begun, no one is officially dead yet. A lot of hurt feelings, and yelling, and headaches, but I guess that is to be expected. It will only continue to get interesting. I am stuck in the middle, and I need to decide what I am officially going to do, as for running again or not. I am sure not running will save me mentally, emotionally, and $$$$$$$...(imtrex)...
Update in the AM. or afternoon.

stuck in the middle
This fire department shit is about to start. I am stuck in the middle and do not like any of it. I just cannot wait until something comes to a head and its all over with. No matter who comes out on top, there are already causalities and will be many more. I have a headache, maybe I just need to bow out when elections come.... I did not want that, but it looks better and better each day.
Today Nikki and I are looking for halls, and most likely finding the church... (vu).
Every one's gone at my house for a week, so I will be more than happy!
Update tomm.

almost august
Well its been a while again, like normal I have been really busy, seems to be the story of my life. For working as much as I do I feel I have little to nothing to show for it. These next few years Nikki and I got to save like mad men. The house will be the biggest thing, and I want a big down payment. I am sure we can afford everything, but money will be tight. Then the whole wedding, I think I have came to terms that we are not going to get much help with the wedding, but I think whatever money we spend we will make back plus some...
Anyways, the school thing is kinda settled, for now atleast. I am re-taking a class in the fall, I have to get an A-, but there are plenty opportuinies for points. The issue I have is, I will not be in class with all my friends in the fall. I will rejoin them in the spring, and have a different schedule my senior year. I will walk in the summer of 2009, then have summer classes.... The whole thing is I still need to get an A-, so I am only taking 3 classes. Intro to internet communications (lol), stats (again... I need a C), then this Nur 201 with Alverson..... Plan B will have more structure after Tuesday, I am taking a break from work and taking a TEASE tests http://www.atitesting.com/ for Ivy Tech. I need to pass everything, then they place people and call them. Trouble is this is only a associates degree, while VU is a bachleor's degree. It will take about 2 years to complete both. Unless I can talk to Ivy Tech, and speed mine up, since I do have alot of nursing classes. Plan C is paragod class. I still haven't turned in anything, and will not until I absolutely decide. Like Q stated in his blog, you cannot work while in the medic class, so it will cause major problems for the house, and wedding.
I love Russ St. Myers www.emisismusic.com/
Softball tournments start this week for both CP and LOFS.
The bullshit at the FD may start soon too, I am not looking forward to that crap.
Congrats Q, on the house. Since you didn't get pics, I took the liberty to do it for you... :-)

Been buys with alot of other crap, but who really cares. Anyways, hot box Kendra Wlkerson.

Long time no type
Well a lot has happened since my last post:
Most importantly I proposed to Nikki. It was on the 4th in the CP (big city) parade. I hopped of 3511 and just did it. Fuck, it may have been one of the times I have been really nervous. All I can say it went perfect, she had no idea, and I told the world it seems. One last thing on the whole proposal, I am glad I kept my sun-glasses on, cause I did tear up a little, she was soooo cute crying, and shaking, it was slighty romantic. Q has the picture in his blog, it was also in the NWI times, the and the STAR, you can get the links if you so wish off www.lofsfire.com
So we (Nikki and I) started looking at houses, we are not at the point of buying yet, but we both found a house we love in LOFS.... the trouble is I am still in school(more on school later), and she wants a new, better paying job. The we will have a wedding comming up sometime in 2 years. Its all so frusterating. We can get the house, but I do not want to be in debt for the rest of our lives, I want to start the marraige off in the green not the red. Playing catch up is never fun.
The wedding, well I already shot down next year. Its not too soon, but then again it is. We will not have the $$$$ to do it, or do it right. We have almost 200 people just family and close family friends, then we haven't even made a friends list, which will bring us close to 350 total, so you'd expect 300 people to show... So we are thinking summer of 2009. We will set a date sometime this week, hopefully. Then we need to look into everything else.... hall, church, cake, dress, tux, dj, limo, flowers, gifts, etc. I am ball parking this arround 20,000. Which sucks..... we will not get much help from the rents, not a big deal, but fuck.
Nikki and I need to work out the wedding party now too, its gonna be a big party, like 6 maybe 7 per side plus ushers, flower girls, marton(sp) of honor etc. So I am thinking two party buses, one for the penis's one for the vag's. :-)
Went to Indy for Nikki's sister's wedding, I lasted about 2.5478 hours, then had to be brought back to the hotel. It doesn't help when you pre-drink, then drink during pictures, then the cermony... I ate dinner then left... then puked the 10 maragrtias, 1 tequlia sunsrise, 2 miller lights, 1 higball of jager, then a jack and coke... Plus whatever I through in my mouth to float on top of all that shit...
Working this much sucks, I hate it. For what I do at the ICU I am extremely under-paid, but once again we need the money, so I am gonna stick with it...
School is still there. I am in a class now, I have to do well, or I am done with VU nursing... It's so difficult. I do great in the nursing classes, but fuck up the math classes, and chem I took so it lowered my "nursing gpa". What needs to happen is me get an A- atleast in this course to stay there. If I do not, then I will be fucked I guess. I need to do something... I am gonna check on transfering (even though I do not want to) but it will be much easier elsewhere, plus we (me) would save so much more $. But I really do like VU. I also thought about the paramedic class, but if I get anymore on my plate I may have a break down... I want paramedic to be a back up, plus a lot of friends are taking the class, I would love to show them up. ;-) I am also gonna look into Saint Anthony's nursing college thing, maybe I can get in there and speed things up, the sooner I graduate the more money Nikki and I will have, the sooner we can get a house and then have the party of the year.
Softball is comming to an end. Keep your fingers crossed, no injuries for me!!! The CP league is almost to tournment time, and I may miss it, but its okay. We have the most talented dysfunctional team of assholes ever put in one place. On the ego scale we get a Paris Hiltion + Fabio. I want to tell Q thanks for letting me play with the best bunch of assholes I know. We need to win, for our talent we look like the SCRUBS. The season's league is 4 weeks out to the end, but we also have a good team, we only show up in spurts, I can have a good week, or few innings while someone else strikes out 3 times...
So there, an update. I will be back to posting again

a drink or two
Tis late, just got home after a day @ the ICU then some drinks with amigo's.
Diet is going well, found a site that keeps a diet diary for you, so I do not need to bore anyone that reads this with that crap.
Anyways, just wanted to say we closed B & P today, and I am not tired.
I have plans to go to the lake tommorrow and jet ski, then softball, then drinking. If I do not jet ski for some reason I will be at the CLIT (VU'S old ancroymn for the library) it's now called the Christopher Center, but the CLIT has such a nice ring to it.
I was kinda forced into taking a summer class to get my gpa up, and it looks like I will have to take another summer class if I do not get my ass into gear. I think my problem is I am to cocky for classes, since I do have knowledge in most of the subjects, I get behind then play catch up. I really need to un-fuck myself and start really applying myself.
I also want to say I HATE bills.
Well this was short but rather sweet.

Good Start
Second day having this thing and I am posting again. Partly because I want to try to figure this site out. Q has already helped me with a few things. He is such a nice guy... lol. He is the only one reading this, for now. I haven't really told anyone else I am here. It is kinda nice having a little "place" to escape and write. Not that I am spilling my deepest thoughts, but its still nice.
I have started to work out again, and let me forewarn everyone, I am going to post what I have been doing on this blog, as part of an easy way of keeping records and such. Plus I can get info, or harassed when I do not do anything. I need the support until I really get into the swing of things. So I entered a contest at work "the biggest loser" It's a 10 week contest, and we just started week 8. We were randomly placed on teams, but it is also and individual contest. I just want to lose some weight. So its week 2 and I have lost 6lbs. But I haven't really done crap. So I will make this day one of my workout crap:
Day 1 weight 210
--Ran 1 mile--
--60 sit ups--
I will add the food later...
Anyways here are my links:
