… upcoming dates I’m excited about post, but I decided it would be appropriate considering that there is, for once, a lot of cool things going on such as:

4/12 - My damn birthday
4/14 - Nothing More @ Sidecar pub, anyone who reads this and lives in houston should come out, they put on an excellent show
4/19 - My last EMT class, I’m going to be a EMT, very exciting, or scarey depending on if you’re someone who lives in West Harris County EMS territory or not…
4/22 - First Hospital rotation, 7pm - 7am. night shift, I can’t wait…
4/27 - Second Hospital rotation… 7p - 7a again… can’t wait..
5/4 - Eisley concert at the meridian, VERY VERY EXCITED
5/13 - The Fray concert, never heard them before. I hope they’re good.
5/27 - Kyle and Jaimee’s wedding! very exciting! Also rookie fire burn this day, very cool but I’ll miss most if not all of the wedding.. eh well life sucks sometimes.
5/28 - Rookie grduation, I’m a REAL firefighter now. Also kyle is very pleased with himself by this point I’m certain

I hope I don’t see any of you guys in the hospital/on the ambulance.. that would suck. first you have to be in the hospital or are going there at least, then the first face you see is mine, which you are probably not happy with. I’m freaking out because I know you and you’re freaking out because you’re thinking “that bastard can’t even pick me up on time how’s he going to save my life. I’m pretty sure he can’t even read.” or whatever, but you’re saying “Frank! I’m SO GLAD YOU CAME HERE TO RESCUE ME.” because you know if you don’t watch your mouth I’ll kill your ass. I hope no one from HIPAA or the National Registry sees this.

I have a couple finallys I’d like to share:

FINALLY: I got accepted into the West Harris County Ems EMT Basic program. Now I’m doing Fire Class Tuesday and Thursday and EMT Class Monday and Wednesday. Sweet. The best part? Finally my parents (Father Asst. Fire Chief/In Nursing School, Mother EMT-Intermediate/Registered Nurse) can help me with my homework!

FINALLY: My Big Head Todd and the Monsters tickets came in. I’ve been waiting to see this band for SO LONG.

Day 3 of raking. Insane. This woman’s neighbor likes to pay more, which is good. Example 10am = 2pm today (4 hours, for all you math scholars) ended up paying out $50. Sweet.

Interview date is finalized: Tues, Jan 31, 3:30pm. Wish me luck.

Waking up at 8:30 blows.

Being able to buy you own gas for the first time in over a month is GREAT.

I owe anna a date, for real. I have been downright po.

So I poseted this ad on craigslist: http://houston.craigslist.org/lbs/127628172.html

I am a broke college student, inbetween jobs. I need to make some cash to pay for gas and books for this semester at Houston Community College. I’m a pretty big guy and a volunteer fire fighter, so I am pretty useful for ANY manual labor (lawn care, moving residence, boxes, etc) but I am also extremely well versed in computers.I have also, in my recent employment history, cleaned pools.

Summary:
I will do almost anything to make some ends meet right now

I also play guitar and sing, if you’re lonely/bored and want to hear a guy sing some prety songs for you, I can do that too.

I Actually got a RESPONSE. This woman, Katherine, called me back and had all this stuff for me to do including:
-Setting up computers at her office
-Cleaning the pool she has (in her front yard, haha)
-Random yardwork

She also asked if I had a cell phone and I said “well… yes but I’m not current on the bill right now…” to which she replied “Oh don’t worry I have this prepaid phone I’ll let you borrow so I can contact you.”

But then she calls me back.
“How much do you owe on your cell phone”
me: “like $80″
her: “who is your provider”
me:”Cingular”
her:”Well I have Cingular too so how about you bring your bill and I can help you get that paid tomorrow so we can be in contact”
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She’s also going to buy my lunch the days I work with her and comp some gas.

What a blessing.

For real, I just couldn’t do the xanga thing anymore. I just needed more from a blog.

In other news: May 28th I should graduate from rookie training at the Fire Dept and I should be able to start my EMT and hopefully get that done over the summer. Yay.
