- So Much has Changed and so much will still be changing.
nothing ever really stays the same, but i stick to who i am and what i stand for.

- At this point, i hope you like me for who i am, if not, I REALLY DON'T GIVE A FUCK.

-People come and go in my life, but i got my few who will stick by me, and i stick by them

- My Trust is hard to earn,i only trust a few and who ever i have to to get what it is at hand done whether it be a job, education,or friendship. so if you gain it, don't lose it. Although i say this, i still am too much of a nice guy and will save your ass or be there at your lowest.though that doesn't mean i forget what lead to me not trusting you. My heart and Trust is always in the right place, my intentions are always good its just a matter of is yours?

I am one of the good guys, and good guys always come out 1 of 2 ways
On top or with their hearts broken
But the only way we come out on top is by learning from having our hearts broken...SO WE ALWAYS COME OUT ON TOP!!!!!

-Now with that said

though i have my share of other teams i really like.

- i am very chill, but i am crazy too!!!!

- i like a little competition, its healthy!!!
i am not afraid of losing
because i always find a way or another to make up for it, and most of the time its twice if not more, bigger and better than before.
i like to push my luck, that's what its there for

Hey Jay Jay. You know what, it's great you have a plan about your career and what you want to do at such an early age. I knew what I was going to do when I was 16 and it makes it a hell of a lot easier as far as education and training goes. We're lucky to have chosen such a great career at such a young age. So many people dont know what they want to do with their lives even when they finish college! That would suck! But as far as CFD goes, dont count on them testing anytime soon. As you know the last test was the first one given in a 10 year span. It's only been 3 years since the last one! Unfortunately, with all the time I've spent with chicago, you can never count on them for anything. So much for their saying, "We're There When You Need Us." Haha.

Engine 32, Truck 60. Very nice. I'm sure you'll have a hell of a time out there. Do you live by there or what? How did you get that house?

And no im not studying fire science. I wish. But DePaul sucks ass cause it doesnt have anything fire science or EMS related. I came here because Im on a softball scholarship. Besides, the one piece of advice that i got from all firemen, was to get a degree in something OTHER than fire science.

Yeah I've heard of the CPFTA. I was at the firehouse the other day and a a guy I haven't met before came up to me and introduced himself. He asked if I was a student. I said yes, cause I'm a student at DePaul, which is only a couple blocks from the firehouse. He thought I was a high schooler. Haha. I'm like, "Umm, I'm 23 years old."

How'd you score that? You say it's an internship, so is it through a school class?
At 9:26pm on April 27, 2008, Jess said…
You're very welcome for the add. I see you are a member of the CPFTA, but do you "fan" with any chicago companies?
At 5:01pm on March 19, 2008, Paul said…
Hey Jay, Thanks for getting back to me. My captain and myself are considering a trip to Chicago to present this opportunity to Chicago firefighters. If you would like more information on this opportunity I can send you the link to my web page. Thanks again and good luck in the academy
