About Me:

Well i led a boring life all through my middle school and high school years. I did play football but only to make my grandfather happy, until i had a serious knee injury at work one night and that ended my hall of fame career. After high school i kept working some different jobs, and got a motivational thrust to join the fire company... and so i did. 3 years later (today) i currently have a completely different job that i never thought i would have, which is an EMT in the city of buffalo, still belong to the fire company and also an ambulance company in boston, and every day am learning new things about people and places. I have alot of friends and very few good friends.
I have one person who i look up to, and one day hope to become exactly like him, but know it can never be done and that is my grandfather. i have spent more time with him in my life than any other person and he is the reason for who i am, and what i know.
No i never went to college, and dont plan on going. I know what i want to do with the rest of my life and how to do it, but i just have to find that right path to get there. Someone who i look up to once said "dont let school get in the way of education."
Im a quiet person, shy if you will, but am told that i do come out of my shell every now and then haha. I dont have a girlfriend but i hope to find that special someone some day. Im a very to the point person. i dont like long explanations, or stupid questions. But do enjoy having conversations. I dont go out much, only because i like what i do in my every day lifestyle of emergency services, and i want to be ready for that moment when someone calls 911. But i do like sitting at my coffee shop, or a tim hortons and drinking coffee and talking with friends and aquaintances.
My days are somewhat similar and a little mondaine, but im looking for something to change that... a new hobby if you will.
........ and thats me i guess!
