Was one of the weirdest moments I can ever recall. Its not often i wake before the alarm screams for an hour, hitting the snooze button a few times to get in just a few moments more of rest. But today was different, I had the visions of screaming and wild fire, then i woke up staring at my bedroom ceiling. I dont watch alot of television but my remote was the first thing i grabbed. i don't think i said a word i just sat there listening to what was going on. Then the second plane hit. They showed all the firemen scrambling to help who ever they could, it pulled my memories back to the 5 years i was in my local fire company back in N.C.. I've always been proud to have been one back home (Station 32), i had hoped to re-enter once i returned there. You would be surprised at the dedication it takes for a fireman, wether it be a volunteer, or paid. Once your a member you feel obligated to go no matter what the emergency. There are some fire companies that barely are able to buy new gear, they use what they have available even at there own risk. How many people do you know that would risk and/or give there life for another. Then theres the police officers they risk just as much, they just deal more with people than nature. Yeah, we all hate being pulled over for stupid shit like speeding (ive had my share, someone should smack the guy who thought of a speed limit). The fact is who do we call on when we need help? or when a house is on fire? To those who gave there lives today ...salute. Its been almost a month since my last entry mainly because of lack of personal time, the personal time i have had ive worked to improve the web site as much as i could and spent my time with my friends. Those who come to my site often most likely have noticed my intro. page change a few times. I have been learning more about flash lately and im working toward doing a longer animation soon. The intro's are just a spawn from its conception. In the last month ive had someone new in my life (and yes AGAIN) and things have gone well so far. Guess you could say my hope hasn't stopped.
