I'm Back...(with a quiet vengeance)

Greetings all. I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I merely have 2 things to say and they shall be brief.

1) There is nothing wrong with burying people in mass graves after a Tsunami (I don't care what religion you are). How about helping the people that are actually living instead of worrying about what spot you're going to dig a hole in the ground for your loved one. There are 58,000+ bodies to be buried as of this point!!!!! You're quite lucky there is any ground to stand on after the disaster, let alone bury the dead with.

2) My favorite comedian, George Carlin... Good luck, buddy. Hope to hear you or see you on stage real soon. Nothing in this world is worth a wine and Vicodin binge!!!!!!! Well, unless you work with a geriatric, Yeti Paramedic... With that, I quietly leave until next time.

Grrrrr.....

So I come home from another "slow" day of lugging the sick around and quickly glanced at the news. We apparently lost 15 soldiers and 5 civilians in a rocket attack. They say that the rocket attack occurred during the lunch time hour where most of the soldiers and civilians were congregated. I'm not going to go into detail on this because it really pi**es me off to no end. CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHEN WE'RE JUST TURN THIS PLACE INTO A PARKING LOT OR IRRADIATE IT TO THE POINT WHERE IT WILL BE QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE NEXT 10, 000 YEARS?!?!?!?

I'm sorry, I feel this war was just a completion (or continuation) by Jr. of what Bush Sr. was trying to do. But, you know what, it needed to be done. We don't need rat bastards like Hussein running any countries. He deserves to be put away forever or be killed for what he's done. I feel better with him not having his finger on his version of "The Big Red Button." However, I feel like that this is another Vietnam and we're being crapped on every time a chance arises. Oh, what to do? Stay Tuned, more "fun" to come.

On a more lighter note, a mother in Dallas is suing Wal-Mart for approximately 25,000,000 dollars because they sold her "sick" daughter a shotgun. Well, the girl promptly blew her head off in 2003 (for the politically correct, committed suicide). Sick from what, you ask? The girl was a manic depressive and schizophrenic. She was supposedly on anti-psychotic medication, and also attacked a fellow customer at the store where her prescriptions were filled. The mother claims that Wal-Mart should have known this or checked her prescription records before selling the gun. AH, Hello?!?!? HIPPA!!!! HIPPA!!!! HIPPA!!!!

Wal-Mart did their job (ran a background check) and found nothing to support not selling her the gun. Is it me or does it seems to me that mommy dearest wasn't doing her paternal duties as a mother? Granted the girl was 24, but she obviously had some issues. You know what... you can lead a horse to water, but you can't force it to drink. I don't see anywhere in the news that mommy was shoving pills down her daughter's throat to keep her "sane." One can only assume that she wasn't taking her medications or the medications she was taking were incorrect/or dosed wrong. Either way, mommy or daughter did nothing to correct and we know the end result. Don't blame Wal-Mart, it's not their fault!!!!! They didn't pull the trigger.

My, Oh, my...

Well, today was certainly one for the record books as far as the weather was concerned. My partner, the YETI, and I braved the elements (21 degree weather with -1 degree wind chill) to complete our good deeds for the day (AKA A.L.S. Transports. Now, let the record state that the A.L.S., in this case, doesn't stand for Advanced Life Support... hehehehe). It made me wonder how long it would take me to get enough money up to say take another cruise on the Caribbean with my beautiful fiancee. Then I thought, better yet, get the money to move to a very warm state. Say FLORIDA, yeah, Florida.

I'd move to Florida and live in small town. OOOHHHHHH, Ocean Breeze Park.... sounds real good, real quiet. But, there are a two things that go along with this town that strike me as odd and as totally off the wall. The average age of the people that live in this quaint little town is 55 years old and the F***ing mayor is 96!!!!!!!!!!! WTF??? She'll be 98 when her term is completed, and she uses a walker to get around.... Wow, whodathunkit.... Only in Florida. Two thumbs up, grandma. Make sure no leaves with their mobile homes before they pay taxes. I have nothing further to add and, thus, will bow out gracefully.

Short, but Sweet...

It was a win... an ugly win, but nonetheless, it was a win. Our boys are 13-1 and now have the luxury of meeting, greeting and stomping the fecal matter out of any team that get in our way at DA LINC. Go Birds!!!!! E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES!!!!!

With that being said, and it being Sunday (the day of rest)... I leave you with one question to ponder. WHERE THE HELL IS THE SNOW?!?!?!? Me want, me want.

Sick People In the World Today (plus an unusual picture)...

Let me see. A 30+ year old female goes to Skidmore, MO to buy a RAT Terrier (like there's any other kind). She meets up with the supplier and then promptly kills her. She then cuts open the woman and retrieves a baby (8 months gestation). Throwing salt into the wound, she now prances around showing off this baby (namely to customers at a local cafe and her PASTOR, for heaven's sake: Pardon the reference). DING!! DING!! DING!! Anything seems funny to you here? Especially after the new "mom" says that the child is only 1 day old. Well, she was busted (wow, this story is fresh out of a B-movie and Soap Opera combined). The oblivious husband had no idea. Apparently, this female was pregnant and they don't know what happened to her baby.

SOLUTION: I'll kill some one and steal their kid. Good one, honey. I guess she forgot about the changes the body goes through before, during and after the birthing process. Last time I checked the body doesn't return to its statuesque state after a 21 inch, 15 Lb. kid tears you from the inside out. You know what the people of MO should do to this "woman," the same thing that she did to that girl (except... put in on cable- PPV, perhaps). Sick F***ing rednecks!!!!!! Like I said the last blog, the fiery abyss awaits me. I'm just waiting for the door to open wide enough so that I may pass through.

Next quirk in my shorts (take it as you will). I received a picture from my partner, the self proclaimed GOD, today. I contained an ambulance that was painted in a checkered pattern. The colors were purple and yellow. Now, I'm not sure if this is an actual ambulance or some dumb goof that has too much free time on his/ her hands and decided to play with his/ her paintbrush program. Either way, whoever you are, you should be hung outside by your toenails.... or just plain shoot with bullets of multiple caliber(s). But, the question that plagues me is... why would anyone take a piece of EMS apparatus and paint it like the water tower you would find in your local, hicktown, BFE airport? SOMEBODY PLEASE ANSWER THAT ONE FOR ME!!!!! I will exclude and disregard any answers with oranges, ice cream, bones and/ or telephone poles in them. I've spoken my peace this evening, Good Night.

Hello and WTF is going on with SEPTA (With a Twist of Mayor Street)?

For all you EMS personnel out there, my Blog name speaks of pain... I'm the evil counterpart of the Veteran Blogger TrekMedic251, with a few exceptions. He's a Paramedic for the state of PA, I'm just the lowly Paramedic Student which, according to him, must bow to him (apparently he believes he is GOD, HA!!!!). He's a man who is 13 years older than me, and has less hair than me. What hair he has left... is mostly grey (I hear a door to the fiery abyss beginning to open about now). AND, he EXPECTS me to bow to HIM?!?!?!? Not bloody likely. Anyway, enough about demonic partner and myself. Sit back and, hopefully, enjoy my debut blog.

SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority or... Southeastern Pennsylvania Transient A-HOLES?). WTF???? Are these people kidding me? This $62,ooo,ooo debt did not grow overnight, people. Now they expect the "fine" people of Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs to suffer by raising rates, cutting jobs and service. Now with that being said, I have, for a second year, picked up Season Tickets for the Philadelphia W-I-N-G-S and used SEPTA throughout the first year. Now, SEPTA wants to cut weekend service (Sunday schedule for Saturday and reduction in Sunday service... whatever the hell that means). Well, this thoroughly pi***s me off. I now have to wait for the REVISED schedule to come out and hope to GOD that I don't have to drive truck car into the Sports Complex... and fight for parking, wait in traffic to enter/ leave, breath CO and listen to people curse everybody and their paramedic partner out. Besides, if you look at the bigger picture, what will this do for and to the E-A-G-L-E-S, Sixers, KIXX, Soul and Flyers (YES, I said Flyers. KEEP THE HOPE ALIVE, damn it!)? I'm fairly confident that I speak for many people who share the same view. To everybody who deals with SEPTA, I know this is going to hurt... bend over, smile and take it like a champ (for now)!!!

Hey, Board of Diaperwipes (or "Directors," whatever you prefer), I got a solution for you. You've known that you would have this debt for many, many years and now it needs to get taken care. SOLUTION: Why don't you go out on the street corner with the rest of vagrants, hold up a cup and ask for people's spare change?!?!?!? It has a tendancy to work!!!!!

Next, the infamous Mayor John Street (your turn to burn). You preached that you would go to court to stop this insanity. FINE. Let me ask you this... how far was your head up your ass when you tried to shut down 8 Engine and Ladder Companies. Hey, here's an idea. You go ahead, go to court and get SEPTA to run at 100%. Go ahead and close down those companies. You don't need them. The next fire you get, just bring in SEPTA with a bunch of geriatrics on board. They can throw their catheter bags full of urine on the fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MORON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
