i like music, hematomas and porter works naked

aaahhhh raleigh brain. it likes music. ok, so to tell you the truth im really enjoying litsening to music online. I dont really have anything to do online... just litsen to music. so here i am, litsening.

i saw a powerline blow up yesterday. it was cool. it was right next to our station. talk about fast response time! that was kinda fun... but then the electricity was cut for a couple of hours. it was ok because i was going to bed soon anyways.

I took a woman to the ER that had a massive Hematoma on her head. she was a nice lady, i felt bad for her. ouch.

Im currently convincing my roommate that he should get naked at work. why? because he can.

sooo, thats about all i've got going on in my brain right now.

obessions and cupcakes

Hello and welcome back to Raleigh's brain. I am flattered that you were sufficiently entertained by the previous insights into my thoughts that you would grace my gray matter with another visit. Thank you for swinging by.

Todays topic iiiisssss... obsession.

I like to be obsessed every once in a while. my current obsession is wiemaraners ( not a brand of hot dog but rather a real dog) and search and rescue operations. Before this i was rather obsessed with buying a truck. you can ask my room mates. I would literally spend all my spare time checking craigslist for trucks, and i would check every 15 min for new posts. I would like to note that my obsessions are limited to objects and activities, and there fore do not include people. at least not in a particular sense. there have been times when i was obsessed with girls in general. another time i was very intrigued by cowboys types and country music. but i can honestly say that i have never obsessed over just one person. that doesnt mean i dont have crushes or fall in love. what it means is i have a leash on my obsessive behaviors and indulge olny when it is harmless. which brings me to my next point.

Harmless indulgence of obsessive behavior. i like it. its kinda fun. it makes me feel all passionate about something, and i believe its healthy to feel passionate about something, even if it is a truck . An important part of keeping your obsessions in check is regulating how much money you invest. I have to remind myself often that i have other better things waiting for me to obsess about later, and therefore i should save my money. perhaps what i call obsessing is called by other people focusing. Porter (my room mate) stated that these days we tend to have conversations that are a mile wide and an inch deep. My 'obsessions' might not be obsessions at all, but rather a superior brain working on something that is a mile deep, and olny an inch or so wide. i guess that becomes a problem when you do it consistently.

In the end i dont give a shnoodles kaboodle. I enjoy getting all worked up about certain things and its much better then not getting worked up. So lets live our lifes today! Embrace your obsessions, and penetrate your philosophical world as to see it a mile deep.

on another note i'd like to share an experience i had today. i have a freind. we shall call her K. it was K's Bday today, so i took her to cupcake royale. after buying the cupcakes and hot chocolate i realized that this would be a perfect time for me to run up to bartells and buy some candles and sing her happy birthday... so i did. it was aaawesome! i even got a bum and some passerbys to join in. that was a good moment today. it was a hallmark moment, the 4 of us sitting outside cupcake royale, the wind is softly blowing cuasing the candle flames to dance as we sing a joyfull song of completion and hopes for tomorrow. K blushing and looking down, myself grinning like an idiot and singing as loud as possible, the passerbys being down right freindly while staying polite, and the bum, well he was almost as excited as i was.. he even added a sweet little (and may you have many more) at the end. Kodak moment. Oh man oh man did i enjoy those cupcakes or what!

Intro to my brain

Hello World, Welcome to my brain. you may be surprised to find yourself in here. you are not alone. i was equally surprised to find you lurking in my brain.... however since you are here i might as well tell you a little 'bout me. ahem: I am a boy. Or am I a man? I consider myself to be both. I can only hope that im a man in the best ways and a boy in the funnest. I am an EMT. I love to help people... its what makes me feel good. I also feel a need to be needed and important... and my work fulfills this for me. I guess that means I may have a bit of a superman complex (meaning i have to save the world {someones gotta do it} ). I dunno really, you judge for yourself. Being an EMT is important to me and I am proud of it. I plan on going to Paramedic school soon and becoming a Fire Fighter Paramedic. When i get hired as a Medic FF i'll make BANK! $$$ is helpful for reaching ones goals and dreams. until then i'll love life as it comes and take advantage of what i can get. Im also into SAR (thats Search And Rescue). I love dogs and dream of being involved in K9 unit of SAR. It would be awesome if i became an accomplished trainer and spent time professionally training search and police dogs. As a Fire Fighter i'll have time to do it... hmm thats not a bad idea... OH MY GOSH... you just witnessed the birth of a thought! Right here in my brain! Front row seats too! lucky you. Aaaaannny how, i like working in rescue ops. you know what else i like?

G I R L S

yep.. i like em. but they are scary at the same time. if you are a girl then you just dont understand what ya'll do to us dudes. or maybe you do. guess i'd have to be a girl to know wouldnt I............. chirp chirp says the cricket.......... sooooo, what i was saying is that i was always very shy growing up and i have to try really hard to be outgoing (in starting conversations). but once i trust you and get along with ya im really quite goofy and outgoing. Normally i would be modest but what the crap... its my brain right?! Did i mention that IM SINGLE... cause i am. ... chirp chirp.

For you non LDS people here in my brain: Im LDS. that means Latter Day Saints. which really means that i belong to the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. and i like it. I teach a class at church called Gospel Essentials. its the essentials. of the gospel. you know, like the basics. its kinda like "happiness for dumbies"

So there's a sneak peak at my brain. Thats all you get for now. Bon Voyage.
