Bio:I currently live among the crazy masses in New Jersey. I used to be an advertising office cubicle slave before having a change of heart and careers.

Right now I work primarily as an EMT-B both in 911/Emergency and in non-emergent transport. The 911 calls take place in a big nearby town where most of our calls are either at one of the numerous malls or one of the numerous senior citizen care centers. It's usually a decent mix of this and that. I just started working in another town as well, so essentially all I do nowadays is work. Oh well. Someday I'll be able to take a break. Like, maybe when I'm dead.

I currently go to school and am in the progress of earning my Associate's in Science. Afterwards, I am set to start nursing school in the spring. I'd like my ultimate specialty aimed at either ER, L&D, Surgery, or MICU. It's the toughest thing I've ever done in my life and yet somehow I keep going back for more. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment. I eagerly look forward to the day I get my license. I live, breath, sleep, and dream healthcare. It's sad, really.

I used to be married up until this May. Yes, we remain on friendly terms. I am slowly adjusting to the single life. I have two psychotic shelter cats named Sassy and Eric the Massive MooKitty who have decided that they're gonna live with me and that I have no choice in the matter. I just added a small stray calico to the mix after my sister brought her home. Insert litter of kittens here. I promise, I am not turning into crazy cat lady. lol

I tend to be pretty positive and love to laugh and have fun and make jokes and take care of my friends. I'm always up for something new, something adventurous. I make jokes alot on the job, but never with a patient or at a patient's expense. Sometimes people call me a whacker, but it's really not true. I don't have lights in my personal car, I don't have monster-sized jump bag fully stocked. I don't even have band-aids in my house half the time. Yes, I know, I'm a bad EMT. lol

If you don't mind any of that, then add me. I might just add you back.

Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel
My world goes black before I feel an angel lift me up
And I open bloodshot eyes into fluorescent white
They flip the siren, hit the lights, close the doors and I am gone

Now I lay here owing my life to a stranger
And I realize that empty words are not enough
I'm left here with the question of just
What have I to show except the promises I never kept?
I lie here shaking on this bed, under the weight of my regrets

[Chorus:]
I hope that I will never let you down
I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound

Look around and you'll see that at times it feels like no one really cares
It gets me down but I'm still gonna try to do what's right, I know that there's
A difference between sleight of hand, and giving everything you have
There's a line drawn in the sand, I'm working up the will to cross it and

[Chorus]

Rhetoric can't raise the dead
I'm sick of always talking when there's no change
Rhetoric can't raise the dead
I'm sick of empty words, let's lead and not follow

Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel
My world goes black before I feel an angel steal me from the
Greedy jaws of death and chance, and pull me in with steady hands
They've given me a second chance, the artist in the ambulance

[Chorus]

Can we pick you off the ground,
more than flashing lights and sound</div>
