I have to say that you get a rush, when you drive a fire truck at 4:00 in the morning. The siren is used sparingly and there is no one on the roads. Last night, well this morning when i was about to go to bed, my fire company was toned out as the Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) for a fire. The RIT team is a select group of firefighters that are trained in special opperations at a fire scene. I do not possess all the training for this team. I do have some of the training, and i am an interior firefighter, so every once in a while i get to help. I am though qualifed to drive the truck, so i get to go as the driver.
One of these nights i hope to get a full nights sleep.

EulogyCategory: food for thought
If you had to write your own eulogy, what would it say? What were your greatest accomplishments? Who would you never forget? What would you never forget about them? Don’t forget your family, close and distant. Say something about all of them. Be specific. Let them know what you really felt for them. Who was the person that you told everything too? Was it your girlfriend/boyfriend/partner? Say that. Were their others in your life that made a difference? Tell your story. Tell about something bad that happened to you. Tell something that no one knows about. It can’t hurt you. Tell about a crush you had on someone that you never exposed to them. What were your favorite hobbies? What did you want to do but couldn’t? What could you never grasp? What was your greatest fault?
I know that there is more to write about, but have you ever thought of what people would say, once you are dead? I know that I have many times and I hope that my true friends will know that I noticed them everyday and would do anything for them.

My WritingCategory: poetry
I really like writing. My writing takes me to places that I wish I could go to. I can put my characters in situations that I can only dream of. That’s the fun in writing. I do also take some of my personal undertakings and add them. The poetry I write has come from break ups, work and just finding the right words. I never will make apparent who or where my writing comes from specifically.
For some reason I have not been writing much. I just was not in the mood. I guess my life was a calm pond. Well now my life is getting ripples in it and I am nervous to see what will happen. Some of the ripples fade out before hitting the side banks, while others crash, spilling up on the clean cut grass.
I hope that my writing comes back to me and that I will have more ideas to write about and new experiences to include.

Fixing MathThe diagrams did not come out how i wanted them to, so i redid them witht the 1's and the 0's
the first diagram should look like this:
1000001000011
0000000000000
0001100010000
0001100011000
0001100011000
0001100011000
The second diagram should look like this
1000001000001
0000000000000
0001100011000
0001100011000
0001100011000
0001100011000
thus making a shap that is close to an m.
sorry about the mess up. it took out my spaces (the ones)

Why do i remember my dreams.
Dream # 1
I was yelling at my father. He took the only radio out of my room. I was so mad
I still don't know what that dream means.
Dream # 2
I was at a party or some sort. I lit a cigarette and gave it to someone after i puffed on it.
I have an idea about that one but it will be a while to see if that turns out right.
Dream # 3
I went bowling, and i forgot my shoes at home. I had to wear a red shoe and a white shoe. The red one i had to wear on my left foot and the white on my right. I don't remember tying them. I was bowling so bad. I was not truely mad. I believe i was with friends.
i think that i need to go bowling! It has been so long.
Dreams are fun to learn about and get others opinions on what they think about the dreams. Does anyone else dream and remember them in fine detail.

i remember fine details about some of my dreams. the other day i was telling Ladycroft about an odd one i had in which i forgot i had to write a thesis, and i didn't even know what a thesis was! so at the last minute, because it took me the same amount of time to figure out what one was that it took the other students to do thiers, i decided to write it out on 3 x 5 cards and hand in a recipe box. the recipe box was orange and plastic and the instructions were written in bold marker on the lid.
Welcome to estrip, David. Looking forward to reading more of your jouranls.

funny you wrote about this. Just today, Ladycroft and myself were talking about our dreams.. the intricate nature, the profoundness of them and how we wish there was a means to have a video printout of our dreams. That would be some crazy stuff.
