Almost done!

I am on the last 12 hours of a 72 hour shift. So far NO CALLS! Incredible. 32 hours of over time in 3 days. Whew...Looking forward to my 4 days off. Today in the quiet of the station I had some thoughts....

As I prepare to turn 36, I suddenly find myself getting re-acquainted with people I knew from high school. Some I liked, like Kim Nelson. She was one of the "pretty girls" who was down to earth and not stuck up to guys like me. You see, I had a chip on both shoulders back then and did not make many friends. She always had something nice to say and I think it gave me hope for people. She married Kevin McIntosh, the football player/basketball star. they now have 3 children. She found me on myspace.com. That is pretty cool. I began to do one of those "where are they now" searches. I found several HS friends and foes from back in the day. My 20th reunion is coming up in 2 years. I wonder what has become of some of those people. Sometimes I wish my life had been different as far as what I do. I wish I could have gone on to Chiropractic school, but then again, I get bored very quickly. Doing the same thing day in and day out would suck! They make mad bank though... I often wonder what turns life could have taken and where I would be if they had. What if I had gotten into the military in 1990? Well, I would have gone to the first Iraq war and would likely have been involved in some sort of missions. Special forces of course. Na, I would have been discharged for striking an officer. I really hated authority then. I guess God had His plan for my life and it is going according to it. I love my life as is, but do tend to wonder the what if's - DJ
