Capt. Mike

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

About Me

Fidelis Ad Mortem
You can view additional pictures at my Yahoo! Photos page
Currently I am the Operations Manager for a contracting corp. and work my ass off running the company. On average I think I have been putting in 55-60hour work weeks so far, but I enjoy the job and don't mind working those types of hours. I mean hey, how many 25 yr olds get to run multi-million dollar company? Since I get up at 5am my weeknights are never too late, but I make up for it on the weekends when I'm hanging out with my friends. If there is something worth staying up for the hell with sleep... isnt that what my desk is for?
I am also a vol. firefighter and currently hold the position of Captain in my department. You can imagine all the crazy hours we have calls, they always seem to be at the worst time possible too (ie: sleeping, dinner time, 10 minutes after I left the firehouse to go home, etc.). On top of calls there are a bunch of meetings I go to, 2 a month standard but I am also on department committees that sometimes have meetings. I really enjoy the fire department and 99.9% of the guys I work with are great, I couldn't ask for a better group of people.
I am always trying to have fun and get the people around me to do the same. I do not do drugs and enjoy going out drinking (but not getting too drunk) either in Baldwin, RVC, or Wantagh with my friends. I have been called, and consider myself, a romantic.
I'm looking for a female who...
-is Independent
-is Motivated in life
-is True from the start, not a disappointment months later
-is Not afraid to make moves (I'm shy)
-wants to be a part of my life as I want to be a part of theirs
-does not mind the fire department and the dedication I put into it
Just be real, be you from the start... I promise to be me because Id rather you hate me and cut me now than hate me later and rip my heart out.
If any of this sounds good get in touch with me on AIM at MDJ1281, talk to me and give me another excuse to go out and have fun, who knows maybe it will turn into something worth while.

- "I love you , and because I love you, I would sooner have you hate me for telling you the truth than adore me for telling you lies." - Pietro Arentino

- "I put no stock in religion. By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of god. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness. What god desires is here [points to head] and here [points to heart] , and by what you decide to do eveyday, will make you a good man...or not." - Kingdom of Heaven

- "It's not a lie if you believe it, It's no mistake if it's always repeated."

- "My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness." ~The Dalai Llama

- "I don't know what the key to success is, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." -Bill Cosby

- "semper teidium"

- "If you worry you die. If you don't worry, you also die. So why worry?" - Mike Horn

-"Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop. Your normal speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side. This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop-heart. Make the bastard chase you. He will follow." - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

-"It's okay. He's just admiring the shape of your skull." - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

"Firemen are going to get killed. When they join the department they face that fact. When a man becomes a fireman his greatest act of bravery has been accomplished. What he does after that is all in the line of work. They were not thinking of getting killed when they went where death lurked. They went there to put the fire out, and got killed. Firefighters do not regard themselves as heroes because they do what the business requires." - Edward F. Croker

Movies:

Firefighting: Inside The Fire by Lou Angeli


..
Go face-to-face with the red devil in this amazing firefighting video trailer produced by filmmaker Lou Angeli. You can almost feel the heat as the camera follows firefighting teams into the thick of action. Coming soon from Chesca Media Group LLC. My favorite type of movie is the one that messes with your head. Donnie Darko, Usual Suspects, Momento, and Butterfly Effect are all examples of that type of movie. I also enjoy cult classic comedy such as Animal House, Airplane, Caddy Shack, Monty Python (Holy Grail, Life of Brian, etc), History of the World (Pt. I), and Spaceballs. Otherwise I am an action movie lover, guess it's just the guy in me.

Television:

I don't have much time for TV, but I am a whore for some shows.
-Family Guy
-Lost
-Just about anything on Adult Swim
-NYPD Blue (TNT reruns while eating lunch!)
-Just getting into The Shield (just started season 1)ChelseaMS

Books:



Heroes:

My friends and family for putting up with me. My fellow firefighters for constantly teaching me, watching my back and letting me do the same now that I am experienced. The guy who works two jobs to support his family. Most importantly the man, who in the future, will hunt down and kill the people who developed popups and spyware thinking they were a good thing.
