About Me

A little about me well I was born in louisville kentucky and I have lived here all 20 years of my life. I went to Eastern High School graduated in 04. While I was in high school I played in the band and on the hockey team. Outside of school I worked and still work at the Dairy Queen in Middletown. I also was an explorer on the Middletown Fire Department. After I turned 18 I went through the Fire Academy and I'm now proud to say I'm a Firefighter for the Middletown Fire Protection District. I love the job and I love the brothers and sisters that work along side me everyday. I would not trade that job for any job in the world. Even though I have seen more shit in my year and a half on the department then most people will see in there lives I still love the feeling of doing something great for others. Now I'm trying to become a paid firefighter on a department somewhere. That is my next goal so I can get out of that hell kitchen called Dairy Queen.I can't forget about the love of my life Kara she has allways been there for me and I don't know what i would do with out her. We have both been through some hard times but we fought through them together and it Has only made us stronger. She lights up my life like none other and every time I see her I just smile so big cuz she makes me that happy If it wasn't for her I wouldn't be me today. I love you Kara!!!!!! I also Have a dalmation named shadow he is so sweet I love him to death. Well for now that is my life in a paragraph. untill next time, love everbody.Josh aka.(frankie)I'm also on aim a lot my screen name is MFIREPLUG303

My Interests

my interests that is a big section. life is just an interests in itself. there is so much to do and so little time to do it in.

I'd like to meet:

people that care more about others then they do them selfs cuz that is why god really put us here was to watch over each other.

Music:

music no brainer country. I just can't stand hearing music when you can't even understand what the hell there saying. plus country is relaxing that is why i like it.

Movies:

firefighting movies like Ladder 49, Backdraft is my all time favorite. I know there is a lot of stuff they do in the movies that is totaly wrong but it is as close as hollywood is going to get it right now.

Television:

Sportscenter everyday have to catch up on my sports. other then that FX's show RESCUE ME that show has got firefighting down to the science they not only show what it is like in a fire but they take you into the firefighters heads and let you see what we deal with everyday. think about that the next time you watch this show.

Books:

i don't read, not because i don't like it, ok yeah becasue i hate to read. I Also don't have time.

Heroes:

my grandfather he was a fireman for 40 years and my brother who is a fireman and my uncle who is also a fireman i love these guys there your everyday heros.
