A Day At Work As A Paramedic For The L.A.County Fire Department

Just another day at work for my long-time friend David Agerbeek; a Firefighter/Paramedic with the Los Angeles County Fire Department.  He gave me this picture and asked me to post it on my blog so I did. A picture is worth a thousand words!

I use to have a thing for firefighters. I dated so many.  I had a lot of visits to different fire stations and even went on calls on the Rescue Truck and different Engines. This was thrilling and scary as you never knew what to expect when you got to a call.  David was one of my besties for a very long time. I loved having a meal with the firefighters at Station 106 as well as rushing to a call on the Rescue Truck. Thanks for that memory David. You might not think so but I do miss hanging out with you... all those meals we had together, shopping at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, meeting up at the gym for years, going to church and hanging out at your condo, the beach, etc. 

Prolific Music Icon Prince Dies At Age 57

Eclectic music legend Prince died today just two months short of his 58^th birthday. Prince was very much an enigma. His music, a mix of funk and rock-n-roll, was so unique and will live on forever in history. Prince was 100% a super star. I remember one night I was at a night club on the Sunset strip in Hollywood. The music was pumping and the dance floor was jumping. And when I looked to the left of me I saw Prince all by himself standing up against the wall wearing very dark shades just hanging in the club with his body guards nearby keeping a watchful eye on him. And the next time I saw him was when I had an exclusive VIP pass to one of his appearances on the Arsenio Hall Show on Valentine’s Day where he performed The Most Beautiful Girl In The World and gave the audience a rare, customized piece of music memorabilia. Amazing!

Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant's Final Game

After an esteemed 20 year career as a Los Angeles Laker, NBA superstar Kobe Bryant played his last game tonight at the Staples Center; home of the Los Angeles Lakers. Not only did Kobe maneuver a high-pressure comeback for the Lakers in the last couple of minutes of the game for a 101 - 96 win over the Utah Jazz but he ended his career with a bang with a historic season-high 60 point game bringing down the house for one last time. You rock Kobe!

Donald Trump's Twitter Account

I decided to check out Donald Trump’s twitter account, Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump, after reading a story about his successor host to Celebrity Apprentice, Arnold Schwarzenegger, for the 2016/2017 TV season. All I can say about Mr. Trump’s twitter account is… Oh my goodness! The tweets were entertaining. Mr. Trump is very direct. It is no wonder that his candidacy and campaigning for President of the United States of America elicits visceral reactions from the masses.
