Bullets Over Fondue

May 10, 2013 By Dave Konig 1 Comment

Unbeknownst to me, apparently the Popstar and I have a tradition. We eat fondue after seeing a Marvel Movie. We ate fondue after The Avengers, and a year later we dipped our sticks again after Iron Man 3. I discovered this fact through the Timehop app. So here’s a bullet list of things I thought of while eating fondue:

    Chocolate_Fondue

  • I don’t get the metal plates they give us at Simply Fondue. Perhaps it’s my fondue naivety, but why not give me a regular type of plate? Why does it need to be metal? Luckily I’m up to date on my Tetanus shot
  • EMS Week is coming soon, and sadly the only plans I hear of are what agencies are doing for their EMTs/Paramedics. I’m not hearing much about community outreach or events to help promote the industry, only how to increase the waistlines of the providers. Some agencies have gone so far as to negate the entire EMS Week aspect and make it rather an all encompassing appreciation week to include their billing staff, call receivers, and dispatchers. I guess it’s too much to recognize people during their own weeks, such as Administrative Professionals Week (last full week in April) and National Telecommunicators Week (second week in April) and just easier to abscond with National EMS Week than to do the right thing
  • Billions of vegetables are being slaughtered every day for the hunger of the vegetarians. I should eat more bacon
  • I’ve always enjoyed the various works of Penn Jillette. Whether it be his magic, his writings, his podcasting, or his television shows, he is someone I enjoy being both informed and entertained by. Recently I have had the opportunity to enjoy him on the Celebrity Apprentice, and I have to be honest, I think Penn‘s going to come out on top this season. There it is, that’s my prediction. You heard it here first

And finally…

  • I really haven’t commented a lot about the Boston Bombings. I think it was a cowardly act resulting in a terrible outcome that affected so many more lives than those injured that there unequivocally must be justice. I understand that the one still alive is actually a US Citizen, making him a traitor, and has garnered some sort of sympathy from the naive former #OccupyMovement members in the form of a hashtag #FreeJahar. I’m all for freedom of speech and all that, so I’m fine with it… but I’m also a believer of if you talk the talk then you need to walk the walk. So everyone who has such a bad attitude about this country, well, ya’ll can leave. Take your #FreeJahar tweets to Syria, or Egypt, or Libya, or any of those other countries that seem to treat their citizens better in your warped perspective

Bullets Over Black Forrest

February 22, 2013 By Dave Konig Leave a Comment

One of the things that I used to do in blogging was to do “Bullets Over …” posts. This comes from the fact that I often have numerous random thoughts while eating/drinking/doing something, and the fact that bullet lists are one of the easiest types of blog posts to write. Of course, I would be remiss if I didn’t point out that the man with the best bullet posts would be Dave2 at Blogography, who happens to have done over 300+ Bullet Sunday posts.

Black Forrest CakeSo the thoughts today are coming to you while dining over Black Forrest Cake from the Georgia Diner, one of my semi-frequent favorite places to eat where you can get breakfast at dinner and dessert after breakfast.

  • I’m all about coffee (iced coffee in particular) but I’m not a fan of Starbucks. True fans of Starbucks pay $47.30 for a cup of coffee, and that’s just too rich for my caffeination
  • When it comes to self-publishing, Joanna Penn has more than just a great writer’s name and I always find her content thought provoking and insightful
  • Timehop is one of my favorite apps on my iPhone. I love being able to look back and see what I was doing a year, two years, and three years ago
  • My favorite controversial riot-inciting EMS blogger Rogue Medic is expanding his reach with a new podcast called Rogue Medic Rants. I’m looking forward to see how many iPods burst into flame with his undoubtedly incendiary commentary

And my final deep thought…

  • I’ve been brainstorming what my next self-published eBook project should be. I’m a bit torn over it because I already have a first round edited manuscript of my memoirs at Forest Hills VAC ready to go, but I do enjoy writing the non-fiction help style eBooks and at the same time I really want to start working on my fiction line. Of course, I don’t want to spend a lot of time thinking about what to write… I just want to get to writing. Any suggestions are more than welcome in the comments…

8,940,960 minutes

It has been 8,940,960 minutes since 9:59am on September 11, 2001 when the South Tower of the Word Trade Center collapsed. It was on that clear, crisp, perfectly blue skied Tuesday September morning where blood from all nations was spilled on soil below where the Stars and Stripes flew for the first time since the […]
