This is the moron firefighter that made a mockery about the retirement system. I will lengthen this comment later, as I need to leave for work, HOWEVER, I didn't want to pass it up.

That poor Fire Fighter! INJURIES SUCK
Ok, I know I have not posted in a long time. Part of it was lack of inspiration, the other part was me not caring too much. But this can not and will not be overlooked. I tried. My brother in law Chuck emailed this to me and I sat on it for a day. Partially to see if it enraged me enough to sit and type my aggravation out, the other part was me trying to find a little bit of good in it. Well, as my unemployed ass sat in bed last night, I couldn't help but think "what a dick head, your a injured firefighter getting 100% tax free". That's right, as a fire fighter in mass, if you are hurt on the job, you get 100% tax free until you can return to work or retire out. If you retire out injured, at my last check it, is the average of your top 3 years of by, multiplied by 72% and that's what you get. No taxes taken, you get health care and a few other little things. That is (and rightfully so) a thank you from the state to police officers and fire fighters who injure themselves in the line of duty and can not work any longer. I know this because, I worked with plenty of people police and fire that HAD to take it. Personally, my father had a stroke as a police officer. His doctor stated that it was work/stress related. The cities doctor stated otherwise...guess who won!! Ya, I am a tad bitter on this subject. So now onto injured fire fighter turned professional body builder Albert Arroyo. If you know the story read on, if not here is the link to the story.
Now, first of all I am no FIRE FIGHTING BASHING. I have a few friends in the business and I will be the first to state that I would take a gun toting lunatic against a fire burning ANY DAY. A fire and not be rationalized with, a lunatic can be on one level or another. Fire Fighters in general are ALMOST as wonderful as the news makes them out to be. Honestly no group could live up to the hype set forth by today's media when it comes to Fire Fighters.
So Albert I have two questions, is your IQ the same number as you placed in the competition (number 8) and WHAT THE F*^k. How friggen arrogant can one man be. Its not like you called in sick to go to the RED SOX game or to go to your kids school play. YOU COMPETED IN A NATIONAL BODY BUILDING competition. Were you confident that there was no camera's there or press coverage. What if you won, its not like you competed under an assumed name. You DOLT! Are you that good of a guy where you never pissed ANYONE OFF, so you were confident NOBODY IN THE WORLD would turn you in. ASSH*OLE.
Ok, that made me feel a LITTLE better. now let me jump pages to his Lawyer, James S. Dilday (that joke writes itself). This obvious ambulance chaser, who consulted ARROYO, but had not been hired by him (I don't believe that) states "The bodybuilding helped him cope, emotionally and physically, with the travails and rigors of working as a firefighter". Ok, keep going you should now say "UNTIL HE HURT HIS BACK THEN HE COULD NOT LIFT WEIGHTS"...say it damn it...SAY IT. Where the hell is Sam Kinison when you need him. This guy would be F^*king fired already for not coming up with a better line. It wasn't even a Boston Fire Fighters Union Lawyer, that's how you know this is such B*LL SHIT, his own brothers and sisters aren't coming to his aid.
Now back to Arroyo, 'cause I ain't done yet. He got on the job (slang for started work) in 1986. His current salary is $68,133, that's not peso's my friends. So, I spoke earlier of how the injury retirement would go. If he RETIRED with an injury it is the average of his top 3 years of pay multiplied by 72%. But he is out INJURED, still on the job. So he gets %100 tax free.I needed help figuring what he was making but thanks to quicken, Microsoft money and my toes I came up with this figure, $68,000 give or take a few hundred. Oh, and medical coverage and what ever else any other active fire fighter received. That is what he got paid to get ready for this competition. if he retired it would be close to that, not to mention the public servant equivalent of a private 401K that HE pays into (I wouldn't argue that he should get that), health care, and a nice watch, and a party at St. Florians Hall (The Boston FF union/function hall).
And, again, its not like this guy was a front line JAKE (slang for fire fighter) running into burning buildings. He was a fire fighter assigned to be a BUILDING INSPECTOR. He isn't the guy or gal that jumps off the truck, turn out gear (fire fighting gear) grabs an axe and saves granny from a 4th alarm fire. He is the guy that is going to show up and tell you your sprinkler system sucks.
So, Congrats on coming in 8th Arroyo, cause in my heart you are the 1st place ASSH*OLE.
(oh, and if this was a cop it would have made NATIONAL news and his family would be incarcerated with him. but that's a different story on why the news sucks and the double standard that happens there)

Dear Berkeley Follow up
For anyone who hasn't seen, Rob Riggle and the Daily Show did a KICK ASS report on the Berkeley protests against the Marines. Just search Rob Riggle and Berkeley from Google and it is one of the first responses. Too funny, but it also shows the insanity that is bred among this lunatics. Also, I have received NO response from any of the city council members I emailed, I guess that is the ultimate answer. So, I am also starting to forward the blog to major news sources, because I am sick of this shit.

Happy New Year: Losing weight, and other resolutions I intend to break
Well, here we are in the first week of January huh? Well don't worry about those resolutions, you'll break all of them soon. I know, I know, you want to be happy, healthier, better with money, new job.....stop me when I get to the one your either going to break, or already have broke. See, I think it is all a crock. I think your resolutions should be made on your birthday. YOUR new year, not the one you share with the masses. That way there would be far less pressure and more success. The way it is now, from December 31st until Feb 1st every A-hole and their mother asks you "whats you resolutions, you sticking with it..muahahahahahaha". To which I would like to answer "No, I didn't make any new ones this year probably because I rock and don't need fixing". Is it true? Partially, I like me, my values and who I am. I am sure that other people don't think so, but they don't have to live my life. But for the sake of argument here are some things I would change about me.....
1. "I am going to lose weight" - OK, I could probably lose to drop about 20 lbs., and then I think of the people at the food store, I start eating less what would happen to their bottom line? These people depend on me to keep food on their loved ones table, and I am a giver......So I can not let them down, I refuse.
2. "Come January 1, no more smoking" - That's right, I will not allow myself to be set on fire and have my body smoke for the sake of entertainment, what you thought I meant cigarettes??? HA HA HA
3. "I am going to be better with money" - No more putting it though the wash or pissing it away to charities, I am going keep it all for myself, I can take it with me when I die.
4. "I am going to treat me fellow man better" - I would never make this resolution because I understand that that woman are equally important, and I am not a sexist. So, try again.
5. "I am going to be better to the environment" - DONE, long before it was cool to drive a low gas mileage vehicle, and hug trees, I was driving a little 4 cylinder pick up that gets 27 mpg (I figured that out driving across the country) , Move over Al Gore, I want my Nobel Prize.
6. "I will remember that telemarketers are people too" - People that have no soul I may add. And I am not forgetting that. Go ahead call me when I am sleeping one more time and try to sell me a LARK........
7. "I am going to try and just be a better person and American" - This one is realistic. You see, were have become a society in which someone with a degree or a TV show constantly telling me how I should improve myself. Lose weight, quit smoking, worry about the environment etc... Here is a novel idea, TAKE CARE OF YOUR SELF AND FAMILY, and then TAKE CARE OF THE COUNTRY. I am sick and tired of watching people disgrace themselves and my country. HAVE SOME DAMN COMMON SENSE, and do the right thing. Help people when they need it, REALLY NEED IT, get some self pride and pride in your country. I am not saying that people aren't proud, but they are only proud a few days a year, i.e. July 4th, 9/11, etc. That pride you feel those days to be an American, HAVE IT EVERYDAY. Where an American Flag pin on your suit, get an American flag sticker on your car, teach your children the rich history of this country. I am not saying you have to join the military, you don't have to you live in a country that has a voluntary service law. So don't disrespect the place that lets you be free. And if you don't feel this way, get up off your ass and run for government. It is your right! I don't agree with many politicians, I will defend to the death their right to say it.
So, that's it I am issuing everyone that challenge. Once a week, learn something new about our country and teach it to your kids if u have them. Read about the sacrifices American service men and woman, Law Enforcement, Fire Fighters and everyone else who have made sacrifices for us all the way back to the revolutionary war. I know this isn't a perfect nation, but look around we are one of the closest to being so. So, go wave a flag and Happy New YEAR....and I remind everyone to read my disclaimer on my first post if u don't agree.
