Oh Don't Blow Away

Wind from spring, from yesterday
holding back the rain
quenching summer thirst


I saw the apple blossoms blossoming
bursting sweet with summers scent
the unburned forests pray still taller

Butterflies and yellow birds
hold chipmunks of at bay for seeds
while chirping constantly

The clouds run up and down the valley
over hills and through thick woods
I catch a fresh breath daily

All I ask is what I learn
oh please don't blow away

I want to teach I want to know
when all this will burn

May the embers burn forever
this is what I wish.



So I'm still in Leavenworth, last week of my WIlderness EMT-B course.  It's been super fun.  Lots of new knowledge.  Lots of new friends.  I can't wait to apply what I've learned.  If you know anyone who needs an expedition medic or any sort of medical technician, tell them to email me.  I need a job, haha!  Heres the site for the course: http://www.remotemedical.com/Wilderness-EMT-WEMT

I highly recommend it for people interested in EMT-B training.  The instructors have been awesome, the group has been diverse, talented, respectful, and awesome.  Can't wait to start inserting airways in real patients. I had my second ER rotation this past weekend up in Skagit county and I had a blast.

Lots of people to help out in the world.

Now for some pictures.  Sorry for the randomness/untimely posting of pictures/lack of recent posts.  I have been doing nothing but studying the National Registry EMT-B Emergency medicine book.  It's huuuuuuugggggeeeee.  And I wanted to know my shit.  We'll see how the practicals and the National Registry test go.  More on that later.  Eye candy :)))

"Home" for the past month


A gang of us in Club BAMF (aka the Nut Hut)
Built mostly by Tim, an ex-Army Ranger who's got mad MacGyver skills.
He built this 5 person shelter in about 40 minutes with a little help from Diego, Danny, and I.
It's still out there in the woods.

Gonna miss all these fools from the course when we're done on Friday...

Onwards and upwards towards new things and more.
