- About Me:
- I am 23.
I love my life.
I could fish all day (and night) everyday for the rest of my life and be perfectly content... even if they aren't biting.
I love to cook and barbecue (I can roast a mean pig).
I am a Powerlifter.
I love to work out.
I love my career.
I am an officer.
I am a training officer.
I love automotive mechanics.
I love the outdoors.
I am 6' 10"
I have a tattoo.
I want a couple more tattoos.
I am humble.
People say that I am a great listener.
People say that I am a good leader.
There are two rules in EMS.
#1. People die
#2. EMT's cannot always change rule #1
"... He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian.'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day.'
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother..."
~William Shakespeare c.1599: Henry V

Oh yes, I almost forgot to give this to you. When I arrived in Orleans I was driving this with a 1965 Austin Mini Cooper dry car in tow.

- Thank you for your kind words at my blog post Caleb.
To be honest I feel people are given what they have in this life and can make what ever they see fit with it. Some choose to make "lemonade" and others just pucker up and complain.
I truly feel it is a fear based reaction to someone they just do not understand as I do not follow the "beaten path" and have a way to find a possibility in any situation to "live and fight another day". I understand that this indeed puts some people off and they show me contempt but I honestly do not understand this crew of mine in Orleans.
