Many of the things I read or listen to these days have to do with understanding morality, or the author trying their best to understand humanity. These pieces of writing are often times my favorite because they tackle issues that I myself often feel compelled to think about; albeit talk about when I’m either veryContinue reading “10pm thoughts on a Sunday”

Talking stock
At the moment the dinning hall of the Wyss Wilderness Medicine Campus is brightly lit, filled with happy voices, punctuated with laughter, and the occasional beep from the microwave. Everyone is in different states of preparedness for the upcoming week, and overwhelmingly the impression is one of anticipation and excitement for whats to come. AlongContinue reading “Talking stock”
Continuing on with the WEMT: Day 9
It’s a cold morning. The kind of cold morning where the color of the sky seems to match the temperature of the air. But it is a crisp fall cold, not yet the over bearing oppressive cold of winter. The west sky is covered in dark gray clouds, but further east streaks of gold andContinue reading “Continuing on with the WEMT: Day 9”
End of day 1: 10/15/18
So this is gonna be hard. Probably not the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but academically its going to be very challenging. I’m gonna have to read way more than I did today, and be way more on my game than I have been. The practical skills don’t worry me much and I plan onContinue reading “End of day 1: 10/15/18”
Day One: 10/15/18 06:22am
It is 21degrees outside. The first light of day is not yet visible, but the first signs of life are more than noticeable. The crew next to us is awake and chatting loudly. And lights are slowly starting to flicker on around campus. The general air is one of excitement, you can tell people areContinue reading “Day One: 10/15/18 06:22am”
And so it begins a letter to myself: EMT at Wyss Medical Campus Lander, Wyoming 2018
I’m sitting in “Yellow Right,” the name, if you will, of the cabin where you will be staying for the next month. You’ve been talking to William, the first person you met while, unloading your car, speaking about the anticipation of the course. You’re slowly starting to realize the vast amount of work ahead ofContinue reading “And so it begins a letter to myself: EMT at Wyss Medical Campus Lander, Wyoming 2018”
Colorado River (Dewey Bridge to Moab Bridge) 7/2-7/4 Continued
Floating those first 45 minutes was spectacular to say the least. Our first impressions of the river were that of majesty, intensity, and total and complete stoke. There are very few things in this world that I would say I don’t get excited about, but somethings get me way more pumped than others. The riverContinue reading “Colorado River (Dewey Bridge to Moab Bridge) 7/2-7/4 Continued”
Colorado River (Dewey Bridge to Moab Bridge) 7/2-7/4
7/1 10:30pm: “Hey Jonas grab the front end. Ready lift!” Jonas and I tug up on the Mad River Canoe, green and beaten. “Alright walk back, around these two trees. You know I had a boss in Hawaii when I lived there who just loved to chastise you for bumping into stuff while moving things.Continue reading “Colorado River (Dewey Bridge to Moab Bridge) 7/2-7/4”
I like hiking.
Well here I am back in a little coffee shop in Boulder, CO writing about the things I like. Surprise. Amazing how cathartic it is to vent to a website without really knowing who if anyone will ever read the things I write. So I guess it can be said that I really am writingContinue reading “I like hiking.”
Arapahoe Pass
It happens fairly often. I lose my god damn mind. The strange yet constant monotony of daily life. The wake up, work/ school, chores, groceries, food, and sleep. Whats funny is that the things that we do for ourselves to shake us out of the grind themselves become a player in this system of repetition.Continue reading “Arapahoe Pass”
