Heyyyyy Ocarina! Okay, Maybe that's not quite right... It says what I need though! So yea, I was stumbling around the internet and found something incredibly awesome. An Ocarina app for Iphone, of course the first thing I do is down load the android version and I've been playing away ever since! Now, there are limits! it is only a 4 hole ocarina, but it's enough to have fun with. I've been playing with it and reading about them and now I'm getting serious about buying one and learning to play it. A real 12 hole, tenor or bass. So, instead of studying for SAT's or something, I'm playing the digital ocarina on my phone....
First off, watch the above clip... It may not be the same for you, but that 4 note whistle almost reduces me to tears... ridiculous. I know, but Rue is an amazing character! Rue's death is what really made me think about the atrocities being committed against children that are a full generation away from the rebellion that caused the Games, SEVENTY FOUR YEARS! I mean compare this to what Joseph Kony is doing, or to what happened in the Rowandan genocide! The people of the Capital (can you think of anywhere that could be considered "The Capital"?) Just see these things as a fun, they don't actually hear the cry's of children being forced to kill each other. Honestly, I don't know as much as I should about the Kony story, Rowanda, or the political state of Nepal. does that irritate me? yea, but it still isn't enough to make me do something. I mean honestly, I want to. I, like most other people don't see how, money, while we have buckets more then most people is still needed so I can do things like pay for gas, food, insurance, weddings, college, all this stuff! I can volunteer locally, like I do at the hospital. I can help people in my area, but what about Africa? I could volunteer there but that takes money. lots of it, I could send money, but half the time it gets used else where. I know people want to care. I know people want to help. I just wish I was one of those people brave enough to care, to put my hands to work and help, In 20 years that's what I hope to be doing as a doctor. So I'm working toward a goal to help people. I'm just sad and glad I was born in the Capital.

Finally! I have in my hands my NREMT certification and my Maine EMS license! Thank you mail man! My pretty little certification Some swag! I don't know what I'm going to put it on. I might get a spring coat and put it on that. Last but not lease my NREMT card! I'm also signed up for my Paramedic class in September which is good. It will be interesting to try and manage work, school, and life but i'm excited for the challenge. I would be interested to hear some poor medic student stories if People have them.
Wow. What a fun book . At 200 pages it's a quick read. However! The book still covers a lot not seen in the Disney movie, shocker right? Well, I'm sure most everyone has seen the Disney movie of Peter Pan. So the plot of the book was used for the movie. What I enjoyed about the book so much more is the narrator acts like a living entity in the story! Suppose, to make her happy, we whisper to her in her sleep that the brats are coming back. They are really within two miles of the window now, and flying strong, but all we need whisper is that they are on the way. Let's. It is a pity we did it, for she has started up, calling their names; and there is no one in the room but Nana. ~ Peter Pan, Pg 188. It makes you feel like you're a ghost, quietly following the stories and adventures of Peter, Wendy, and the Lost boys. Only rarely whispering into their world, When you do though... Bone chilling. Even just reading that the narrator is doing it pulls you that much tight...
Hello. My name is Nicholas. I work for a private Ambulance. Now that I am fully oriented I work 60 hrs a week. I couldn't be happier, or more tired. I'm making major bank. ------------------------------------------ Anyways.... So I'm working Delta for real now and It's both fun and tiring. I'm working nights on the BLS truck, I get to take care of your sweet hearted granny!..... And your crazy ass uncle that's a Vietnam vet... so it's a fair trade. After a week I was on Reddit EMS and they had a good post about gear guys carry. pretty standard info. Good stethoscope, trauma shears, pen. well I have all of those... but it's a lot to keep in your pockets and when you're trying to catch a quick nap it sucks to have shears stabbing your quad. So I went and ordered a molle drop leg with some pouches. I'll see how it goes and post pics and such when I get everything in and running. Now I know I should take some ...
