I am Aaron. I am married with 3 kids and I live in Utah, and yes I am a Mormon,mormon.org, and a nontraditional college student at Weber State University weber.edu. I love the outdoors, I love to build things as well as fix things, otherwise known as tinkering. I am a Libertarian leaning Conservative, and very opinionated. Most of my ideas and opinions come from a deep belief in God.

              I hoped to put my mental Rolodex of experiences into words, make millions, and live the good life. But life happened and all I did was put it off. Well, I am not writing the book but I am writing this Blog as a result of my College English class’s final assignment. Thank heaven for this assignment, because my memories are starting to slip away, I have taken great pains to remove the terrible memories and an unfortunate side-effect is that some of the good memories also get forgotten.

              I live in a kind of -- Walter Mitty world, I have a wild imagination and often run alternative scenarios in my mind to lighten up or exaggerate certain experiences.  For instance, I was stopped at the scene of a call with the patient all loaded up and ready to transport to the hospital, I was the driver, and I noticed a bus coming towards me from the direction I was pointed in the opposite lane. I also noticed a couple "rubber neckers" (official term) across the street. These two guys just had to see what was going on, but with heavy traffic and our imminent departure they began to run across the street as the bus was passing them, with the intent of being able to run right past the rear-end of the bus as it passed, you know with all the perfect timing in the world. In my mind I thought how great it would be for the bus to just slam on the brakes because a soccer ball rolled out into traffic causing these two goons to run into the side of the bus, not to get hurt but to make me laugh... I hope that you will join my imagination and experience train to enlightenment and joy-- all aboard.
