Jack Sarick'sPronunciation: /dʒæk sær.ək/ (my name rhymes with Quack Barrack) webgarden

Hello, and welcome to my corner of the internet. Like a cottage or a garden, this is a place I maintain and tend as a hobby, and I invite you to come and visit. ✿

I am a curious person. You may find me out and about looking at things or for things. If You are in fact looking for me (possibly to help look for someone else I'm pretty good at finding people who got lost or hurt in the wods/desert/wilderness/etc), please reach out to me. Otherwise, I will be wandering around somewhere in meatspace where finding me is not as easy as following a url.

Imagined Memory

Currently I find myself a paramedic student in the Maritimes. There are other parts of me too, like reading and fishing, but I try not to digitize too much of my life. In cyberspace I can still be found in Minecraft servers doing more or less the same things I do in meatspace, which is to say hanging with friends, fishing, and building silly little structures in the woods.

Further Memories of Travel

Turtle Island is vast and I have zig-zagged through much of the middle parts and dawdled along the rivers and mountains and coasts. The trees are generally my favourite part, though I have also found some incredible people among them. Much of my travelling is done by wheel or foot because any faster and it becomes so easy to miss all the important bits inbetween. This, however, is impractical for seeing the vast world that exists across oceans and geography. I am colouring in farther away part of the map much slower. My bucket list right now stands something like Mongolia, Cuba, Oaxaca, Philipines, and Morocco.

Further Memories of Education

My path has not been particularyly direct, there being so much to explore. I spent ~3ish discontiguous years at University of King's College studying contemporary philosophyGenerally speaking, contemporary philosophy is everything after Nietzsche. Specifically, I can talk your ear off about Benjamin and Deleuze and completed an EMT-BAn 'Emergency Medical Technichian - Basic' certificate is the credential needed to work as an emergency contractor in the States certificate at Colorado Mountain College. When the pandemic started I put my formal education on pause and went to work where there was a need. Making the transition from philosophy to emergency medicine was an unexpected but not unwelcome change. I've since worked everything from inner-city ambulances to high-alpine ski patrol. The practical and engaging world of emergency healthcare has been an incredible learning opportunity, one that's really caught my imagination.
