I Can’t, age 34, passed away July 6th after a long battle with the soul of a Paramedic Student.  I Can’t was survived by parents,  Self Doubt and Intimidation, and siblings I Tried and Maybe Next Time.  She is preceded in death by her best friend, Nevermind.  I Cant’s family will remember her as being a constant downer, fighting to the end to bring her victims down and causing nothing but negativity in the lives of those she touched.  They could not be prouder of the life she lived.

There will be no services or visitation.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the “Infecting the mind of anyone who’s ever been too close to their goal” fund at your local watering hole.

**********

Yep.  I took her down.  So those of you out there (and it’s been made abundantly clear who you are) who don’t think I can do the medic thing?  Ya know what?  Kiss my yankee ass.

Sweetness and light has been thrown out the window at this point.  Those ‘woe is me’ moments?  I might still have them, but in the next 19 days I plan on destroying them as well.

Ya know what, “I Can’t” and family?

Screw you.

I might still shake, but I have this.  I got this.

And after I take care of my patient, your ass is mine.

    Awww brilliant! Massive congrats to you :D

    I’d say go out there and “knock ‘em dead” but that’s probably not a good idea in your line of work, so perhaps “Patch ‘em up” is more appropriate ;)

    Epi, you freaking ROCK.

    That attitude can be contagious.

    Love observing you turn all these corners.

    Keep it up.

    LUV, LUV, LUV the analogy.
    And the kick-ass attitude. You definitely got this.

    My favorite reply to “I can’t” is …

    “You are right you can’t do it. But if you could how would you do it.”
