age, the great equalizer

growing up, i didn't feel a strong connection to many other females, outside of those in my family.  we can be a little pessimistic, a lot sarcastic, crude, loud... girls just weren't super drawn to me.  but as i've gotten older, i've found that my life, my thoughts, my experiences, are pretty relatable.  a woman might read this post and laugh, a man, criiiiinge.

Do you see what I crafted with my own two hands using nothing but and iPad and unlimited artistic gifts???!!!

PS Mom asked me what code word she could use to text me in case she really needed me to call her. I said, just call me, and if I don't want to talk to you, I just won't pick up. And, she said, well what if I fall down and there's no one here to help me? I said, call 911!!!!!

Come back from Arizona soon!!!

a journey through my physical feats on film

these are all the videos colin's put together for me, some of my particularly proud moments.  i started up a youtube channel to post some of the not-so-special moments, things i can learn from during my training, but figured i'd beef the thing up with some of these fun ones from the past.
