Keep up with me on Twitter!

without comments

So I have found a new tech obsession.

Twitter.com.

Twitter is a website that lets you follow friends and family by reading their posts, or “twits,” online. I often times find myself adding updates throughout the day from my phone. The site is very cool and user-friendly; not to mention very addicting!

Here’s my twitter page so you can stay up to date with me and my adventures!

The 2008 USPSA National Tournament is a Hit!

Me playing against Sudden Impact on day one.

As I rolled my way through the double doors, I found myself surrounded by wheelchairs. More than 100 people in electric wheelchairs made their way around me as I stared in awe at what was before me.

 

Normally, when someone sees so many chairs in one place, you expect hospital beds, I.V. poles and ventilators to not be far behind.

But this was far from the case.

The Arizona Cardinals have their first home game of the ‘08 season this weekend. I’ll be there rooting them on in the North Endzone. Take down the Dolphins!

I hope Drew Rosenhaus is done putting bad mojo on Anquan Boldin.
