My 40 Seconds of Fame
I just realized this is the first ever post on my site with a video of myself included. Exciting times. This post doesn’t hold much value except some entertainment.
I recently wrote on some reasons you should juggle and thought I would upload a quick video of 3-ball juggling.
Enjoy.

6 Reasons why you should learn to juggle
I learned the basics of 3-ball juggling when I was about 13. I’m pretty sure my grandmother signed out an old VHS on learning how to juggle from the local library in hopes to keep my brothers and I occupied. Well it worked. I’m fairly certain any one of us could pick up and juggle [...]

I thought I would start with one of their free themes to become familiar with how they [...]
I’m Back! And ready to rumble.
I looked at my last post date and was quite disappointed in myself. Two months to the day.
In my defense, I had an intensely hectic and busy summer. I’ve relocated to South West Ontario (London to be exact) and am slowly deciding on and preparing for, well, “the real world” – if you will.
