Good news on two fronts: 1. I’ve won the coveted title of worst blogger ever. Unfortunately I’m planning on losing the title by upping my posting schedule by 3,567% starting in a few weeks. (Which would have me posting once a month.) That might cut me out of the running for the title next year. No worries. 2. My fourth …

A Dream That Came Alive
I’ve wanted a dirt bike since I was five. Okay, maybe not five—it was more like three. Growing up, I knew it wouldn’t ever happen. No way. Not while I lived with my parents.
