For Two Random Years I Lived In South Dakota

I was young, clueless but had a pogostick to keep me busy. Our subdivision backed up to a farm. It smelled like manure all the time and the farmer was alway drunk riding around shooting his gun. Oh and there was a lot of corn.

I Just Ran the Chicago Marathon!

So it wasn't easy by any means. If you want to witness utter agony watch "Dancing with the Stars". If you want to feel utter agony run a marathon. Kind of felt like a group of thugs beating my legs with baseball bats the next day. But glad I did it!

I Love Focus Groups

I admit it... I'm a serial focus group participant. Although technically due to my profession I shouldn't be participating in focus groups. However, when I get into them I love voicing my opinion. I also learn tons from what others say about brands which just facisnates me.
