An experience that made you who you are today. There are a lot of experiences that made me who I am today. Losing both my mom and dad, a brother, a sister, a nephew… since I don’t really want to post pictures of them today, I’ll show you a picture of me in drum corps. That was definitely an experience that made me who I am today! 
This is a picture of me and my teacher, Jason Kuyper. He managed to be my teacher when I first started drum corps in Pioneer Drum and Bugle Corps out of Milwaukee, WI and then 4 years later was my teacher in Southwind Drum and Bugle Corps out of Lexington, KY. I spent two years with Pioneer, 1996 & 1997. I took part of the tour off in 97 when my mom got very ill but I joined back up with the corps when she did a turnaround. I took 1998 off of corps and then I was a “rook-out” in Southwind in 1999. A rook-out means that I was a rookie-my first year with that corps during my age-out year- the last year you are allowed to march drum corps. That is the year you turn 21. It was an interesting experience! I rode in buses across the United States, sleeping in school gymnasiums, showering in school showers (YUCK), and playing a show almost every night.
Here is my 1999 show, part 1 and part 2

I will always love Friends. Whenever I’m feeling down I can throw on an episode or two of Friends and just laugh out loud.
Alias was awesome. I actually only caught a few episodes while it was on tv. I watched them all on Netflix.
This is the only thing I currently watch and by currently I mean I caught it this week and hope to catch it going forward.
