when i was in first grade my parents gave me a pair of rollerskates for my birthday. as the story goes i feel in love with those skates. the minute i woke-up i put them on. i would brush my teeth in them, make my bed in them, and eat my lunch in them. they made me happy...really happy.

every time my parents tell this story, my siblings laugh SO hard. To them what is funny is not just my past obsession with rollerskates, but that i essentially haven't changed from when i was seven.

i still go through my times of pure and wholesome obsession. from longboarding to writing music...i take on new hobbies and do not put them down tell i'm good at whatever it is. last year when i bought my longboard i had no idea how to ride...but i worked on it and i worked on it. today i can ride home on 5th avenue between cars with no problem.

which all leads to my new obsession: Orlando, Florida. seriously. ever since Kyle and i decided to apply for 67 Days of Smiles i have become addicted to the possibility. i am watching ever video on Orlando that youtube, Orlando tourism sites, and the travel channel have to offer. and i am inhaling tons of facts...for instance the first amusement park was created in Orlando because there is a river that bubbles 98.5 percent pure. so they made the first glass bottom boat for people to take a ride on the river and see all the wildlife. too much information??? maybe for you...not for me, i only want more information! eeeeee!

ok, i am distracted. and i got very little sleep last night due to this new found obsession. oh man...ORLANDO i think i have a crush on you!
