were you rolling when i ate concrete ?

so i had an interview with shaw tv and it went great they shot me skating alot and they had some really good questions like she asked me if i knew how unique my personality and attitude is and i was like uh nope its just me:) they got me skating with my cane down the sidewalk and i told them that my buddy usuallygets interviewed with me and they were like can you call him so he answered some questions and they also shot us walking down the sidewalk just chatting about whatever.
while skating for them i took a nasty fall while mid air i was jumping the bank of the pyramid and lostfooting and tried to get back on the board and tripped myself with my board and i landed a bit away from the ramp on my hip my shoulder my elbow and my knee and ankle but only walked away with some road rash and kept skating first thing i did was look at the camera man and he said in a thank god voice "we didnt get that dont worry " i was like oh my god are you serious tha twould have been epic if you got that lol then i did a handstand for the camera then the interviewer was like i cant watch then she did watch and was like can do that again i need a picture lol im like yeah sure i guess:P
then i also hung out with an old friend and met someone she has told about me :)

i went for a 3 mile walk today with a friend from my house in the country to town just for a slurpee and i think someone knew who i was because instead of waving they honked at me i think its funny when i am walking with people and they tell someone just waved at me like i cant see you :P it must really trip them out when i wave back

this weekend i went to notre dame and hung out with my cousin andmet some new friends. there was this guy that didnt believe that iwas blind when i told him and he overheard me using a pickup line the last social i was at when i said hey im blind want to make out lol and he thought it was just a sick pick up line and thought of using it :P then he met me on saturday and was just making fun and teasing me like one of the bros and then he actually realized that i am blind and he felt so bad for making fun like it had nothing to do with my vision and i told him its cool man it makes me feel like im normal and not getting special treatment. while at his house i had to go inside and change i went in alone and made my way upsstairs and into a room i had no idea what kind of room it was and i took alot of turns to get ito it and then on the way out i got lost in the house and went out the front door which is not the door i came in and started yelling MARCO and then i hear POLO from far bac so i made my way out and around to the backyard and someone got my shoes from the back door:P
then later that day a couple of the guys said who wants to go golfing and isad well yeah and 2 other guys went to the course i golfed all 9 holes and we played best ball and we actually used my ball a few times and i also got 2 putts in all they did was line me up and i would swing i also drove the golf cart the majority of the time i got it in the water onece and had to golf 6 holes with a wet foot:P and we were good the rest of the game and then we went to a social and a bunch of old friends i havent seen or talked to in a long time were thee

legos...

so this weekend i went down to notre dame and went to a social with my friend richie and it was an outside social so there were people everywhere and random picnic tables everywhere. with it being so packed i ran into alot of people i even bonked heads with some girls faces and some guys shoulders, but other than that richie helped me out awesomely.
richie is hilarious when it comes to my blindness because he knows i am good with jokes and love them, him an i were sitting in his basement and he was about to go for a shower but before he left he turned around and said "Wait don't move anywhere there are legos everywhere!!"i laughed for about twenty minutes.(if you dont get the joke it is because it is terrible to step on legos when you can see so you could imagine if you didnt see them coming and they were everywhere)
another time richie and i were at a party and some guys outside were talking to richie and said hey whos that douche bag with his sunglasses inside because i dont look blind and i dont use my cane in situations like that, then richie told them im blind so they felt really bad until they found out i love jokes and then they said we sould dress me up in some hot pink skinny jeans and a hot pink shirt and write on the shirt tell him he looks good and send him off to a party i thought that was hilarious.
and just so you know richie doesn't mean any of the jokes in a rude way they are all in good nature because i think they are funny too.

helping hand

so yestarday i went to a friends house and we watched and i listened to a movie i havent seen before and it had adam sandler in it but they said he looked different than he usually does so it was wierd not knowing what he looks like because i am used to him looking one way so i visualize him one way.
this morning i went to the school for a drama performance and all i did was help set up but it felt good because people were actually asking for my help and i actually could help.
