  • Desert Island Five: Dang these questions are hard…the question didn’t say that you were stranded so … probably a mountain bike, some chapstick, a jacket, chain lube and a GPS enabled verizon cell-phone just in case I am actually stranded (it also comes with “the network” so technically that would be people but it’s kind of a loop hole).

  • Middle name meme:
    Kung Fu is fun to watch
    Orngina should not be mispronounced
    Cats roam my neighborhood, sometimes they fight, I hate them
