So I had some epic ideas for a Halloween video but in light of recent weather conditions it would be impossible. Please stay tuned and I hope everyone out there is staying smart an safe. I know my family are definitely seeing the wrath of Sandy.
Until Next Time,

October: The Best Month Ever
Aside from this being my favorite month of the year, there are actual reasons else wise I would consider this month kick-ass.
The first being the fact that I am going to visit the muchly talked about Texas Renaissance Festival. Not only will I be able to experience one of the largest (if not the largest) ren fest in the nation, but I will also get the opportunity to meet the iconic Adam "Crack" Winrich. Needless to say, I am very stoked.
Another fun thing about this month is is I get to use it as an excuse to explore costuming and how it effects whip cracking performance. Yay dress up! If you haven't guessed by now, yes. There will be videos of me in several costumes coming up shortly.
In the meantime, bare with me as I am moving over 1,000 miles away within the next month and starting in on my Masters Degree.
1 more hour of whip practice logged.

10,000 or Bust
They say in order to be a true "Master" at anything, you need to spend 10,000 hours doing it.
While I never anticipate traveling the world and living off of my whip cracking skills, the idea of being able to physically count down the amount of hours until you're a "Master" intrigues me.
Granted, it's not a perfect equation. I mean, you could practice and practice and practice anything and be doing it wrong (and therefore never get any better). But, like I said, there is something fun ad amusing about counting it out.
So I "guesstimate" that I have spent somewhere along the lines of 300 hours cracking my whip. (I get this number from the fact that I have been whip cracking for 2-3 years now and on average practiced about 2-3 hours every week give or take)
So the count starts now:
300/10,000
