Jump and Throw

This hilarious experience came a couple months ago before we were all in quarantine. I was back in Colorado for the last couple days of Spring Break, and we had a get together at one of my high school friend's house. There was quite a few of us because a lot of the guys were also back for the last few days of break. Anyway, one of my friends (we call him Q) had a little too much beer to drink and was feeling a little nauseous. By nauseous, I mean Q was laying on his stomach on my friends trampoline with his head over the side. He hadn't thrown up yet, but he was making some strange groaning sounds. One of my other friends (we call him Biz) was completely oblivious of the situation and didn't know how Q was feeling, so he started jumping on the trampoline. Q was getting tossed around from the jumping, and the gyration was all Q's body needed to start throwing up. He started throwing up off the side of the trampoline while my friends and I tackled Biz and made him stop jumping. This sent us all laughing hysterically at Q's expense. We had never seen someone throw up in mid air.

However, that's not where the story ends. Q finally finished throwing up and stands up on the trampoline. He was dizzy, confused, definitely not sober, and looked like he didn't even know where he was. He was walking to get off the trampoline when Biz gets back on the trampoline and starts jumping again. Biz double jumped right at Q's feet which sent him flying off the trampoline and into a tree. The trampoline is surrounded by trees on the side Q fell off, so he got stuck about half way up in a tree. He had throw up all over himself and was now tangled in a tree. Again, it was incredibly hilarious to us, not so much for Q.

Amidst our laughter, we were able to climb the tree and help Q down. He ended up being okay and was even able to laugh at the situation a little bit. This was one of the funniest occurrences I have ever been apart of, and to my knowledge, Q has not jumped on a trampoline since the incident.

Training is key

This is another blog about a learning experience I had on my bike ride last summer. The bike ride is demanding and tough on the human body given that you ride on average 75 miles a day. That average is a little misleading considering some days you ride up to 125 miles a day with over 10,000 feet of elevation gain. The ride started on June 1st, but the sign up date was at least 6 months earlier. Some guys even signed up a year in advance. That being said, we all had 6 months to a year to train for this demanding task. The Ability Experience even hired professional trainers to help us get ready for the journey. They set up different exercises for us to do and held webinars every Sunday. These exercises varied from riding 15 miles on an indoor bike to doing 3 sets of 15 squats on a squat rack. We even had to track our workouts through an app. We would have to go on the app start our workout, record our heart rate, calories burned, then stop the workout when we were finished. If we didn...

The Power of Volunteering Your Time

I have learned so much about the importance and power of volunteering your time. In high school, I was a part of a couple community service clubs, but I never really put a ton of time into any of the community service events. My freshman year at TCU, I volunteered every week at Kinderfrogs on campus, and I had a blast working with kids with disabilities. I also joined the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity which is when I found out about the Journey of Hope (JOH). JOH is a 64 day bike ride across the country which raises money and awareness for people with disabilities. I thought it was a perfect undertaking after volunteering at Kinderfrogs, so I signed up. I ended up raising over $7,000 through emailing my friends and family to participate in the event. My network of people made the journey across the United States possible, and I am extremely grateful for everyone that made it possible.  During the Journey, I cycled over 4,000 miles from San Francisco to Washington D.C.. We averaged abo...

Don't be friends with Chiefs fans

Recently, I learned that I am friends with way too many Chiefs fans. The Chiefs mighty be a great team that just won the Super Bowl, but as I like to remind my friends, it has not always been this way. During the 2000's, the Chiefs could not even make a playoff spot or even hold a winning record. This all changed two years ago when the Chiefs starting quarterback, Alex Smith, was traded to the Redskins. The trade allowed Patrick Mahomes to step in and take the starting spot. The city of Kansas City and Chiefs fans around the world think that Mahomes is the chosen one. As great as he is, Mahomes is a big reason why KC fans have been getting on my nerves recently. For example, Mahomes makes some spectacular plays, but Chiefs fans don't shut up about these plays for a good week. I'm a Packers fan, and we obviously have a great quarterback named Aaron Rodgers. Is he the greatest of all time? Probably, but that's beside the point. I can admit that Mahomes is a great player, ...
