I wish I was one of Kenna's friends...

When I started seeing these HP ads last year,

I thought to myself, "how cool, some hipsters are gonna take an awesome trip to Africa and document it all while being sponsored by a computer co...AWESOME. They'll probably get cool gadgets to document it too." Yeah it says it in the ad but who really pays attention to commercials?

Then I found out what it was really about.

Kenna "and friends" decided to raise awareness for the GLOBAL WATER CRISIS by climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and documenting the feat. THIS is beyond awesome, it's an act of a global citizen. Taking yourself out of your bubble, comfort zone and not only pushing yourself to the limit but also forcing yourself to treasure a FREE COMMODITY we routinely take for granted.

I often bring up the joke Chris Rock once told about how we are the only spoiled ass nation that wastes money on things like bottled water.....it's free. Think about it....Check it...

I'm blunt...and rather observant...DUH that means I should blog! I suffer from, no let me rephrase, I combat living with an AVM on a daily basis. An AVM is an Abnormal Veinous Malformation which affects about 250,000 people in the US (http://www.cumc.columbia.edu/dept/cerebro/AVM.htm#Link8). It affects everyone differently, for me it's caused a constant headache since 2003...litterally. I've been in countless doctors offices, been poked and proded, been through the emotions of being misdiagnosed with a brain tumor. Needless to say, I've been through a lot and not just because of my...let's call it an ailment. Above all I've developed a less than common outlook on life and perception of things.Don't for one minute misconstrue, I'm in no way a victim, I'm self-sufficient almost to a fault and encourage others to turn their weaknesses into empowerment. It builds character and makes for one hell of a screenplay ha! That combined with growing up immersed in a semi-charmed world, and the glitz and glamour of Hollyweird leads to some interesting anecdotes...Here are my thoughts...

There are many other Headcases in the world...here are a few..
