My whole life I’ve been anti getting tattoos. I have nothing against other people who want to get tattoos, but as far as myself getting a tattoo? That was a big no-no. The rising tattoo popularity is what put me off. It was something everyone was getting to …
I’ve been doing stand up comedy for the last two years and have been compiling footage from most of my sets. Who knew how hard it was to actually get good footage! Sometimes your jokes might not land, or they land and the …
Your shoulder works very similarly to the hip joint. It is a large ball and socket joint that rotates with a range of motion that is greater than any other joint in your body.
