Ep.12: Amber Pitch SlapHowdy, Ya'll! đ€ âđ Today, I'm trying hard to be whoever I am supposed to be but it has been rough since a spoke broke on my rear wheel. Who am I if I can't ride my mountain bike? That's right, my faithful steed, Chickensaurus-Rex broke my heart yesterday. Or it was that diabolical bike shop in Fort Worth that installed an inferior part. Who's to know? What I am now -- is grounded. Nothing more than a feeble, ground-pounding peasant. LOL! Just kidding.

Ep.08: Big Toothy GrinHowdy, Ya'll! đ€ â Today, I'm reminded of what Marcus Aurelius said about dwelling on problems: "Your days are numbered, and if you don't clear the clouds from your mind now you may never have another chance." What does that mean? You cannot dwell on failures and be dissatisfied with today because you may not have a tomorrow. You have to live your life as if every moment were your last. In other words, be thankful for today because tomorrow is not guaranteed. So if you woke up on this side of the d...

They're so good at changing their voice that you probably didn't even know the voice of two different characters was the same person.I started thinking if I could make myself sound like different people.
