I feel as if over these past few months, I've transformed into a new person. Maybe in many ways I have.
It would have been cool to have turned into one of those trolls from the early 90's. Or maybe Storm from X-Men. But alas, I am left, it seems, with a newer, lighter version of myself.
I have a new name.
A new way of being.
A new business.
A new YouTube show.

Shit, I'm even dating on Tinder (wtf?!).

Panama City, Panama 2015
