Today is my 38th birthday and I decided earlier this week to start a new campaign on my life I call "Just fucking do it." The meaning of this campaign dates back to 2000 when I was moving from my old town of Seneca Wisconsin to Viroqua Wisconsin and starting my sophomore year of high school. I had always had issues with my temper and a short fuse growing up. I remember one time in like 3rd grade I glanced across the school's playground and noticed a girl looking in my direction and I didn't like it, so I went up to her and kneed her in the crotch. Why? I don't know, but that's a defining moment to explain how bad my temper and anger was as a child. But when I moved, I had this chance to…from ambitiousfounder.com
