Corrin + Traffic cone = No bueno

Well my dears, I had a small accident last weekend with a traffic cone. If you look closely, you can see that there's a circle. Somehow my right thigh became perpendicular with the top of the traffic cone I was hurdling. I landed quite successfully on my left hip and side causing Nic to think I knocked all my teeth out. Teeth are intact; right thigh and left hip are a bit sore.

Not to fret my pets, this small wound did not deter me from continuing my training. I've worked out every single day this week. I reached an awesome milestone of 10,000 calories burned on the Wii Active!! Woot woot!! Anybody looking for a workout that has some serious results, try the Wii Active. It's super fun. I'm still recommending the Wii Fit (comes with the balance board) as a way to shape it up. Right now I'm still exploring all of the activities. I use many of Wii Fit for core tightening exercises.

Also, there has been a request for another picture to be included in this blog. It was described as "classic and twisted." Enjoy.

The Application has been submitted!!

I did it! I submitted my application for WIPEOUT! It was roughly 30 questions. I noted that the weirdest thing about me is that i carry a gnome named Gnigel practically every where I go. If I make it to the audition, I don't think G will be making it on the course with me for the following reasons:

- He's ceramic and would probably break.
- He's ceramic and I would have to attach him to some portion of my body. When I fall (not if people, I'm going down faster than the Titanic), I would break Gnigel and most likely break whatever bone nearest to where he is attached.
- He's been accused of being a weapon in the past (Summer of 2009: Def Leppard, Poison and Cheap Trick Concert - wanna know the story? Just ask). I'm sure the producers of WIPEOUT! would see him and think "Wow, that little ceramic gnome could really hurt someone if he went flying off one of our big red balls."

The following are the pictures that I submitted with my application:

One of the questions on the application asked what my most embarrassing moment was. Back in 2004, my best friend and I were nailed by a semi-truck that ran a red light. After checking to see if Nic was ok, I got out of the car to check to see if anything was bleeding or broken. I bent over only to feel a strong breeze come through the back of my pants. Alas, I partially mooned an entire intersection. Stupid Gap khakis. That's all I have for now. Sunshine and rainbows, c. 

Getting Started

Hey kids! Welcome to my new and exciting journey into the wonderful world of big red balls, the Motivator, a wall of boxing gloves and many more spectacular obstacles. No, I'm not talking about a trip to the Mall of America the day after Thanksgiving. I'm talkin' about ABC's WIPEOUT! WHOO HOOO!

I'm going to document my progress right here on the interwebs.

Keep checking for the fun. With the help of my wonderful friends, I'm going to be hosting a "Help Corrin get to Cali for WIPEOUT!" Pub Crawl in Forest Park. I'll be taking suggestions for outfits to properly representing me (ex: MN, gnomes, sunshine, rainbows...)

THANKS FOR READING KIDS!!!!
