If you had to lose one of your 5 senses, which one would you prefer to lose and why?
This is a tough one...I would have to say taste. Even though I love food (especially cake) it would make my preps for shows a lot easier! I love my music, in my daily life, and have to have it in the gym.
If you could change one thing about this sport what would it be?
This is a sport that takes dedication, sacrifice, discipline and strength. This sport challenges the mind as well as the body and pushes it to the ultimate limits. I wouldn't change one thing about this sport, if it were easy, everyone would do it.
If you had a time capsule what would you put inside it and why?
I would put a protein shaker in it so that they can see what we used back in our day for our shakes.
I would put in an iPhone so that they can see what our phones were like.

So far, Huntington Beach, CA, but I have not been to very many places (yet)
