Hello Hello. My name is Kristi and I'm here to blog my thoughts of what is going on. I have a huge passion for football, Nascar, and music so a majority of my blogs will be about those topics. I will also tie my life in here too.I'm a T1 paraplegic and have been paralyzed since March 7th, 2005. My paralysis was caused by the disease Lupus which I have had since I was 10. When I was 15 it relapsed and attacked my brain and spinal cord causing the virus Transverse Myelitis. Yeah, I bet you hear that one everyday. I'm 27 now and I have had many bumps in the road with my Lupus and paralysis, but am happy to report I have been in total remission since December of 2003. I live as a normal life as possible. I'm still me, just do things a little differently.
My favorite team is the Dallas Cowboys and I like to review their games, but since we are in the off season right now, I'll be writing about what is going on in spring training, etc. You might be calling me Coach Kristi because I can get pretty intense discussing my Boys. I really like to give MY opinion good or bad about how they play. I never miss a game and try to get to Dallas once a year for a live home game. This year I'm going to try and see them play the Patriots in the middle of October. I will also be headed up to Minnesota in August to see them play the Vikings for their last preseason game. I also play fantasy football. I've been playing for three years and it is very addicting. When it comes time I'll post the players I'm shooting to get. I won't just write about the Cowboys. I love ALL football so don't be surprised if I am praising or cursing out another team.
My other love is Nascar and my driver is Dale Earnhardt Jr. I don't know as much about Nascar as I do football, but I am learning. I am happy and sad that Dale Jr. left DEI. He obviously wasn't happy being there and I can tell a huge weight was lifted off his shoulders when he made the decision to leave - now I and the rest of the Nascar Nation wait to see what team he signs to. I'm not going to say who he is going to because it changes daily on who the front runner is. I do hope he stays with Budweiser - I just can't see him not driving that car and I just love the sea of red in the stands. It's bad enough we'll see him with a different number, but a new sponsor would be too many changes in my opinion. I'll support him in whatever decisions he makes.
Last, but not least I will talk about music. I have been to hundreds of concerts in my 27 years on this earth and plan on going to a lot more. I'll review and post pictures of the shows I go to. I've met quite a few bands and some I consider friends. One of my favorite things to do is take a drive in my truck on a sunny day with the windows down and my iPod coming through the speakers. It's very peaceful and relaxing.
So that's a bit a bout me. Feel free to leave comments or ask me questions.
