It’s time for my 2nd rumble! I’m feeling good today, strong, bendy. After a relatively easy win against an alligator, I’m on to bigger and better things. Much bigger.

The Greatness of Terry Fox
The other day in my gym class, I became frustrated with some of the whiny students. I have a simple ask upon their arrival- five laps of the extremely small gym, stretch, sit. It’s the laps that they complain about. I decided to turn this into a math lesson. Who did I use to prove my point? Terry Fox, of course!
I essentially had them all sit down and watch me perform the laps. Then, I tracked the distance on my watch. After that, I compared that to what Terry Fox was doing, on one good leg, through bad weather, on rough terrain, with cancer in his body! The point was this- stop complaining. The bigger message was this- Terry Fox was incredible. Allow me to explain.

The Creation of Pongo Hats!
Welcome to Pongo Hats! I thought I’d share my origin story.
I’ve been a hat enthusiast my whole life. Here’s my first ever hat, in fact:
Every mall I’ve entered includes me looking for Lids. There’s never a hat ad on social media that I don’t slow down for. While this isn’t all of them, here’s a good chunk of my hat collection:
So, what do you get when you mix a hat obsession with a love of creativity? A brand new hat company!

Rumble 1: Let the Rumbles Begin!
This blog series is pretty simple: Could I beat any given animal in a fight?
No, this is not a fight to the death. Think of it more like those fight videos you scroll passed on social media. Every now and then you’ll watch one a little closer, and probably declare a winner in your head. I’m not needing to kill these animals to be declared the victor. In fact, I would not want to kill (most of) these animals. It’s a simple man vs. beast battle where I need the judges to score it my way. I almost called this series Man Vs. Beast but when I looked it up I found a tv show in the early 2000s with that name. I couldn’t very well have people thinking they were getting episodes of that show, only to arrive here instead! Rumble Against the Jungle it is!
