Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

I needed some sort of a comeback
after the NYC fiasco, so the main focus was

and that's what I got, splitting 1:34/1:34
