Zach Anner hits the nail on the head
Nice job, Zach!
I was scrolling through my Facebook news feed today and I came across this awesome video by comedian Zach Anner.
In the video, he eloquently talks about 10 things people should know about Cerebral Palsy. While I do not have CP, this video certainly resonated with my life as a person in a wheelchair.
From constantly being asked if I know other, random people in wheelchairs, to being talked to like a 5-year-old, his tips definitely ring true in my life.
Nice job, Zach!

Back in the Day... Part 2
Here is another clip from the Trujillo family home movie vault. This clip was taken at my grandmother's house. The baby in the clip is my cousin, Taylor. The video was filmed all the way back in 1994, way back in the day.

Nike Ad Shows Strong Perspective for People in Wheelchairs
The new "No Excuses" ad from Nike brings a refreshing perspective to people with disabilities. Featuring UW-Whitewater Wheelchair Basketball Player Matt Scott, the ad shows Scott from the chest-down, moving around the basketball court. Scott is reciting various excuses as he rolls around the court until he stops and says "yeah, and my feet hurt" as he rolls away. It is a very poignant clip with a great message. Check it out.
Zach Anner is My New Hero!
I saw Zach Anner's interview on Attack of the Show and he is awesome! Anner submitted a video to Oprah's My Own Show competition and already has more than 9 million votes! He has Cerebral Palsy, which he believes is the sexiest of the palsys, but his sense of humor and great personality have made him an internet sensation. I highly recommend checking out his videos. They're excellent!

Heaven is Easier to get into than Arizona State!
As President Obama prepares to give his commencement speech at ASU, The Daily Show came down to Tempe to figure out why Obama won't receive an Honorary Degree. Classic! I have never been more proud to be an ASU Alumni (Please note my not so subtle sarcasm). Go Devils!
