Airing It Out – King YABO’s First Blog
Pounding headache, severe dehydration, and contact lenses that were plastered to my eyeballs. What a way to start to start the morning. It’s fitting, really, with what I’m about to share on my sports fandom. Yes, I was blessed with a great childhood and that has continued into adulthood, but what you’re about to read… Read more
