- G’morning! Up and on my way to New York state. #
- OMG – I’m on an airplane with a pirate! He even has a peg leg. I must become friends with him. #
- Mad that the media keeps referring to the killings of Jennifer Hudson’s family a “domestic dispute.” Call it what it is – murder. #
- Chilly in Philly right now, waiting for connection to Syracuse. Brrr… #
- Snowing in Syracuse. Poor judgment on wearing flip flops today. #
- It’s so cold here, that I just broke down and bought my first pair of Uggs. I’m in love. #
- Getting fired up to speak at SUNY Oswego tonight. It’s an hour north of Syracuse, meaning it’s gonna get even colder for Weed… #

Hi all. I know many of you follow my bloggy as a way of keeping track of my crazy life on the road. But I gotta tell ya, the insanity has gotten pretty monumental with this being the busiest Fall I’ve ever had in 7 years of speaking. Sadly, blogging is a lower priority behind traveling, speaking, eating and sleeping…so I’m thinking I might revert to doing a weekly blog re-capping the week’s events. If you want the play-by-play, I’m posting updates from the road via my iPhone on Twitter. Click here to follow me. Or you can send me a Facebook friend request and my Twitter updates automatically load into my status bar. Thanks for joining me for this wild ride…

My Birthday
Filed Under Random | Leave a Comment
Today I’m the big 31, and couldn’t be happier. Everyone has been asking if I have big plans, and the answer is a resounding NO! I’m getting a mani/pedi and a haircut at Fantastic Sam’s…then dinner tonight with family downtown Denver. And you know what? It’s perfect. With my crazy life living on airplanes and flying to cool hotspots, sometimes the biggest treat is just being home with the ones I love.
Last year, on the other hand, was a different story. The morning of my Dirty 30 I was a guest on Fox News live via satellite from Denver. My parents flew in, and accompanied me to the shoot. Then we rushed home in time for a huge party at our house, which Pete threw for me. It was outrageous. Later in the night, someone got out the folding table in the garage and a flip cup tournament ensued. Then the keg was kicked, and someone had the idea to play flippy cup with champagne. Now this is what I would classify as a “bad idea.” Less than one hour later I was puking in the bathtub. My mom saw the whole thing. I’m sure she was very proud.
So you see, life doesn’t end at 30. It all gets better from here…

FAST Defense
Filed Under Random, Safety & Self-Defense | Leave a Comment
Yesterday I caught a flight from St. Louis back to Denver, only to grab my car and drive to a 3.5 hour FAST Defense class near Boulder. This class was taught by FAST Defense founder and my self-defense teacher, Bill Kipp. While I’ve done quite a bit of private training with him, I hadn’t yet taken his formal class with other students so this was exciting. My staff, Ashley & Camella, also joined me…both of their first full-contact self-defense experiences. Also joining us was GFB volunteers, Chris Lacis and Lisa Poole. See a photo of my team, as well as a bunch of new friends at left.
In just a few short hours, Bill and his incredible team took a class full of timid but brave souls and turned them into fighters. Together we learned to set boundaries with both friends and strangers, use our voice as an effective self-defense tool and fight back if necessary. Class ended with two, full-contact fights with padded attackers in bullet man suits. I got extra special attention in my last fight, by getting surprised by three attackers. Game on for multiple assailants!
FAST Defense courses are taking place all over the world, and I’m working with Bill to make sure even more people know about his exceptional program. His class proves you don’t need to be a black belt to save your life. You don’t need to enroll in years of training to defend yourself. One night will give you the confidence and basic skills to survive a scrappy confrontation, and will leave you wanting more. Learn more at http://www.fastdefense.com (new website coming soon…)
