I genuinely just ...Someday I want to try curling. <br /><br />I genuinely just enjoy watching athletes reach their dreams. Also it's terrifying, which can also be fun.drandomtubashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18109569569941399018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939001316717781842.post-87340850355997302652012-07-25T14:18:35.595-04:002012-07-25T14:18:35.595-04:00I would love NASCAR if it was more like "Spee...I would love NASCAR if it was more like "Speed Racer" or "Mario Kart".
