In the spirit of “Coming Out of My Shell,” I’m posting this rare video of me, telling you about an embarassing moment. And when is this embarassing moment, you might ask? It’s from JUNIOR HIGH.

You Ain’t Got No Alibi
Why on earth did God decide to put two starkly contrasting things together like cheerleaders and the cheers that they cheer?
