Just this past week, I provided fresh water for a few children in South America. I crossed the Golden Gate Bridge 5+ times. I traversed Zion Narrows in Utah and walked the Vegas strip.

Everybody Dance Video Game Review
Yeah, I like dancing video games. It’s ironic, since I can’t dance to save my life. I think it’s some leftover dream of being a performer. Anyway. Everybody Dance for the PlayStation 3 with Move gives you the chance to dance – and sing, if you’d like – to a variety of popular songs from…
