Welcome to my blog. I am determined to make it to Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Competition this year '06, and I hope to share some thoughts along the way. Anyway, my goal is not to gather a whole bunch of fans, really I just want to share some pictures and stories about my adventures in competitive eating and life. I know this has already been done by Crazy Legs Conti and other competitive eaters, I mean Crazy has already made a movie about his quest!
