Hi everyone, To celebrate my two years my good friend Totalartist has put together a little video of the fun from MA States.  I would not have made it this long without the friends I have made along the way.  James, Nick, Andre`, Jrod, Sara, Adam the A2Z Crew and everyone at YYE.  Thank you all for the fun times and all the memories!!!

> [@mgiroux77](#): > > No not at all.  Im here to stay!! Better be!!  Congratulations mgiroux77, quite an accomplishment you’ve made.  I’m proud of you, I was there live, and I was probably screaming the loudest when the winner was announced.  ;D  Oh, and might I add…what a nice purple and green leather holder you are wearing in the video…wow.

Oh, and he had a power breakfast to fuel him up for the win…it was bacon, eggs, toast and coffee. Yup. So all you kids before a freestyle, get you some of that and you can’t lose. ---
