No, the worst thing about being Blind is the SIGHTED. I am blind, brain, and I KNOW. I do Cross Fit and everything in total black, becoming blind made me a better man. I laugh and enjoy life to the best

I have kind of an interesting question, since you were blind from birth you have never seen anything in the world. I just wonder how that alters how you form memories and "see" things in your mind. Its interesting because we look at things and associate them with other things so when we aren't actively looking at them we can "imagine" them. It would be interesting to know how he "imagines" things.

It's not that hard to imagine actually. Just close your eyes for 20 minutes and try to do some stuff, talk to your friend, take a shower, DO NOT open your eyes for entirety of that 20 minutes. And there you go, your own memory deprived of visual impressions.

Tommy is so inspirational! He always smiles and has a nice sense of humor, even though he's blind.
I love his laugh and how much he laughs at his own jokes. I also love the fact that his parents didn't miss out on the fact to name him Thomas Edison
His laugh gives me hope.
The constant injuries must be like when you constantly are hitting your little toe on the furniture. Honestly? This sounds like hell to me.

I love your videos. When I grew up I had a grandmother that was blind. it was around the time between 6 and 9 years old, and It took me a while to BELIEVE or comprehend if you will that she couldn't see. I loved her much and miss her. Your stories bring back so many great memories of her. She had a great sense of humor, like you do. She just played the cards she was dealt....but popped up that Joker whenever possible. Love you Tommy.
I love your sense of humor. As I watch your videos I can't help but to smile the entire time :)
