In May of 2024, I fulfilled my lifelong goal of breaking a Guinness World Record. Using the skills my dad taught me at the age of 5 from the lawn of Grateful Dead cover-bands, I successfully spun a pair of devil sticks 128 times in a minute with the help of my friends that came to support me. The irony of the title is that the record itself is nothing but a sheet of paper, inherently unless, but the memory of my being with my dad, practicing with my friends, and doing something I love, is more than anything the title could hold.
