What is Ankylosing Spondylitis?
You may be wondering what in the world is Ankylosing Spondylitis?
Well you aren't alone. Unfortunately it doesn't get the awareness that it deserves. Here are some links and a video to help you understand more.

Who are you?
Hello!
My name is Jesse Jayne. I am 24 years old and I have Ankylosing Spondylitis. I am married to my beautiful wife, Gabby, and we have three fur babies; Pedro and Dinah, the cats, and Nala, my service dog. We live in the midwest where most people don't share our views, but our friends more than make up for haters. I am currently going to school online to get my BS in Mathematics. I love music. I couldn't live without it. Books and audiobooks are my escape from reality. There is nothing quite like entering the world created in the pages of a good book. Quotes are also a passion of mine. I am married to the love of my life even though the state I live in doesn't recognize it, we do. Black and white cats are my weakness. My friends call me a hippie. I only wish I was that cool. I am one of the most liberal people you will ever meet. I am pro-gay rights, pro-choice, pro-physician-assisted suicide, pro-gun control, pro-stem cell research, pro-universal health care, pro-immigration/amnesty, the separation of church and state, and several other crazy leftist ideas. I am a Pisces, so compassion and sensitivity are my middle names. I love dragonflies, naps, and peach tea. I am a part time nudist aspiring to be full time. My ideal world no one would wear clothes unless it was super cold. I'm also a big nerd, I love to play RPGs and MMOs. I love meditation and use it almost daily. I believe with intense focused thought almost anything is possible. To my fur babies my wife is "Mamma G" and I am "Mamma J". My hero is John Lennon and I look up to him for many aspects of my life. I have lyrics from his song Imagine tattooed on the inside of my arm and I think it not only provides inspiration but sums up my attitude on life. "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us and the world will live as one." I am an Agnostic Theist. The theism part means that I believe that there is at least one deity or some form of a higher power and the agnostic part means that I believe we aren't meant to know what he/she/it is.
Well that is a basic run down of me. I will go into more detail on certain topics in future posts. Thanks for joining me on this new journey of mine.
