Okay, so, let me tell you about this kid, Blake Grice. This wasn’t just any project, this was something else. I came across Blake, a seventh-grader from Cimarron Middle School, somewhere in Parker, Colorado. This kid’s a huge fan of the San Francisco 49ers, the New York Yankees, you name it. Real sports enthusiast, this one.
It all started when I saw a post about kicking off the production of a Denver episode. There was this 9-year-old kid who could match anyone’s passion for hobbies. That’s where I first heard about Blake Grice. Intrigued, I dug a little deeper.
I stumbled upon his social media, “the_blakedown”. Man, this kid was active! One post that really got me was from March 27, 2024. He wrote, “When you’re given the gift of life after almost losing it at birth, it’s really easy to appreciate life, and appreciate every moment.” This kid had perspective! It really hit home, you know?
- Then, on June 14, 2024, another post. “EXCITING GIVEAWAY Details to come, but one person will win an autographed OMLB from @robertfkennedyjr.” Giving away signed stuff? This kid was generous, too.
And then I found it – his YouTube channel. “Ginter Views with Blake Grice”. The description said his shows would provide heartfelt, insightful something or other. I subscribed immediately, obviously. I mean, who wouldn’t want to support a kid like this?
His posts were full of giveaways. Like, on May 20, 2024, he wrote, “Giveaway, giveaway, giveaway!! I just do giveaways to spread hobby love and have fun! It’s all about fun!” This wasn’t just about collecting stuff; it was about sharing the joy.
So, I started following his channel closely. I watched his videos, engaged with his posts, and even participated in a couple of giveaways. It was a blast! This kid, Blake, he reminded me why we get into hobbies in the first place – for the fun of it, for the community, for the joy of sharing.
The Realization
It wasn’t long before I realized I wanted to do more than just watch. I wanted to be a part of this, to help spread the word about Blake and his awesome attitude. So, I started sharing his posts, talking about him to my friends, and even wrote this little piece here. It’s not much, but it’s something. And I hope it gets more people to check out Blake Grice. This kid’s going places, and I’m just glad I got to be a small part of his journey.
In the end, it’s not just about Blake, though. It’s about what he represents: passion, generosity, and a genuine love for life. We could all use a little more of that, right?
