That other time I made a TV show...

Hey Nerds!

So it seems a few of you liked me posting the comic book thing.  It was a really cool experience seeing my project go from concept to comic, at the time there weren't nearly as many publishers as there are now and the ones that I wanted to work with wouldn't return my calls and the ones I should have been working with didn't want to do comic books about superheroes, which is cool but in hindsight a little frustrating.  I sort of attacked the goal backwards, I should've gone to a publisher first, gotten in with them slightly, then made the book with them in mind and gone from there, but hey 25 year old me couldn't be told anything, he was a wrecking ball in all the most eager of ways.  Anyways about a year and a half ago I made a pilot for a television show, things were going great at Nerd Thug and we were developing a partnership with an unnamed local station and they basically told me I could give them anything I wanted and they would air it free of charge, so I shot a pilot with the intention of getting sponsors to pay the people involved for their hard work and time and then shooting a season and then going from there.  I honestly don't ever remember taking a meeting with any sponsors and don't think much happened past the pilot getting made, because by the time it was all said and done that moment had kind of passed.  I enjoyed it and shout out to everyone involved they were so generous with their time and talent and I truly appreciate it.  Anyway here's the link...

Some fun things!

Hey Nerds!

So I got a funny email yesterday congratulating me on my six month anniversary with the Universal Life Church Ministries and it reminded me, I am indeed, a Reverend.  The short version is I got ordained online to wed two of my close friends at their crazed request, and the shorter version is, I'm ordained and you're probably not.

Another cool thing is about ten years ago I wanted to be a comic creator, I still do, but I realized I don't have the funds to keep working on stuff and keep doing it totally on my own (i was waiting tables at the time and trust me, I'm not a good waiter).  Check out this book I did make, it's a one shot and I still think it's funny.

Another Day At The Office

Also this week I had another article ran on Sports Map Houston, I'm loving writing these weekly wrestling round ups and I hope to kind of grow my writing career this year even more.  Anyway, check it out!

The Wrestling Report.

Thanks for checking in!

Super Monday?

Hey Nerds!!

So Friday afternoon we here at Nerd Thug Radio made a big announcement.  We are now Nerd Thug Radio, Nerd Thug Sports and Nerd Thug Wrestles!  Monday is pop culture, Thursday is Sports, and Friday is Wrestling!  We're pumped, the podcasts will keep coming up, the show is going great and we look forward to more great times ahead...

Episode 200!!!

Good times!

Hey Nerds!

So yesterday was my Dad's bday, first one he missed, and in the spirit of all the good times and laughs we had together, check out this clip from a great Canadian comedy called "Mr. D"!

The journey continues!

Hey Nerds!

Check out who had another article published, that's right, this guy!

Check this out!

It's important to celebrate the accomplishments because I can assure you, they are few and far between.

WHAT AM I READING?

This one is weird, it's called Monstress.  The art is amazing, the story is a little crazy and hard to follow in the beginning but the art is so gorgeous that honestly, you stay in longer than you would.  It all works itself out and by the end of the first volume, it's leaves everything in an intriguing place.  Worth the trippy read.

Grinding.

Hey Nerds!

So like everyone else there are definitely days where I do not want to get out of bed and get the things done that I need to.  Just remember this, everyday you work on your goals gets you one day closer to nailing them!  Just keep grinding it out.

WHAT AM I WATCHING?

So this pains me greatly to do, but this week's recommendation is Young Justice: Outsiders.  The third season of the reincarnated animated series is at it's mid-season break and it's great.  Right now the only place you can find it unfortunately is on the DC Universe app/website which comes with a price tag of $8.99 a month and so far has two new shows on it but it has added the last two DC animated movies on their national release date.  I'm still not sure if you're getting a value from this app, but at the very least this show is great.

Mondays, the most important brick!

Hey Nerds,

So I say this on the show regularly, Monday is the most important day of the week, because with it, you get to build your whole week.  This is where successes and failures happen.  To help illustrate that point, watch this entire Lego city get built, one brick at a time, and remember, setting yourself up for success is how you succeed.

One brick at a time baby!
