- Well after
THAT fuckin' game I'm certainly ready to put the
year to rest. Ya can't score a POINT? Oh well. We beat
Xichigan so who cares. ;-)
-
- This is a very
strange entry to write because it's nearly impossible
to not look ahead (which is reserved for the NEXT
entry). I don't really want to look back on 2016. It
was a pretty awful year for the world even if it was
pretty normal for me. Some good, some bad but mostly?
Really wonderful as has been the pattern since 2011.
Lemme link to the year-ender...
-
-
- Ya know,
I kinda did it. Looked back without really
talking about what a massive
"HOLY FUCK WHAT HAPPENS NOW!?!?"
looming over the video. The script to the video is
kinda perfect for the entry:

- In 2016 I was
finally able to focus on career stuff and my goals
were clear - sell a TV show and lose
- 50 pounds.
Remarkably? Everything was pretty easy. I waited until
a good chunk of the weight was off to make a sizzle
reel and good thing because the MOMENT I released that
I had multiple offers for development deals and was
off to the races. I eventually signed with Collins
Avenue, the company behind Dance Moms and "The
Journey" was filled with locked entries and cryptic
songs just like old times since everything was taken
out of my hands. All I could do was wait... which with
a wonderful wife and kids was pretty fun.
-
- Then Geeking Out
contacted me to be on their show and I rushed to build
the Die Hard GolfKon hole in time only to have them
delay the shoot. It was right about that time I had a
familiar feeling. Enter: long video entry about
everything in The Journey blowing up.
-
- ...and Geeking Out
did indeed get pushed to Season 2 if there even is one
and Chasing Heroes is still in limbo. But as I said it
barely registered. Don and I had season tickets to the
Rams, I got to meet
- Charles Barkley
and is that fucking NORM at the GolfKon
Bar?!?!
-
- Yes. It
is.
-
- ...and yeah, we
turned a corner as a country by telling the world we
no longer take government seriously and time will tell
how that works. Cam spent 6 days in the hospital due
to breathing issues, but is doing better... so there's
always balance - but when you wake up every morning in
my life? You just can't bitch about much. And as long
as we don't all die in a nuclear holocaust, 2017
should be more of the same. But it shouldn't go
without saying: the words "nuclear" and "holocaust"
don't feel like science fiction right now. May future
generations never forget that that's true as this year
ends. Unfortunately 2016 proved that only lasts about
70 years before enough people forget it.
-
- Oh well. I won't
be alive in 70 years. Sorry kids. Good luck with
that.
-
- ***
-
- That's about as
good as I can possible do without focusing on the
future which is honestly all I can think about this
final day of 2016. Good and bad, but not one ounce of
me is in a "reflective" mode.
So good fucking riddance to this year and onto the
next entry...
