The thing about January 1st falling on a Monday? No excuses on that diet, dawg... if you have any semblance of OCD you're starting that shit today. New Year's Day lands on a Sunday? FUCK THAT. You're eating a cow. Hell if it falls anywhere from Thursday to Sunday you're rationalizing the shit out of that until the following Monday. But nope, this year you start it off right.
 
So my focus presently is knocking off some weight before the Super Bowl and for good reason: you really need to be in shape to be on your feet with that camera rig all day. The Rams game was a killer and this will be tenfold. I'll be ready. Whenever I have deadlines, I knock 'em out. I'll be in the 170s for the Superbowl and even though that's not my fighting weight, it's enough to make a difference. The rest will come later. Also turning the announcer's booth outside into a weight room. Just making it will be a workout so that's cool. But blah, blah, blah.
 
So tomorrow I speak with my new accountant and we file the articles of incorporation to make 4tvs Media an S-Corp. 4TVS MEDIA, INC is coming with 2 DBAs underneath: RentTheDelorean.com and Virtual Presence Productions. The latter which is what everyone will actually see. 4TVS MEDIA just helps me organize all things entertainment including my documentaries as well as the Delorean because it really is just renting a movie prop. It's an asset, it's a thing, no reason to sell it off or quit doing it. I will be changing the site to just corporate gigs as I really, really am done driving that fucker unless I actually want to.
 
<hint: I never want to>
 
But I will say the last tour I did was pretty fun... because I knew it was the last tour. I got some VR180 footage of that and may make a video soon. I'm just so thrilled to never have to deal with that shit again. Goodness Fastest Delorean killed the joy of that business for me.
 
I'm also buying a ton of equipment to make my life easier for the Super Bowl which is kind of a risk. I did fine with what I had at the Rams game and it's honestly a coin-flip if I do anything with the NFL past the Super Bowl but the budget for this production is ample and it's the right thing to do. I don't need to get rich right now, I need to build a company. And if this goes the way it could go? I need write-offs. Lots of 'em.
 
To put it simply: life before and after the purchase of that camera is completely different. I cannot believe I had the balls to call it "A Samy's Moment" ala SunTV and make that video...
 
 
Jesus Christ that video has 36 views. LOL. I really do live my life in a vacuum don't I. Clearly, I don't do this for views and none of that is monetized but it still kind of blows my mind what a ridiculously interesting story is HIDDEN on YouTube because I'm invisible. Crazy.
 
But yeah, I really just put my neck out there and then spent a year perfecting the craft. In fact exactly a year later...
 
 
This story is so unbelievable... The Journey Vol. 3 is gonna be insane and if VR180 takes off the way I think it will? I may need to find a way to retrofit Vol. 1 & 2 to be VR180. Who knows...
 
So yeah, this year... the sky is the limit. And although the worse-case scenario is THE SUPER BOWL, it's hard not to feel deflated if that's all that happens. Like if I'm typing here a year from now and that's all that I was able to pull off with the NFL - it will be bittersweet. There's no denying that. But as it stand right now, I'll take my chances.
 
Happy New Year. Decided to do it in VR180 of course and throw in some of the old videos for fun. God I love this format. This is so cool in a headset...
 
 
 
Here's to the future...
