Voting
Today I voted for the first time for the Producer's Guild of America Awards.. it was kind of exciting, now I have to see who the winner will be.
The Guild Episode Six
Today episode six of The Guild second season was posted at MS Video. I'm loving this season.. and I'm not saying that because I worked on it.. it's actually a really funny season so far. You can see the episode here.

Jeep Issues... again
Today when I left work my check engine light came on. It's frustrating because only two weeks ago I took my jeep into the shop because my check engine light was on. My jeep is still running smoothly so I'll see what happens the next few days.

The New Doctor
Today they announced the new Doctor Who, he will be the 11th actor to play that role. His name is Matt Smith and he is fairly and unknown. He is also the youngest actor to play the famous timelord. I am holding back judgment until I actually see him in the role but man is it going to be tough stepping in the shoes of David Tennet... only time will tell.
Xmas is Over
Today Harry and I took down all our Christmas decorations. It was sad but also nice getting our house back in order. I got to finally move the Big Screen TV to its rightful spot and hook up my surround sound. Now I'm just waiting to get an HDMI cable to we can get true HD from our cable box.

More Star Trek Videos and Digitizing
Been trying to get more of The Guild footage digitized as I'm going to start editing the BTS stuff soon. Between digitizing tapes I'm editing last years footage of Star Trek the Tour. It's great fun to see how geeky and excited we were when we went last year... so much fun.. you can watch the videos on my You Tube page

It's A New Year...
Every year I make various resolutions and every year for various reasons I don’t keep them. So instead of disappointing myself I am going to set life goals.
- First goal: Is to be a better husband, after five years of being together your life becomes a routine, you do the same things day in and out. This year I’m going to try and vary the routine as much as possible.
- Second goal: To be a better friend, I have some wonderful friends who have enriched my life and I don’t see them as much as I would like to. My goal is to see my friends at least twice a month, even if it’s just a quick lunch. If we can’t meet up then will call each other and talk over the phone and catch up on each other lives. I miss my friends.
- Third goal: Lose weight, last year I gained 30 lbs. As a somewhat excuse I did start using testosterone gel and my doctor said that one of the side effect is weight gain but it also doesn’t help that I don’t work out or eat properly. So I am going to start to work out again as much as I can and work on eating better.
- Fourth goal: Do more creative things, I use to write poetry and was working on a sci fi novel a well as a fantasy novel. I video tape everything and would love to be able to editing pieces together to share with family and friends. I need to get back to being creative.
- Fifth goal: To finish updating my website. I recently purchased Geekyfanboy.com and I’m slowly transferring my personal website from Yahoo to that site. I hope to have it up and done with in a few months.
- Sixth goal: To be a better human being. To care more, to love more, to be a patient and kind person.
Life is way to short to sit around and complain about how things are so unfair. You never know if this is your last breath.. and if it is I want to make sure I left this life knowing I loved, lived, and laughed to my fullest.
Here’s to a wonderful 2009

A Look Back at 2008
As this year comes to a close I wanted to take a quick look back at 2008. This year has seen many highs as well as many lows.
Of course the best thing that happened in 2008 was Harry and I getting married, it was a dream of a lifetime and it was as ever beautiful and geeky as we planned. His family visited during that time and I got to meet Harry’s mother Zita, sister Gerda, her son Leonhard and her fiancé Bernd. All were wonderful, kind and loving people.
Another high for 2008 was going to Star Trek The Tour, three days of Star Trek geekiness and Harry and I loved every minute.
Another high was getting my first job for a network show, America’s Toughest Jobs aired on NBC for one season only but it was a fun experience and it lead to my current job on Deadliest Catch for Discovery.
And a really good high was the election of Barack Obama for our next President of the United States. Not only because he is our first black President and a Democrat it’s because when he talks you actually believe him. Many from the JFK generation said when he spoke he moved you. That is how I felt for the first time listening to Obama speak. Great things are ahead for this country.
And with that said now to the lows of 2008. Of course the biggest low at least for me personally is the passing of Prop 8, the gay marriage ban in California. This fight is far from over, one day folks will understand that all people should have equal rights.
Another low is our economy, people losing their jobs, houses and retirement funds. This hasn’t effect me directly but it has affected many of my friends and family.
Luckily for me the highs have outweighed the lows and 2008 was a pretty great year.
With a new President let’s hope he can start to re-build this great country of ours.. only time will tell.
