People's Choice Podcast Award Results

Well they announced the winners of the 2010 People's Choice Podcast Awards today. Knights of the Guild podcast (my podcast) was nominated in the Entertainment category and was the sixth category to be announced. It's funny my internet sucks here at my house and I was in the middle of getting ready to head out for a Xmas party so I had my friend Aaron keep me updated via texting on the winners. They were going through them fairly quick and when he texted me the fifth winner I jumped online to see if I could actually watch my category. I was surprised that my internet actually worked and the streaming feed actually held up and I was able to watch that category and see that the winner was The Fringe Podcast.

Yeah we lost, which is a bummer but as they say (and it's true) it was an honor to be nominated. Out of the thousands of podcasts submitted for Best Entertainment we were selected as one of the top 10. I knew our chances were slim but you still hope.. Guildies are the best and it's a fairly large community but in the end Fringe got more votes.

But on a positive note our podcast will always be known as "The People's Choice "Best Entertainment" Nominated Knights of the Guild Podcast" ... see there is that silver lining :)

DADT Repealed

Finally something good comes out of this government. The Don't Ask Don't Tell law for the US Military has been repealed after 17 years. Wasn't sure it was going to happen.. there were several false started to repeal it but in the end it happened today. It's good that it's gone (or will be gone) and GLBT military folks will be able to serve opening and proud if they wish and won't be kicked out because of it, but honestly if I was a gay man in the military I still wouldn't serve openly as there is still so much hate and bigotry towards being gay I would fear for my life from other service men. I'm happy they can serve openly but cautious.

Coach, Crowds and Christmas

Still have a few Christmas gifts to buy and this being our last weekend we had to brave the storm and head out. One of those gifts is a Coach wallet for my mom. Now I can't afford a Coach wallet from one of their many stores but I figured if I went to one of the outlets I should be able to buy one there at a discounted price. So I looked online and found that the closest outlet to us is in Camarillo which is about 70 miles south west of us and would take about an hour and a half to get there. So with wind and rain we started our trek to the Coach outlet store. When we get there it's PACKED!!! I mean the parking lot, there were cars everywhere and it was pouring outside and people running around, it was pretty crazy. We found the Coach store and started to look for a parking space, which was going to take a miracle. When we drove by the front of the store we saw that there were at least 100+ people standing outside in the rain waiting to get into the Coach store which was also packed.. I looked at Harry and said "think I'm going to call Mom and see if it's cool if she gets her Christmas present after Christmas" it would take an hour to find a parking spot and then stand in line for a few hours and then fight my way inside the store to find a wallet. He agreed and we abandon our mission and headed home. But before that we went to a local Denny's for some lunch. Now the blog should be over but it's not. On our way home a bout of nausea hit me. So much so that I fought my body from trowing up. There were several times when I almost asked Harry to pull over on the freeway. Luckily I made it home and the nausea ceased after a few hours.. not sure if it was Denny's or what but for a moment I thought I had food poisoning.

A Healthier Me - Day 124

Well I didn't work out Tuesday or Wednesday, but Tuesday I did go roller skating for a hour and since I haven't gone roller skating in over 15 years it was a huge workout.. was a really good cardio workout. So I really only skipped working out on Wednesday. Anyways back on track for now..

Today's Workout:

5 minutes jumping rope
30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical
4 sets of 10 on the curl arm for my biceps (45 lbs)
4 sets of 10 for shoulders (45 lbs)
4 sets of 10 on the front leg press (45 lbs)
4 sets of 10 on the free weight (110 lbs)

Things are so crazy and there seems to not be enough time in the day to do everything I need to do. I've gotten about seven hours sleep in the past 3 days and my working out unfortunately gets dropped if I run out of time or need a bit more sleep. I rather not workout a day than get sick as lack of sleep is really taking it's toll on my body. I know these are excuses but they are the truths.. still not 100% feeling well but I'm going to do my best to get back on track. Still hoping to get to 200 or below before the end of the year.

Gay = Bad?

Sorry guys this blog is going to be a bit of a rant. These two topic have been bothering me for a while and recently experience both of them again.. which leads me to blogging about it.

First.. "That's so Gay!!" or "That sounds Gay!!" the word Gay in that statement normally means stupid, ugly, weak, or some other derogatory thing. I hear kids say it all the time and even some of my friends have said it to my face.. of course I call them out and ask why they would say something like that and most times they say that they don't even think about it.. it's just a saying. I'm sure most people who do say it mean no ill will to the "gay" community, but it still doesn't make it right. When did Gay start to mean something derogatory? They use to say "Gay" back in the early years and it meant joyful or fun.. "A Gay Ol' time". People need to start thinking about what they say.. I understand that words are just words but you have to understand that when people compare who you are (gay) to being ugly, stupid, weak over and over again it can hurt. It's a form of hate and one that is prevalent in our society.

Second .. "oh but I'm not Gay.."  people say it like being gay is a bad thing.. an example from today I saw a posting of a picture of this guy and a male friend with their arms over each other shoulder.. the caption said.. "My Best Mate.. I love him.. but not like that.. I'm not gay".  It's like he purposely wrote that to make sure everyone knew he wasn't gay.. just because he said he loved his best mate and was showing affection to him. I see and hear this time and time again. I'll be having a conversation with someone and make sure they finish off with..."but I'm not gay". I always ask them why they would say such a thing. Is it that big of a deal if you were gay or if people think you are gay? They make it sound as if being gay is a bad thing and they want to make sure everyone knows that they aren't this "bad" thing... I just don't get it... when did "Gay" get such a negative connotation in our society??

Sorry for the rant.. these things have been bothering me and I'm trying to get better and blogging about these things and not keep them bottled up. Thanks for reading.

Being Extremely Shy

I am an extremely shy person, very introverted and have had some bad cases of social anxiety, I have been this way my entire life. I hated public speaking, I use to have panic attacks when I knew something was coming up and I had to get up in front of the class and speak. One incident really stands out in my mind. I was in 7th grade in Chemistry class and they were going down the aisle asking each person to answer a question. I was counting desks in front of me and then counting questions so I knew which one I had to answer and make sure I actually knew the answer, well that kept changing because if the person got it wrong they would ask the next person in the row.. so I kept panicking until I literally made myself go blind. I panicked so much that my body shut down and I lost my vision. So not only am I panicking that I won't be able to answer the question correctly and that I have to speak in front of the entire class I'm now panicking that I can't see anymore. I remember trying to calm myself down by taking deep breaths, and trying to control my anxiety. After a few minutes my vision came back and I did answer the question, right or wrong I don't remember. That's the worst social anxiety that I've ever had.

As I get older I learned better ways of controlling my social anxiety and shyness. But I'm still not comfortable in large crowds, parties or bars. I much rather be with a small group of friends. If you know me you'd say I'm not extremely shy but that's because I know you. If I know you I can have a perfectly good conversation, but in a room on strangers I will not say a word. I don't have a clue why I'm so shy it's not like I can't carry a conversation. If I sounds stupid do I really care what they think of me?

I really admire those people who can go up to anyone and start a conversation.

I know I do a podcast that thousands of people listen too but it's different when you're talking into a microphone in an empty room, then if I was talking to a room with a thousand people staring at me.  But I will say that podcasting has helped me with my social anxiety/shyness along with my blogging, video blogging, daily booth, twitter, facebook and other social media forums.

Social anxiety and Shyness will be something that I will struggle with the rest of my life, it's part of what makes Kenny, Kenny I guess.

Extra, Extra, Extra

Today I got up extremely early 5am to head into North Hollywood to be an extra in a webseries. My padawan Troy who went to the skate party with me the previous night actually came back to my place as he too was going to be an extra and my place is closer to North Hollywood then his. Before we headed out for set I gave Troy an early Christmas present. Troy lives in Los Alamitos and hasn't had a GPS for a while so he uses google and yahoo maps so he is constantly getting lost or missing turn offs and such so I got him a brand new GPS system. So before we headed into town I had him open it up so he could use it this morning and break it in.

We were running a bit late but manage to get out of the house around 5:45am. We drove separately as I had to go into work after the shoot while he was going to head back to my place because he was going to be an extra for the next day as well. It normally takes about 40 minutes to get to NoHo from our place  but with morning traffic about 50 minutes to an hour. Well I didn't realize 6am traffic is different then 9am traffic and it took about an hour and a half this morning. Our call time was 6:30am and they were going to start shooting at 7am. Well Troy got there about 6:50am and I got there around 7:05am because I had to stop for gas on the way.

Luckily and kind of expected they were running late as well as it was sprinkling and we were shooting outside. I think we finally got started at 8am and did the scene for 2 hours.

It was loads of fun, I love being an extra... there really is no acting required.. they point and say go here, hold this, do that and you do it. It was great to see some of my old Guildie gang. Working with these guys always puts a smile on my face. It was some good times.. can't wait to see the final product.

Skating, Lazertag and Broken Legs

Tonight was my friends Marissa's 18th birthday. Our mutual friends Greg and Sheri went all out for this party. She had always joked about having a skate party. Well these guys rented out a skate park out in Northridge and through her a surprise party. The place was awesome, pizza, hot dogs, pretzels, churro and soda was at the plenty. Flashing light up glasses, glow bands and beads were given out. Belle and Arial also showed up to do balloon animals and hats and face painting. They also had what they called Lazertag but I wasn't too impressed with that. Marissa was extremely surprised and excited.

10 minutes into the party one of Greg's friends fell while skating and broke his leg. For the next 15 minute he laid on the floor waiting for an ambulance to come get him. Most people stopped skating but they did open part of the rink for those who wanted to continue. A few minutes after they took the guy away on a stretcher another guy went down and at first we thought he broke his ankle but he just sprained it really bad. But after that everything else went smoothly. We skated, ate junk food, got balloon animals made and played some lazertag. It only lasted two hours which felt like it just flew buy and at the end we had cake and sang Happy Birthday. 

Other then a few tumbles, it was a fun night, I hadn't skated in over 15 years but did pretty good (I never fell). It was great to see alot of Guildie faces, folks I haven't seen since season 4 ended. And it's always fun to hang out with my Padawan Troy. All in all a great night.

Looks Aren't Everything

First let me say these aren't random thoughts.. something will happen in my daily life and gets me thinking. So I decided to try and put my thoughts into words and blog about it... blogging is a great way to get things off my chest.  This isn't the first and won't be the last of these kinds of blogs.

I've struggled my entire teenage and adult life with they way I looked. I am short, a little over 5"3' and I've always had an issue with it. I was made fun of as a kid and before I was out of the closet I had difficulty getting a date with girls because most woman (not all) don't like short men . Besides being short I'm stocky as I like to call it. I top just over 200lbs and doctors tell me that I'm obese, according to their medical standards. So I'm a short stocky obese male. Beauty/Handsome are subjective to each person but there are what the general populace would consider beautiful or handsome and I wouldn't consider myself either

It's funny as you get older you realize there is more to life then the way you look. It's unfortunate that it can take years and years to reach that point. I think once I came out at 27 things changed and I started to look at myself differently. Luckily for me the guys I liked weren't into tall, dark and handsome, they looked beyond that and saw the beauty within. I accepted that I was going to be short all my life, there really wasn't anything I could do to change that. I also accepted that I am stocky.. I'll always be stocky, even when I lose weight I'll still be broad shouldered and stocky.. it's just the way my body was built.  As for being handsome, I've accepted that isn't in the cards for me. If someone doesn't like me for the way I look then they are not worth my time anyways.

It's taken years but I'm finally happy with myself, I like the person I have become.

A Healthier Me - Day 121

So I FAILED at the end of last week. I didn't work out on Thursday or Friday as planned. I can use the excuse of being tired (as I was on Thursday) but there really is no excuse. I just couldn't motivate myself to get up super early to workout or workout when I got home late at night from work.  But that's behind me.. got up early today and got out there.

Since it's Monday I weight myself this morning 205.5

Today's Workout:

1 hour of cardio on the elliptical
5 minutes jump roping

So a result of not working out those two days and eating crappy last week I gained 1.5 lbs. I'm really starting to doubt I'm going to be at or below 200 by the end of the year. I'm kind of disappointed in myself as it was a very doable goal and my lack of self control when it comes to eating is my downfall. I mean I still have a few weeks but unless I change my eating habits dramatically I'm not going to lose 5.5 lbs in two weeks. But this is only a minor set back, I'm not going to let this discourage me. I'll double my efforts on working out daily and really focus on eating better.

I did start with a new cardio workout.. I bought a jump rope this past weekend and gave it a whirl.. man does it get your heart racing but I was only able to do 5 minutes before my ankles were screaming for me to stop. I'm sure I'll build on that time as I continue to do it but it's a nice alternative to the elliptical.

Christmas Shopping

Today Harry and I went out for about four hours and went Christmas shopping. We hit Michale's ,Target, Best Buy, Barnes and Noble and Ross. I also purchased more stuff online when I got home. I actually bought a lot of stuff online this year. More this year then any other year. I'd say we are about 75% done with your shopping. Luckily we have one more weekend to finish.

My New Tattoo

Today I got up early and left my house around 9:30am to get to my brother's by 11am for the next Tattoo party he was having. Our friend Moose (Joesph) comes over to my brothers house and does tattoos for all those who want them. He charges $60 an hour and if you know tattoos, that's a fantastic price. Well a little over a month ago I got my Hogwarts tattoo and loved is so when I heard he was going another party I had to get my second one.

Well I got there first and waited for Moose to show up. A few other people came and finally Moose arrived. He set up and thought it's first come first serve, meaning I should go first I was a nice guy (as always) and allowed not one, not two but three ladies go in front of me. One was getting a fairly quick baseball and bat tattoo, while a daughter and mother were getting pink ribbons. So what I thought would be a 3 hour delay turned into a 5 hour delay and we didn't start my tattoo until 5:15pm. I didn't plan on being there all day but it turned into a all day thing.

So he copied the picture I wanted and placed it on my leg. Only did it twice to get it just right. He then started to tattoo and I don't know if I pushed the horrible memories of my first experience out of my head but man did it hurt. It might have been the location but everyone kept telling me that my calf wouldn't hurt as much as my arm.. boy were they wrong. I'm lucky I had a pillow that I could bury my face into as I would have screamed out in pain. 

He finished the outline and I got a quick break and then went in for coloring and once again the pain was back. This coloring wasn't as bad as doing the outline but again this coloring had some of the worse pain I've every felt.

In the end it took 2 hours to complete and I can't believed I survived it but the final product is BEAUTIFUL and a great addition to my tattoo collection.

I will say that I don't expect me to be getting any more tattoos for a while. Still have 3 more to go (Star Trek, Firefly and Lord of the Ring) but I think I'll wait a bit for the memory of the pain to leave me.. it's gonna take a while.

Snap out of it!!!

Man the past few day I have been in this kind of funk. Don't exactly know why but things around me seemed gloomy and depressing. I've had this dark cloud over my head and I couldn't shake it. I've been tired and have felt very overwhelmed at times.

Well enough is enough, it's Christmas time and my favorite time of the year. I look forward to this time all year long so it's time to snap out of it and take back control of my life. Sure not all things are going as planned, but it could be so much worse. I have a great job, yes it's a bit of a drive, but I work with some really nice people. I have family and friends who love and care for me just as much as I love and care for them. I have a fairly successful podcast with thousands of listeners who are friendly and supportive. I'm working out daily and though I might not be losing a ton of weight as hoped I'm losing the weight... slow and steady wins the race. I'm healthy and whole and still very much young at heart. I'm a geek and having some of the best times of my life... what more can I ask for.

A Healthier Me - Day 116

 Well today's workout was a struggle, I think the lack of sleep is starting to take it's toll. Was suppose to get up at 6am to do my hour of cardio but the alarm went off, which was strange as I normally get up a few minutes before the alarm, but instead of getting up I hit snooze and then laid there debating on whether I was going to get up or push my workout until after work. Well after the third snooze I decided it would be best to do my workout after work so I reset my alarm to 7am. Alarm went off again what felt like a few minutes later and I dragged my body out of bed and into the shower.

Got home around 8:30, ate dinner and finally dragged my butt out to the garage at 10pm. I was so not in the mood and debated with myself about working out on the weekend to make up for today but I knew better.. my weekends are so chuck full of everything I can't do during the week that there would be no way I'd find time to workout. So I turned on a podcast to listen too and started my cardio. About 18 minutes in I hit a wall and once again started to debate with myself If I should do just 30 minutes today.. surely I could get to 30 minutes. So I switched over to my workout music and that did the trick. I felt my energy start to build and I did a full hour with no problem. And even did some weights that I cut out of my Tues/Thurs workouts.

Today's Workout:

1 hour of cardio on the elliptical
4 sets of 10 on the free weight (110 lbs)

It's funny all the internal debate that goes on with in my head, all the deals I try and make with myself to get out of working out. Luckily my determination is stronger then all those little voices.. now only if my determination was stronger then my will to eat crappy food I'd be in good shape.

V - Season 1 Recap

A Healthier Me - Day 115

Well I had planned to workout tonight but when I woke up at 6am and couldn't go back to sleep.. figured I might as well get it done.... so I did.

Today's Workout:

30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical
4 sets of 10 on the chest fly for my chest (75 lbs)
4 sets of 10 working on my back (75 lbs)
4 sets of 10 on the curl arm for my biceps (45 lbs)

All in all a nice workout.

A Healthier Me - Day 114

Another workout week begins.

Since it's Monday I weight myself this morning 204

Today's Workout:

1 hour of cardio on the elliptical


Well I'm to my lowest weight yet.. woo hoo.. now let's hope I can keep going down the next three weeks and meet my goal of getting to 200 or below by the end of the year.


I didn't workout on Friday as I wasn't feeling so hot on Friday AM and it totally slipped my mind when I got home from work as it seems like there's not enough time in the day to do everything that I need to do. And my weekends were chuck full of busy so I wasn't able to workout.. though I did do alot of Dance Central at Felicia's party and man that's one of the best cardio workouts yet.. may have to look into getting a 360 with Kinect.

Podcasting and Shopping

Today was a busy day.. didn't get home until 3 am this morning and had to be back up at 10 to prep for a special microcast that will go out in the next few days.

After that Jenni came over around 3:30 to record our next full episode of Knights of the Guild. That went really smooth  and after we recorded parts 1 & 2 we played around with my new webcam program and made a bunch of funny pixs (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=574680&id=707225374&l=695f76ea51) and video.

After that Harry and I went out for dinner and to try and get some Christmas shopping done and of course of all days it's pouring outside. We hit Target first as we wanted to get some clothes for Harry's nephews back in Austria. Our goal was to get all the stuff we would need to ship back to Austria. So that meant something for his parents, brother-in-law and nephews. We did manage to find everything we needed and also pick some stuff up for my friends and my nephew Kenobi.

Both Harry and I aren't feeling so hot so when we were done, about an hour and a half later, we opted to go home. We got everything we need for the packaged to Austria.. gotta get that in the mail soon so they get it by Xmas. Everything else can be picked up at a later date.. We still have lots of Xmas shopping to do and only 2 more weekends... scary!!!!

Felicia Day's Christmas/Gaming Party

Today I was fortunate enough to be invited to Felicia's (now) annual Christmas and Gaming party. I brought along my Padawan Troy as my +1 as I knew he would really enjoy it.

The party started at 5pm so of course he and I got there at 5pm, actually since we both live further away and you never know how traffic will be we both got there about 15 minutes early so we hung in his car and waited for a little bit after 5.

When we went in there were a few people there helping Felicia set up. There were several gaming station. In the living room was RockBand 3, Guest room had Super Mario Bros and the Library had the 360 with the new kinect and Dance Central.

First game we had to try out was the Dance Central. Troy and I had so much fun with that.. but wow is that a workout. We did a few rounds before taking a break and grabbing a drink. When we headed back to the living room we noticed they were setting up Rockband so Troy grabbed a guitar while I grabbed a microphone. We had loads of fun jamming with Felicia, her brother Ryon and Omar.

More and more people showed up as we continued to play Dance Central and Rockband. It was a great night that kind of flew by.. before we knew it was 12:30am and the party was coming to the close. Troy and I hung out in front of Felicia's house chatting and I finally got home around 3am.

One other thing that I was able to do was to finally give the last three Guild members their Lil Guildies Plushies. So Robin, Amy and Vince all got their plushies.

I took lots of video that I hope to cut together and put up on our KOTG youtube channel but I did manage to upload about half my pictures of the night.. you can go to facebook and see them there.

An Unexpected Gift

Today I got a new 32gig Ipod Touch from a listener of my Knights of the Guild podcast. His name is Aaron and is a really cool guy we've chatted back and forth via email as he is currently working on an App for my podcast. I actually got to meet him last weekend at an improv show and he showed me what he has done so far and it's pretty AWESOME. He knew I didn't have a device to view this app and the next thing I knew he bought me this beautiful Ipod Touch.

I had a tough time accepting it at first as I'm normally the one buying things for people and not the other way around but then realized that he wanted to do this because he's a great guy and wants me to be able to see this awesome app that he is creating. Over the years I've learned to not "fight" people when it comes to them wanting to do nice things for me. I use to go out to dinner with a friend and they would grab the bill and a small struggle would ensue over it. I don't do that anymore, if someone wants to pay the bill, I graciously say Thank you and promise the get the next one, which normally happens. So with this gift (thought extremely more expensive then a dinner) I graciously accept it with a big THANK YOU.

Edit.. forgot to mention that he had it engraved as well.. with my name and Knights of the Guild Podcast.. so cool.

A Healthier Me - Day 110

Once again I was a bit tired but I'm getting the hang of this getting up at 6:30am and working out.

Today's Workout:

30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical
4 sets of 10 on the chest fly for my chest (75 lbs)
4 sets of 10 working on my back (75 lbs)
4 sets of 10 on the curl arm for my biceps (45 lbs)
4 sets of 10 for shoulders (45 lbs)
4 sets of 10 on the front leg press (45 lbs)

My only concern is my diet, I did okay (no great) when I first started but I seemed to have fallen off the wagon. I blame my job, as it's easier to go out and eat then make something at home because I have to little time, but it's really my fault. I need to really step up the effort and stop eating out, or at least go back to once or twice a week like before the job. If I'm every going to hit my end of year goal something needs to change as cardio and weights can only go so far. I might see if I can get some medical help with this.. I know there are drugs that won't let your body absorb as much fat or maybe appetite suppressants... gotta talk with my doc.

A Healthier Me - Day 109

Today's Workout:

1 hour of cardio on the elliptical

I'm liking this new workout schedule.. even though I had a rough time waking up this morning once I was out there I had a great workout, 40 minutes was filled with The Forcecast podcast and the last 20 with my workout music.. time flew by and before I knew it, it was over.

You would think after 109 days that this working out thing would get easier..but it doesn't.. I have days were I really struggle to get out there and do it.. and then once there I can have a good day and it flies by or a bad day where I will fight with myself to continue. But with that said it really has become part of my morning routine. When I wake up my first thought is to put on my sweats.. gotta go workout... I guess that's good.

World AIDS Day

AIDS/HIV might not be the hot topic of late but it's still killing thousands people and hundreds are being infected daily. Today is World AIDS Day, please take a moment and remember all those who we have lost over the years and for those who are currently HIV positive. It's still a big issue and we must find a cure.

A Healthier Me - Day 108

It was a slow start up this morning but once I got going I turned into a pretty good workout.

Today's Workout:

30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical
4 sets of 10 on the chest fly for my chest (75 lbs)
4 sets of 10 on the curl arm for my biceps (45 lbs)
4 sets of 10 for shoulders (45 lbs)
4 sets of 10 on the front leg press (45 lbs)
4 sets of 10 on the free weight (110 lbs)

Need to focus on my healthier eating again.. kind of slacked on that a bit with the holidays and going back to work and eating out for lunch everyday. Won't get below my 200 goal by end of year if I continue to eat poorly :(

People Suck!!!

So I went to El Pollo Loco for lunch today.. and there was a group of mentally handicap adults having lunch and seating towards the back of the restaurant. I was at the fountain drink machine and two ladies were there discussing where to sit. When one said fairly loud, "Let's go to the front I don't want to sit near the retards". I just kind gave her a dirty look and she put up her nose and walked away.

I sat down near the group when one of the guys wandered over to two young girls (high school age) and said hi. They kind of laughed and giggled then started to talk to him. Luckily he didn't seem to know they were making fun of him, calling him names and saying things that sound like compliments but are really back handed compliments. Luckily the chaperon came over and walked him back to the group but as they walked back the girls just pulled faces behind his back.

I know humans are horrible but it's still tough to see people be mean or rude for no reason. These guys were doing nothing to anyone, just there for their weekly lunch outing. I always say that rudeness and meanness are taught traits but I'm beginning to think all humans are born mean and there are only a few "good" people left in this world. So disappointed in the human race at the moment.

A Healthier Me - Day 107

Today I decided to tweak my workout.. since I'm trying to lose weight more then gain muscle I opted to switch to Monday, Wednesday and Friday to 1 hour of cardio only and Tuesday and Thursday do 30 minutes of cardio and my weight training. This is opposite of what I have been doing the first 100 or so days. I'm hoping by doing this it will help me lose pounds faster and once I'm down do a certain weight I can work on building my muscles.

Since it's Monday I weight myself this morning 205.5

Today's Workout:

1 hour of cardio on the elliptical

Yes I gained 1 pound this week from last weeks weight in. Not too worried about it.. of course I'd rather be losing weight but I do weight myself everyday ( I know I shouldn't) but for the first time since I have been working out my weight has been 205.5 everyday.. no gain and no lose. Still have a month to lose 5.5 pounds which I hope to do with my accelerated cardio workout... only time will tell.

People's Choice Podcast Award

Today they announced the nominations for The People's Choice Podcast Awards. My podcast Knights of the Guild focused on being nominated in two categories People's Choice and Entertainment. They made the announcements live on Ustream and because of our crappy internet I only got bits and pieces. I missed the "Entertainment" category but heard the People's Choice Award nominees and we didn't make it. I was kind of bummed but I knew there are alot of podcasts out there and our chances of getting nominated were slim. So the announcement was over and it was going to take another hour or so before the would have all the nominees up on their website. So I checked back and couldn't believe my eyes. Under the "Entertainment" category the first name was Knights of the Guild.. THAT'S RIGHT my podcast was nominated for a People's Choice Podcast Award. I couldn't believe it.. I was so excited I immediately texted my friends, tweeted and facebooked about it.

There were 1,110,000 people submitting nominations on 2931 podcasts.. here are how the nominees are chosen. There are 44 reviewers, 2 per category who will listen to every podcast nominated. Here is how they rate each podcast.

40% - Number of Nominations
15% - Quality of Website Design
15% - Quality of Sound
10% - Quality of Delivery of Show Content
20% - Relevance of Content

So they grade each podcast on those percentages and the top 10 per category are the ones officially nominated.

It kind of makes me feel good that it's not solely a popularity contest to get nominated, that all the hard work I put in to this podcast, ie sound, website, contest all paid off.

Voting starts December 1st and ends December 15th. You can vote once a day everyday per computer, per browser. http://podcastawards.com/

Improv, Plushies & Padawan

Tonight I went to my very first Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em: Improv Comedy Show. Featuring Alex Albrecht, Felicia Day, Tony Janning, Jeff Lewis, Sandeep Parikh, Tara Perry, and Brooke Seguin. I went with my Padawan Troy but there were also a lot of Guild friends that went, since Felicia, Jeff and Sandeep were all in the show tonight. So I got to hangout with not only Troy but Andrew, Jared, Greg, Derrick, Gabe and Brian, It was great to see all those guy. I also go to meet Aaron, he is the guy who is working on the Knights of the Guild App for the iphone/itouch. We've been talking via email for months so it was great to finally meet him and see the progress he has made The KOTG app is looking pretty sweet!!!!

The show was FANTASTIC!!! Watching improv always amazes me, those folks need to be extremely quick and constantly on.

After the show I got to chat with Felicia, Sandeep and Jeff for a bit. I was finally able to give Sandeep and Felicia their Lil' Guldies Plushies that Jes had sent me. Both really liked them. I hope to get the video up soon.

After we said our goodbyes to everyone, Troy and I went out to Denny's to grab a bite to eat. One thing that we tend to do when we go out is talk.. and talk.. and talk and we lose all track of time. But this time we had a plan, his car was parked on the street (by the improv theater) and needed to be moved by 2am.. so we knew we'd be back no later then 2. So we got to Denny's had some breakfast and chatted for about 2 1/2 hours when I noticed it was 1:30am and said we should be getting back. We get back to his car and as usual we chatted for another 2 hours. We only had one cop car pull up beside us and shine their light into my jeep but I guess they didn't see anything nefarious so they drove off quickly. Around 4:15am I called it a night.. we could have continued to chat until the sun came up but I needed to get home for some sleep as I had a long day of Christmas stuff and editing my podcast ahead of me.

Good times were had by all!!!

A Healthier Me - Day 104

So I took the day off yesterday from working out, it was only a cardio day but with Thanksgiving I wasn't in the mood to workout.

Since I had today off from work opted to work out later in the day. No need for me to get up early on a non-work day.

Today's Workout:

45 minutes of cardio on the elliptical
4 sets of 10 on the chest fly for my chest (75 lbs)
4 sets of 10 on the curl arm for my biceps (45 lbs)
4 sets of 10 working on my back (75 lbs)
4 sets of 10 for shoulders (45 lbs)
4 sets of 10 on the front leg press (45 lbs)

Since I missed my cardio I squeezed in an extra 15 minutes today.. really going to try and make that my norm starting next week. Still working on getting my cardio up to 1 hour all five days. Cardio is what I really need to lose the weight.. weight training is good but I'd rather be losing the weight then gaining the muscle.. at least at this point in my workouts.

Mark Willis - Don't Laugh At Me

I've loved this song since the very first time I heard it.. it's such a beautiful song and the words ring true.

I'm that little boy with glasses, the one they call a geek, the little girl who never smiles,'cause I got braces on my teeth, And I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep

I'm that kid on the playground, who's always chosen last, A single teenage mother, trying to over come my past, You don't have to be my friend, if it's too much to ask.

Don't laugh at me, Don't call me names, Don't get your plesure from my pain, In God's eyes were all the same
someday we'll all have perfect wings, Don't laugh at me

I'm a cripple on the corner, You pass me on the street. I wouldn't be out here beggin', If I had enough to eat
You don't think i don't notice, That our eyes never meet.

I lost my wife and little boy, Somewhere 'cross that yellow line, The day we laid them in the ground, Is the day i lost my mind, Right now I'm down to lovin, This little cardboard sign

So, Don't laugh at me, Don't call me names, Don't get your plesure from my pain, In God's eyes were all the same, someday we'll all have perfect wings, Don't laugh at me

I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm short, I'm tall, I'm deaf, I'm blind Hey arn't we all?

Don't laugh at me, Don't call me names, Don't get your plesure from my pain, In God's eyes were all the same
someday we'll all have perfect wings, Don't laugh at me

Thanksgiving Dinner

Last year we had Thanksgiving dinner at our house so this year my brother and sister-in-law decided to have it at their place. Only thing we were responsible for was desserts. So on my way home last night I picked up 2 pumpkin pies and 1 apple pie. Also this morning I made a big batch of rice krispies treats.

Dinner wasn't until 5pm so we left our house around 1pm as it normally takes an hour and a half to get to their place. But of course being Thanksgiving and everyone trying to get out of town we were stuck in traffic for almost 3 hours. We finally arrived at there place a 4.

Dinner was served at 5 and was FANTASTIC, we had Turkey, Ham, Mash Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Corn, Rolls, Cranberry Sauce, Green Bean Casserole and Stuffing.

Lora (my sister-in-law) also invited some of her family to join us and it was great hanging out with them as we don't get to see them very often.

It was a fun night had by all.. we left around 9:30pm and got home at 11pm

PS.. no pictures were taken :( but I did get some video. :)

V - Returns Jan. 4th

Really looking forward to the return of this series.. it look a few episodes to get going but man the last few were AWESOME!!!

A Healthier Me - Day 102

Got up at 6:30am.. it's getting really easy now getting up that early. I actually get up half hour to fifteen minute earlier then my alarm. Most morning I feel well rested. It's getting colder and colder, that's really my only issue.. may have to start bringing in a space heater to the garage to warm it up, but normally when I start my cardio the coldness goes away.. for the most part.

Today's Workout:

30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical
4 sets of 10 on the chest fly for my chest (75 lbs)
4 sets of 10 on the curl arm for my biceps (45 lbs)
4 sets of 10 working on my back (75 lbs)
4 sets of 10 for shoulders (45 lbs)
4 sets of 10 on the front leg press (45 lbs)

A Healthier Me - Day 101

Today was a cardio day and I once again walked around my work area.. It's cold outside.. not sure I'll able to continue with this as it gets colder.

Today's Workout:

30 Minute Walk

I'm On Fanboy Funhouse

Filmed this a few weeks ago.. it was a lot of fun.

A Healthier Me - Day 100!!!!

Whoo hooo made it to day 100. Can't believe I've been working out for 100 days now and sticking to it. I've had my ups and downs but for the most part it's been a great experience. 

Since it's Monday I weight myself this morning 204.5

Today's Workout:

30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical
4 sets of 10 on the chest fly for my chest (75 lbs)
4 sets of 10 on the curl arm for my biceps (45 lbs)
4 sets of 10 working on my back (75 lbs)
4 sets of 10 for shoulders (45 lbs)
4 sets of 10 on the front leg press (45 lbs)
4 sets of 10 on the free weight (110 lbs)

So I am at my lowest so far since I've been trying to lose weight. 4.5 lbs to go before I hit my goal to get below 200 by years end. Today's work out was great, no issues with cardio and I'm liking my 4 'sets' now, feel like I'm really getting a good weight training workout... and I have to say my arms are looking pretty good. I'm starting to get "cut" and I've never been able to get "cut" before. Can't wait to see what the next 100 days has in store for me.

SDCC FAIL!!! 2nd time

Today I got up at 5:45am to purchase some San Diego Comic Con tickets. These are not for me as I get a Professional tickets but are for my brother and friends. So I got up early and jumped online, at 6am I clicked on the site and got and error, again and again I clicked on the site and got error after error.

Suddenly Twitter went crazy as everyone was having issues. It was like deja vu as this is the same thing that happened on Nov. 1st when they tried to sale tickets last time. So I tried and tired for over an hour with no luck. at 7am I had to get outside to workout so I took my mini netbook out with me and continue to try while working out with no success. I got back from working out and tried some more but this time there were tweeter folks saying that they got their tickets finally.. it looks like, at least for some of us, that we were able to get tickets.. then suddenly SDCC closed tickets sales once again stating that they will try again at a later date. So everyone who didn't get a ticketed wasted 2 and a half hours.

So a second attempted FAILED, you'd think they would have this process down since they have been doing this for so many years..  I know the con is more popular then it's ever been.. but what was the point of them going down for three weeks to "fix/find a solution" to the problem and then have the same issue all over again.

I actually wrote my contact with the "Pro" department at Comic Con and asked what the deal is with Professional passes as we use to get 1 for us, then 1 free one for a guest and the option to buy 4 more at regular price. Well I heard back and it looks like they have limited those passes as well. As I pro I will get one for me and if I sign up as soon as they announce pro reg. I will more then likely get one free one for my guest and be able to buy 2 more at regular price.. so I'll be able to get 4 total. But again nothing is set in stone other then me getting 1 pass for myself. 

There has to be a better system!!!

A Healthier Me - Day 98

Was suppose to work out yesterday but got really lazy so I forced myself to get up early today to get my workout done. Which I did.. 

Today's Workout:

30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical
4 sets of 10 on the chest fly for my chest (75 lbs)
4 sets of 10 on the curl arm for my biceps (45 lbs)
4 sets of 10 working on my back (75 lbs)
4 sets of 10 for shoulders (45 lbs)
4 sets of 10 on the front leg press (45 lbs)

Starting to see definition in my arms, chest and lats. I think my upper body is coming along nicely and I've never had an issue with my lower body, it's always been toned and muscled, it's the middle section that is the toughest part for me and I really don't see a change yet. But I'll struggle onwards.. I know this isn't a quick fix, it's a lifestyle change and it's a slow process but so far I'm happy with the results.

I also want to Thank all of you who read my Work out blogs and leave me messages of encouragement. Honestly you guys are the reason I continue to do this. There are days when I just don't want to work out but then think of you guys who are following my progress and letting you guys down when I don't blog. Of course I could blog that I worked out but it's tough to lie to you guys.. so guilt is keeping me working out. It may not be the best way but hey it's keeping me going. Thanks for all your continued support.

Doctor Who 2010 Christmas Special Trailer

I miss Doctor Who.. can't for this years Christmas special

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt1 - My Thoughts

I'm not good at writing reviews as I love everything and have a hard time critiquing stuff so it should come to nobodies surprise that  I LOVED this movie. I had seen several of the scenes already online and knew where they were going to split the book. So much stuff happens so quickly that I'll need several more viewings before I have fully take in the movie. But here are my thoughts from my first viewing.

• Loved all the additional scenes they added, it's always tough to film exposition or stuff in the characters head but with the additional scenes they did a great job with that.
• Seven Potter scene was funny and action packed, my only complaint, if you can call it that is the action happens to fast that I barely saw what happened. But I think that's most from the fact that I was 10 feet from the screen and had to keep turning my head back and forth to see what was going on. I think I'll be able to see more when I see it again from a regular seat.
• Another thing they did different was Hegwigs death. In the book she is hit by a stray spell and dies. But in the movie she goes to help Harry and dies trying to save him... really liked that change.
• Loved all the interaction with Ron and Hermione, the subtle looks and glances were perfect.
• Ginny's kiss with Harry while George walking in was priceless.
• Loved the wedding and Kingsly patronus and voice was very chilling.
• The Diner scene was great and extremely tense
• Kreacher and Dobby effects were unbelievable, especially Kreacher.. looked extremely real.
• The Minster of Magic break in scene was a bit different from the book but never the less pretty awesome. Troy told me afterwards that he read the three actors who portrayed Ron, Harry and Hermione under polly juice potion watch footage of the 3 to get there mannerisms down and boy did they, I was very impressed with that scene.
• Ron splinching himself was well done and Hermione's reaction and Emma's acting was superb. 
• I liked the growing tension between the three
• And the showdown between Ron and Harry was AWESOME, very well acted on all three of there parts. It pretty much played out exactly like the book.
• They added a controversial scene of Harry dancing with Hermione but I though it was well done and to me didn't feel like they could possible hook up. Ron had left and it was just those two sitting around listening to the radio and Harry tries to lift Hermione's spirits by dancing.. it was quite cute.
• Going to Godric Hallows was a great scene, slightly altered from the books. Batilda Bagshot was extremely creepy and then when Nagini came out of her the action ramped up. The final scene kind of happened a little to fast for my taste but it was an exciting scene.
• One of my favorites scenes was the opening of the Locket, it was FANTASTIC!!! the SFX were cool, Rupert's (Ron) reaction was dead on. The Harry and Hermione who came out of the locket were exactly as I picture them.. more horrible and beautiful then the real life versions. That scene gave me chills.
• Visiting the Lovegoods was a good scene, shortened a bit from the book but I did like how they conveyed The Story of the 3 Brothers.. very Tim Burton'esqe. 
• Them getting caught by the snatchers was a bit different but much more action packed. Again because I was so close and the camera work on this scene it was difficult to see anything. They used the shaky camera technique to make it more frantic which works but it was a bit too much.
• The Malfoy Manor scene extremely well done. The torture scene was chilling. Once again Emma's acting was superb and of course Helena "Belletrix" was as crazy as ever. Something different from the books was Hermione having "mudblood" cut into her arm. I saw an interview with Emma were she said that was her and Helena idea.. great addition.
• Dobby rescuing everyone was great. disappointed that Wormtail didn't die, like in the books.
• Dobby's death was the best, I cry every time I read it and I cried watching it. They extended his speech in the movie. In the book he only says Harry Potter. But in the movie he says how much he values his friendship and being free and having Harry Potter as a friend.. OMG I'm starting to well up just typing this... such a sweet scene.
• Voldermort breaking into Dumbledore grave as well done and the perfect way to end the film.. I could have watch part 2 right then and there but it was a good way to leave the story.. our heroes are down, losing one of there own and the bad guys gets the ultimate weapon.. everyone is doomed.

I can't wait to see this movie again.. like I said it goes so fast and so much stuff happens. Of course there are those who will complain that things were left out, especially since it was split in two they will figured they included everything. We still don't know where Harry gets the shard of mirror, or how the person who conjured the doe knew where they were staying (as in the books it's Nigelious' portrait who over hears Hermione mention it) but in the end those are minor details that don't really effect the over all story.. and who know maybe will get answers in part two.

Great addition to the Harry Potter world and I can't wait to see it at least a few more times in the theater.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt1 - Getting to the Theater

First let me say I normally don't do Midnight screening as I'm getting older and it's just too crazy but this is Harry Potter and one of the final movies which makes it special so when my padawan Troy asked Harry and I if we wanted to see a midnight screening with him I said why not.. will be a fun experience. Well it was an experience.. fun, I'm not so sure.

So where to begin, first of all I had planned to get to the theater around 10pm, I figured 2 hours before the movie started should be okay. Well at around noon I started getting tweets from friends in other cities who were already lining up and I started to panic a bit.. but figured oh those are the really die hard fans (which I am) but not willing to waster 12 hours of my day sitting in line. Anyways I got off work at 7pm, had the worse traffic I have had yet in the two weeks I have been there. Got home at 8:30pm, made a quick dinner and we ate at 9pm. Got dressed in my Hogwarts school clothes but didn't have time to shave so I looked like a Hogwarts student at his 20 year reunion. We got on the road at 9:15pm and had to stop for gas, but of course our local gas station is out of gas and the closes one is 20 minutes away (but luckily on our way). So we finally get on the 14 around 9:45pm and head south. Figured traffic wouldn't be too bad as we were heading opposite of most traffic but when we got to the 170 split on the 5 they decided to do road work and bring the lanes down to one.

Now suddenly we are in bumper to bumper traffic and I knew we were going to have some issues once we go to the theater. Well we got there around 10:15pm and drove around for another 15 minutes looking for a parking space. Finally getting to the theater at 10:30pm I got the tickets and found out that they already let the people in the theater, mind you we still have an hour and a half wait. I knew then we were screwed and sure enough when we walked in it was PACKED!!! We attempted to find three seats together but there was nothing and we were forced to go down to the very front of the theater where we found some center seats that were four rows back from the screen.

So we made it, got horrible seats but I guess they could have been worse (very first row, or not sitting together). Now we had to wait for my padawan Troy, who was attending a premiere screening of movie that friends had worked on, this was in Culver City.

I get a text around 10:45pm saying that he is leaving and on his way.. I thought great.. plenty of time to get here. At 11:00 he calls me and tells me that the 110 is closed and he was forced to continue on 10 going east and needed help to find his way to Burbank. Now I know freeways but downtown LA is a little blurry to me so I have get off the freeway and go back on the 10 west hoping to catch the 110 but of course that's closed as well and instead of him driving around downtown LA I tell him to get off the freeway while we figure out where he actually is. After a few minutes we realize he is near the Staple Center so Harry maps it on his phone and we tell Troy the directions but of course something is going on at the Staples Center and there bumper to bumper traffic downtown that he is now stuck in. So I stay with him on the phone watching the minutes tick away until my phone is about to die so I wish him luck and hang up around 11:45pm. He was just about to get on the 110 when I hung up and I figured there would be no way he would make it here in time. But normally get previews so I figured he had an extra 20 minutes or so. Anyways I wait and wait watching the time tick away when I get a call at 11:55pm saying he's here and asking where to park. I direct him to the parking lot and head out of the theater to go grab him. After a little shuffling around I finally find him and we get to the theater at midnight. We sit down half way through the first preview.. we made it with 15 minutes of preview to spare. Now I can relax and enjoy the movie.

A Healthier Me - Day 96

Today was a cardio day and I once again walked around my work area.. I knew when I get home tonight I wouldn't have time to do any cardio since I'm going to see Harry Potter at midnight so I did a 30 minute walk during my lunch break.

Today's Workout:

30 Minute Walk

Do Nice Guys Finish Last?

I've been called a nice guy all my life. When I was younger I was extremely naive and was taken advantage of many times, the worse was buying a car for a friend (cute straight boy I was very smitten with) who started to pay back the "loan" then suddenly disappeared out of my life leaving me several thousands in the hole.

There have been many instances in my life where being nice really hurt me, luckily none of them as costly as the one above, but still there are only so many times you can get taken advantage of before you start questioning your choices in life. I do learn from my mistake but cute straight boys seem to be my weakness back then. I was in the closet and so desperate for a little attention that I'd do anything for them knowing that I was going to get hurt in the end.

As I get older and wiser I am less naive, at least I like to think so. But at the end of the day I'm still a nice guy..

So my question is; Can you be too "nice"? Do nice guys always finish last, if so why??

I will always be a nice guy and I'm sure I'll get taken advantage of from time to time, and if I'm destine to finish last at least I'll be happy with they way I lived my life.

A Healthier Me - Day 95

Well today's workout almost didn't happen. I tried to convince myself that I wasn't feeling so well and wasn't going to work out.. but I knew better. I'm not feeling 100% but far from not being able to get my butt out to the garage to work out.

Today's Workout:

30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical
4 sets of 10 on the chest fly for my chest (75 lbs)
4 sets of 10 on the curl arm for my biceps (45 lbs)
4 sets of 10 working on my back (75 lbs)
4 sets of 10 for shoulders (45 lbs)
4 sets of 10 on the front leg press (45 lbs)
4 sets of 10 on the free weight (110 lbs)

Once again did 4 sets instead of 3 and my arms feel like weights. I'm going to try this weekend to get back to working out during the early morning before work.. this working out after work is killing me.

Cowboys & Aliens Teaser Trailer

OMG!!! I've heard bits and pieces about this new movie but not a whole lot until recently when they released a teaser poster yesterday and now they released a teaser trailer and man it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.. looks like this is gonna be a good one.
