This is a fantastic short film. Maybe I should watch it a few times until the lesson sinks into my head? You’ll feel better about everything after you watch this film.

Show Notes:

• Mission Statement or why I podcast
• I will believe that I deserve good things.  I will make it a habit of putting my artly creations out into the wild no matter what.  I do this so that my fellow Nerds will be inspired to do the same.  Creating things and sharing them with our fellow humans feeds our soul and makes our existence joyful.  Life is too short not to have joy in it.

I’ll let you guys in on a rough draft to the #Werepanther bit.  It is definitely different from what I recorded.  What I will video will be change again.  This was written over a month ago.  It’s rough but honest.  I’m heading off to MD to meed up with my fellow Nerdist/NANO’s.  We’ll be seeing a Chris Hardwick stand up show.  I’m hoping to get a podcast out of him but I’m preparing myself for disappointment.  So enjoy this peak into my psyche.  (Me from the future of 5/24/13.)

So you want to know how I cam to be so devoted to Chris Hardwick? That’s not really a question.  Are you sure you don’t want to know the story behind why I follow him around like a homeless puppy? Not really? Awwwww, come on.  I promise it will be shorter than How Ted Mosby Met Mrs. Mosby! I’m pretty sure I will only take 4 maybe 5 seasons tops!

In this episode I talk all about hitting the Wall. I talk about my experiences with the wall and explain what I think this concept is. I also discuss a few strategies from the Nerdist Way as well as other places for breaking through the wall.

Opening theme my favorite Doctor Who quote followed by Estancia performed by the URI Ram Marching Band under the direction of Brian Cardany. Ending theme “Do It Anyway” by Ben Folds Five.

Thank you for listening.

I felt so bad for Chloe.  It is really sad that so much judgement is placed on a person by the way they look.  The assumption is that if someone is really pretty then they can’t possible have problems. The lesson here is that you never know what things people are dealing with.  You really are missing out on an opportunity to getting to know an amazing person by making assumptions about them based on appearance.  As I get older I try not to be guilty of this.

…and This?

This is a story of a thing that happened but was in no way related to something that didn’t. If you haven’t seen the Doctor Who episode “Angels Take Manhattan” then this post isn’t for you.
