Randombling: A 5 minute long unedited random stream of consciousness produced by a nerd for nerds.

I may or may not be doing the robot in the kitchen ... talk amongst yourselves.AHHHH duderinos - I am so. freaking. EXCITED!!! I just finished my season 2 episode outline for the show I'm filming in Boston, and omg omg omg the adventures are going to be EPIC!!! I'm STILL not allowed to say the name of what I'm doing, or peeps involved (theyre announcing around September 5th) - BUUUTTTTT I can obviously post in real time where I am and what's going on. It's a pretty cool project, and while season 1 may have been a COMPLETE clusterfuck, I learned a lot and I'm ready to kick it back in the field and get some shit done.

BAH! Currently just going over finances for the month. I can't BELIEVE I am going to be gone from LA for exactly 30 days - that is just ... bat shit. LA is my home, always has been - always will be. Dudes, even before I moved here - I knew growing up and watching Saved By the Bell as a kid, that this was the place for me. It sounds weird, but I've never ever had a problem knowing what I wanted from life - I was just glad 7 years later it's all still working out.

Super stoked for this week in general. Not only do I head to Chicago on Friday night, but on Thursday I have a big meeting with the investor duderino and the advisor. Basically they are going to break everything down into doable actions on the process for getting seed money - and ::fingers crossed:: everyone is on board. When everything shakes out I am going to end up having to give up 1/3 of the brand in general - but I'm totes kosher with it since I own 100% of it now, and holy fuck I am running myself into the ground. HAHA you can own 100% of nothing since you end up burning out - or you can be super smart by building a solid team around you that can take it to another level. Yes, it sucks having to give up some of the brand - but I recognize this is the next step, you just have to go with it.

Plus too, all these people are SUPERLY DUPERLY smart, and SUPERLY DUPERLY accomplished - totally an honor to even have them CONSIDER working with me. Very. Very. Very. humbling.

I'm just trying to stay grounded in this entire process; I think that's where being a loaner totally comes in handy - I very frankly don't give a fuck. I don't seek other's approval, I don't need anything from anyone - I very literally own my awesome. Every day that goes by, and after reading all of your comments, tweets, and emails - I get really inspired for where we can all grow as a community, and how we can do even MORE cool shit and get more of you involved.

To say I am excited is an understatement - this is all a dream come true. I'm still shocked that following your own heart, and your own gut could lead down to a path like this. It was all just a series of bread crumbs, and some of the biggest decisions that I ever made, seemed like nothing at the time - they just "felt" right.

Before this entire story becomes a massively huge cliche (even though I already feel like it is one), please please please please please follow your dreams, nerds. Don't EVER sacrifice a minute of your happiness, or compromise a minute of your sanity for anything else. Breathe, follow your heart, and remember in 100 years we'll all be dead anyway. Take risks, laugh hard - remember, we don't get out of this trip alive.

All my love and all my heart. Keep on keepin' on!!!
