So, it has been a strange week. Currently, I am unemployed due to some budget issues at work. I will still be occasionally making a Food Rant, but they will be less frequent. Regardless, those videos are fun for me.
Before I found out about losing my job, I had been looking for a part time youth minister gig. To be honest, I’ve really been missing youth ministry a lot lately. After being away from it for over a year, I am being drawn back. For me, there is nothing better than making an impact in the lives of students for the cause of Christ.
Since I no longer have a full time job, I will now be looking for a full time youth ministry position. This will take time. They always do. So in the meantime, I have to find some work in between. Who knows?
Anyway, I just wanted to give you an update. I don’t know how many people actually look at this site, but for those of you that do, thank you.
Here are some sites that I have been digging lately:

FOOD RANTS:
One of the shows I’ve been working on lately is “Food Rants.” The basic concept is that a person talks passionately about the food of the day. The ‘rant’ can be positive or negative…just be funny. If you would be interested in doing your own Food Rant, please let me know. We are looking for people who can make 1:00-1:30 minute videos and be hilarious.
FANTASY FOOTBALL
I cannot express to you how excited I am for the upcoming Fantasy Football season. Our live, in-person draft is this Saturday at Buffalo Wild Wings. Football, friends, wings, and trash talk…it will be the perfect day. Who would you draft #1?
SUPERHEROES
There are so many superhero movies that have come out or are in production, which is terribly exciting for a comic book geek like me. I recently saw “The Dark Knight.” I am not ready to make a judgment on where this movie ranks in the All-Time Greatest Superhero Movies List yet. I’m going to see it again this weekend, so hopefully I will then be able to make that call.
Two other notes about upcoming superhero movies. I recently saw a bootleg trailer for the new Wolverine movie. First, it looks really good. But more importantly, it looks as if they are finally going to put Gambit into one of the X-Men films. It is about freaking time.
Second, the preview for “Watchmen” looks incredible. If you have not read this book, quit reading this right now and go do that. Go.

There are lots of new things going on in my life right now. Here are some of those exciting things:
On July 10 I am going to be an extra for a show that will air on CMT. I’ve officially made it. It is all down hill from here. I’ve peaked.
I’m getting ready to launch two new shows for the company I work for in the next two weeks. The first is called “The Rookie Cook,” which is a how-to show for amateur cooks. The other is a simple show called “Food Rants,” that allows people to positively or negatively comment on the food of the day. It should be interesting.
I will also be in another show called “Dog Knows.” I’ll let you know more about it later.
On top of that, I’m playing lots of Putt-Putt and Frisbee Golf.
And of course, I’m watching “Celebrity Family Feud” and “Wipeout.”
Obviously there is a lot going on right now.
