   I know, you’re probably wondering why these two weeks are so close together. Well that’s easy. It’s been a slow two weeks and also my film crew was working on an online web series for the film company. So, I didn’t have a chance to film anything and one of my editors has all my blank tapes for filming. Well, I’m told all great films have set backs. I mean the shark didn’t work half the time in Jaws but they made a masterpiece and so will I. Well the last two weeks were pretty uneventful. I do have some news for you. First the good news, my broken hand from week one, seems to have almost completely healed; I can snap my fingers and only feel a small ounce of pain. So that’s good right? Now for some bad news, I tried to contact the UFC to try to get some fighters to appear in the movie and give their take on things. However, finding a number to call seems impossible. I did talk to nice lady at their customer service center for their online store. She didn’t give me a number and that’s even after I told her I was Baby Kisses. She won’t be getting a life size signed poster of Baby Kisses anytime soon. That’ll show her. I did get a promising e-mail from the manager of a MMA academy that is home to many UFC fighters. So let’s keep the fingers crossed on this one. I’ll let you know how that goes. Then the last story, my cheap 10 dollar scale snapped and is now broken. That or I just gained almost 200 pounds as it now reads my weight as 375 pounds. But my girlfriend’s mom bought me kick ass 60 dollar scale. This thing is awesome, except that it pointed out that my old scale was 7 pounds off. So, instead of an initial weight of 239.5 pounds, I actually weighed in at 246.5 at the start of filming. So a little set back, but it’s only seven pounds. So, that’s all I got for you all this week. I’ll be back sparring this week and hopefully will have some MMA fighters lined up to interview. And maybe if I can swing some magic, I might find an opponent.

Another week down, it’s actually half way through week five as I write this. Why you ask? Well during sparring this week I took two shots to the face. The last one busting my lip open in four places. The outside gashes are pretty much healed but the inside cuts aren’t being so forgiving. I knew I should have gotten that mouthpiece but I like to procrastinate. On top of that, I find myself having some disagreements with one of my coaches but I’m sure we’ll work things out.  

So this week has had me in a bad mood so far and sucked the motivation right out of me but I’ve picking up the slack. I will get back to training hard again today and will continue on despite this minor set back. I definitely will have to talk to Chuck to make sure the sparring partners know that we’re sparring and not trying to murder me. It seems to be a bit confusion there, at least for this week. Outside of all the negative stuff, all the sparring before that last round with me getting busted open, all went better then expected. I locked in a couple submission moves and even tapped Delonn. He says we were in a stand still, but he still TAPPED!  

So all and all, I felt good about 95% of the sparring, just the end was a little upsetting. And so, I’m off to hit the heavy bag for a bit and try to lose more than 12 pounds, as this number seems to be sticking. I hit 12 and my body won’t let any more fat go. I know I can cut the weight. I just need to keep working. Eventually I’ll get over this 12 pound hurdle and move closer to the 37 pound weight loss goal. Wish me Luck.

My most intense week ever! I worked my ass off this week. I’m not going into this thinking I’m going to correct all my errors or fix all my weaknesses in a week. So, I came up with the game plan to work on a few things every week and then add on to every following week, so I’m continuously improving and adding to my arsenal. Right now my arsenal includes like 2 punches, 2 kicks, a knee and a very slow spinning back fist.  

I found myself having the worst day of the week during sparring But not with the sparring, with my crew. My camerawoman had a family reunion and I didn’t find out about it until the day of sparring and with such short notice I couldn’t find anyone to fill in. Then, Evan told me my sound man Tom had camera experience. So, we juggled around some positions and Tom took the job. He did an amazing job! He even caught me vomiting in the parking lot after sparring. I think this is the first time I’ve been excited about someone filming me vomit.  

Sparring went better than I expected. I’ve decided to not go into details on my sparring, as I want to leave some surprises in the film for you but I did pretty good. I have to learn to stay on the balls of my feet which Evan and Brandon will be over during week four to help me with. Outside of that, I’ve learned that if I want to survive on the ground against an MMA fighter—I need to learn some submission moves. Since I can’t be taught moves by a professional, I’m playing my MMA video game, watching some fight footage online and watching how they do things in order to learn moves. I’m working on two moves this week, which I hope to have a chance to use in week four’s sparring. Speaking of week four, my MMA gear will finally be here. It was suppose to be here last week but the shipment got stuck in Iowa or something. Oh well, I’m excited to wear my first ever MMA gloves. I’m also worried about wearing head gear because now it invites being hit in the head. Something I don’t expect to be much fun but a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do and this man is going to do his damnedest to not get hit in the head.  

I’ll let you know how this tactic works next week. If you don’t hear from me, then the tactic didn’t work that well.

Ok, this entry won’t be that long. After taking that kick from Katie at the dojo, I woke up to a swelled up left hand that I can’t even close. I think it’s broke but like I said before, I don’t have time to just sit and do nothing. So it’s going to have to heal on its own. I even tried running this week but during my match with Keen and I rolled my angle. I didn’t think much of it, it was sore but nothing bad and so I went running on Monday. It was hurting but I went with the “Run Through the Pain” outlook. It was killing me at the end. When I got home and took off my sock, my angle was all black and blue. The bruising went up to about the middle of my calf. Yeah, so running is out for a couple days and my hand has me pretty much in a useless state this week. No filming, no nothing.  

Then, I get a call from Adam about my cameraman asking for money. Our film company is in the root stages and somewhere along the line I gave my camera guy the impression he would get paid up front for filming this movie. Upon learning it was deferred payment, I found myself one cameraman short and seeing as I only had one cameraman, I’m not feeling so good about it. Then, I got some good news when my assistant camera GIRL, accepted the head DP slot. So everything is back on track and this will be my LAST week of sitting around nursing wounds, I’m not going to get anywhere if I just sit on my ass crying. Next week, I start training and we don’t stop.

CutThroat Entertainment and BREAK were part of a featured story on NBC4’s news broadcast.

Legend Tripping is a paranormal investigation show. We deal with hauntings of private residences if necessary, but try to focus more on locations that have stories around them. You know, those stories we used to hear back in high school about this place you just had to check out. We do cemeteries, creatures (Mothman, Grassman, etc.) as well as roads, and anything else that might come out way. We even get into the legends where if you were to park your car on a certain road at night, and do something, then something else will happen as a result. For example, the Crybaby bridge story is quite well known in this state, where you park your car on the bridge, roll down the windows,and you’ll hear the baby crying.

Legend Tripping: Our first webisode series, Legend Tripping, will be going into production here within the next few weeks. Stay tuned for the first episode in July.

BREAK Premiere Event: CutThroat Entertainment has locked in a premiere date for their film, BREAK. It will premiere on (date to be announced) at the Park Street Patio in Columbus, OH. Tickets for the event will be $20, and will go on sale next week. There are 1,000 seats available, but tickets will go fast.
