HERE WE GO AGAIN...

So much to my surprise, but also to my delight, all the effort put forth into last year's "Spoof Wars" has paid off with a three-peat nomination from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for the EMMY.

Three years ago, when I entered into the Palomar College Radio and Television program I told myself that the goal would be to earn a nomination by the time I left there. Turns out I managed to pull out a nomination for each year I was there. That's not too bad.

Of course, none of this would have been possible without a couple of very important people to me. The first of which is Kurt. Kurt, more than anyone, rode the rollercoaster ride with me over the past three years, and in many ways I'd have not gotten through more than a few rough spots along the way had he not been there. Thanks Kurt!

My parents... what can I say? They've believed in me even through the times when I didn't believe in anything... or anyone. They've been a rock for me to rest on in the toughest of emotional times and the same rock for me to stand upon in triumph when things go well. Without them I'd have faltered far more often than I have.

Teesa. What's there to say? She's my strongest vocal supporter. She's always there to lend a shoulder when I need to cry. And for a big guy, crying is a pretty heavy thing to handle. But, nonetheless, she's there for me. Strong and loving. She's also the key ingredient in a Star Wars fan film that's garnered an EMMY recognition. Way to go sis!

Everyone who's performed or participated in one of my film projects. Without you all I would not have had the ability to carry out these projects. While many of the projects that we've shot have fallen short of perfection, it was never because of any shortcomings in the people I've worked with. (Well, maybe once... but we'll not go into that particular Episode now will we? *wink* *wink*)

So anyways, no matter how the final outcome of this year's EMMY's goes, I thank all of you for your support and participation! I look forward to many more years of entertaining all of you.
