korn - brian welch on finding peace

I, like many of you, have family and friends that have been sucked into drug and/or alcohol addiction. It's an awful thing to have happen. That which one thinks will give them peace, eats at, destroys life and any joy that is being sought after. But, there is hope...

Had a great day, today. Thanks to Danny Arnold from Plex. He showed us around his Sugar Land facility. I got to meet Houston Oiler great, Alonso Highsmith. If you're a professional athlete, Plex is where you get stronger, faster, better! Check out their clientele here.

I finished the day off with a walk to my local Chick-fil-A with my oldest son and we ran into the cow...sweet!

the miracle of life

My uncle just passed away...minutes ago. We'll miss him very much, he was a good man.

What I find interesting is that I was watching this video when he passed. Life and death, the beginning and the end. Many babies do not have a chance to live, because some where along the line, we Americans, forgot the sanctity of life.

My uncle lived a full life. He had struggles, like us all, but it always intrigued me how close his family was. He was indeed, the patriarch. He was the glue.

I am thankful that his mother and father decided to allow him to live. My life was better off for it.

hennessey performance

Spent some time at Hennessey Performance, yesterday. Wow! $260,000 cars that were fast to begin with, then John Hennessey and his crew do their magic, adding more speed.

Thanks to Dave, John's General Mgr, who gave us a tour of the place. We did experience a bit of anxiety as Dave handed us adult diapers, then drove us out onto their drag strip where they test cars. Dave was driving a 600 hp Cadillac and I was wondering if I would be screaming like a little girl as I looked out my window, watching the countryside swoosh by us doing a 150 mph. But, he was gentle with us.

Think you've got a hot car? You can take a look at some of John's creations on his website, http://www.hennesseyperformance.com or check out these beauties from our visit: http://tinyurl.com/chq9c7

glenn beck, ted nugent @ a tea party

Spent the day bakstage at the San Antonio Tax Day Tea Party with 16,000 of my closest friends...well, Glenn Beck's friends. Glenn did a great job of voicing the concerns of all those present.

The day was amazing. The crowd was civil, polite and picked up every scrap of trash before they left! The Alamo is the pride of Texas and was the perfect place for a civil rally to voice the opinion of those currently being ignored regarding out-of-control government spending and a seemingly lack of representation on the matter.

Ted Nugent ripped a mean version of the Star Spangled Banner just after he had some kind words for certain government officials.

And, I got to meet one of America's newest heroes, Ron Hall, co-writer of "Same Kind of Different As Me", which is currently being made into a movie. Ron and his buddy, Denver, have helped raise $30,000,000 for the homeless across America. The pic is me with Ron Hall and the sparkling, Janine Turner of Northern Exposure/Friday Night Lights fame.

I love my country, I love my state. I love my God and he was well represented by people like Doug Phillips, Janine Turner and Adam McManus.

giving back

By now you know the guests we had on our pilot. If not, go back a few blog entries and you'll see. Here's Matt talking about our experience with a group of 200+ high school kids we met with the day before shooting the pilot.

Who are you mentoring? In this clip, Matt Kutcher, one of Hollywood's top special effects gurus, Producer and Director, talks about the opportunity he received to become who he is today by the willingness of others to teach him his trade...

most important thing

When I asked Matt Kutcher, Hollywood, special effects guru, Producer and Director, what was the most important thing he'd ever done, I expected him to say, "not blow myself up"; however, he did not, but answered with an equally weighty reply. Take a look...

french kids are stinkers, too

This one is for my wife...I think she made an "A" in highschool French. She was watching Les Miserables last night and went to bed depressed...hey, it's a miserable story for a reason.

So, I thought since she was depressed in French, I'll cheer her up in French...

dad i'm watching you

One of the greatest challenges our country faces, in spite of ubiquitous reports of a bad economy, war, crooked politicians and the octuplets :), are the failures of our dads. C'mon dads...get in the game. Change our country, one kid at a time!

Talk radio pioneer, Paul Harvey, passed away today. We'll miss you Mr. Harvey!

Here's a little taste of how Paul got it right...

raunch doesn't sell

2008 was the year that obscenity, sex and nudity didn't sell in Hollywood. Movies with strong moral values and inspiring stories full of positive faith outperformed, by 2 to 1 or more, films with foul language, explicit sex and nudity.

read Washington Post article here

Now, there are always exceptions to the rule. A good example would be the box office hit, "Parenthood". The film contained some foul language, but was nominated for 2 Oscars, and another 4 wins and 7 nominations...very successful. Let's take a look at a clip...

Here's a great story of a double amputee...
