Spin-Offs

Well after writing a pretty lengthy blog just now, I realized that I may actually want to work in Hollywood one day, so I deleted the thing and will now "continue" what was to be the end half of that blog.

As some who are reading this may or may not know, later this year starts "A six gun for LOBO, two kills for a virgin." which is a spin-off of "Western X".

Now I've heard some grumblings about spin-offs not lasting or being flops. Well let it be said that even the ones that don't make it far are still remembered. Here is a short list of the ones that are the most known shows and their spin-offs. This is not including most cartoons, the thousands of reality shows and the like.

So it's a bit of a lengthy "short" list but it's just to prove a point.

For fuck sake.

Well apparently I do have a blog and it hasn't been touched for almost a year. I don't know if going through my phone and finding the number to text in my blog was a good thing or not yet.

So now that I've spent the last hour reworking everything so that this doesn't revolve around all my old shit from a year ago here starts the new shit.

In the last year I've managed to get out of the corporate rat race and get back to stunt work. Thanks to MJ Carlesi I dropped a good amount of weight and got back in shape.

As far as upcoming projects; Western X is still going strong and going so well that its getting a few spin-offs one being "A Six Gun for LOBO Two Kills for a Virgin" which will star myself and Victoria Paege. I do have to thank Michael Flores for this one.

Thats about all the crap I'll cram into this first post and hopefully I'll stay up to date on it this time.
