(When I was mad at Bill)
I was driving down the road.
I was mad. I was shouting.
I was angry, yelling at my phone.
At that time years ago being able to watch YouTube vidoes on your phone in your vehicle was a relatively new thing. I was listening to a video made by Bill Whittle. Someone I started watching and listening to because his firewall videos were interesting and chalk full of truth.
Well this video (can’t remember which one it was) had Bill yakking about how in order to change the culture all of us have to step up and get involved.
I heard that call and got mad.
“What the hell am i supposed to do?!”
I shouted.
“What can I do?! I am useless!”
Now in order for you the reader to understand my frustration I have to explain some things.
I have an illness called Crohn’s disease.
Diagnosed at 11 years old and now at this present time I have been suffering through it for almost 30 years.
It is an illness that degenerates your digestive wall, your digestive system. You end up with digestive problems that go from mild to severe and for me it has usually been severe. Internal pain that saps your strength, spirit and will.
I mentioned I was driving at the beginning of this and for me that was usually a rare event.
Underweight, anemic and going to the hospital for intestinal blockages an average of every 3 months kept me at home often.
To make a very long story short in the course of the last 7 years I have undergone multiple surgeries, removal of my entire colon and a permanent ostomy.
I thank God I am still alive.
I also thank God for instilling me the strength to do what I didn’t think I could do.
As Bill called out years ago to jump in and influence the political/pop culture.
I knew I could make video/film content but I couldn’t go out of my house so I took a discontinued tabletop miniature game, wrote scripts and made a stop motion adventure at home.
With the help of good friends and family I had a voice cast and for the past several years of pain, fatigue and near death situations I worked on my dream.
I am not done with all of it yet but here are two links to show what it is all about the first is a trailer that shows the fun loving adventure of the show: https://youtu.be/UM1oPV_soPM
The second is our most recent episode: https://youtu.be/XdUxj51m4R8
FYI this content can be for the whole family. Take a watch and if you like show some love with a sub and a like.
To Bill Whittle.
You sir have been one of my filmmaking mentors these past few years. Watching your TSL’s helped so much. I know Bill that you have plans for future film projects. I am not sure what I could do to help but consider these videos my demo reel. Enjoy.

A guy who didn’t know what he was capable of until you pushed him into doing something no matter how small or insignificant it might be… its something that kept me alive. Many thanks.
You all have a purpose in your life.
Find it. Pursue it. Live it.

Dude Heroscape. I played that so much in my preteens. Lots of sleepless weekends with the cousins fighting dragons and aliens.
I actually have a box of characters. Let me know if you could use them I’ll try to send them to you.
I could certainly put what your have to use one way or another. That is a very nice offer. I do not know if you can pm me here or I could send you an email and we can work something out. It is fun to see how wide a net this game had way back when and it still has a little bit of an active community at this present time.
Do you have discord or gilded?
My user name on both is tekken-dog
If not my email is jwtdcuda@gmail.com
