FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD

100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease, Joe Cross is at the end of his rope and the end of his hope. In the mirror he saw a 310lb man whose gut was bigger than a beach ball and a path laid out before him that wouldn't end well— with one foot already in the grave, the other wasn't far behind. FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD is an inspiring film that chronicles Joe's personal mission to regain his health.
With doctors and conventional medicines unable to help long- term, Joe turns to the only option left, the body's ability to heal itself. He trades in the junk food and hits the road with juicer and generator in tow, vowing only to drink fresh fruit and vegetable juice for the next 60 days. Across 3,000 miles Joe has one goal in mind: To get off his pills and achieve a balanced lifestyle.
While talking to more than 500 Americans about food, health and longevity, it's at a truck stop in Arizona where Joe meets a truck driver who suffers from the same rare condition. Phil Staples is morbidly obese weighing in at 429 lbs; a cheeseburger away from a heart-attack. As Joe is recovering his health, Phil begins his own epic journey to get well.
What emerges is nothing short of amazing – an inspiring tale of healing and human connection.
Part road trip, part self-help manifesto, FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD defies the traditional documentary format to present an unconventional and uplifting story of two men from different worlds who each realize that the only person who can save them is themselves.

e-mail hacked

I woke up this morning to mail delivery failures in my Inbox.  I found it odd because I knew I had not sent any e-mail in a long time.  When I looked at what the faild message was I knew I had been hacked so I changed my password and hope that will take care of it.

Writting fear

I been working on a story for a while and I have come to a halt on chapter 5.  I know what is going to happen just putting it on paper in detail is difficult because it will be scary and/or high in emotion.  It will be on the traumatic side.  I know I have to write it but it wont be easy.

re-did the dog breed selector

I had been thinking lately about the space where the dog would spend the majority of their indoor time and realized that it be a little cramped for a Labrador Retriever.  I re-took the Dog Breed Selector on the Animal Planet website looking at the smaller size dogs.  The Top Dog was the Miniature Pinscher a 93% match but I eliminated it when I read that it can be scrappy with other dogs and may chase small animals I knew it was not for me. There were 5 runners-up and I eliminated 4 that need a lot of grooming. 
The winner is the Chihuahua a 92% match

 The Chihuahua is graceful, small and compact; it is slightly longer than it is tall. It has a saucy expression and an alert, terrier-like attitude. It should move out at a swift pace with good reach and drive. Its coat can be smooth, with soft, glossy hair or long, with soft straight or wavy hair and fringed ears. Learn more!
