Here’s a fun project I was involved with a few weeks back, as both actor and crew.

“G.I. Joe & the Battle for the Serpent Stone” is a live-action short based on the cartoon series “G.I. Joe” which ran in the late 70’s and early 80’s and was itself based on a line of action figures… ah, commercialism! But it was a very fun project with some amazing stunts and fight scenes.

You can check out the G.I. Joe MySpace page to see the trailer and more photos. It’s a nostalgic blast from the past for those of us who grew up with plastic weapons for toys.

Yeah, yeah, I’m aware of the socio-political implications…

I will miss you so much, Stacia. I hate that I have to write this today. Or ever. Since I do have to, I wish I were a poet. But I’m not. I’m just a comedian. Thank goodness you liked to laugh so you enjoyed hanging out with me. At least I get to have lots of memories, even if I can’t do them justice right now.

Thanks for being my dad, Dad.
