Celtics Overcome a 26 point defcit and get the Win over James Hardens Houston Rockets

The young, but talented Boston Celtics pulled off a crazy Win two nights ago in Boston with the game ending in controversy. The C’s went head to head with the MVP front runner in James Harden, and the talented Houston Rockets of the West. The C’s started off slow in the contest while James Harden took off quick. With no Chris Paul in the lineup, Harden took advantage of extra shots to go around.

Harden had a strong first half but slow 4th quarter, due to Marcus Smart putting him on an offensive pause. Harden went 0-7 due to him being Smarts new assignment on the defensive end in the 2nd half. That switch helped the C’s swing back, cancelling out a 26 point deficit. Kyrie led the way in points scoring 26 with young hitta Jayson Tatum adding 19 points. But the keys to victory credits Al Horford and Marcus Smart’s will to win. Jayson Tatums layup to cut into a 3 point lead resulted in Smart drawing an offensive foul on Harden during the Rockets attempt to inbound the ball with 7.3 seconds to go. The Celtics went to Horford because of the match up advantage he had over Tarik Black. Horford muscled in a hook shot in with 3.7 seconds left to give the Celtics the lead, after trailing by +20 for majority of the game.

To put the sweet icing on top, Smart drew another offensive foul on James Harden during Houston’s next inbound, resulting in a Celtics come back for the ages victory. Irving and Smart lead the C’s in scoring and effort while Harden, and Gordon combined for 57 points but fell short.

Harden wasn’t too happy with the officiating stating after the game that ''You can't have two officials in a professional game,'' Harden said. ''There was a lot of no-calls that needed to be called because it changed the dynamic of the game. You got fast-break points, no calls, turnovers or whatever the case may be. This is a professional game on national TV. It can't happen.'' To me it sounds like the Celtics played with two refs as well so I can’t really give him pity on this one. The Celtics host Brooklyn Sunday on what should be a flawless victory.

End of The Year 2017 Recap

  The year 2017 has been a good year for me. There were both ups and downs but the good thing is I remember the UPs more than the downs. I grew a lot this year in a sense of mental, emotional, and spiritual growth. I began the year single, but ending it in a healthy relationship. I was able to accomplish one of my many goals which was traveling for work this year. And, I am very happy with everything that I was able to accomplish this year.

Jimmy V 2017

I was just looking back on all my work from this past year and wanted to share this post I made from the top of 2017: http://beyourowndad.blogspot.com/2017/01/2017-is-here-now-what-to-do.html This post has reminded me that there have been many people before me that have set out to "chase" a dream and are now living the dream. The few people I did mention have all gone through trials and tribulations in their career. The "major key" to take away is that those people mentioned continued on and kept trying. Despite all the no's and failed attempts.

I also wrote this post the final day of 2016 which featured my first vlog episode. I want to share this post as well: http://beyourowndad.blogspot.com/2016/12/from-working-graveyard-shift-to-being.html After watching my vlog from a year ago I've realized I need to get my "hunger" back. Hunger not in a sense of I need food, but the feeling I first had when moving out here to California. The feeling of grinding day and night to continue to progress forward and make my name in this industry. Toward the end of this year I've been relaxing it feels like but I'm ready to get back in the ring and grind it out!

In 2018 I'm going to be making my official directorial debut! I've been composing scripts for my BYOD Curriculum and in 2018 I will be putting those scripts into production. I'm very excited to take this step and level up in my career. Can't wait to hear the feedback from you guys. I plan to make 2018 to be filled with a lot of joy, experiences, growth, and happiness.

For now I've made a highlight tape of the many things I did this year. I like reflecting on my past so I know where I'm heading to in the future. Check it out here:  

Lastly, I want to Thank You guys...my readers! Some of you have been on this journey with me since the beginning 3 years ago. I truly want to Thank You for your on going support from simply clicking on my blog and reading it to reaching out to me on Snapchat or Instagram. I never feel alone on this journey and that is because of you guys. Once again Thank You #BYODFAM!

Now, 2018 is all about the level up! Bigger and better. So, that means I'll be asking alot from you guys. I need your feedback. I've been watching Gary Vee build his empire and I want to do the same. I want to build a platform that serves a community of people that want to learn and help one another. I need your likes, I need your comments, I need your feedback so I can build off of what you guys like and don't like. I need to build my social media profiles to reach a broader audience. So, I ask if you like any of my posts to please share them with a friend or family. If you don't like a post please tell me why so I can figure out how to make them better. Lets communicate and build in 2018!

End of the year show was LIT!!

The Stand Up Comedy Sit-Com Down show was LIT!!! aka a success for those not familiar with the lingo. All the feed back I've been receiving has been nothing short of a great show.I had to come thru correct as the host with my army fatigue fit. I was inspired by Method Man and Red Man. I watched them on the "Backstage" film where Hip Hop had its first tour and they had overalls on during their performances . Everybody was feeling my gear besides the comedians. They all joked on my fit like it was apart of their routines! But, it was all love at the end of the day because we all enjoyed the jokes and had a good time. One of my favorite acts of the night was Teddy Ray. He killed the stage.

Backstage

My fit for the night

We had a great turnout. Ended up having industry people in the audience which tuned the show into somewhat of a networking event.  S/o Jersey they were in the house. Mike Zombie of OVO came thru and showed love. Also, had some agents in the building. It was a all around dope show. I put together a few pictures and some clips of myself hosting. Peep game below:

Special Thanks to all the acts

Teamwork make the DREAMWORK!

Special thanks to my supporters outside of LA for purchasing tickets. I truly appreciate your support.Be on the lookout for our next show coming in February!

Fox Has A New Comedy Coming Janurary 2018 LAToVegas

                                               Win Big on Jackpot Airlines this January

What’s the easiest way to win big? Some would say travel to Las Vegas and gamble all your money on BLACK! Well, coming to the Fox network on January 2nd is a new comedy about everyday people trying to win big in life. “LA to Vegas” is the new TV comedy series that focuses on the flight crew and passengers of “Jackpot Airlines” which travels from Southern California to the one and only Las Vegas, Nevada every weekend. The flight crew attends to their passengers every need all while trying to figure out their own lives.

 

Jackpot Airlines is flown by Captain Dave (Dylan McDermott) who will ensure the flight will arrive safely at its destination….on auto pilot! The captain chooses to fly on autopilot so he can mingle, hit on, and become best friends with his passengers. Safe to say Dave isn’t your typical captain. The flight crew also includes Co-pilot Alan portrayed by Amie Talai, Stewardess Ronnie portrayed by Kim Matula, and flight attendant Bernard portrayed by Nathan Lee Graham. Passenger Artem portrayed by Peter Stormare is sure to give you an experience you can relate too while flying.

Plane Set To Head Back To LA

Fox set up a historic promotion in December 2017 for 50+ guests including myself to experience Jackpot Airlines for ourselves. Our day began at a meet up location next to LAX airport where we boarded a bus that transported us to a hangar where Jackpot Airlines was stationed. As a group we boarded the flight to Las Vegas and became the first group to ever watch a screening of a TV comedy series 30,000 ft in the air. After arriving in Las Vegas we partied and gambled at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino with the cast of the show for a few hours. Thanks to a complimentary $25 dollars to gamble I was able to bet and win some more at the blackjack tables. The traveling group and I took our winnings and got back on Jackpot Airlines and arrived back in LAX before our bedtimes.

LA to Vegas is set to premiere on the Fox network on January 2, 2018.

How I was able to book a Facebook Campaign!

There currently is a social media ad floating around that I've been featured in. I want to share how I was able to be apart of this opportunity so my readers can make similar moves and capitalize on opportunities as well. Here are a few still images of the ad: 

This all came about by supporting one another on their journey. In 2016, I supported and joined  a Facebook group titled "Social Media Gold Mine" where the administrator would give the group members tips and advice on their social media content. The administrator (creator) of the Facebook group is Wesley Armstrong aka "Wuz Good". Wuz Good is a pioneer in my eyes when it comes to the social media world. Wuz Good and many others of his friends/business partners were the first to capitalize on creating content (videos) on the social media app Vine. They built their audience which opened up doors to working with different brands which is known as Influencer marketing now. Vine has came and gone; now Instagram and Facebook are the platforms where you will see a lot of content being created.

 So, to fast forward on how I was able to be apart of the social media campaign. If I didn't join the Social Media Gold Mine group and support it I wouldn't have been able to meet Wuz Good. After interacting with Wuz Good in the group I was eventually able to meet him in person in California. Some may say "I don't live in California so I couldn't meet him...but Wuz Good has even flown others out to network and be apart of the rising creators in SoCal. I believe a good deed always comes back around. Support others and they will support you. Just how the world works in my eyes.

Wuz Good and I at the "Wheres The Money" Afterparty

Now, its summer 2017 and I run into Wuz Good at the gym. Didn't know we went to the same gym! After catching up and chatting it up he lets me know of an opportunity coming up and offers me to be apart of it. I say I'm down and the rest is history. Once again this opportunity would not have came about if I initially didn't join his Facebook group over a year ago. I joined looking to gain information for myself all while supporting what he was doing.

Lil Big Bruh

I don't want this message to come across as support people and EXPECT for them to give you an opportunity....NO! Cuz that isn't how things work. Show natural organic support and the world will work out the rest. S/o to the homie Wuz Good on being the plug in this situation. We're all trying to chases our dreams. If we help one another that can make a difference. Dueces!
