Respawner

The Respawner Pilot Respawner is really my first attempt at world building. The character was conceived along with her own universe in which her supporting characters would be fleshed out as they enthralled us with weekly or monthly adventures. Unfortunately, petty jealousy and animosity kept my film making partners from fully embracing the series and […]

Buddy Row Screens Thrice in Chicago

Our friend Jamie McRoberts hosted the film festival this past weekend at the Mad Mobster Party and chose to show Buddy Row in the windy city. This one came as something of a surprise to me as the last time we spoke about Buddy Row he didn’t approve of the cut of the film we […]

Cardio Rolls on Day 82

It’s been cold most evenings and we’ve all been working long hours. Still I put in 30 minutes on the treadmill daily with the occasional 20 or 40 minute session depending on the day and how I’m feeling. I have fully recovered from the back injury at this point and plan to start the Sunday […]

Day 64 Cardo Rolls On

The back injury has really slowed me up without question. I’m pleased to say that however slowly I may have completed it, I’ve stuck to my daily Cardio routine of walking 30 minutes on the treadmill. Yesterday was the first day I really felt that I could go as hard as I wanted without worry […]

Brento’s Budget Film Making Podcast Ep1

Back in 2013 I started a little How To Make Indie Films on a Budget sort of informational show called, “Brento’s Budget Film Making Podcast.” Originally, the show was hosted on Libsyn podcasting host but I found their hosting overly expensive for very little return on my efforts and investment. Eventually, I decided to host […]

I’ve ended some bad partnerships and started some new positive ones. I’ve let go of some long term personal […]

Year End Update

Another lovely Christmas day has past and though it felt like a mini weekend break, falling on a Thursday this year, it was a welcome respite from the busy holiday hustle and bustle of the store. We’ve been blessed with far more business than ever this year at the Nutrition store. Gods blessing have been […]

Back to Training

I use the term in the lightest way possible. I have began to be physically active recently as I’ve just gotten too fat over the last few months. I got the Life Fitness treadmill delivered just over a week ago and after waiting for 3 months to get that whole deal together, it was about […]

The Greatest Bowers Family Vacation Ever

It seemed like I really should write something about what my wife and kids are calling, “The Best Vacation We’ve Ever Had!” What made this one so special? Well firstly all of our previous trips were with my parents or on a shoe string budget and cheap accommodations were the theme of the day. This […]

Forty Five Trips Around The Sun

…..I’m a happy man and I’ve enjoyed everyone. It seems like something of an epic post is called for since I haven’t posted a thing since October 20. I’m scheduling this post for my 45th birthday, November 5th, 2014. Wow, October got by in a hurry. It seemed like Fall was especially slow in coming […]
