When we started the first THP Biggest Loser contest in March of 2013, my goal was to get to 165 pounds from the middle 180's. This week, I did it. 163 earlier this week.

Even cooler, my best friend who weighed in over 400 pounds a few years ago, is probably going to get under 190 by this weekend, if he hasn't already done it. He weighed about 185 when we met in 1984. So awesome for him.

Congrats on that accomplishment! That's awesome!

On top of my normal work projects, I've been working on a charity project to raise money for building a new children's hospital to Finland. A great song was written and composed by Tuomas Holopainen, known for his little music group, Nightwish. Together with 17 other artists a song was recorded and a music video made, the video was directed by an award winning Finnish director Dome Karukoski. The project lasted for a couple of months, and I've spent countless hours on it, and the past week all nighters every day editing and putting stuff together. I worked as a production chief, assistant director, insert director, one of several cinematographers and as the editor.

What makes this project exceptional, is that there will be a stadium concert in 2015, and ALL THE MONEY that is involved is going 100% to the charity. Not a single dime has been paid to anyone, and will not be paid to anyone except to the charity. Even the local IRS has made it possible to sell concert tickets tax free, and the local music authorities will direct all the radio, TV, youtube, Spotify money to the charity. AWESOME. Basically, if the concert is sold out, the hospital will be a reality in 2017. Large amount has already been raised, and this is the final touch.

The song and the video was released today morning, and it just hit 100.000 views on Youtube, on it's first day (300k under 48 hours!!). Loving it. It's in Finnish, but I'll post a link anyway.



P.S.

My own kids are in there as well :D

It was a long day but apartment and car hunting are done!! A tremendous relief knowing where I am going to live come the beginning of June.

I did tweak my ankle Thursday night and it has been sore - which on itself would have sent me to the Rant thread. But the search today gave me a chance to rest it. Getting on a course tomorrow!
