Josh Q. Public:Who’s the newest guy in town? Go Joe Charboneau! Turns the ballpark upside down. Go Joe Charboneau! Who’s the one to keep our hopes alive? Straight from seventh to the pennant drive. Raise your glass, let out a cheer for Cleveland’s Rookie of the Year. -Super Joe Charboneau
Public Service Announcement: OK, here we go! Daniel Gibson. Even though there’s another man in my life, you will always be my Boo. Boo who? Last seen, Boobie Gibson was going five for five from Downtown Freddie Brown range in Game Six against the Deetroit Pistons. Last seen, like my main man Brock Lesner, Boobie Gibson was the Next Big Thing. What happened? Where did he go? Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you. Woo woo woo. What’s that you say, Mrs. Robinson? Joltin’ Joe has left and gone away. Hey hey hey, hey hey hey. Has Daniel Gibson left and gone away? Hey hey hey, hey hey hey. My thinking is yes. My thinking is Boo Gibson has gone the way of Falco. My thinking is Boo Gibson has gone the way of the Macerena. My thinking is Boo Gibson has gone the way of Rico Suave. This got me to thinking. Thinking about another one hit wonder. Got me to thinking about Richard Dumas. What a one hit wonder that cat was. 1993. Phoenix Suns. Playoffs. Playoffs baby, playoffs. There was Sir Charles coming out of the phone booth leaping over tall buildings in a single bound. There was Danny Ainge knocking down clutch tres against the Lakers. There was Thunder Dan Majerle just killing the Sonics. Killing them, I tell you. And then there was rookie sensation Richard Dumas. Live baby live, now that the day is over. I got a new sensation. New sensation Richard Dumas. Explosive. TNT, I’m dynamite. TNT, and I’ll win the fight. TNT, I’m a power load. TNT, watch me explode. New sensation Richard Dumas was dunking over everybody. New sensation Richard Dumas was dunking over anybody. Uh, and I’m the dunkadelic relic. Yeah, I’m the dunkadelic relic. Bring in the funk baby, bring it in, bring it. Dumas brought it. Brought it all the way to the finals. Ran into MJ in the finals. Ran into drug problems after the finals. And that, as they say, was all she wrote. I fear this too, will be all she wrote for one Daniel Gibson.

I usually become a heavy commenter here at FoxBlogs during the off season, but to be truthful with you, I've paid a heavy financial and professional price in writing Best Damn Guard over the past two seasons. This doesn't include the years I put into developing the concept to see if it was even viable.
I need to spend this summer treating the wife to an island vacation, refining my writing craft, securing a production deal to uplift Best Damn Guard as well professional American sports in general, and treating myself to some much needed R&R -- all before the start of the next NBA season.
sounds great dude. you're looking at it. just honing my craft. i don't have as detailed a plan as you but this is what i want. i guess waiting to be discovered may not be the best way to go about it. if you get a chance check out my website. joshqpublic.com i'd love to know what you think. same basics posts as here but a little different video etc. best of luck dude. hope you don't forget about us over here. if this nashville goes down, my wife is going to go and we're gonna go an a real vacation from there. hope to see you. if you ever get to nyc, holla.

I never forget where I come from, Josh. That way, if it all comes crashing down, my peeps are still there for me to fall back on.
Don't wait for success to come knocking on your door, bro. You have to go get it.
I'll check out your website, and offer feedback.
Of course, you know I believe in you and your incredible stuff. Don't worry, I'll be around so we'll stay in touch.
Best, bro.
P.S. I love NYC. Last time I was there was two weeks after 9-11. I was there for the IFP (Independent Feature Project). We stayed in lower Manhattan. Also got down to ground zero where we took pictures. The smell of human death is ... I'll never forget that poignant and surreal experience. Neither will my wife. She cried like a baby.
