Welcome to another wacky, totally fictional interview of a ‘Weirdo Friend.’ Today’s story features Ymara Ecrof Tency, best tv watcher. (Video of this interview is coming soon…)

We met Ymara a few weeks ago and learned her big dream (if you can call it that) is to be ‘the best tv watcher ever.’ Before she started playing The Champion Creator Game, she watched television on all six of her tvs anytime she was not eating, sleeping or in school.

Let’s check in with her on Day 30 of the game and see if she’s learned anything about who she is and what she wants.

*****

YMARA: I didn’t think The Champion Creator Game was going to be any fun at all. Having to do a mission everyday that made me read and write answers to questions sounded like too much work. I wanted to poof, be a champion as soon as my parents bought the game for me. I didn’t want to, you know, put any effort into it. I only started playing because my parents made me.

I’m glad they did. I’m learning I’m a more interesting person than a lot of people I watch on TV.

Bonnie Jean: Are you living your dream of being the best tv watcher ever?

YMARA: I am a good tv watcher, but being the best tv watcher ever doesn’t really give me a chance to be passionate about something. I’m not even sure what my passions are because I’ve been so busy watching tv that I haven’t had a chance to think about my dreams and what my strengths are and Dream Doer stuff like that.

My goal for Day 30 was to give away one of my tvs. But I gave away two instead. My neighbors were really happy. By Day 60, I want to give away two more, so I’ll only have two left.

Bonnie Jean: Why will you keep playing The Champion Creator Game?

YMARA: I have to learn how to be more focused and more active. And I can’t wait to find out what my big dream really is. If you need help figuring out what your big dream is or figuring how to live your big dream, you should totally play the game, too.

*****

We’ll check back in with Ymara in several weeks to see if she’s able to hit her Day 60 target. She does have a few weird quirks (which you’ll be able to see in the video of the interview that’s coming soon), but as long as she follows through with the missions, she’ll be able to find a way to do what she dreams.

Weird quirks or not, you can find a way to do what you dream, too. Life is really much more fun when you set goals and take action to make them happen. So…

Join the Dream Doer League. Play The Champion Creator Game. And DO what you DREAM!

To Your Dreams,
Bonnie Jean

Welcome to another wacky, totally fictional interview of a ‘Weirdo Friend.’ Today’s story features Sally ‘Super Fit’ Safari, personal trainer for dogs. (Video of this interview is coming soon…)

We met Sally a few weeks ago and learned her big dream is to be a ‘personal trainer for dogs.’ Before she started playing The Champion Creator Game, she got easily distracted and struggled to follow through with her dreams.

Let’s check in with her on Day 30 of the game and see if she’s learned anything about how to live her dreams.

*****

SALLY: Playing The Champion Creator Game is AWESOME! It’s also super intense. You get to complete a mission everyday that’s all about you—what you’re thinking, what you’re feeling, what you’re doing; what you want, what you don’t want, what keeps you from getting what you want.

And there’s this enemy fighting against you that you can’t even see. His name’s Normalcy, and he uses obstacles like fear and doubt and distractions to keep you from doing what you dream. But if you learn how to be honest and passionate and focused, you can beat him and live your dreams. It’s so much fun.

Bonnie Jean: Are you living your dream of being a personal trainer for dogs?

SALLY: I was. But now I’m not. That’s not my big dream anymore. After playing The Champion Creator Game for 30 days, I realized that’s not really what I want to do, especially when my dog kept running away from me.

That’s the cool thing about playing the game. I get to change my mind if what I thought I wanted isn’t really what I do want.

Now I think I want to be a scientist. That’s why I’m Sally “Super Smart” Safari now. I’m going to invent a way for humans to survive without sleep because I hate getting tired and going to bed. My goal is to stay awake for 30 straight days using my super secret strategy starting…now.

See you again on Day 60!

*****

We’ll check back in with Sally in several weeks to see if she’s able to stay awake for 30 straight days using her super secret stay-awake experiment. She does have a few weird quirks (which you’ll be able to see in the video of the interview that’s coming soon), but as long as she follows through with the missions, she’ll be able to find a way to do what she dreams.

Weird quirks or not, you can find a way to do what you dream, too. Life is really much more fun when you set goals and take action to make them happen. So…

Welcome to another wacky, totally fictional interview of a ‘Weirdo Friend.’ Today’s story features Randaru Rebnitch, sun photographer. (Video of this interview is coming soon…)

We met Randaru a few weeks ago and learned her big dream is to be a ‘sun photographer.’ Before she started playing The Champion Creator Game, she had never actually taken a picture of any sunrises or sunsets like she dreamed of doing.

Let’s check in with her on Day 30 of the game and see if she’s learned anything about how to live her dreams.

*****

RANDARU: Check it out. I just took a picture. A real picture. Cause I do that now. I take actual pictures with my actual camera. I took of the sunrise this morning. Taking a real picture of a sunrise was my Day 30 goal for the Rookie Season, and I hit my goal!

Bonnie Jean: Day 30? Rookie Season? What are you talking about?

RANDARU: Oh, I’m talking about The Champion Creator Game. The Rookie Season takes 90 days to play, and you start by setting goals for the things you want to do by day 30, day 60 and day 90. My day 30 goal was to take a picture of a sunrise. And I did! My day 60 goal is to take a picture of a sunset.

Bonnie Jean: Why are you going to keep playing The Champion Creator Game?

RANDARU: It’s fun! It does take 15 minutes a day to play the missions, but by exploring my passion, I’m learning how to believe in myself and my dreams. I used to just dream about being a sun photographer because I didn’t believe I could be good at taking pictures of sunrises and sunsets. Now I’m actually taking pictures because it’s what I love to do!

Welcome to another wacky, totally fictional interview of a ‘Weirdo Friend.’ Today’s story features lulilulelindia verickent, grammarnotarian. (Video of this interview is coming soon…)

We met Luli a few weeks ago and learned her big dream is to be a ‘travel around the world person.’ Before she started playing The Champion Creator Game, she was a Grammarnotarian who didn’t believe in capitalization or punctuation.

Let’s check in with her on Day 30 of the game and see if she’s learned anything about how to live her dreams. Remember, she doesn’t like punctuation or capitalization, so her quotes might look a little strange…

*****

lulilulelindia hey there lulilulelindia verickent again remember me im a grammarnotarian but not capitalizing words and not using punctuation seriously hasnt gotten in the way of me playing the champion creator game

Bonnie Jean: But don’t you have to write down answers to questions to complete the missions?

lulilulelindia yeah duh the missions are seriously all about answering questions that help you develop champion traits of integrity and passion and focus seriously but since i get to choose to do the missions on my own and nobodys telling me I have to or grading me on my work I can seriously choose to answer the questions however I want

Bonnie Jean: Why do you think developing the Champion Traits are important?

lulilulelindia seriously youre asking me cool okay here goes when you learn how to be honest and to express your passion and to stay focused you learn to believe in yourself and your dreams

Bonnie Jean: Do you honestly believe your big dream is possible?

lulilulelindia since ive been developing integrity i honestly have to say no thats only because im not passionate about my big dream of being a travel around the world person i seriously have to figure out what i am passionate about

which is why im seriously going to keep playing the champion creator game the missions will help me find a dream i can believe in thats based on stuff im seriously great at i mean i seriously didnt even realize i had stuff im great at until i started playing this game

hey are you playing the game yet you seriously should youll have fun learning how to be a really cool person

We’ll check back in with Lulilulelindia in a few weeks to see if she’s able to figure out what her big dream is.

ZIKRINTEMBER: Hi.

Bonnie Jean: What’s your BIG DREAM?

ZIKRINTEMBER: Uhhh…don’t know.

Bonnie Jean: Why did you join the Dream Doer League?

ZIKRINTEMBER: Make friends. Feel like I belong somewhere.

Bonnie Jean: Why do you want to play the Champion Creator Game?

ZIKRINTEMBER: Find something I’m good at so I don’t have to feel scared and embarrassed and shy all the time.

I think that’s all Zikrintember has the courage to tell us today.

It’s Weirdo Friends Day!

Welcome to another wacky, totally fictional interview of a ‘Weirdo Friend.’ Today’s story features Ymara Ecrof Tency, best tv watcher. (Video of this interview is coming soon…)

*****

YMARA: Where are the tv’s? I thought you said there’d be tvs here? What’s going on?

Bonnie Jean: What is your BIG DREAM?

YMARA: Big dream? The only dream I have is to be the best tv watcher ever. I have a whole tv room in my house. I have six big screen tvs, and all of them have picture in picture, so I can watch 12 things at once. I don’t like having to stop watching tv so I can sleep or eat or go to school. All I want to do is watch tv. I’m really good at it.

Bonnie Jean: Why are you playing The Champion Creator Game?

YMARA: The what? Oh. The game Alex and Tyler play in that book, The Dream Doers and the Summer of Secrets. I listened to that book while I was watching tv and thought it was pretty good. My parents are always trying to get me to do stuff to make me think or whatever, so I promised them I’d turn the tvs off for 15 minutes a day to do the missions.

Between you and me, I don’t really want to play the game cause I’d rather watch tv, but it’ll make my parents happy. And they’re the ones who bought me the tvs in the first place. Speaking of tv, seven of my favorite shows are about to come on, so I have to go. See ya!

We’ll check back in with Ymara in a few weeks to see if she’s making any progress toward setting some goals. She does have a few weird quirks (which you’ll be able to see in the video of the interview that’s coming soon), but as long as she follows through with the missions, she’ll be able to find a way to do what she dreams.

Welcome to another wacky, totally fictional interview of a ‘Weirdo Friend.’ Today’s story features Sally ‘Super Fit’ Safari, personal trainer for dogs. (Video of this interview is coming soon…)

*****

SALLY: I’m in the middle of a workout, so I don’t have a lot of time to chat. I’m Sally ‘Super Fit’ Safari, and I just wanted to say hi and let you know I’m totally pumped about finding a way to do what I dream by being part of the Dream Doer League and playing The Champion Creator Game.

Bonnie Jean: What is your BIG DREAM?

SALLY: My big dream is to be a personal trainer for dogs. I’m not really a cat kind of person, but if a cat asked me to get him in shape, I probably would. I’d probably help birds and zebras and fish, too. I mean, if an animal wants to pay me to go through my training program to get super fit and healthy, I don’t want to turn anyone away just because the only pet I have is a dog. Only I wouldn’t train a snake. They freak me out with their scaly, slimy skin and the way they slither around.

Bonnie Jean: How are you going to live your dream?

SALLY: I’m just going to start by training my dog. I’m making a training area for her in my backyard. She has to run and jump and doggie paddle and lift little doggie weights. When my neighbors see how super fit my dog is, they’ll ask me train their dogs…or cats or birds or zebras or fish. Then they’ll tell their friends and stuff like that.

Bonnie Jean: Why are you playing the Champion Creator Game?

SALLY: I get distracted a lot, just like that character Tyler in The Dream Doers and the Summer of Secrets. Well, if playing the game can help him learn how to focus and live his dreams, I figure it can help me learn how to focus and live my dreams, too. I have to find my dog so we can run. She seems to be hiding from me a lot lately…

We’ll check back in with Sally in a few weeks to see if she’s making any progress toward achieving her goals. She does have a few weird quirks (which you’ll be able to see in the video of the interview that’s coming soon), but as long as she follows through with the missions, she’ll be able to find a way to do what she dreams.

Welcome to another wacky, totally fictional interview of a ‘Weirdo Friend.’ Today’s story features Randaru Rebnitch, sun photographer. (Video of this interview is coming soon…)

*****

RANDARU: Randaru Rebnitch here, ready to answer your questions. But I don’t have a lot of time. The sun will be setting soon. What do you want to know?

Bonnie Jean: What is your BIG DREAM?

RANDARU: That’s easy. I want to be a sun photographer. I want to take pictures of sunrises and sunsets and have my pictures hang in hospitals and dentists offices and hotels all over the world.

Bonnie Jean: How are you going to live your dream?

RANDARU: I don’t know. I like dreaming about taking pictures of the sun because it makes the sky look awesome when it rises and sets. But I’ve never actually taken any pictures of the sunrise or sunset. That’s why I joined the Dream Doer League and am going to play the Champion Creator Game.

Bonnie Jean: What is the Champion Creator Game?

RANDARU: It’s a confidence-building, goal-setting, action-packed game that teaches you how to live like a champion and do what you dream. You get five practice missions every day, and then a game to play every week, just like the characters in The Dream Doers and the Summer of Secrets.

See, I’m tired of just dreaming about being a great sun photographer; I want to do something about it. If you have a dream you want to do something about you, you should join the Dream Doer League and play the game, too.

The sun’s starting to set. I gotta go watch it. Later!
