The DJ Rollie D Story

I have to give my friend Lily a little credit for this one, as we were recently talking about how some school subjects can be so hard to grasp the concept of and/or pass.  In that same conversation, we also began joking about what classes were really like, and I just had to share some of these.  Anyways, thanks much Lily! Trigonometry: I'd rather slice my face in half! Grammar: Why does our nation even try anymore? Government: Burn out your brain learning about procedures in Washington D.C. Entrepenurship: Watch ideas you know are horrible be put into marketing use. Biology: A class purposely created to make you fail or come close to failing your sophomore year. Calculus: Ugh!  I really don't want to take that class! And here are some more! Gym Class: Pretend you're excersicing, then go right back to talking about your hot date this weekend over the phone with your friends that are sitting right next to you. Keyboarding: You'll still be stabbing at one

WARNING: The following post is not for you if you don't like sappy stuff Weddings are such a happy day in the lives of two people in love as they bond together for ( hopefully ) the rest of their lives.  It's a family gathering, and in some cases friends are also involved.  The wedding party will get all decked out in the same snazzy attire to stand next to the newlyweds.  It's always a very beautiful day. Being a DJ, I've been present at a lot of wedding receptions and occasionly ceremonies over the past year and a half.  Of course my main purpose is to provide music for the wedding dance and rally the crowd over the microphone, which is something I love doing, especially when there's a good sized crowd out on the floor. The other thing about wedding receptions is that sometimes it makes me think ahead to the future, and my own wedding, which for all we know may not even happen, but the LORD will show me in due time if that's his plan for me. I'm

Some of us will watch TV shows and think "Man! I really wish I could give that role a try!" Or, we see an animated character and want to give our vocal spin to it. Or maybe we hear a radio DJ and think we want to be there, or maybe somewhere else.  Anyways, here is a brief list of roles I'd like to give a try.  Most of them in all reality will probably never happen in my lifetime, but hey, you never know. Anchor Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update Segment: Some of you have heard me talk like a news anchor before, and most of the way I talk when I talk like that is inspired by the people of this segment.  I could spit those jokes out pretty well I think. Announce Saturday Night Live's Opening Titles: This one may be a little touchy with some being Don Pardo just passed away a week ago, but I'd like to do this too.  It'd be a flashback to my days of announcing basketball starting line-ups, even though that really wasn't all that long ago.

Doesn't the picture look cute? It's one of me from when I was little. Lots of other people do this on the internet every day to show the world what they looked like long ago. What are some of your favorite pictures from back in the day? Post them in the comments if you can or share them on social media.

Nicholas Sparks is a man who's wooed the hearts of women throughout the age spectrum with several romance novels.  Some of them have been turned into romance films, and the one that's probably the most recognized as a film is The Notebook. The film was brought up earlier this year by a friend who said it was time to "go home, eat ice cream, and watch this film". It's funny that tonight I find myself watching this film with my sister for the first time, with her claiming that I need to watch the film so that I'll know how to get a girlfriend. So far this movie is teaching me absolutely nothing along those lines.  It's just another sappy romance film. I've never really enjoyed these things anyways.  Oh well, it was worth a shot, and it's nice to be spending time with my sister before I start at Walmart tomorrow. Lastly, I once heard that Nicholas Sparks would teach you the way to a girl's heart, and now I can effectively say that's a lie.

Robin Williams was found dead yesterday afternoon at his home.  Immediately his death was ruled a suicide, and it's been announced as I write this that the cause of the death was hanging by belt. There are already lots of posts on social media mourning the loss of this wonderful actor, who I have seen in a handful of movies.  I myself posted a remembrance picture on my Instagram, and have been sharing some of the news updates via ABC News through my Facebook.   I don't think that there's ever going to be an actor who can top what Williams has done in his career.  My favorite work of his has to be in the one-season sitcom The Crazy Ones .  In this show, Williams plays alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar as the owner of an advertising firm, and he comes up with lots of crazy solutions.  If you have a chance, watch an episode or two.  You'll enjoy it.  RIP Robin Williams. You left us way too soon. NOTE: This is the second one of my favorite actors who&

It's already started. Back-to-school ads are popping up everywhere, our fall sports practices have begun or will be beginning very soon, and we're counting down the days until we either start up the car in the early hours of the day or hop on a school bus to go further our education some more. Summer vacation seems to fly by faster each and every year, and it'll seem like once we finish eating our fair food and riding rides until we puke, that it's already that time.  I'll admit that Summer Vacation really ought to be longer (how does six months sound?),  but through school we learn more than what 2+2 equals.  We learn people skills, life skills, who we really are, etc..... We also usually find out what we're really good at (technology, art, woodworking, etc....) For me, school will start on September 2nd, and I'm actually pretty decently excited.  My school will have a new principal,  and my district will have a new superintendent who's already upda

I'm still trying to make up for all the weeks of blog posts I missed, and I figured this could be one. So, enjoy the pictures and commentary as I reminiscence about my 4 weeks total at camp this Summer.  There will be some more pictures popping up in the future once they come into my e-mail inbox. The Green Gables was my home for a week this year, and it was probably the best cabin I had this year as a counselor.  4/5 kids knew each other, so that might've helped too as they welcomed the odd man out in with open arms, which I didn't expect at all.                                                                                                                   The guy that's in both pictures is a counselor who always loves to have fun at camp.  To do this, he dresses up like in the pics, holds competitions such as the "He-Man Swim", and play pranks on other campers/counselors.  I was one of the campers in his cabin the week that the bottom picture
