The DJ Rollie D Story

Just a little humor for your Monday. "Creeping is fun!"- Lily Wanninger "Sleep tight British children, your nightlights are lit by ghosts!"-Seth Meyers "I'm a man, but I can change.  If I have to, I guess."- Red Green "This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the pop tart.  It's the breakfast of kids who's parents are in WAY over their heads!"- Colin Jost Hope these made you smile!

Doctor Who returned on August 23rd after an almost nine-month absence.  And with it came a new Doctor, new adventure, and new emotions.  The new doctor, Peter Capaldi, is a Scottish man in his fifties who becomes the oldest man to play The Doctor since the show returned in 2005.  His doctor is a little bit detached from reality, and is trying to come to his senses once again.  He also looks to be more of a friend towards his companion than a love partner, which is ten times better anyways because who wants to see a show as magnificent as Doctor Who clogged up by relationships?  This is why I dislike David Tennant so much from what I've seen so far of his work. Here are the things I liked about the premiere episode Deep Breath, which is the only episode I've seen so far.....  I have the other five recorded to watch at some point in the near future (hopefully) In the opening minutes of the episode, we don't go straight back into the TARDIS like in the l...

The fortieth season of NBC sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live kicks off tomorrow with host Chris Pratt, who I haven't seen in any movies yet, and musical guest Ariana Grande, who I'm not a fan of, which is really is the story with most of the show's musical guests.  What really excites me about this season though is the number of changes coming.  We have a new announcer in the form of former cast member Darrell Hammond, who regularly subbed in for the late Don Pardo when he was sick.  Word as of now is that Hammond will be announcing the cast member's names complete with a new title sequence to honor Pardo.  I'm always open to change so this should be interesting. Next, we have two male Weekend Update co-anchors in Colin Jost and Michael Che.  I've always wondered what this segment would be like with two male anchors, and as of tomorrow at about 11:15 pm Central Time we will know.  Lastly, the cast is smaller.  There were too many pe...

As of today I'm the official announcer for the Cherry football team! My debut will be at tomorrow night's game and I'm hyper with excitement. I have done announcing work in the school before, introducing Cherry audiences to basketball teams, but football always has a larger audience, especially here. Thank you to whoever made the decision to pass this job to me. I promise to make it my own,  and not copy those I've heard before me. On that note it seems that every time I lose out on something interesting, something better comes along. I lost out on Blood Drive Planning and then I got to sign up for IRYA's volunteer DJ service and then this came as a complete surprise to me this morning. Work has started on the story again as well. Still looking for more characters. Drop me a comment if you're in!

I am a drummer.  Not necessarily a professional one as there's still lots of practice I can get, but I am quite a bit better than what I sounded like around say... 4 years ago when I started dinking around with them in 2010 at my school, and of course way better than when I got my first set from First Act as a Christmas present from my parents in 2004 or 2005.  It's like a transformation going from a kit that can only make 8 sounds or so to one that can easily make 200+ I've had this kit for about a year now, and I'm loving it!  Some of you may ask why I chose the drums over something more conventional like piano or guitar. The reason being I just enjoy all the different sounds drums make because you can play at different speeds and with many different methods.   Of course most of you haven't seen me drum ever, and that's because of a few reasons I usually played other percussion instruments at school concerts due to the fact that the other...

Thirteen years ago today tragedy struck the lives of many in New York City and across the United States. I still don't understand how a large terrorist organization such as Al Qaeda decided that killing 3K people would be the best way to instill fear in our hearts. What followed however also killed many people, and led to George W. Bush becoming one of the least liked Presidents ever. The War on Terror in my opinion was a complete waste of time and I think this different approach President Obama is taking with ISIS will have a much better impact. We will never forget 9/11 until the day we die.

My birthday is on Tuesday, and as I'm writing this post I'm thinking about the year I just had, and saying "WOW!"  So much has changed in my life, and I've met lots of new people.  I now have a full part-time job as well as the basketball and football managing and DJing.  I got behind a microphone in more places besides at somebody's wedding reception, and deepened my public speaking skills and spiritual knowledge.  I've also been to several places and did things I've never done before.  Lastly, I was invited onto Generation W's staff today so that's another plus! Turning seventeen doesn't really bring any significant priveledges with it except for that I can now get into and buy R-Rated Movies, but that's ok.  The priveleges 18-year olds get don't thrill me all too much anyways sans the fact that I'll legally be able to live on my own, which means I can go anywhere for college! YAY! As for the awesome people I've me...

So, this first week back to school has been quite the busy one. I've dove into several college classes, unpacked the Student Council Room that's still more or less a mess until the cabinets are attached to the wall and boxes can be put in there, and started Spanish I quite obviously a few years later than I should've in the first place. Around that I've still been working at Walmart and managing Football. For some reason I just love keeping busy, although the one downside is that I have yet to make a volleyball game. I'll get there eventually....... On Wednesday our class advisors took names down for the Prom 2015 Committee. I debated back and forth over whether or not to sign up before a girl wrote my name down for me. It's basically myself and then two or three groups that may or may not clash in terms of ideas. I hope we get a good prom that everyone can enjoy rather than just a select group. Of course, Prom sends everyone into a frenzy over dresses and tux...

Do you ever meet people from far away and just wish that you and all your nearby friends lived in the same city?  I'm willing to bet that if most of us took everyone we've ever met and put them all together living within the same city limits, it'd be a pretty big place right with a population in upwards of a million or two million. But then let's reverse a little bit of that and assume we're only talking about the people you know from a certain place, I'm going to use the State Student Council Convention as an example, which had about 500 kids total attending it, which may seem huge when you're all inside an auditorium, but in reality, you'd have a pretty small city that'd technically be classified as a town because the population isn't big enough. Now, I'd love to live in the same city with all the people from NED, Storybook, School, College (once I get there of course), and the State Student Council Convention, which would make for a...
