To the Strobist we will go.

Take Him Down Jay, originally uploaded by Roldie.

This begins my journey into the off camera strobe. I've learn throught the Strobist website and kenrockwell.com that I can trigger my Nikon SB-600 Speedlight with my D80 wirelessly. Now I am more interested it pulling off strobist type photographs.

More of to come in the future.

Through the Rise of Roldie and the Fall of Lt. Spam :
My Return

Snoopy Art Work at the Venetian, originally uploaded by Roldie.

I went out on a photo trip today, if that's what you want to call it. It always seems that when I decide to go out to take some photos I always go to the Bellagio first. But on the way there I saw that the new Palazzo (hotel/casino whatever it is) building was open. So after the Bellagio I went there to check it out. It a beautiful place. Better than the Wynn I think.

I messing around with all the compensation and bracketing settings when I was trying to take photos of the water show. So when I got to the other places I forgot to change them back. So almost all my the photos I took look underexposed. It was all most a bust. Live and Learn, I guess.

I have decide to drop the Lt. Spam title. I'm not really a LT., but I do still like spam so that's a keeper. I'll still be Lord Spam on somethings but I rather use a part of my real name on this blog. After all this blog is about my Photography adventures and myself. Full post here.

It's time I sign off. Holler for me. Full post here.

Stupid electornics.

My fucking Ipod is being a bitch. It froze up on me. This is the second time this happen. I fucking hate this shit. I want to listen to music and the fucking thing doesn't even work.

I really want the new nikon D80. I palyed with it at Curcuit City. It's fucking awesome.

My Photo got pulished on this internet magazine. That's cool. I give you a link but I'm to lazy right now. So there.

Peace. Full post here.

My foot hurts.

My fucking right foot hurts. I think it's gaout or some shit. Last week it was the left foot. Stupid feet, I should just cut them off. I could barely walk. I going to the Doctor tomorrow. I hate Doctors (there's no reason.)

I bought a new chair. It's the coolest thing ever. (Not really, I just got nothing else to say.)

Here's a picture.

Just another update.

I had some fun last week. I went to this place called the "freakin' frog" by the university. It's was a remodeling party with free beer (that's the main reason I went.) So the whole plan was to expand the place by knocking down this wall. What better way to knock down a wall for free is to give people free drinks. Drunk people swinging a sledge hammer at a wall that never did no harm to anyone equal good times.

Also went to PT's the last two monday without The Captain. It was interesting. Josh show up, you know, it's the guy in all the PT's story. It was all cool though. We didn't stay out that late. It was just a little wierd that's all.

I can't think of anything else to say. So later. Full post here.

The Captain lefted today.

One of my very good friends left for D.C. today.

let me tell you the story.

About a month or so ago The Captain got denied for his transfer to D.C. area. He got fed up of waiting and put his two weeks in.

On Saturday was the going away party. We had some fun as always. Bunch of people show up. Half of them I didn't even know. It's all good though. It's good to see that there is a lot of people that like The Captain. Who woundn't right? Got a good buzz going and was feeling nice. I think The Captain felt the same.

On Sunday is the day I usally pick up The Man himself to go to work. But last Thursday was his last day at work so I didn't. I did find myself going the same way to to drop him off though. It's wierd, I caught myself and was like "dude, I have to go to T2 and shit." Not much to that.

Monday night (really Tuesday morning.)
Tae and myself had our last drinks at P.T. on dollar draft night around 3:30 yesterday morning with The Captain. I dropped him off at his house at 4 something. We said our good byes (actually only said "see you later" with our usally ending word of "holler.")

Now he's gone. I've been asking myself "what am I going to do now?" It's like a part of my life is done. No one can drink like us. I can't find a replacement drinking buddy. That's wrong. It's been for a while "The Captain and Spam" together. I always go out at night with him. My stories always involve him.

I'm just down that he left. But I'm happy that his doing what he wants to do.

It's not like I'm not going to see him again. I'll go to Washington D.C. (I've never been.) Me and Tae are going to crash the party that The Captain and Nino Crevasa is having. Party like old times.

Later Bitches.

P.S.
This made me feel better. Full post here.

One Boring Day.

So Today I didn't do much. I was awaken by my father phone call around noon, telling me to go down stairs and eat. Doesn't he know I went to sleep at almost 5:00 am in the morning. Never the less after about ten more minutes of sleep I went down there look around and went back up stair. I started to mess with my laptop (which I'm still on by the way.) I put music match on it because I think that the best program for music organiznation. After that I started to make copies of albums for people that I said I'd do. Around 1:30 pm I finish my sister CD's and decide to wake her up. We ate some breakfast/lunch together while our father saying why didn't you eat earlier. He was cooking something and I guess we were in his way. After that My sister and I went to see our mother. She'll doing okay I think. Then I dropped my sister off at work and since I was there I went the sign my OPM. Went home and started burning more CD's. I said I send Ed something. So, after I made him a Mixtape (which I entitle "song on a Mixtape Vol. I,") I wrote him a letter. after I wrote the letter I re-wrote the letter because my handwriting looks like shit. that didn't take to long. When I was finished with that I upload some pictures/photos on my Flickr account. Now I'm doing this blog. Pretty uneventful day. The home life I call it.

The other day was the Captain Birthday. I took him out and we had some fun. I'll just say one word "Titties." On his birthday I bought a album for myself. remember a while back when I said there was this band playing on the radio in Hot Topic at the Fashion Show Mall. No you don't remember. Then you weren't listening. Now get that finger out of your nose or ass and pay attention. You can look at Porn later.I thought the name the of the band of dragon Fire or something. I almost given up hope on find them until one night I was on Myspace and heard some awesome music on my friend Rockit Ron page. It was DragonForce. Anyway, I bought the album and it kick ass. It's so fucking awesome that I can't stop listen to them. Crazy!!

I've been watching a bunch of videos on youtube.com a lot lately. I found some video of the kids from Guam. Sex Bomb or some shit. It's fucking funny. I wish I thought of that shit. fuckin' kids now a days take all the good shit. keep it up bitches. Make me laugh.

Holler. Full post here.

My thoughts at T2

Yet again I'm writing this blog at T2, where there is nothing to do. I can't write much because my break ends in fifteen mintues. Anyway the Vegas Crew got back from San Diego on sunday. It was pretty fun out there. We went to Mexico and it's crazy out there. All the Taxi driver are nuts. The clubs are insane and the beer is cheap. I'll be going back someday. In San Diego, We went to hit the bars in downtown and it was cool. Reminded us of the strip in Vegas though. Lots of hot chick-a-dees.

It will be sometime before I go out of state again. I have money issues (or a lack there of.) I'll try and go back to Guam in April of next year. That will be my main goal. The next on the list to do is get the fuck out of these apartment complexs. I said that about four years ago but I I'm serious. I just have to save a lot of money.
That means no going out every night and drinking til the sun comes up.

I have to be smart. Only buy things that I really need and stuff that I can afford.
I have to cut down on all the DVD's and shit. Full post here.

Movie Watching fool

I been watch a lot of movies lately. So, today I watch Clerks II. When I watched the movie it made me feel the same way I felt when i watched the first Clerks back in 1996. It was funny and it made me think about thing. Jay and Silent Bob were great, Dontae and Radall made the movie. The whole feel of the movie was warm, if that makes any sense. All in all, I thinks it's a great movie and I wouldn't mine watching it again and again. Kevin Smith (in my opinion) is the best writer/director in the bussines today. Clerks II will be part of my DVD/Movies collection.

Yesterday I watched Waist Deep. It's okay. Everything in the movie was expected. I wasn't surprised with anything in it. It's an okay movie though.

That wasn't the biggest story that happen yesterday. I went to Target and when I was leaving I saw this dude try to take this women purse. The Dude didn't get the women purse and jumped in a waiting SUV and it sped off. That totally suck ass. What is up with the world today? People can't even go the Target to get some toilet paper anymore without someone trying to grab your shit. By the way, if you're asking why I didn't help. I was already in my car driving off. what do you want me to do run over the guy or ram the SUV. Maybe I should've jumped out of my car and chased after the SUV. Climb on top some how, break the window out and pulled the driver out. Then go in throught the window and (while driving the car) kick the ass of the Dude that try to take the purse (with my right hand mine you.) If it happen right in front of me I think I would have done something. I really don't know. It's never happen before.

That's all for now bitches.

Later Full post here.

I'm need to do something

I need to do a few things:

• Bring that thing to Ron's Nephew.
  
• Make a Mix tape (Cd) for Ed and send it to him.
  
• Clean my room. (it's fuck messy.)
  
• Save money.
  
• Take more picture and put them on my Flickr account
  

that's all I can think of right now.
dude I got disapproved for my days to go to San Diego. I already fix that, I told them that I had a family reunion/Wedding to go to and I already bought the tickets. I didn't even have to show them the tickets, they just approved it.

On another news, My feelings for Myspace is not that bad right now. I don't hate it as much but I'm still not going to post anymore blogs on there.

Later che'lu Full post here.

I'm going on a trip.

Yeah, The Captain, Tae, and I are going to San Diego. It's good to get out of town even for a couple of days. It'll be the first time that I ever been to that part of Califonia. It will also be for the first time that Deontae came with us.
Were going to have some fun. Yeah boy.

Did you guys know that Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man Chest made $136 million in it's first three days of it's opening. I contributed to that. I saw it on the first day it came out. I went to see the 5:50 pm show but that was sold out. So I had to see the 6:30 pm show and that was packed. I don't like crowds in a threater that why I go to the early shows. (That and it's cheaper.)

that's all for now

Peace. Full post here.

I put a change in.

I put in my shift change request for work today. I asked for four 10 hour days with Mon/Tues/Wed. I just want to go back to what I'm used to. It'll be better for everybody. Full post here.
