So It’s Like That? LOL! WOW!

Alright, So The Other day My sister was at a friends party where she spotted a guy who failed at dating her a few years ago.  I’ll call him John Doe from this point on…   Well…  Here’s what Happened … They spoke to one another.  John Doe Decided to ask her Why did they stop conversing so abruptly.  She implied “you should know why, Infact, you tell me why it didn’t work out” ….

John Doe Replied .. “I Know Why… You Brother must’ve told you something about me messing with lil girls. It wasn’t even like that”    <--- LOL But That’s the TRUE part.. He Also Said “ What had happened was, Me and your brother Got in to It because We were messing with the Same Chick from TSU and --” <=== LOL! THATS TOTALLY FALSE .. I Guess he had to make something up to make him look good.  I’ll explain later. At this Point though my sister cut him off saying “Who Bethany?, cause i still consider her my in Law”  because she knows Bethany didn’t go to TSU… He replied “That Girl came at me first”  …  after trying to clear his name their conversation ended…

…AND I THINK ITS FUNNY!…

See. A few years ago.. 2006 to be exact. It was when  John Doe Confronted me about something I and many others on the site were discussing about him.. It had nothing to do with Bethany.. It was just that he was Messing with Teenage girls. at that particular time he was dating a college freshman. he was in his mid to late 20’s at that time, and She’s the one who told him how we were joking about him doing what he was doing… Well hey it was true.

I think its funny that he would even reveal all of that to my sister though. it’s probably because he had assumed the whole time that i had informed my sister… Now Just imagine if I wouldn’t have.. She would have gotten the shock of her life at that party, Right!? LOL

Funny that he had to make up the TSU girl thing. because I was never involved with anyone at TSU. and the 2 girls that i socialized with to on average was Ashley and Jerm my other friends were In Louisiana and I still converse with the same 4 females on average, none on “That Level” .. These chicks all actually helped me to cope with The Breakup that i had recently went through.. Nothing like Beautiful women being there when you need them ..LOL!

I know that had nothing to do with anything but I just had to make it clear… LOL  Don’t Think I’m NOT going to warn my sister about Something that I know Before she gets into any kind of relationship…LOL. The funny thing is.  It was like 2007, 08 and he used to come online Trying hard to play me.  yet at the same time he was trying to get with my sister and GOT PLAYED! .. Why? Because She was Annoyed with how he presented himself to her…  BAM!! THAT had NOTHING to do with What I Told her…

But since he had it on his mind he just had to reveal it all.. and now I’m sitting here Blogging because my sister told me .. (duh) .. But All in all.. I THINK ITS FUNNY!!

I’ll End This Here

Note From The Book

And Just Like That… It’s Gone

The Best thing about this whole thing is that In the end, I win.  I need a Victory song..

Swift Like NEO

Today, They tried to come hard, so hard the phony admin deleted me from the group Twice.. I think it’s funny because the Jump man or what ever his name is was also mysteriously deleted and he came back...  They came hard, no lie.. they even got others involved but I came at them like Verbal Kent avoiding and countering their insults, Now they’re calling me a Super Hero.. LOL

I was Eventually messaged by a group admin asking if i wanted him to be ejected. I told him no . but when I make the call, delete his post along with in.. because at the end of the day they’re not attacking a band, they’re attacking me personally.  What’s funny about it is that is that I know  for sure who they are now.. well at least just about.. but I wont expose them because that’s not my forte.

They haven’t said anything since they put me back in. but I think it’s funny because They’re getting ready to be ejected.  you can’t expose me for who I am when I know that You’re Not who you claim to be. LOL

The Funny thing is.. They think I'm begging to stay in the group.. man them boys let me in because we all cool. But he doesn’t know that i know these cats. I’m way before their time. they can’t break The Book! LOL

The Glitch Within The Matrix is That I Am In Control….

It's A Monster For Ya

LOL Trying to Put me on the spot but I tackled it right away. No doubt they got me with the random jokes but aside from that I got the Win in the end. All I had to do was Ignore the opposition and embark on a moment of truth. and Magically the thread disappeared.

There are a few fake accounts in the Uncut Group. One of them I had a bone to pick with due to its level of disruptiveness among members. I’ll just call this one “MJ” why? those are the phony initials of the phony account. Here’s what went down in the group. My Boy from The Ocean made a thread.. and when he started to get picked on. i came in to tell him to Avoid them because It’s a Glitch Within The Matrix…
Eventually They jumped on me asking me when did i march. basically trying to use the fact that I didn’t complete a full season against me. LOL for me, that's easy to brush off simply because Everybody who knows me knows the reason i didn’t complete… MJ on the other hand is not supposed to know who I am he;s not even connected to me on Facebook .. and according to his profile… he’s somebody i don’t know or cant identify with personally.. No Profile pic or anything.. Prime Example of Anonymous..lol.. Therefore I was able to counter it with something He wouldn’t like..

The Thing is…Mentioning The Glitch within the Matrix was obvious to them.. as it was obvious to me.. I basically asked them to prove themselves or they wont be taken seriously…
Truth: The admins in Their Orgs group haven't accepted The MJ and J-man Accounts because nobody can vouch for them within their org group. MJ and Jag-Man know this because their true identities have access to their orgs group. So they’re trying to avoid being put on the spot by their own folks ..

…. So with myself Coming Back on them Questioning them about their identities They avoided it by saying obvious things because they Know I got power at bandhead,org
…Saying things like “i bet u want to delete this but u can’t” … LOL being sarcastic I invited them to the bandhead. LOL! ...in the end. They Declined saying they refuse to be censored CRAZY! LOL…at this point it Looks Like The thread has been deleted. maybe they don’t want those accounts to get ejected from the group.

The Thing is …You can’t Expose Me for what i did or didn't do. if you can’t prove your own identity within an org.

LOL Jokes on you… but I won’t mention it. It’s all in good fun…
For Me.. That was a Win in my book. HAHA!

Keyser Soze Moment!

After a whole lot of Tweeting….

I Write Here…

And …aside from CM Punk Randomly Showing up on RAW  with the REAL championship belt at the end of the Rey Vs Cena Match…  I’m Slightly upset about Windows Live Essentials Movie Maker and its incompatibility with the codec i have on my PC.

I Assumed it was a registry issue so I uninstalled the whole thing over night. did a registry fix and then reinstalled it… I got nothing… No changes. Window Live Movie Maker still doesn’t load videos and crashes on me. i don’t have a clue what the reason is.. i may have to resort to  My copy of  Roxio Videowave for all my video editing needs

I guess the problem is to blame 100% on faulty codecs.

Here’s What I’m Doing

• I just got word that my Alma Mater’s being torn down this week, …Our Heritage Will Live..
• So Far, Nothing Yet from the Wolfpack!
• I’m currently uploading old videos from 2010’s parade season
  The Sad Part is that i still got a complaint from somebody that didn't see his band.. i’m like dude. Wait your turn! LOL
• Obviously his band wasn’t on the clip yet he figured they were going to be in there somewhere.. smh..lol
• I was watching some old WWE & WCW clips just to refresh my memory and as well as to see some new junk i hadn’t seen such as the USWA footage from The Rock’s years.
• What’s funny is… Flex Kavana, The Rock… Back in the day i didn’t know that was the same person. It’s crazy because that was mid 90’s TV but it looked extremely lower budget.
• Controversy In Wrestling is Wild to me.. I think alot of this stuff going on now is  maybe 80% Kayfabe.  I don’t need to get in to detail on that..other than the fact that It seems like It’s an uprising of a New Attitude Era in WWE.. Great things ahead..

That’s All I have for now…

Getting it in… Listening to Music

Sitting here listening to Music and Messing with the folks on the band group. Great time. These cats are wild. I love this stuff!.  I  think its funny that folks who are going up against the SU folks have nothing hardcore to come at them with and they’re getting Smacked twice as hard.I’m really not a smacker. I’m just a One shot and done kinda cat when it comes to smack. but i know where to get them at. 

No Doubt they weren’t smacking on TSU or anything or myself at all but it’s boring when everything’s one sided. especially when they do like a 30 minute raid and leave at once.  I had to get some in on a few bands.. Why not target those who do it the most. LOL

The Sad part is that their targets get mad seriously. I swear i just got off the phone with somebody who was upset about how rowdy the SU cats are. lol.. I don't care SMACK BACK!!… Stop Whining!  It’s all fun and games to me. they can come with it kinds of ways but it’s pretty easy to smack back.. like ole dude from pine bluff went in on The Ocean hard with his Logic and Objective…  I had to say something.. LOL!

The Problem is that everybody’s not a good smacker.. I have my fail moments. but at least mine have reasoning…lol  These other cats are repeat smackers.. when it gets old. it’s done with.. you got to keep it fresh.. My Smack is Universal so it’s got to be different every time…

As for now, I’m just waiting for them to dig in on me… I invited somebody purposely because I know he wants to smack on me.. but i can get him easy. there are other folks at least from what I see are going to come at me for the wrestling videos i have..I may have to hide them suckas LOL! ..

Aside from that they can  easily get at me for stuff that everybody would know such as my character and persona whether offline or online.  and things like taking pictures/video, my encounters with dancers, past arguments, following bands i didn't march for and my hair… easy stuff to counter. Seems like the marked me as on the List as the Public Enemy #1 LOL! 

Hey I’m SBI and them cats know i’m bound to have some crazy smack ..LOL!

It’s all in good fun…LOL!

Shout out to Journey!

Just an Observation

I realize how selfish folks could be. I’m glad I'm not that way. at the same time I think i should be. because I’m always looking out for folks. or doing something for free… That’s going to end soon. … But that’s not what this is about.  Technically it’s about Getting Over. thinking I’m blinded by what’s going on. .. Nah.. I myself just let things happen and I go with the flow from there.  Doesn’t sound like much but I’m pushing it…

at this point I’m about to hit the Hay…

Well Hey, It’s Practice anyway, Right?

After Fooling around with  I see that  I’ll have to figure some things out and eventually get these shots as I want them. aside from I don’t care for editing photos because I like them mainly in their natural state. otherwise you’re giving somebody a phony product. and after experiencing with with crazy edits in the past. I know my best bet is to stick to the natural light. with minor enhancements if really needed.

I’ve gotten some mixed reviews so far. and I’m good with that because in due time I’ll be great at this. For Me,  With each shot I learn something new. It’s more to it than taking a picture of something or someone. in my mind its about capturing the nature of what ever it is I’m shooting.   My goal is to make you feel it… I want you to live or relive the moment.. I won’t be 100% happy with my own photography until I feel like I’m feeding the viewer something that they love.

I talked to my buddy Ashley yesterday, telling her that I don’t necessarily have an eye for photographic moments or photogenic subjects. but I do have an idea of what works for me and what people who understand the subject may like.

The Learning Process Never Ends…

Note From The Book

NOW I KNOW! | Raw Files Have Their Pros!

After analyzing the files in RAW, I realize that after Converting them to Jpeg that The quality was changed to what Jpeg can handle in color depth and some other things. The Raw File’s Quality was greater but there was no way to edit it.  I myself being dumb had a trial and error moment trying to find files that could convert the RAW files or CR2/CRW files as well as view them in Windows.

I’ve both Installed and uninstalled converters  only to find that the software that came with the camera had was able to convert the file.  Otherwise my editing would have been limited to just those canon programs.  Now that I’ve gotten it right. I’m good.  I still will likely shoot in Jpeg due to  the fact that what I shoot is constantly moving and the number of shots matter just as much as the quality.

My Raw Files now sit unedited which is a great thing. now all I need to do is remove a plug in that was technically unnecessary.  I hope they like the pics.. That’s all I have to say to that.

Now That I’ve Experienced With Shooting In RAW

I now know WHEN to Use that setting. While on the trip to Baton Rouge, I set my Camera to shoot in the RAW format.  Then I realized that the camera saves the file at a slower speed than shooting in Jpeg. no matter how I set my exposure or exposure mode. The whole time out there i had actually forgot that I was shooting in Raw. which is not a good thing. so now I know. and Knowing is half the battle.

Later on today, I’ll be uploading those files and possibly converting them to Jpeg while saving the raw files. Hopefully they’ll be good enough for me. Aside from that, Same as I mentioned last time. the Conditions was also a factor in why i chose not to take so many pictures.  The only thing the RAW processing impacting was the amount of pictures i was able to take During fast paced movements.  but I’m good because I know the quality of those pictures are going to come out  exactly as the file type says they are… RAW!

I cleaned my lenses today. those conditions were horrible man. I have to figure out how to not have that happen. I also need to invest in a new back pack that would fit most of my Stuff in with better padding. because holding all this equipment in a small duffle bag with no padding has its cons.

Sore

Yesterday I had a great time at the battle, working under some crazy conditions. also having to bend over the counter in the press box to get a great show view.  It was so hot in that thing that I was sweating super-bricks.  i wanted to take a lot more pictures, but due to the conditions it hindered my shots. I'll have to clean both my lenses tomorrow.

We went to McDonalds afterwards, I couldn’t eat. mainly because i needed more fluids in my system I had a high C and a refill. after that i was fine. i couldn’t finish my meal though that sucked. Eventually I just stopped snapping pictures because my camera wasn’t having it. Hopefully I’ll be able to get them pics up early tomorrow. after i do that, then I'll see about it cleaning them lenses. lol

I hope my pic’s are straight so they dancers could see how they looked LOL!

I think i missed somebody too .. that’s all i have to say to it… LOL!

Overall I had a good time.. I need to go look for them Q-tips….

Gotta Make It Happen.

Yesterday I listened to my music most of the day. My Sister’s Ex’s family had a reunion  this week so they came to visit. i think that was cool of them.

I talking to my brother about working. Its wild because i found a a place here that would probably accept what I've done. I I’ll attempt at getting with them soon and hopefully be able to stick with it. I wonder if i go will they let me go to Africa… I’m just saying that because I don’t want to have to quit. I still have to get my passport. Time is running short. 4 months man really. I got things i need to get done. a whole lot, and  time i act on upon it all.

That’s What I’m saying

Things seem to be coming in my direction in a positive way. I may end up in the 9th ward. but for a good reason. I was just looking for what I used to do and found it. Now i need to Create and Go Get it! Hopefully It’ll work.

Other than that At this point I’m going to watch…. because i see some things that are there and shouldn’t be. I also am getting feedback that is wanted.  I might as well take a nap now. I’m listening to music now. and im drowsy.. i might as well take it to sleep…

When Booger Met Snotty

one of my favorite scenes from Revenge of the Nerds 2

I Swear man, I’m gonna have to Double Download

When It comes to these pics and saving them, I’ll have to Double Up because folks in this household feel the need to tamper with my pictures. I didn’t authorize the brightening of my pictures I don’t care who wants to see them printed.  The pics she brightened are now all dull and there are no other pictures of the original smh.

And aside from that. all the extra flipping of the pictures and things. are just taking a toll on the original quality of these pics. I’m not neccesarily Angry but it ticked off because of it. because I KNOW these pics didn’t look so “Bright” when I took them. smh. 

This lady messed up my pics!!!

Man, I’m on here posting vacation pics and I realize that most of them were brighter than I took them. basically my mom brightened these pictures up I guess in hopes that they print “lighter” .. No THEY PRINTED DULL! and I told her that the prints looked dull  when I saw them… She didn’t mention that she brightened them.

Now im posting them to my Facebook and I see how BRIGHT they appear to be. This is messing ME UP! .. smh..

Watching that SMOKEY Footage!

HAHAHA! man, Bayou Blowout The Official! I wish i could have been there, but this is GREAT!..it looks pretty good.  sounds good. I just got through the practices. I may need to get Franks too. i think his compression level is low gotta set that higher. Other than that.. MAN THE BAND WAS DECENT! maybe not at its greatest but the selections are nice. the band did pretty well.

…LOL HUMB looks good!… Gizmo was repped out! lol great things coming from that band.. dude has his tenor drum up “Right” too.. he gotta be from N.O…. lol
HAHA GREAT FOOTAGE!! AHHHH!!!…

I missed out on all that Dance action but im gonna sit here and ENJOY IT! lol AHH!!

Getting Familiar with Google+

I was Invited to Google+ this morning and all i can say to it is that it’s interesting. while getting acquainted with how it works I thought to myself hoping that it won’t fail. It has a smooth look and feel to it. It’s pretty much Google’s facebook. I hope it takes off and does well. 

Let’s just hope it isn’t misused by the evils of the universe! ..lol

300 prints and I'm good

Today While printing photos for my aunt, I came to a realization of how easy it would be to make sales from my photography. After buying the needed materials and rounding it off.I came up with a simple, yet effective cost for event photography. I may have to substitute certain costs based on the Medium though, Otherwise I’ll have to generalize these prices based off time, cost of materials as well as amount of photos to take, print, write to cd, slideshows etc.

Normally I tell folks that the price depends on what they want. and it’s true, but now after sitting there printing. now i can give them the option  rather than have them tell me what they want.  Asking them what they want is cool. but having the set price make it much easier on me. Their only option would either be to accept or deny. if they deny,  at that point it’s their loss.

Still working it up.  Still got to start my portfolio.

I missed it all

Man, I got word that the battle was great! seems like alot of folks went. My Former HS Directors was in attendance so was the former director of the Music Dept. Ms. Sloan. I guess this all was a good thing. because without her the original public school all stars wouldn’t have been possible…. I see it as some what of a continuation.

Man,  should have taken a ride with somebody to Reed but i couldn’t make it which is kind of Ironic due to the fact that last time we went to Houston we went on one bus. that’s all they had this time and hey, i didn’t help pay for one. so me not attending isn’t really a big deal. Looks like the footage will take a while to get online though.

There are already clips up!. I think that’s great. Prior to resting earlier i informed a few people that I wasn't going.  They thought i was lying.. LOL! I was supposed to give Alex His CD. Tomorrow Im going to have to go sight seeing I just may take a walk and start snapping pictures or something. I got to get my photo game up!  I’m really enjoying this camera though.

What’s wild about the whole thing is the arguments surrounding the last battle. I hope them cats can get over that. … Memphis.. smh ..lol they all want to be heard but can’t don’t have the ears to hear.

Hitting The Road In A Few Hours

I’ll be on my way to Houston today with the band, I hope I get some good pictures in. I haven’t been to Houston in a little over a year. yet to even set foot on TxSU’s campus. hopefully I'll be able to do just that.  I haven’t slept in hours. but I was up all night so I think i’ll be good at least for about 6 more hours b4 i need an energy drink or something.. (not that i’m depending on it)  but that should be one of the few things that keeps me up.  I got folks who are on their way already too.

Lets hope we can make this happen!…

Sittin’ Here…

Due to my bad sleeping habits, I woke up at like 9. after Smackdown when I REALLY WANATED TO SEE IT!!.. and suddenly I’m hit up in a message. the band needs a bus!.. I know somebody but I doubt he’s online. so I left him my number saying that I need a bus by 9:30 to Houston ASAP!. and well.. that’s that. at this point. I have no clue what to do. 

From what I hear, folks are driving there as well. which is a great thing. but it seems as though this is another one of those moments in time that are repeating themselves. I know this time there will be no ralph situation. but that 1 bus thing is kinda “out there” the folks who paid should ride the bus though. I didn’t and should have. because i did take the trip last time.  I’ll have to up some money in this case if alfed pulls through.

I really won’t be able to go back to sleep. it would be nice to rent a van or something! lol. we gotta carpool in this thing tomorrow. this is wild to me…

Busy getting Things done

Saturday, Baton Rouge. I’ll be with the NOAASB once again taking photo’s for the most part while recording SOME things.  I still have footage to put up. folks are begging me. but that’s on delay due to photo duty which is technically also on delay due to my inability  to sleep.

I Just joined a Nikon D3000 Give-Away.  at “Make Use Of” it’ll be great if I win. I visit that site from time to time. It sure would be great to win a new camera. Or a Light even.  I’m still getting the hang of this Photo Stuff. with every shot, it’s trial and error. i’m not great at it but I’m decent.

Speaking of that. I have to get the money from my aunt  so that I can start getting her photos developed. I may end up putting them in Walgreens photo lab. aint nothing wrong with that. I may have to go over there and work in that department. really! LOL

While at my aunt’s  I met a guy who’s technically a rapper he wanted me to take pics at his party. He asked how much I charge. I told him It depends on the event. the wild part after that is, my cousin John said he wanted pics taken with him and his girl.  he was just like “you got to start charging em, stop doing stuff for free.” .. and i feel him. I’m gonna  make it happen soon!.

I NEED TO START TAXING’EM ALL! lol

Aside from that, I still have footage I need to upload. Folks are tripping about not seeing themselves. smh..  with the clips already up along with the event taking place. there’s  Drama Drama and More Drama. it’s crazy!. after looking at myself on camera. I realize that i’m shaped like a house!. terrible!.

We got Donuts in here! Krispy Kream. I rarely eat those. they’re great!.  It was something that I wanted to mention here. I’ll probably do that later though..

Out..

I Gotta do this more often

Being that I’ve had Facebook and now Twitter to occupy my time. I don’t blog as much as i used to. I just seem to do it when I need to remove something from my head. Well I think I’m about to get back to basics. I started blogging Pre-Social Networking Boom. I’d blog every day, even if it was small talk or pure nonsense. I’ve been using Twitter for that and it’s caused me to practice bad writing habits. Not with necessarily short handed Spelling. But writing in fragments. 

Blogging on the other hand has forced me to take time and write as correctly as i can. The sad part is. I still ain’t good at it, I just do it.  Man I gotta get these things off ground…  I’m done with this entry..

4:50 and I haven’t slept yet

Happy Independence Day Folks! Although I should be sleeping. I’m Wide Up!
Today I’m going by my Aunt’s house to celebrate the holiday. as well as to Take Photos. Hopefully this will be a good one. She Invited EVERYBODY so hopefully i’ll have somewhere to sit down. LOL!. I should try cleaning my lenses before the day is over.

Yesterday I had a great time at the battle in Jackson. Saw alot of people I know and met. Now the drama’s begun. LOL! but it’s all good. that’s how it’s supposed to be. when it comes to band, bragging rights are a big deal.

The bands were great. The Crowd was DEAD! LOL! J-State heads! lol Kinda funny!

All in all I had a good time. I’ll probably post some pics on here later

Today I’ll Be In Jackson

Today, I’ll be in Jackson with the Alumni Band. They had an event last but I wasn’t able to go. people are questioning the bands size due to the clips that were posted last night.  Some think it’s phony, as if they’re bigger than that.  They Keep asking me but I’ve never been to the practices so I personally wouldn’t have a clue.  That is until today.

The crazy part about that is, somebody’s supposed to be coming to get a password reset on a pc. I think she said it was a mini. so I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it.  Hopefully she’ll come early because if not I’m leaving at 10. I tried to tell her come Sunday but she insisted. lol I hope I'm able to access that sucka in safe mode if it doesn’t have a DVD drive. 

For Now. I’m off. I’ll probably call The G Man and ask if he’ll be there.
