No this is not “Betsy” my RV. This is just a frightening reminder of how bad things could get. Given all the mistakes I have made and the opportunities I have let slip away… it definitely could be a lot worse.
The Road Bandit Project is the hardest thing I have ever tried to do in my life. I feel like a failure that hasn’t truly failed yet. So much potential lies ahead, only problem is, I’m not moving forward.
Two nights ago I was hired to run audio for a live interview for HBO Sports. The interview was at Floyd Mayweather Jr’s home in Las Vegas. We were only going to be on-air for about four minutes but had to show up there six hours before the hit time. Let me tell ya being the undefeated welterweight champion of the world allows you to have one badass house.
Bird and I have had hours of conversations, big time debates that last all through the night, and finally we have come to an agreement…RoadBandit.com needs Sponsorship.
Whats weird about naming my Cat “Bird”? Wouldn’t a Bird named “Cat” be even weirder? Well now that we got that out of the way its time to get some work done. But of course the only work I can get right now is in the middle of the desert. Why must Vegas be so crazy hot? Guess I will just have to deal with it while I finish up an HD Travel DVD of “Sin City” for a client. Once finished I will upload to Road Bandit for all to see. I can’t believe yesterday I woke up on the beaches of Cali and now I am parked right of of Las Vegas BLVD in 100 degree heat… If I only knew what I was doing.
Look left or right as you drive down a main street in your city and you’ll probably spot at least a couple. Walk a block or two in your city and they’ll find you. What are they? Better yet why are they what they are?…Confused yet? I am talking about of course our favorite roadside attraction sign spinners!
LA. We all know about it, but who here has truly lived it. There are so many different LA’s and I am out to discovery them all. Just point me in the right direction and let my camera and I do the dancey dance of fun. So if you’ve got suggestions on places, people or anything else that deserves being discovered about “The City of Angeles”, please feel free to send them my way.
Casey Fessler and Scott Minshall
“Without help from anyone I honestly would not be where I am today. Road life is rough and at times you will start to feel the lonely bug kicking in and things just feel less important when your sitting all alone in your RV”.
First off, I gotta thank the behind-the-scenes Road Bandit crew. Theses two madmen have supported me since the start, and both have offered their talents in Photography and Video to bring you those impressive shots that I of course would never be able to do. Casey Fessler is a Photographer out of Las Vegas and about 90 % of the photos seen on roadbandit.com have come from him. You can check out all his work at www.propermonkey.com and if you like what ya see order up a couple of prints and he can get them to you ASAP. Scottie Minshall is also a Photographer/Videographer out of Las Vegas who is currently enrolled at UNLV partying it up. Scottie can be seen nightly at the Planet Hollywood shooting the Steve Wyrick Magic Show. Both of these guys have helped me out greatly so far on my journey, but they aren’t the only ones I need to be thanking.
You can’t fail at something unless you quit at it…right?
Well I don’t know how to quit and the only way failure will happen to me would have to be by death. I am a persistent person and even though I might not get it right the first time or even the second or third time…I eventually will.
Its been 502 days, 8 hours and 32 minutes exactly since I first hit the road from Everett Washington. Wow over 500 days and I still get excited every time I get to start up the RV and hit the road towards a new destination.
Money! Damn you! You are evil!
I know people who have a ton of it yet hate their lives!
I know people who won’t start to live their lives till they have enough!
I hate you money! I am dead broke right now and I have never felt so alive! When I think about money I think about excuses. Do I really need money to be happy right now. Yes I am aware money is essential to survive in society. But how much of your day is spent thinking about the green paper?
Being a full time RVer comes with constant challenges. Most are easy like: oil changes, propane fill-ups and dumping the holding tank. But one challenge that always seems to get harder and harder is finding some safe and free parking.
