The Bird Status Report

written by Road Bandit

Well this week started off real crappy when I awoke on Monday to find my cat “Bird” confused and falling over as she paced around the RV. I was so confused and scared for my 15 yr old kitty companion and I immediately setup a visit to see a veterinarian. The vet told me Bird may have had a stroke during the night and she was still recovering by the morning.

The rest of Monday sucked as Bird seemed completely out of it and I feared she wouldn’t recovery. However, the next day I awoke to a happy and more active cat who seemed to be making a comeback. Then the next day she was even better and today she is pretty much back to normal and loving life.

Bird would like to thank all of you for your kind words and balloons and catnip :)

The3six5 Project

written by Road Bandit

Today was August 24th and today was my day to tell the world what life was like to be Randy Primm. I signed up at the end of the year to participate in The3six5 Project, which is a project where 365 different people from all over the world, choose a day within the year and then blog about how that day went by for them.The project is run by Len Kendall and Daniel Honigman.

I met Daniel in Las Vegas when I was his cameraman for a live-shot about social media and how it will soon effect how we get our news.  After the shoot I told Daniel about Road Bandit and he smiled and started telling me about places to look into for managing my blog. I hope to be in Vegas in Oct for the Blog Word Expo and to see Daniel and get to thank him in person for all the help and for letting me be a part of The3six5 Project.

The Bird Is Still The Word

written by Road Bandit

Well today sucked. Woke up to a cat who wasn’t all there. Apparently my 15 yr old cat “Bird” had herself a minor stroke during the night and when I awoke in the morning she was looking like she wasn’t going to make it through the day. She wasn’t responding to me and she kept walking in circles around the RV and falling in the step next to the door over and over again.

So, with the help of the one they call “Mother” we took Bird to the vet to get some blood work done.  Hopefully we get some good news and it turns out that she was just drunk last night and really hungover this morning.  Either way,  Bird is still around and each hour she’s looking better and better.

Seattle Seahawks Football

written by Road Bandit

Are you ready for some football?

It’s getting to be that time of year where getting drunk before noon on a Sunday is understandable.

That’s right, the NFL season is under way. Well, at least the presean has started and I since I am still up in Washington I decided to get down to Seattle and work me some football.

Sure it’s only preseason but its football and it’s way better than watching the Mariners lose another 100 games this year.

I will be posting photos from the field on my Facebook throughout the day.

Good luck to your team this year and lets go SEAHAWKS!

Jason Moffatt Owes Me A Six Pack

written by Road Bandit

Halfway through August and I am already cashing in on tons of productivity, early mornings and now I’ve won a a whole six pack by the one and only Jason Moffatt.

 

Question is, will Jason be sending me six pack of beer to tempt me or a six pack of that non-alcoholic beer O’Douls or maybe he will send me a copy of 8 Minute Abs and have me work my ass off for that six pack.

Either way, I am cruising through August and I want to thank not just Jason but everyone who has cheered me on so far.

MMA BADASS

written by Road Bandit

MMA, commonly called “UFC” by newbies and girls alike, stands for Mixed Martial Arts and it’s really Badass! So who better than to be my first  Road Bandit online interview than founder and amateur fighter Keith Talarico of MMABADASS.com

First off, what is MMABadass and where is it going?

Keith: mmabadass.com for now is a blog on my thoughts on whats going on in mma. There is a lot that is not said and i think certain things should be said as far as where it’s going, i want my readers to be thebadasses.  they make their picks for every major event. It’s a place for their voice to be heard.  I hope to turn mmabadass.com into a brand with a clothing line and partnerships with other gyms clothing etc..

Nice, kinda like the Tapout guys?

Keith Not exactly, for me mmabadass is more about the fans, the voices that aren’t heard on the TV.  There are a lot of fans out there that know a lot about the sport, for now my site is their voice.  I want them to argue with me and prove me wrong.

Having trained and fought in the past, what would you like to see with MMA in the next 5-10 years?

Keith: I would like to see mma become the sport that all the hardcore fans already know it is…the most popular in the world. Think about it, we call all of our major sports champions world champions, butmma is the only sport out there right now that is truly international.  It doesn’t matter where you are from or what is popular in your culture, because all cultures love fighting.

Ohhh so true!…Ok so next week is a major fight between professional boxer James Toney and former UFC Champion Randy Couture. Why is this so big and what do you expect is going to happen?

Keith: This is so big because boxing has been saying that mma fighters aren’t talented.  No one in mma was doggin’ boxing.  Boxing felt threatened by mma because they saw their ppv dollars decreasing because people are now buying mma ppv’s over boxing ppv’s.  I think we are going to see Randy Couture implement a great gameplan (like he always does) stay out of James Toney’s range, take him down and demonstrate why mma fighters are the better athletes by pounding Toney into submission!

My money is on Couture…us Randy’s stick together

Keith: everybody’s $ is on Couture!

Is there a place in MMA for women and do you see them ever getting a chance to fight in the UFC?

Keith: Absolutely,  Bellator 24 show cased some great womens mma last night.  As far as it being in the UFC, I think Dana is going to want to see more quality fighters .  Right now there are about 5-10 quality fighter beating up on under qualified women fighters.

I am personally a fan of chick fights…It’s hot stuff! But seriously, some of these woman are beasts and I can’t wait to see someone whoop up on Cyborg.

Keith: It might be a while for that to happen, remember she trains at Chuteboxe, one of the best camps in the world!

 

Ok so I am 6’8″ and would love to hear your thoughts on what would happen to me if we got in the cage for 3 rounds :)

Keith: Your limbs would be in trouble after I got past your reach to take you down!

Yeah if you got me on the ground I would turtle up and scream RAPE!…

What can all the millions of Road Bandit fans out there do to support MMABASS.com?

Keith: All they need to do is read my blog…for now, if they disagree, post it, if they agree post it, and if they have no feeling on the subject post that too.  I also guest blog for fightlaunch.com I always post a link on my site to my articles on fightlaunch.com.  So post there too!  Check in everyday to support mmabadass.com, that’s all I need…(like I said ) for now!

Awesome stuff Keith and keep on being a badass!

Keith: Thanks man, keep on being the bandit of the roads!

Patiently Building Momentum

written by Road Bandit

The Road Bandit Project is picking up steam but it hasn’t been easy. I feel like each time Roadbandit.com takes a dive and I stop producing videos and posts I let down a bunch of fans.

Like I have said many a time before… problems with money and motivation may slow me down but will never stop me.

It’s August 11th, 2010 and at the end of this month I will have completed the “Super Sober Challenge” and posted thirty-one times in thirty-one days. I know with all the wide gaps of time between posts I have lost some viewership. It’s ok, because I am going to win you back and this time it’ll be for good.

Each day now I am spending more time on Road Bandit and with each new post I am building momentum towards a special new Re-Launch that will rock your socks off! I know the viewership and comments are down right now, but that will all soon change.

My goal is to get more acquainted with my fans and bring out the interactive part of Road Bandit I have been striving for. If you’re a fan of the Bandit and want to help see me get to the next level, all you gotta do is one thing…share!

Share your favorite Road Bandit posts or videos with your friends. Share your comments with me when you like or dislike my posts and most importantly, share with me your input on where I should go and what I should cover. It’s a big world and I’m just one man, with one plan and a camera in my hand…lol that rhymed :)

So keep checking up on my “Super Sober” progress and before you know it, I will be back on the road giving the people what they want… 100% pure unfiltered Road Bandit delight!

ProperMonkey Photography

written by Road Bandit

Since hitting the road in April of 2008 I have met some really cool and talented people. On the top of that list would have to be Casey Fessler of ProperMonkey Photography. This guy has the passion and the skills to take any picture, in any situation and make it look amazing!

All the amazing photos you’ve seen on Road Bandit are the work of the one and only Casey Fessler. He has not only been a great contributor to the Road Bandit project but also one of the reasons I am still on the road. Casey and his fiancée Allison have helped me through some rough times while trying to survive in Las Vegas. During the crazy hot summers and freezing cold winters, they opened their doors to Bird and I, allowing us to keep on trucking.

Thank you guys so much for all that you have done for me over the years. I wouldn’t be where I am today without people like you two in my life.

Road Bandit followers please check out ProperMonkey.com and enjoy all the amazing pieces of work Casey has put together. Also make sure to support him by purchasing any artwork that tickles your fancy :)

In Rob Burns We Trust

written by Road Bandit

Rob Burns is a badass and this is why:

Rob’s tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried

When Rob Burns does a pushup, he isn’t lifting himself up, he’s pushing the Earth down

Rob Burns lost his virginity before his dad did

On the 7th day, God rested…. Rob Burns then took over

Before the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Rob Burns

Rob Burns is the reason why Waldo is hiding

Rob Burns counted to infinity – twice

Rob Burns doesn’t wear a watch. HE decides what time it is

If at first you don’t succeed, your not Rob Burns

When the Road Bandit needed a 300th Fan, Rob Burns was born!

Cheers Without The Beers

written by Road Bandit

Today is August 1st 2010. Today is my sisters 25th birthday. Today is also the 1st day of my Super Sober Fun Time Challenge!

I woke up this morning or should I say this afternoon, slightly hungover and lacking the drive to get up and get my day going. This has been an embarrassing  routine for me lately but something special happened to me today… I asked why.

Why do I drink?

When I do drink…why do I drink so much?

Why am I not treating my body right?

To ask why is to search for a reason. Usually for me there has to be a reason to do something and that reason has to be good. But over the last 2 years while out on the road my reasons have seemed to dimish from…” lets drink because its New Years” to “lets drink because its a Wednesday.”

I’m 26, have no kids and the only main responsibilies I have are to take care of my cat and myself. So 1 out of 2 ain’t bad right?

Well in order to achieve greatness out on the road I need to achieve greatness within myself first. Both body and mind must be healthy and ready for any challenge. So with that said, I’ve decided to kick over the cup, pour one out for all my homies and give up the bottle for one whole month.

August will be my month to let my body and my mind rebuild. As you have seen in previous Road Bandit videos such as the Drink Drank Drunk video, I’m that guy who lets the nights keep on rocking and lets the mornings keep on sucking.

Follow along as I let you in on all my techniques on how I will avoid temptations, renergize my mind and body and get ready to get back out on the road for more adventures and life lessons.

Cheers!…without the beers :)
