The Hardest $35 I Ever Made

Yesterday, I went out on my first loop as a caddie. Let me just say that being a caddie is not nearly as easy as it looks. Before yesterday, I had been in the shack a few times talking to some experienced caddies. They had massive wads of cash, and they told me what a great job it is. They also said that the real money comes when you start "double-bagging."

If you cannot guess, that means carrying two golf bags 18 holes while providing yardages and holding the pin and all the other duties of a caddie for two players. When they told me this, I thought, "That sounds like a wonderful gig." Anyway, that before my first loop. It was 92 degrees yesterday here in sunny Colorado. I drank like four bottled waters, and I was tired after 9 holes. The last 9 were absolutely excruciating. I'm no small person, but it would be impossible for me to carry two bags. That is simply ludicrous.

Of course, being the hard headed, stubborn person that I am, I signed up to caddie four times next week. By the end of the summer, I should be ripped like the fricken Hulk.

My Spanish Project and YouTube

Good Morning Blogees, (If I am a blogger, aren't you a blogee?)

It is 9:00 on a Friday, and I don't have school!  Woot! Woot!  Anyway, I though I would use today to show you one of my videos that I made during the school year for my Spanish class.  They project was to make a comemrcial for a product in Spanish using mandatos (commands).

This is what we came up with.



I shot the video with a Flip Ultra HD. As you can tell, the quality isn't wonderful, but that can be attributed to the poor lighting. The camera does an absolutely fabulous job when it is outside in the sunshine though.  I edited the video in Final Cut Express

Word Up Holmes

It is officially 11:30 on Thursday, May 27, 2010 (The First Day of Summer) and I am still awake.  Usually this wouldn't be a problem except that I am supposed to caddy tomorrow.  I have a loop that will keep me out for the greater part of the day.  I don't know if anyone follows the weather in Denver, but it is supposed to be 91 flippin' degrees.  Everyone should pray this evening and tomorrow that I don't die of heat stroke or over exertion.  By the way, this will be my first loop ever.  Hopefully all goes well, and hopefully I will enjoy caddying enough to do it five times a week so that I can make the big bucks.  Anyway, that is all that I have to say at 11:30.

Goodnight all,
Andrew

What's Been Going On

Hey everyone,

 I know I haven't been on this for a long time. I've just been really busy with school, but now I have all the time the world to blog. Since my last post, a lot has happened. For example, I'm starting a YouTube channel. You can find me at http://www.youtube.com/user/NotQuiteNoble. So far, I only have a few videos. However, I plan to make many videos. I recently bought Final Cut Express and MacSpeech Dictate. I will most certainly create a view tutorials for these programs.

My ultimate goal for YouTube is to become a partner. I want to do this so that by the end of the summer, I will be able to afford a new MacBook Pro. Of course I did not plan to do this entirely on ad revenue alone. I also have a summer job at the local golf course.

Anyway, I just thought I'd fill you in.
Andrew

 PS I wrote this post entirely with MacSpeech Dictate and some help from Zemanta!
