So as you’ll all now if you watched my most recent of videos you would have heard I am getting a camcorder for my birthday. So to improve my video steadiness or to just keep in somewhere I can just keep in place I brought a tripod. Now for £10 I am VERY impressed. It came in a box say the length of my arm and when you twiddle a few knobs and bolts then it goes higher and higher. It is basically as tall as me. Perfect height for me making videos.
I <3 my tripod
Yeah, YouTube. Ever since I’ve been on YouTube I have been up until stupid o’clock such as 4AM talking to YouTubers. Such as last night/this morning. I was thinking about having any early night when I was trying to find a guest for my group channel InsertFivePeopleHere. A friend of mine referred me to someonewho would be good for the job.
Now we got talking and … talking … and talking … and some more talking. Until 6AM. Now with most people I don’t talk to them 5 hours straight. Especially when it is the first time you’ve spoken to them. She truely is the nicest person I have ever met. Honestly.
YouTube isnt just a hobby. You don’t just make videos for people to watch and moan about. It’s a community. You make friends, you meet them, you create strong relationships with people you wouldnt have met any other way. People say YouTube is “pathetic” and “for losers with no social life”. Well I bet I have more friends than them. You don’t have to go out to the park and play football with them, they’re all right there – on your computer screen.
YouTube … the best social networking site?
Now … like most Britains I’m not a fan of immagrants. They take our jobs they take our women and they take our homes. Now I was just in town today with some mates and as it always seems to do – hunger came along play ……. again
So as you do I went into McDonalds for some quick food. I went up to the to till.
“Can I have A Big Mac meal please?” I said politley
He then put in the order to the till
“Medium or large” he asked
“Urmmmm medium”
He pressed some more buttons. Then looked at me and said
“What drink?” But he said it in the way which wasn’t actually understandable
“Ermmm pardon?”
“Drink” he said making a gesture as if he was throwing a cup of scolding water over his face (if only)
“Ohhhhhhhhhhhh” as I realised what he meant “Pepsi”
“No … we don’t sell Pepsi we are not Burger Kingggg” He replied
Seriously what the fuck. I don’t know what you sell I don’t make a habit of eating greasy food full of fat and cut offs of meat.
“Fine. COKE then.”
He then went off to get the food and I gave him the money then ran for my dear life. At the time I wanted to tell him to go home so badly. Then he served my friend and she didnt want the tray and he said “TAKE THE TRAY!!!” in a really angry voice. Seriosuly despite the fact you work in a dead end last resort job then dont take it out on the customers. Next time I am going to go to the ENGLISH 6ft ginger man. He’ll be nice to me 
Habits. They aren’t good. None of mine are actually discusting but I wish I could stop it … nail biting. I’ve done it for years, well pretty much due to sheer boredm. As you could guess my nails aren’t in the best of health. One day I found something white on them. I thought it was just something random like a feeble fleck of paint or something so I tried to scratch it off until I realised it was under my nail! After a bit of research I found it was called a Leukonychia. No idea what one of these are but they are random.
Shocking. And ever since I have been getting them quite frequently. I got one a few days ago and noticed it was actually on the top layer of my nail so i tried to scratch it out .. stupidly. The top layer off my nail started to peel off. For some reason I kept pulling it until I was in a bit of a hell of a lot of pain. I had ended up pulling another layer off which … led to there being a small section of no nail where there otherwise should be. Believe you me it stings. And it starts randomly bleeding and It hurts so much I cant apply ANY pressure to it. Example – I cant open a packet of crisps (chips) with the thumb.
Any idea when it’ll grow back anyone? Or maybe what these Leukonychia really are? :S
Must just be my bad diet I guess
Don’t expect too much of someone.
So basically all I have been doing for the past couple of weeks is sitting on my computer and twiddling my thumbs. Then tonight out of the blue I was asked my three seperate groups of people to go see them in town. I mean how ironic can it get. When I want to do something nothing happens but when I get the chance to do something, my inbox overflows with invitations. More overflowing than the Brtiney Spears’ hate mail .. and believe me that must be alot.
Today was good. The fact I actually got out out bed before midday was a miracle. But it has left me completly tired. But I guess going out on my bike didnt help the matter.
Was just thinking, I am not the worst of BMXers … maybe I could do it in the Olympics? Problem is I have never heard of a BMX club where they train you to be an Olympic athlete. I was just out on it today and I just realised how unfit I have become. The whole out of breath after a few pedals is kind of a clear sign.
I need to work out what I am gonna wear for tomorrow .. plus who I am gonna to see. All this fame – its not all that easy 
So I’m sitting in on this lazy Sunday afternoon. Decide to have a long lay in today as there was nothing to get up to … and it was raining outside. As I do every morning I switched on my Sky TV box and television. At around about midday the Olympic Closing Ceremony was on.
Everything was a-okay … then the show turned into a “let’s all laugh at Britain”. Why you may ask, well just look at that picture! Whoever decided what was gonna to happen in the handing over ceremony should be hanged, drawn and quartered (Google it). Not worthy of my research, HE or SHE decided to take the main stereotypes of Britain’s capital and display it to a worldwide audience. “Come to London and get what you expected”. But if they really wanted to display the real London then why not push the boat out?
Firstly a big red bus drove into the stadium. But where were the chavs at the back of the bus playing drum and bass music off their phones. Then some random British dancers were prancing around with some umbrellas. Okay rain .. nothing surprising there, but where were the smokers, the binge drinkers, the homeless. And out came a girl, she wasn’t white, we have to show off our multiculturalism don’t we? But the parts of racist Britain would have seen the girl and had flashbacks of the 7/7 bus bombing.
Then it really got weird … Leona Lewis (the winner of an ITV talent show) and the guitarist from a band from the Jurassic Period appeared. But hear the screams when David Beckham appeared. He is notably the best ball kicker in football history. But when he ripped the football from the child’s hand and punted it off the bus. Well it wasn’t the biggest of kicks. I’m not a football pundit but even I can tell that was quite embarrassing for him.
Oh and did you see the Major? Boris Johnson .. the world’s most stupid politician (behind George Bush). Luckily he didn’t trip up the stairs like he did at his speech after he signed some documents declaring him Major of London. Thank god he didn’t make a speech here. He’d be ,in the worlds of Arnold Schwarznegger, “fumbling all over the place”.
But the closing ceremony is over now – thank god.
Bring on 2012 … and our “epic” opening ceremony. Maybe we will get the Queen to run around in her shorts.
We’re all just a little bit racist. Even me.
This is just a wee picture I drew up after being inspired by some of Jacob Dyer’s brilliance.
‘People’ll use any excuse when they’re upset.’
More to come? – Maybe
So a few people have asked me how I make my videos. So … what a pefect time to tell you how I made the video which brought you to this site! Again … comment the posts, favour the page ect.
To start off with I switch on my Logitech Quickcam and fiddle with the settings till I look just right. Despite the fact I always look good perfect. I press record with a casual click of the mouse and start ranting for 10 minutes. Sometimes I write notes on what I want to say … but most of the time I just let the words flow. Unless I have an inspiration deprevation that is.
After I have finished moaning and groaning. No not doing that … rude people. I put my video file into Sony Vegas 7 and spend a good old hour cutting up the clips and playing with the effects. After watching the video through once or twice … and I am compltley happy with it rendering begins. Basically rendering is time to let you relax from nonstop editing and time to put your feet up with a chocolate biccy and a cuppa tea.
When its rendered it can go up to the big YouTube for the whole world to see.
Then you wait for comments and ratings.
So why dont you make a video too? It is that easy!
