I was just on youtube seeing what my friends were up to. But before I closed it, I had to see a video I made. A month ago I posted Fireflies - Owl City DeBenson Style. It's one of those vids that I didn't make for my subscribers, I made it for me. It turns out, alot of you like it. Hmmm, maybe there is a lesson in there somewhere.
But why is it my fav? First, obviously, the song kicks butt. But there are scenes in it that were the most fun times of my life. If you read this blog, you know a year ago, I went on a road trip to Atlanta and Orlando. The Aquarium scenes in the vid were shot in Atlanta. The fireworks shots were in Orlando. One scene is where I am climbing stairs in some multi-colored staircase with weird circles. That was the stairs that led to the room I stayed at in Disneyworld's Pop Century Resort. The colors and staircase are actually inside a 40 foot tall Rubik's Cube staircase. It also has Springfield, the town I live in with President Lincoln and me in it.
Sometimes I make videos because I know what my subscribers like. But once in a rare while, it's just for me. And the great part is those are the ones you like too.

Insane Youtubers
Ok, youtubers. I love making vids. Comments, subscribers, and views are a trip for me. But what about the dark side of youtube? Two types of youtubers drive me friggin insane!!
Type one - I know, let me post 30 vids a day! Good idea. I look at my queue to find my friends and some subscription has posted the results of the latest jai-alai game, and then a vid showing highlights of the latest jai-alai game. Then comes a video about how he felt watching the latest jai-alai game. You get the picture. Oh, and all his vids are in some language I don't speak. Good plan. Thanks for playing, I'm going to unsub now.
Type two - the haters that don't get it. Have you ever gone to a channel to see he has 5 subscribers? When you look at the channel comments they all say "Why are you such a...?" or "Get a life dipshit" or some other response to his or her (it's never a her) insanity. They are related to the guys that say "I Hacked Fred's Channel". Lot's of youtube fun there. I get the feeling that when he is not logged on, he's stealing money from the Salvation Army kettle.
So yeah, I love youtube and I know to steer clear of idiots. But it would be so much easier if there were fewer of them.
