YouTube ruined my life

That's probably a bit dramatic but seriously, like a vampire sucks the blood out of you, YouTube sucks the life out of me. I guess it would be more accurate to say it sucks up all my time, I don't know why I thought of the vampire comparison, it really makes no sense now that I look at it.

Point: I spend a lot of time on YouTube. A lot. A lot.

I go to watch a video and then just one more video and then it's three hours later and I haven't done anything all day. It really sucks you in...like a vampire...heh... :|. There are few reasons why I really like YouTube and prefer it to TV.

#1. the videos are short, most are under 20 minutes. You can just catch a quick video in between whatever.

#2. the videos are not heavily produced, they're often written/produced/directed etc etc by the people you see in the video

#3. kind of goes with #2, you see "normal" people just being people. I guess this and #2 mainly refer to vlogs.

#4. in most cases there is very little money involved in making of the videos which means that there is a lot of freedom.

#5. because there isn't a lot of money and studios involved there is a wide variety of entertainment and pretty much everyone can find something they like.

One of my favorite "YouTubers" lately has been MrArturoTrejo I just love his sense of humor. He is one of those YouTube partners who actually has a "real job" as a lawyer (though he seems a bit reluctant to even mention the word "lawyer") I don't think that having a job outside of YouTube really makes much of a difference, other than maybe he feels less pressure to pump out videos constantly because it is not his main source of income. That said, he is pretty regular with them. He posts videos every Thursday or Tursday aka Trejo Tursday and even sometimes throws in a "Trejo Treat" sometime during the week. His videos are on the shorter side rarely ever exceeding five minutes. I find myself laughing out loud very often while watching them.

My favorite things about MrArturoTrejo's videos

1. His dry sense of humor

2. His adorable 2 year old son Jose Louis

3. His frequent use of the Spanish language because his wife is half Mexican and it's very clear he is a fan of that culture.

My mind's racing from chasing pirates

letters. words. sentences. paragraphs. i am such a wonderful writer.

yesterday i couldn't blog because there was site maintenance or something of the sort. and of course i had so many interesting things to say then but i don't remember them now. i might be lying.

Approximately $25 million is spent each year on lap dances in Las Vegas"? This may be not true I don't know, I got it off the internet. Does the internet ever lie? I'm not sure. $25 million huh? I would've actually thought it was more. don't they have places that are open like 24/7? cheap people in Las Vegas. Do me a favour, if you ever are in Las Vegas and have a lap dance, tip your dancer well. I once knew a "dancer". I actually knew her from church. I love irony. Was that ironic or just coincidental? I'm not sure. I think it's a nice anecdote. "I know a stripper, I met her at church, har har har"... ok maybe it's not that funny or at all. I have to go chase pirates now. Bye. Peace. Love. Don't forget to tip your lady ;)

I wanna kiss a girl

Well... I don't. I am a girl, and I don't swing that way. I also don't do cliches. But thanks to Keith Urban I walk around saying that I do. I really don't like it when really catchy songs have lyrics that aren't really appropriate for everyone to sing, there should be a law regarding this. Thou shalt only make songs with a universal narrator catchy. Yeah! OK, so someone get on that, because I wanna kiss a girl.

Sharing

Why do people feel the need to share their love stories in the comments of a song that talks about something similar to what happened to them? I think it is the funniest thing to read "people always say we should be a couple, and we laugh it off, what he doesn't know is that I wish we were" or "I was listening to this song with my friend once and he asked me if i ever felt like this and i blushed and he kissed me and we've been together ever since". I would definitely call myself a romantic, I enjoy cheesy and sappy movies and stories and songs but for some reason I think it's just so ridiculous to read people commenting about how their little hearts relate to the song. It sort of makes me want to say "I don't care about your love life".
