My American Dream...
I've been thinking lately about the "American Dream". What is the american dream? Is it to settle down with a wife and kids in the suburbs? Is it to become an astronaut? The american dream is whatever the hell you want it to be and no one can tell you different. The american dream is your dream. Maybe it's going out to see the world and never coming back. Maybe it's being an adrenaline junkie. Whatever it is, you are entitled to it and no one can take that away from you. Bottom line it's your life and if you say no i'm not going to settle down with a wife and kids and spend the rest of my life paying back the mortgage on my house, then more power to you. People always think the american dream is living in the suburbs. Why? Because your in your safe secure little world lied to by the media and knowing your being fed a load of crap but thinking to yourself ignorance is bliss? Screw that. I don't care what people say is "normal". Normal is just what the rest of society is doing. So a bunch of people do it. Does that make it right. Hell no. I don't give a damn what people say is normal. You do what you want and i'll do what I want. And forgive me if I don't want to believe the load of crap the media feeds me. I don't want to wake up one day at 57 and wonder "What the hell happened?". Do you?

A Helping Hand
It's been month's since my last post. That's how I started off my last post, so I got to get on this site a little more often. I've been watching a good amount of YouTube lately, and the one thing that constantly I notice is that there are an absurd amount of pointless, meaningless videos. I'm all for expressing yourself and all that, however if you're videos aren't helping anyone, why are you making them. When I say pointless videos I mean videos that there are absolutely no reason whatsoever to watch. If a video teaches you how to do something, changes your outlook or opinion on a subject, or just provides good entertainment, then the video is not meaningless. I honestly don't understand the point of having any other type of video. Rants are a whole different subject. In my opinion, if a rant is on a subject such as crappy video's on YouTube, it's acceptable because it challenges viewers to make better videos, therefore giving the rant a cause. If a rant is just about dissecting every minutely flawed aspect of a video, then there is no reason for it to exist. Is there really a reason to make this type of rant? All this type of rant does is make a person feel bad about the video they made, therefore giving this type of rant no cause whatsoever. Bottom line there is no reason to make a video complaining about something if you're not going to help improve anything. This is just my opinion, and I may be wrong, but please, be conscience about the video you're making.
