After the complete surprise of yesterday's video, I've decided to keep this up more regularly, and I can already see a difference in the quality of video coming out.
Granted it's still terrible (if not worse), but a bit better than yesterday's, so I'm happy.
Little victories are a good thing.
So in today's video I talked a bit about the whole Eritrean National Football Team disappearing.
Yeah I know.
Quite shocking. You can read more about it here.
Apparently they went for a match and never came back [no more no more no more no more... hit the road Jack].....
Which begs the question how bad must it be in Eritrea if even the national football team have to get out of there.
Also, I would like to point out that I would not have wanted to be inside that room when the president found out. Heads must be rolling.
So if you wanted to check it (my video that is) out [hint hint... nudge nudge] you can right here
Another (not-so-)interesting (but closer to home) story is about how France has returned Frescos to Egypt. Reading the entire story (about how France could never steal artifacts- to 'ok ok...so we stole them...sorry!) was hilarious. Apparently Egypt cut off ties with them in October after demanding the frescoes be returned in the grounds that they were stolen. And only after they cut off researchers and archeologists from key sites in Egypt did they hand over the stolen property.
Doesn't anyone have any decency and honesty anymore? Apparently not.
I'm so excited about this. Ok. Let me just wind that up a few minutes....
So here's what happened.
After our lovely on way conversation (also known as my conversation with myself..) I decided to take the plunge, and make a complete ass of myself and start making videos on my take on life, and events that find themselves in the news a lot. The thought that I could work my way through the fabulous site of YouTube to one day being a host where my thoughts actually matter was enough to bypass my utter embarrassment and general unease about the whole situation.
What also helped was looking at a few old videos of The Philip DeFranco Show, and wow... he had a completely different style back then (to say the least), so my thought was, even if I suck to begin with, I can always get better. So I went with that!
What's been bothering me for the past few weeks was how everyone was going on about the whole Tger Woods thing... as though it was impossible that any of those women could be lying... ppllllleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaase....
So I made a little video about that (which really wasn't that great or funny or well edited or anything... just a few incoherent thoughts, and well..) up until now (1.5 hrs later) I've had over 30 people watch it!!
It's so exciting! I've never had traffic generated towards any of my videos before! I didn't post it or tell anyone... it was such a great surprise!
So from now on I'm going to try and do this pretty regularly, so I can build up a substantial amount of videos, get better (and less nervous in front of the camera), and see what happens from there!
Very good news!
Thanks for listening!
Lg.
Oh and if you want to see it, here it is...Enjoy!
So the past few days have been somewhat difficult.
I've found myself tossing and turning each night, about to fall asleep, then I wake up with some crazy thought about something I have to do. It's become very tiring.
What's even more tiring though is the fact that everything I want to do in my life is SO difficult. I don't mind toiling away for years in end if I know that I can get there. But these dreams seem SO farfetched, and there doesn't seem to be information ANYWHERE on how to get there. It's as though I woke up one morning and decided to be a model. Scratch that... I know what I need to do to become a model.... but a professional artist, photographer or a TV anchor. Now how does one get to that point? HOW?
I really really want to get to that point, but I don't know what to do? Anyone out there? Any advice?
