Not much has happened since my last update, but I thought I'd spend some of my free time writing a little blog post. Cool? Cool.
I haven't started working yet, nor have I moved into my new house. Instead, I've been spending a lot of time reading and enjoying the abundant talent that YouTube has to offer. I've actually been a closeted YouTube nerd for several years now. I made an account in 2008, but I've never commented or favorited, let alone posted a video. However, in my years on YouTube, I've come across a lot of talented and interesting people, and it all pretty much stemmed from one channel: fiveawesomegirls. Along with Julia Nunes, the girls' channel was one of the first I ever subscribed to. I came in a little less than a year into their progress and after catching up on their videos, I was hooked. Each of the five girls were (and still are) super smart, witty, endearing, and definitely entertaining. From there, I subscribed to each of their personal channels and the channels for the projects they would pursue later years (Job Hunters, Answerly, Hayley's short-lived advice blog, each of their personal blogs... the list goes on). And through the 5AG, I was introduced to many of my current favorite YouTubers like the Vlog Brothers, Alex Day, Luke Conard, Meekakitty, Tyler Oakley, and SO MANY MORE. And then, of course, the process continued and I found even more YouTubers through the YouTubers that I found through the fiveaweseomgirls. YouTube is seriously amazing... which is why I think I'm actually going to post a video...?
I recently discovered the YouTube musician and vlogger Landon Austin. If you haven't heard of him and you've somehow stumbled across this blog and have actually read this far, go check him out! You won't be sorry! He does covers and originals, and created amazing songs with his band ColorFire. But anyway, he posted a voice-over vlog yesterday called "Today Was a Really Good Day". It had an overwhelmingly positive response, and he has challenged his viewers to create a vlog in the same style. I feel like this is the perfect opportunity for me to try my first vlog because 1.) It's voice-over, and my crappy old camera doesn't record sound. So there's that. 2.) I know that if I post it, Landon will watch it and it will have at least one view, with the possibility that his viewers might be interested in checking out the other video responses. 3.) I don't have to think of something interesting or entertaining to talk about. All I have to do is narrate my own life. Anyway, I loved his video and am actually really excited about the possibility of creating something similar. Let's see if I actually go through with it... I might chicken out. :P
That's really all I wanted to talk about right now. Enjoy the abundance of links I provided for you and have a lovely day. (I say that, but no one reads this, as far as I'm aware. If you read this, comment? It makes writing blogs that much more fun!) :D
