I started reading comments on my old youtube videos. I miss youtube sometimes. The website, the people it allowed me to become friends with, and the people who watched my videos were really there for me when I needed them. I’m not going to say I’ve moved on, because that isn’t the case. I still enjoy making videos and I intend on making them more often. Actually, I just posted one. The friends I made are great people. But things are different.

I’ve lost touch with almost everybody. A lot of it is because I now have a girlfriend and I’ve started college. I’m busy a lot of the time. I also just started a new business with some friends. I don’t skype with people like I used to. I don’t tweet like I did. I don’t blog pretty much at all anymore.

Some people have unsubscribed from me, unfollowed me on twitter, or deleted me on skype. I hope I didn’t offend anyone. I understand if you’ve moved on, if you’re just not interested anymore, or whatever.

I also spend months away from youtube. It actually upsets me how rarely I get on there. I’m behind on the times. The website is very different than I remember. I don’t know all the features, and the general atmosphere of the website is different. Plus, people have forgotten who I am.

But let me just say this, thank you. I still intend on being present on the internet, but I just want to take a moment to express my gratitude for everything thus far. You guys were great. You pulled me through a lot of difficult times. You helped me develop my skills, whether it’s noticeable or not. Back to the original thought, you were very kind to me with a bunch of your comments. While I was reading some of the old comments I was blown away at how awesome you guys have been to me. It seems people really saw something in me for a while. I appreciate all the friendships I made through the internet, largely because of youtube.

To anyone who reads this and has considered me a friend at some point, I hope we can reconnect. Let’s talk soon. My finals are over on Wednesday.

I’m gonna go on record saying I believe there is a small percentage of people who have legitimate claims, and there are indeed some things wrong with how money is handled in this country, but this Occupy Wall Street thing is ridiculous. One positive element of it is that it’s getting people together and making people realize that there is a problem. But beyond that, it is not accomplishing anything and is making people look stupid. Most people don’t even know what they want, and those that do seem to be complaining that the government and big businesses aren’t spoon feeding them. I come from a family with a decent income, but with 10 kids the money disappears quickly and we are in debt. You could venture to say we are a poor family. At the very least, my family has no money to speak of. My parents are not helping me through college. My life is my responsibility. I realize that it is up to me to make sure that I am successful.

when people think they’ve fallen in love over the internet

• no

i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again people

if you’re gonna make a sly dig make sure it’s SLY

my mum and step dad met online and fell in love over the internet, they’ve been married for 8 years now so i believe that you can fall in love online

love is irrational and happens in the most unlikely places. that’s why it’s so wonderful. :)

This actually angers me. Most often it’s people who have no experience with the subject who say these things. I’m assuming that’s the case here.

They fact that you just feel that you have to have an opinion on this matter is silly. Why even worry about  it? But the fact that you choose to have a negative opinion and essentially bash other people is ridiculous.

Even though my girlfriend and I are from the same place, it wasn’t until after she had moved thousands of miles away that we began talking. Things like facebook chat, video calling on skype, and extensive phone calls were what led us to develop feelings for each other.

Yes, we’ve known each other in person. Yes, we’ve been together multiple times since we started dating. She’s even moving back soon. But the internet played a huge and vital role in us being together.

It’s all about spending time with someone.

Sure, I do believe that you should probably spend time together in person before you get married. It would probably be wise to make sure that you’re personalities are compatible in person, your mannerisms don’t annoy each other, and that it’s just not awkward in general. But there is no doubt in my mind that you can fall in love over the internet.

Sorry, I get upset when people have immature and ridiculous opinions about something that has no effect on their lives, and they decide to voice it knowing full well that it could hurt other people.

Today I went out to dinner with my girlfriend’s parents. Her dad is a doctor and he was talking about how he gets annoyed when people complain about their pain being a 10 when he knows it could be much worse. He said he really wants to carry a taser with him and use it on anyone who says their pain is a 10, then ask them how bad their original pain was.

So we decided that, instead of having a pain scale of 1-10 that not everybody necessarily has anything to compare to, we should give the patients a cute little puppy, take it away from them, and tase them. It would be a scale of Puppy-Taser.

Of course I then had a brief moment where I imagined it happening and laughed, much like J.D. from Scrubs.

Just thought that needed to be shared.

Personally, it would take A LOT for me to call a pain a 10. I would probably consider the worst pain I’ve ever felt as a 7 or an 8.
