VID OF THE DAY: Numb

August 28, 2008 · 2 Comments

It is currently 1:21 AM, and I am approaching my second day of school. I know I shouldn’t be up this late, but I just wanted to post my VOD. I decided when I looked at my subscriptions and saw the new Levi video, I knew I would probably just post it to save time. However, when I watched the video, I was shocked with how real it was.  As I watched the video, I though about how obsessed with my blog I’d become. For the past few months, it’s been a ‘quota’ I have to reach, and if I don’t reach it, then I am personally doing something extremely wrong. Anytime I saw the homepage of my blog, I would think “average views per day, 400; quota 16 views per hour” or “high view spike; average views per day 500; quota 21 views per hour.” It’s truly sickening how obsessive I’d become with this blog. Then one day, I reminded myself that during my first week on this blog, I’d gotten 16 views, and I’d be able to live with that. The thing is, I can’t even imagine the stress those same quotas and numbers put on youtubers. When I write, I sometimes write about my life, but I also write about videos and music and crazy people and everything in between; with youtube, the central objective is to let the world know who you are and about your life. When you think about it, I don’t actually let you into my life; when youtubers make videos, they let you into their world. It can take a personal toll on a youtuber when they don’t get attention or views; it can make them think they’re not good enough or not special enough to have the number of views that people so similar to them have. The point is that everyone on the internet with a certain obsession, whether it be blogging or making videos or even just making friends, needs to take a step back from their computer and say to themselves that they don’t need any of it. If every personal computer in the world crashed tomorrow, and every website on the internet disappeared, we would live. We would be okay. And whether we got a new computer or not, we could live a great life without it. Technology is not a necessity. So, I’m going to try to drop my obsession with the internet, and I encourage you to do the same. Sorry about the random, VOD, rant; I was very inspired by Levi.

The Freshman Hunt

August 27, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Today is my first day of high school. I know four years from now, I won’t even remember/care about today, but, as all students believe, today will probably be one of the most ‘important days of my life’. Why? Who knows. I just know something will happen, either to discourage me or encourage me. I don’t really know. All I know is that I’m supposed to have a golf match today, and I don’t want to go. But I probably won’t have to, since the reminants of Fey are passing over Ohio. Anyway, just writing to let you know that I won’t be blogging as much, since I want to spend time on my transition into High School. Peace!

Guest Post: Sister’s “Playlist of Addiction”!!!!

August 24, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Allow me to reintroduce myself: My name is HOV. (Except, not really. My name is TheaterQueen, I guess.)
So, my sister, PnoGal32, finally let me do a post on MY playlist of addiction. So, here it is.

1. “A Story To Tell Your Friends” by Every Avenue — I’ve become OBSESSED with Every Avenue since one of my best friends made me listen to them. They are just amazing.

2. “I’d Lie” by Taylor Swift — I absolutely love Taylor Swift. This is just my latest favorite from her.

3. TIE “Mariella” by Kate Nash and “Hot ‘N’ Cold” by Katy Perry — I love Kate Nash. She’s such a good artist and one of my friends and I are obsessed with her. I am OBSESSED with Katy Perry as well. I love her and her music. This is just one of my favorites by her.

4. “The Way We Talk” by The Maine — They’re so adorable and they’re music is goooood. They also did this really nifty version of “I Wanna Love You”, but I love this song.

5. “The Fear You Won’t Fall” by Joshua Radin — Ever since Tyler Oakley made a video featuring this song, I’ve been in love with it. Enough said.

6. “Secret Valentine” by We The Kings — I love We The Kings, and I reallly really like this song. I like this song more than I like their more popular songs.

7. TIE “Pushin’ Me Away” and “A Little Bit Longer” by Jonas Brothers — I’ve been in love with these guys since before everyone else loved them. I remember them back in the days of “6 Minutes”, “Mandy”, and even “Underdog”. But these two songs are by far my favorite one’s from their newer stuff.

8. “Free Fallin’” by The Summer Obsession — John Mayer also did a version of this song, but this version is much more upbeat and I enjoy it more in general.

It’s OVER!!!

*Disclaimer: My sister does not share any of these same music interests.
