I HATE GLENN BECK!

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , on September 26, 2009 by reubnick

Well, in the past few minutes, I have decided that Glenn Beck is officially my least favorite person on Television.

Actually, you know what? I have a correction. Glenn Beck is my least favorite person in all of entertainment. In all of the entertainment world, movies, music, an TV, Glenn Beck is my least favorite. He takes the cake.

Here is an equation to help you.

Michael Moore X Louie Anderson (X 2)  + Spencer Pratt/Ricky Gervais = Glenn Beck.

Yes, I dislike him that much. I won’t go into it, but if you watch him for 2 seconds, it is very understandable why. Plus, there are far too many reasons to explore. Lets just keep it at this. My disdain for Glenn Beck is unfathomable.

I just hope he stays around, because the man is a walking punchline. He is so utterly ridiculous, I just have to laugh at him. One of these days, I am going to do a parody video of him…and that is such a simple concept. All I’ll have to do is galivant around, saying things that are both pompous and arrogant, and make no sense, and I’ll be golden.  Can’t wait!

Why the people who work on Bioshock are completely awesome.

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , , on September 19, 2009 by reubnick

Let me just first say this. I like video games. I really, really enjoy them. I have a PS3, and a Xbox 360. Of course, I’m not one of those people who is contantly talking about video games, either, and how many people they pwned, or how to get achievements, or how many headshots and teabags they did. Gameplay isn’t even the big thing for me, I’m in it for the story line. If a video game is good, it’s like a really great movie that you can live, that you can manipulate, and that YOU can make last for weeks. It’s so great. My personal favorites are Grand Theft Auto 4, Drake’s:Uncharted (which, may I add, has an incredibly looking sequel coming out), Ghostbusters: The game, The Sly Cooper series, Pitfall Harry, and Bioshock. For those who have played those, you can totally tell that they are incredibly detailed, and have super rich story lines. However, most people don’t even realize I love video games, because I keep it relatively secret. Because, who needs to hear about my adventures in video games? Nobody. If they want to, just buy the game and live those adventures by yourselves! That said, I like to generally keep video game talk to myself, except for the occasional tweet. But, for this post, I am going to breach that.

I’ve talked about how much I love Bioshock on twitter before, correct?  It is an amazingly fun game, with an epic storyline. It’s probably the best game I’ve ever played. But, that isn’t the only reason I’m so into it, though. In addition to that, I am totally digging how the publishers are REALLY going the extra mile generating hype for the upcoming Bioshock 2…and it is TOTALLY working.

Lets see. Does anybody know about the website put out by 2k, called “There’s something in the sea”? Click the link to go to it, if you have time, but let me just sum it up here. Basically, it’s a website chronicaling the efforts of a man named Mark Meltzer to find his kidnapped daughter. It’s setting the scene for the second game, and although it’s all complete make-believe, it is still incredibly awesome. Plus, they update it contantly, and the plot continues to thicken to this day, and it was started over half a year ago. I am totally into it, and check it out as often as I can, and there is always something new. Talk about effort from them! That is practically unprecedented in generating hype for something, and it is totally working. It could be incredibly annoying, half-baked, or just lame, but it’s not. I’ve got Bioshock fever, and fully intend to get the second game as soon as I can get my hands on it.

But, wait! There’s more!

You might think that was all they were doing, because that seems like a lot as it is, but they’ve done even more promotions, too! On the 7th of August, I believe, there was something posted about Mark Meltzer visiting a certain number of beaches in real life, and the next morning, anybody who went to visit found bottles supposedly from “Rapture”, the name of the place the game takes place, and they had posters and things of that nature rolled up inside. Here’s a good article about it.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get anything for myself, because I am here in Wisconsin, and nothing happens in Wisconsin. However, this is what piqued my interest even more about Bioshock 2, and what got me even more excited.

I found my way to “There’s something in the sea” and spent about 2 days looking at all of the things on it. I also went to the wiki for the page, and found that they had featured some fan letters to Mr. Meltzer. That sounded cool. So, since I am sort of a loser for things like that, I went to work on a letter, just for the heck of it, to see if I couldn’t get featured. I was 90% sure I wouldn’t, but I was in a letter writing mood in the first place (having previously written Will Forte a fan letter), so I thought “Why not?”

I made up some bogus story that fit in with the premise, and mailed it out a couple of weeks ago. I almost forgot about it too, until today, I recieved a mysterious package addressed to me with no return label. I opened it up, and here’s what I found.

A RECORD!

A RECORD!

Yes! That is correct. It is an actual record disc, from the “Rapture Records” store.

Now, that is pretty darn awesome.

Plus, I am lucky enough to have a record player down in the basement, and within minutes, I was playing the record. Side A had the Rapture theme song on it, sung by the character Sander Cohen, I believe, and side B had the same thing…but also something else.

At the beginning of the record, before the song starts, is the tinny voice of a little girl saying “Daddy! Where are you Daddy? Are you going to come find me, Daddy?” in a creepy way. Then, the song continues. Spooky.

Now, I’d assume that voice is supposed to be that of Mark Meltzer’s daughter. How suspenseful!

Now, I have an awesome little souvenir from Rapture, and I am EVEN more excited for Bioshock 2. I have no clue how many people have recieved the same thing as me, but I hope they are as excited as I am about it. This made my day, as lame and nerdy as that may sound.

So, this goes out to you, 2k, the Bioshock publishers. Well played. Hopefully this hype will come in handy when you release the game, and make this one a big seller. You’ve already sold me!

My confusion regarding Youtube + Itunes.

Posted in Reubnick talks about boring things. with tags , , , on September 12, 2009 by reubnick

I am going to make a video called “Baby Fight” in the near future, which will be running along the same concept of the unbeliavably hysterical Gasoline fight in Zoolander, which is one of my favorite scenes in any movie of all time. Remember that? Everybody was fighting with gasoline, and one of the models lit a cigarette, and they all died? It’s genius. Anyway, in my video,  instead of using gasoline, I am going to use  baby dolls from the dollar store. I do, however, still want to have similar music to what was used in Zoolander, which was the Wham song “Jitterbug.” Of course, I don’t actually want to use that song in particular, because then I’d be downright stealing the idea from Ben Stiller, but I do want some fun, bouncy, carefree music with the same vibe to it.

So, just to hear it again, I went to the Jitterbug music video on youtube, and saw the thing I’ve been seeing around a lot on videos with music.

George Michael

The buy from Itunes button!

 

Now, obviously, I know what this means. It’s very self-explanatory, but I have some other questions. First off, I don’t understand if this is just for partners, or for everybody, or how to do it. Is there like some sort of option to choose as you upload a video, or does it happen automatically?

And, more impotantly, does that mean Viacom, and all the music labels will be less strict with copywritten music than before? Because, up until recently, I thought Youtube had a strict “NO COPYWRITTEN MUSIC EVER AT ANY TIME” policy, and as you remember, Viacom was being all evil about all music, people were getting fined, suspended, and those with copywritten music would either not be allowed into the partner program, or if they were and somebody found out they had copywritten music, they’d be kicked out. I just don’t get it.

Obviously, there wouldn’t be this option if copywritten music was still not allowed. It would be pointless.

So, for example, lets say I wanted to use “jitterbug” in a video. Would that be allowed now, considering I figure out how to use the Itunes option, or what? What exctly are the rules on youtube regarding copywritten music currently?

Or, what If I chose some other song by Devo or something instead of Jitterbug? It would be a copywritten song. Would there be anyway I could use it?

If some sort of youtube, tech whiz or somebody could possibly answer this question, I’d be very happy.

Also, does anybody know any songs that sound like Jitterbug that I could use in my video? I’d appreciate ideas about that, too, if you have any time.

A wasted summer (but I’m alright!)

Posted in Reubnick talks about boring things. on August 31, 2009 by reubnick

Well, here I am on the last day of summer. Looking back, it was definitely completely wasted. I had three goals, and there were to 1, get a job, 2 make some friends (perferably of the lady variety), and 3, to bulk up my subscribers count and to finally try to make a better name for myself on youtube. Well, I epically failed with all of those, but I’m not dwelling on it. It’s opened my eyes a bit, so bear with me during this post, because I am definitely not complaining. Don’t assume I’m whining here.

So, let me tell you about the job thing. There comes a point when a man gets sick of sitting on his computer all day and chasing fame he’ll never get that he get’s bored with it, and wants more. That was me last May. I wanted to finally get a job. I was QUITE optimistic, too, because my sister told me should could get me into an interview for a job as a golf caddy, because she had connections. Mind you, this was not just an average country club, too. I had the potential to be caddying for Bob Uecker and Aaron Rodgers if I got the job. Sounds like a dream job to me. But, alas, this recession happened. The country club needed to cut back on caddies, and they even needed to lay off some of the ones they already had. Well, that was the end of that dream. But, I decided to not fret yet, because they had been working on a Dunkin’ Donuts nearby for over a year. I love Dunkin’ Donuts! That was so exciting! I would have loved to work there, and I figured that there would be A LOT of positions available if they were just opening it. Well, it never opened. And it won’t ever open either. What do I have to thank this time? Probably the recession again. I hadn’t given up yet, though, as there was a Jimmy Johns right next door to it, which also, may I add, had plenty of pretty girls working it. So, I dropped by to ask what the qualifications were, and they said I needed to be over 16. So, in my awkward, annoying manner, I did that thing where I point my finger on the tabe, and said something along the lines of “Weeeeeelll, that doesn’t look very good for ol’ Reuben, does it?” …then I walked out, embarrassed I did that thing in front of all the pretty girls. I wish I didn’t always do that “mockingly suave” thing when I get nervous. I hate it. I hate it so much.

So, that was blown out of the water. I had one last chance, when one day decided I wouldn’t mind working for a coffee shop nearby. So, the same day, I headed on over, and picked up an application. Everybody was really nice to me, so I headed home and filled it out. Took it back 2 days later, and waited. They never called back. Looking back, it might not have been the best idea to say that “Rockin’ the suburbs” by Ben Folds describes me the most. So, I’ll take the high road, and blame ol’ Benny on me not getting this job.

Thanks a lot, Ben! While you are out hanging with Weird Al, Im stuck in school with no source of income!

Thanks a lot, Ben! While you are out hanging with Weird Al, I'm stuck in school with no source of income!

So, yes, the job hunt was unsuccessful. Very unsuccessful, as was my attempts to make friends. Actually, I lost friends this summer. Pretty much, I lost all of my friends except for like one person, and a few aquaintances. I guess I forgot to follow the old saying of “Never befriend a little guy who’s name rymes with Teoff, because although he will be your best friend for over a year, when the Summer comes, he will completely turn his back on you and become the biggest jerk ever by rekindling another friendship with another guy who stabbed you in the back, and then he’ll just skateboard all the time and completely change as a person into a really mean spirited little clone of everybody else, and he also won’t give you back your beloved screenplay that you worked on for over 2 years because he is a jerk who probably lost it even though he promised to not lose it over the summer when you gave it to him to read it because you trusted him, and now you probably won’t ever get it back.”

Silly me!

Other than that, my pals have stopped talking to me, have decided to start dating an old flame of mine without telling me, have deleted me from my friends on the social networking sites, and altogether have changed as people who no longer like me for whatever reason. Maybe it’s my fault, because I HATE being the only other person who calls people to hang out. Once in a while, it’s okay, but when you have friends who NEVER EVER EVER EVER call you, you start to get the feeling that they aren’t really good friends.

Plus, I had no luck with the ladies this summer. No luck, at all.

So, probably the worst, my goal of getting at least over a thousand subscribers this summer fell extremely flat. I assumed that I’d have nothing but time to work at revamping you channel and making good videos that people would HAVE to discover me and subscribe. Not quite. Grand total, I got less than 30 subscribers the whole summer.

LESS THAN 30.

That’s not only a fail, that’s a horrible shameful fail. Even if I didn’t shovel all of my spare time into making youtube videos and everything, that would still be earth shatteringly heart-breaking. Seriously. Less than 30. Girls with videos about the Jonas Brothers get more than that. Yes, I’ll admit that I had that scare when I got over a thousand fake sockpuppet subscribers, but that just doesn’t count. Plus, they have all gone away, and it’s been over a week since I got one measly subscriber. In fact, over the past 2 weeks, I’ve lost 2 subscribers, and that’s it.

So, I’ve had a lot of time to think. I’ve come to the conclusion that people still really, really, REALLY don’t like me on the internet, and that won’t change. Youtube is not the right place for me, and I’ve wasted years on it. The Reubnick channel is such a dead horse that it’s rotting. I’ve plateaued in early January, and it’s been that way since. There is no Reubnick future on youtube. I won’t become a partner, and I won’t become a “web-lebrity”, either. My youtube progress is done, and if videos I spend hours and hours on can’t get over 200 views in 2 months, that tells me something.

But, I’ve also decided to not whine ANYMORE about it. I face the facts. I’m not liked on the internet, and at this point, there’s nothing I can do about it. So, I won’t dwell at all, because nobody wants to hear it, and it’s pitiful. That’s why I’ve decided that this year, I’m going to stop focusing on my youtube channel much at all, and do other things. I’m going to write a bunch of scripts, but they are going to be longer and involved, and nobody will probably know about them. I want to contribute to Uncyclopedia more, and I want to work on developing the Flash series I’m working on with Dom about Martini Martian more. Quite frankly, I don’t really care that much about youtube anymore. It’s only brought me heartbreak, and that won’t change. That’s why I want to pursue my other endeavors and see how that goes.

No, I’m not quitting youtube, because although I have grown to hate it, I just can’t give it up. It’s become such a part of me that I can’t leave it. So, I hope to still make videos, but with a lot less frequency. Because I’ll have a lot of other stuff to worry about, and like I said, it’s not that important to me anymore. I am thinking I might start to do “vlogs” more, because those seem to be all the rage lately. I can dig up my “Reubnickisanidiot” channel, revamp it, and basically just completely rip off what Nalts, PeterCoffin, ZackScott, CharlesTrippy, WhattheBuck, Shaycarl, and Ijustine are doing, amongst others. I’ll see how that goes, and if anybody really cares about what I have to say.

I’m really optimistic about this whole Martini Martian thing, though. The very first episode got featured on Albinoblacksheep, which is a huge deal to me. That website is honestly what got me started on the internet. Without it, there would be no Reubnick. Just writing the script for something that got featured on there is probably even a bigger deal than getting featured on Youtube. Even though it probably sounds like I’m sucking up to it and being really annoying, it is a huge deal to me. Does anybody even know how many hours I spent watching the Angry Strawberry and that weird video where the crabs dance with Britany Spears to the Castaway music? I don’t think so! The answer is a lot of time.

There’s already 8 or 9 scripts I’ve written for it, and I think they are all solid. We need to rerecord them because the sound quality is B-A-D BAD, and because the person who voices Martini is a little jackass, but when that is done, we’ll get the series more on the road. Even though people don’t like the first episode very much at all, we won’t give up there.

What else? Oh, yeah, I got featured on the front page of Bananasurprise.com, too. I mean, all I had to do was send in a picture, but it’s still pretty cool.

SURPRISE!

SURPRISE!

So, there you have it. A new Reubnick in the future. Less in front of the camera, and more behind it for me. if by some chance, my channel finally takes off this year, I’ll go back to doing what I’m doing, but for right now, I think I’ll just write more scripts. I’m still going to write annoyingly large ammounts of twitter updates, but I just won’t be on Youtube as much.

I mean, right now, I’ve got like 5 feature length movie scripts I’d like to write just for the heck of it, and for possible use in the future. They are all genious in my opinion. Plus, I’m going to release a free book I wrote sometime soon, so hopefully people will enjoy that.

Normally, I’d end posts like these on a discouraged note, but I’ve realized I really shouldn’t get discouraged about doing what I’m doing until I’m in college, and things still don’t go very well for me. But, If I don’t get into the Second City, and then SNL, I’ll just become a politician! It’s a good plan.

So, don’t worry about Reubnick, because I’m alright!

Martini Martian.

So, is anybody here from the link at the end of the Martini Martian video on Albinoblacksheep? You click the logo with my face and you end up here?

Well, if that’s a case, drop me a comment and tell me what you thought.

I have over a thousand subscribers now?

Posted in Youtube in general. with tags , , , on August 11, 2009 by reubnick

Well folks, it finally happened. Reubnick now has over a thousand subscribers. 1,724 to be precise. I got approximately 1,188 new subscribers last night. Granted, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM is a fake, sockpuppet account, there’s nothing I can do about it now, so why not run with it?

As you could tell, this is rather bittersweet, seeing as most of them aren’t real, but I guess in the long run, it’s a good thing. Hopefully now this can get me some attention, and it can create a snowball effect to actually get me some real subscribers.

Of course, I’m not really happy for two reasons. 1, like I said, is that these aren’t real subscribers, so there’s no reason for me to actually feel proud. 2, I’m afraid that Youtube might get word of this and close my channel down or something. I don’t know. But I can always still park the username “ReubenGlaser” if I need to.

So, that’s that. Technically, I should have some sort of “most subscribed this week” honor, but it hasn’t shown up yet, and I don’t really deserve it. Whatever, though. I’m in the ranks of Ben Stiller this week.

So, take it how you want to. Believe me, this isn’t any of my doing. It just happened. I don’t know who did it, or why it happened, but like I said, there’s nothing I can do about it.

*Rasing a glass to robots.*

what

This, the week of my sister’s wedding.

Posted in Other crap... with tags , on July 5, 2009 by reubnick

Well guys, here I am at the week of my sister’s wedding. 6 days away actually. That means I have quite a bit on my plate already. Plus, my dad has 5 fractured ribs still, so I’ll need to do a lot of extra housework and hooplah to make everything look all pretty, too. We’ve also got a guy from Germany coming to our house for this wedding, and all kinds of crazy stuff. Plus, you guys don’t know my family…or at least my sister. Everything about this wedding needs to be made a huge deal of. It’s been that way for the last year and a half, and now that it’s down to the wire… yikes. Don’t even get me started on the pig roast, which is ridiculous, because I’m pretty sure my stupid fat uncle is just going to eat the whole thing before any of us can actually get to it.  But, congrats to her for trying the knot. Needless to say, don’t expect any new videos for a couple days, though.

Don’t I look just positively dapper, though?

Stylin'

Stylin'

Honestly, though, have you guys noticed I’ve been on FIRE lately? Probably not, because still, nobody cares about me…but I’ve noticed. Slowely, but surely, I’m rising the charts one subscriber at a time, which really isn’t much, but since I have such lowered expectations since I realized I’ll never be a big deal on youtube, that’s great to me. Plus, the twitter bots have just been throwing themselves at me, too. Most importantly, however, I’ve been getting used to Sony Vegas, too, which is really putting me over the edge. At this point, I might actually have a thousand subscribers by the time I graduate highschool if I’m lucky. So, things have been going pretty well for Reubnick, and I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited for the future of my channel. Wooo…

See ya guys when I see ya.

BREAKING NEWS: Danny Devito reported alive at home.

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , on June 26, 2009 by reubnick

Hello everybody, it’s Reubnick. Here’s just a bit of breaking, feel good news I think we can all enjoy in liu of all of this Michael Jackson sadness. At least in these sad times we can look on the bright side with this news gem. Enjoy.

Beverly Hills, Jun 26, 2009 4:01 pm PDT

After an extremely involved search spanning all of California, a reliable source has confirmed that investigators have found Danny Devito alive in his Beverly Hills home.

He is 64.

Journalists are reporting that after hours of searching, they located the every man character actor, best known for playing his stoic, blunt, outlandish characters, and for his role as ”Phil” in the Disney Movie Hercules, alive and in good sorts in his home.

He has a wife, Rhea Perlman, and three kids.

He was pronounced alive at the scene at 4:01 pm, June 26th.

He continues to give his legions of fans fond memories and innumerable movies and productions for years to come.

”I can tell you at this time that we were notified by Beverly Hills Police Department detectives that Mr. Devito was located in his home laying on the bed, and he was fully responsive and animated and was pronounced alive at approximately 4:01 this afternoon,” Chief of Police David Snowden was reported as saying. “There appeared to be a number of psychological and physical ailments not affecting Devito in any way, therefore leading to him still being alive.”

Snowden concluded his conference by saying “We request that Mr. Devito’s fans and reporters continue to act in a similar nature to the way they usually do to the Devito family in these non-emotional and entirely non-sad and somber times, because he is alive with nothing wrong with him.”

No “immediate, or neccessary” autopsy is scheduled, Snowden said, because Devito is alive.

When contacted, Devito’s psyician stated “My client is in perfect health, with no concerning issues. Why are you guys here?”

When asked to elaborate, he declined further comment.

“Yes, I will admit I am a fan of Danny Devito, and have been for many years.” said South Carolina native Percey Goldstein. “I am absolutely not saddened by the fact that he is alive, and am in fact not surprised that he is alive either, because there has not appeared to be anything wrong with him in recent months. It would be a hard couple of weeks for me, and all of his fans if he was not alive…but he is, so we aren’t going to have to deal with any emotional hardship, at all. Yes, why are you asking me these questions?”

No people at all formed around the Devito houshold in support and sadness, because Devito is alive.

“I feel greatly relived that Danny Devito is alive”, Daria Garnder, of Grand Rapids Michigan, told reporters. “You know, it really puts my life back in order. I’m just wondering how his family is doing. It’s really all about the kids.”

Other fans reacted in different ways.

“I woke up, and was completely shocked to hear that Danny Devito was alive today.” explained floored fan Deb Appleton ”It was the last thing I was expecting to hear. I am desperate to know how Rhea’s doing.”

Devito is currently part of the cast of  the FX series”It’s always sunny in Phildelphia”, playing Frank Reynolds, and is attatched to “Rush Hour Four”, which is in post production, amongst other endeavors. These projects are scheduled to continue as usual, because Devito is alive.

Danny Devito’s estate is still currently under his name because he is still alive.

No funeral or public viewing is scheduled, either, because he is alive.

Danny Devito

 

Expect a video about this soon, Reubnick fans. If you feel like sending me a video for it telling me your thoughts on this non-tragic event, please feel free to.

Yet another roadblock…

Posted in me bitching on June 10, 2009 by reubnick

Ok. It’s official. BestBuy is an absolute piece of shit. The entire franchise. Every store, every single person working there. I am now vowing to NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER make another big purchase there ever again. I am getting SICK of being lied to, and I am getting SICK of being sucked dry of all of my money at the expense of the lies that these worthless humans they hire have been telling me.

evil

I’m dead serious. It’s honestly a crime. I have been getting flat out lied to in order for these stupid little scavengers that work there to get their little bonuses for every purchase made. BestBuy sucks. I hate it. Screw Bestbuy.

Why am I so angry THIS time? Well…do you guys remember that camera I bought for 400 dollars for my videos last summer? The one that they TOLD ME could transfer video via USB. Well, we remember what happened with that. It did NOT transfer with USB, and FireWire was all that worked. I did NOT have FireWire. Because of that, it sat in the closet for an entire year. untouched, and unused. My stimulus money out the window.

Well, I figured that the jackass who sold me that camera…er, should I say JACKASSES at the 2 different locations…were just bad apples. It was a bad coincidence that I managed to encounter the worst, most scheming, conniving bottom feeders in the entire franchise. I assumed not everybody would lie to me like that.

Well, over a thousand dollars later on a completely new computer, I WAS WRONG.

Reuben: “Hey, before we put our money down and buy this thing, I need to ask the most important question of all. This computer DOES have firewire, correct? I’ll be able to transfer files from my old camera that only uses FireWire, right?”

Chris, the best buy guy: “Oh, yeah. Don’t worry, you definitely can. It’s on the back.”

Reuben: “And you are positive, right? There is DEFINITELY FireWire? I need to be sure.”

Chris: “There is definitely firewire, don’t worry.”

Reuben: “ok. Goooood. That’s my biggest concern.”

That is the actual conversation I had when we were about the purchase this computer. Maybe not word for word, but this occured.

Guess what I found out…the hard way, today? This fucking computer does not have firewire. I bought the “Dell – Inspiron Desktop with Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E7400″ and today, in a fit of confusion and rage, I looked at this computer’s specs.

lies

No, I am serious. Now here I am, STILL with a camera I can’t use. I mean it, I’m not made of money, and I simply can’t go out and buy whatever the hell a FireWire card is. I thought that this computer would be it, but of course, I am wrong.

Now what am I supposed to do?

This new computer is all good and dandy, but I still can’t use my good camera. I am still going to be stuck with my goddamn little McDonald’s toy sized camera with the measly 15 minutes of video on it.

I am sick of this. I am sick of technology. It’s always something. There is ALWAYS something more. Always. No matter what. Because this is such a greedy nation filled with the most self-centered a-holes in the world, there always has to be something else. Forget about kindness and flatout human goodness, if there isn’t a way for Mr. Big Business to get richer and suck the average class person like my self dry, it’s not good enough. There’s always gotta be something else.

I don’t know why the people at Best Buy feel that they need to lie to me. It’s working in getting my dirty money, and it’s also succeeding in making me absolutely miserable and lose all of my faith in mankind.

So I honestly don’t know what this means for me. Nothing is ever simple for me. Nothing ever seems to go the right way for me. I just guess it will never be as easy as using the sparce money we have to buy a new computer, and go from there. There’s always a roadblock, and It’s gotten to the point I just can’t take it anymore. This could have been avoided had the guy at Best Buy not lied to me, but I see that it’s just unrealistic to expect somebody to treat me like that in this day and age.

Bottom line, this is a huge sucker punch to any motivation I haven’t lost in the last six months. I think I’ve finally gotten discouraged enough that I might just give up. This is ridiculous. Ever since I started this stupid video cpmputer thing, it’s given me nothing but heartbreak, disappointment, and a severely depleted sense of pride for my species. Going on 3 years, I just don’t really feel like doing this anymore.

I know that now it will probably be even longer until a lose a video, and I will just lose even more of my subscribers. I’m tired of losing subscribers. So many people have subscribed, given me false hope, and at the first sign I’ve hit a down period, they turn their backs and run away.

I don’t want people to turn their backs on me anymore. I’m done with that.

Now, I know somebody once told me that all of these crap things that are happening (I.E. nothing ever going right, hitting a wall in getting more popular, never getting the attention I wish I had on here) is just me paying me dues, but I’ve decided I am sick and tired of paying my dues. That’s all I do anymore is “pay my dues”.

So maybe I’m not cutout for this.  I don’t know. All I know is that since January, I’ve just about burned out on here, and when I try to reboot and restart things, this crap happens.

I think that’s it. I’ve burned out again.

Guess who got a new computer!?!?

The answer to that question would be me. I did. So, to be brief about this, that means that pretty much all of my problems are solved. Hooray!

Yay!

Yay!

And for any questtions left unanswered, this video should clear them up.
