YouTube is the Devil's YouTube

Original creation date: 20 April 2008 (4-20)

addicted to communication ---

addicted to information;

to information about the social world

and society around me

online personalities

television personalities

i saw julia stiles

at least i think it was julia stiles

anyway.

this is powerful shit

i need to read more and write less

i need to write about this project;

microfinance... yes... yay

facebook is sort of a marker of social status

because it was at first only open to US colleges

so its original image was 'elite'

otoh, myspace admits everyone and looks ugly and it's because it's badly planned

facebook is better designed

its weird though because now all you need is internet access and you can go on to facebook.

lol.

youtube is so bizarre

nalts invading happyslips apartment has got to be one of the best in the world.

that should really win an award or something, it's pure fucking genius, genius at its finest.

on a really really really low budget.

this is how i think.

in long leaps and weird looking sentences.

kapital

K(a) = (pi)(t^al)

or

K(a, rho) = i^t(alpha, l)

or K(alpha) = P - Interest + T + alpha*L

where alpha is defined as "living on a prayer";

K = Papermoney - Interest + Television + alpha*LemonCurd

Whats going on... headache... bad...

i got sick at her party, it's so weird.

she's like rachel all over again.

hahahaha

except this time it's me and not tony... lol

thats when inspiration hits... when you least want it to.

some people just wind up writing at night

youtube is such a huge perceived buffer between the real and the imaginary world it feels safe, but it really is not.

its a shame. such unique personalities on youtube.

obviously, communitychannel is immensely talented, and very attractive, obviously; see how i used obviously twice (or thrice) in the sentence.

hahahah... yeah... anyway

nalts. very talented, but in that weird way that only works online...

lisa nova, again immensely talented and attractive.

happyslip.

music is my antidrug

music is my antidrug

i know. watch some of those ridiculous, whatever is my antidrug commercial thingys;

copy them to do 'music is my antidrug'

this whole not having internet though sucking forces me to concentrate.

its a gray area, legally. i would argue that

the cult of youtube is destroying our children

more things i can do with my hands that other people cant

- yes; for example, using chopsticks

- and also; spinning a drumstick like that;

- and also- drumming;

- and also- sign language;

- and also- write;

- and also-

Brand New is very emo.

this is terrible writing because only the topic sentences of every thought are written down. the transitions are missing.

things i CANT do with my hands:

- play the air guitar/ real guitar

- play the bongos;

- dj;

- use a macintosh to save my life;

communitychannel doesn't edit out all the mistakes, which are the things that make her appear so genuine.

my reaction to lonelygirl15,

32974

actually happened:

i was like...

yeah... okay... whatever...

who the hell cares...

but there must have been alot of people out there

who were actually quite affected by the news. right.

anyway who cares. i cant even focus on this subject,

it's so boring.

how to sing to it as 'dreaming of you' by selena.

DJ Scoop

and frankly this is unbelievably boring

and i wait for the day [...] i love you

so goodbye

Hook as sung as 'my reaction to the spam drama'

YouTubeBlues Traveler - Hook, or My Reaction to the LisaNova Spam Drama Three Billion Years After It Happened

DJ Scoop

[Goto 3:17]

my reaction to the whole 'spam' drama with lisanova and communitychannel and channelreviews et cetera, three billion years after it happened:

the only reason this is interesting is because they're both hot.

spam is bad. but seriously... if i got a comment from lisa nova, i'd be happy; wouldn't you? i mean... christ.

it's like in high school when the popular kids had fights and then everybody talked about it for ages.

hahahah

what i'm really addicted to is my brain's amazing capacity to imagine. i crave that feeling above all else.

whereas television deadens your capacity to imagine actively and invites you to imagine passively, youtube encourages you to engage the imagination and becomes an addiction for people like me.

television and socialisation are pretty much the same in terms of the feelings you experience. that's why they're so easily combinable. the only difference in technical terms is that one of them affects you directly and the other only indirectly. treating the outside world like a big huge television show creates a comfortable barrier between oneself and the outside world but chides us to ignore basic realities and disconnect.

the thing is i am not very good at oral expression. it's just the way it is; i am a much better writer than speaker. then again, i'm a much better speaker than other people i know, but in absolute terms i'm in the bottom half. my best expression is through my writing.

in terms of writing i'd say i'm in the 99 percentile. i can write fucking awesome. hahahaha

fucking awesomely is the manner in which i am able to write.

LOOOOL

other things i can't do:

- play the piano

- play the violin

- etc. etc.

- operate a handgun

more things i can do:

- fire a gun

- bowling

- ping pong

- tennis

i miss skating.

what we need is a youtube wiki. WikiYouTube anyone? yes.
