Not fighting Addictions.



It's been 4 or 5 days... I cant remember. I need to make one right now... no, no, remember what the doctor said. But maybe I can make just a little short one, that's all, just like one or two minutes... uh, but I have to work. That's it! I can't take it anymore! ( ON PHONE: "Hi Mr. Boss Man, I can't come into work today... [ cough cough ] I'm sick" )

You know, I always new that I wanted to make videos and make people laugh, but I never thought that I would become so dependent on doing so. I'm addicted to making and posting youtube videos. I cant help myself. There is a thrill involved in putting a video online for complete strangers to watch. It is so rewarding.

I have uploaded probably 150 videos to youtube and other sites, some I have taken down off the Internet because of embarrassment. But now I find it hard to embarrass myself. After 2 years of people telling me I'm funny or horrible or the classic, which I seldom get, but it does come up every now and then, " Don't quit your day job ". To which I always reply, " I don't have to, I usually get fired ". lol.

But seriously there are some people in the Youtube Community that are just flat out haters. They only have bad things to say. At first I got upset at some of the horrible comments that I got, but over time, the haters bothered me less and less. Some people just are so un-happy with themselves that they have to go online and make others feel bad. Once you get over that, the fun begins.

I think one of the most rewarding parts of posting videos is getting comments. When someone you don't even know takes the time out of there busy day to comment on your video, you know you've made something worth talking about. And I think that has become my goal. Getting people to talk about my videos and my work.

If you have seen any of my videos, I would love to hear from you in the comments section of this post.

Cam, how are things in the Great White North? I haven't seen you on youtube in a while so i thought I would check in to make sure everything is okay in your world. Kind of weird maybe since we have never met, but after watching your videos for so long I feel I know you a bit. Anyway, like we say in Seattle, "I sure hope summer falls on a weekend this year". Get out and enjoy it while it's here...and don't forget your camera.
