No title available

Hopefully, I'll be getting a brand new sparkly (no, not really) camera quite soon, so that means...
*EPIC DRUMROLL*
that I will start making Vlogs.

I've already written 5 episodes, as I call them, because they aren't a Vlog per se, but a awkward hybrid between a video blog and a comedy episode. It's hard to explain, but it's going to be ridiculous, if not entertaining. So expect that.

I'm going to film more Let's Plays as well; thing is I'm short on time lately. And because of that, I'm going to re-write part of my homework (because the teacher wants some blank space on the left of the page to add comments and I forgot to do that) and play Mass Effect 3, maybe watch a couple of episodes of Doctor Who as well.

PS: For some reason there's a serious shortage of really awesome videos on YouTube lately. WHAT HAPPENED GUYS???

My camera is CRAP

My video camera is the worst piece of garbage that has even been made on Earth. The quality is absolutely horrendous. I just want to throw it out of the window. That's how pissed I am with it.
On the camera's tiny screen everything looks fine; but the moment I transfer the video files on my computer; boom, the screen is so grainy and the quality is the worst. I'm not exaggerating. It's THE WORST.
And this is why I can't make a vlog right now. Because there's no way I'm uploading that...thing.
Sad thing is I can't really afford an HD super expensive amazing camera, so I'll try using my mobile phone; hell I'm sure the quality will be a million times better than what my camera produces.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?


UPDATE: I'll either get one of those Flip cams or a fancy (yes affortable-ish) Canon. I actually want this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Canon-Powershot-SX240-Digital-Camera/dp/B0074K1JUE/ref=sr_1_7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1360913236&sr=1-7 , which is a little too expensive for me but I might ask my parents to contribute. Until then I can't really film anything that isn't of terrible quality.

Define funny

What is funny?
No, seriously, what is that thing that makes us laugh? Is it something specific, or something broad and who defines it?
What makes a thing funny and another boring? Is it a talent that some people are born with?
And what makes a person interesting? Entertaining? Likable?

I stumbled upon all of these questions while trying to make a vlog. At first it seemed easy, considering how effortlessly dozens of people on the internet did it. But then, I started wondering; what if people don't like this and that, what if they think I'm boring and whatnot, what if I'm the dullest person in the history of humanity?
All these questions and doubts are the reason I'm doing this on the first place. But I can't help but feeling a little insecure about my personality; which halts any progress I've made so far.
I tried to watch videos that make me laugh and try to separate the 'element of fun' from them, but all my efforts failed. Simple, regular things were the ones that made me laugh; nothing fancy and rehearsed.
I realised that you don't really have to try so hard - it's like real life; if others get your sense of humour, then good, if not, well, then they're not for you.
Maybe it's that very fear that's holding me back from being the real me; I try to maintain my 'Haters gonna hate' and 'Screw people' attitude, but sometimes I just feel stupid and the least funny person in the room.

But I'm stubborn as a mule and I'll do make this vlog. I don't care if people don't even laugh with me (hopefully not at me) - wait, I actually do care. What I mean to say is that I'll try to prove myself that I am interesting enough to be liked - hell, the planet has 6 billion people!

Whatever. If all else fails, I'll just stick to gaming.
