Basically, after my, “100 Videos” vlog, I created a new channel for lazyvlogs only. So if you want to watch my lazyvlogs, then head on over to here to watch them. This meant that I can now start focusing my vlogs on one channel, allowing me to become more dedicated to creating vlogs and keep the channel updated.
This was the first video to come from this new found dedication.
It helps explain to students how they can survive on the money loaned to them by the government, introducing tips and tricks to saving money.
Wow! It has been a while since I updated this! I’m sorry!
Ever since I got back from America my mind has been all over the place really! Especially with college assignment hand in dates and then having to deal with personal brain thinky things.
But here are some videos for you!
THE SHOUT OUT!
This was a small shout out video to some of the users that requested me to shout them out, it’s nothing big really, but I do want to show my audience that I am there for them, not just for myself. I want to include them and I listen to their comments and such.
100 VIDEOS!
This was a celebration vlog if you wish, I was notified by a fan that I was one video away from 100 and that I should do something big for it…this wasn’t something big, but it was something!
First things first, I want to just apologize for the lack of content in recent weeks. Basically, ever since I went to New York I’ve been swamped with work, and very recently just got given six essays to do. Joy of joys, I know. But as well as being swamped I have now decided that I’m just going to post blogs about the main vlogs I put up rather than the lazyvlogs as the lazyvlogs generally tend to lack content, whereas the vlogs have content.
So here is the first proper vlog since returning back from New York! …Well, besides the “I Am Back” video, that was just an update.
So there you go. I’ve known Luna Kiss since last year when I filmed them for a TV production at my college, to start with I had so much on my mind that I didn’t even take notice of the music they were playing right in front of me, but later that day I went to add them on Facebook and thought I’d listen to their tracks and I was blown away. After that I just talked to some of the members in general, mainly Wil and Ross and I ended up attending quite a few of their gigs and forming a slight friendship with them. Then in July they did a gig in a car park and I got my poster signed and also purchased the very first album. And by that, I mean, I was the first customer! I always remember that day.
Now, I get asked to help promote them and get word about about certain events and such, for example, this vlog helped get word out about the new track that’s coming out on the 21st May. It’s lovely to establish friendships with people like musicians or film makers! And also any other type of person obviously!
But yeah, here are the bands information if you feel like checking them out!
I left United Kingdom on the 24th April to go to New York and film a documentary with my university group. It’s safe to say it was the best experience of my life.
Here is part one!
Here is part 2!
Firstly, I would like to stress that this was my first time flying, and I was amazed by it! I had been warned by my friend that take off was perhaps the worst bit, but I wasn’t bothered by it at all. Maybe that’s because I was sat back listening to Pink Floyd whilst looking out the window. The whole seven hours were something I would never have imagined experiencing. I enjoyed and cherished it.
New York is pretty much how I imagined it…but it was also so much more than I imagined. When I left the station and arrived at Madison Square Garden for the first time, I was overwhelmed by the traffic, buildings and the scale of everything, but oddly, it didn’t seem different. I went through the whole week feeling like I belonged in New York. Everything, despite how different to the British culture, felt so natural. However, this was only Midtown, where I was welcomed by fumes, busy streets, litter, and a somewhat, “grey” feeling lingering over me. There were also people multi-tasking to the max! I saw a man crossing the road and continuing to walk whilst reading a novel. I saw a woman riding a pushbike with her head tilted enough to clasp her mobile phone between her head and her shoulder. I saw a skateboarder cruising through busy traffic. One night, I did wander around Times Square alone. Something I was advised not to do but did anyway. And I have to say, it really isn’t as bad as everyone makes out! Sure, keep your wits about you, keep your hands on your pockets, walk fast and if possible walk around people not through them. But I didn’t witness or experience any type of violence or mugging.
An Aerial Shot of Midtown.
I did venture down into Downtown and Uptown. What I loved about Downtown, the traffic of people and automobiles were far less and you could really just walk around the area and take it all in. It was cleaner too, and felt very warm as opposed to the gloomy, gritty feeling you get when you’re in Midtown. A place I went to Downtown was Ground Zero. In my vlog it clearly shows I had an emotional experience. I never would have expected the size to be so immense. The pictures didn’t seem that big at all. I’m on about the sheer width of it, I knew the height was going to be massive as it was a skyscraper, but the width just threw me off. I was glad to have experienced seeing it. However, my favorite area by a long shot, was Uptown and Central Park. Uptown, like Downtown was less busy then Midtown and looked so much cleaner and welcoming. And Central Park was just amazing to walk through. The greenness of the grass, the mountains of bedrock, the lovely little lakes, and the social culture occurring around me. I would happily live in Uptown. In fact, in Britain I don’t feel comfortable at all going out for a jog in my area. I’ve tried it before a few times and I always ended up running through a woodland because I just don’t feel comfortable, with Central Park though, I felt really comfortable, so comfortable that I had to hold myself back from actually jogging in my heavy clothes. It was just the perfect environment for me.
I also went to the American Museum of Natural History…eventually after being directed to the Metropolitan Museum of Art first. But, despite it looking nothing like how it did in, ”Night At The Museum” I still spent as long as I could looking through the exhibits and just enjoying myself. Sadly, I missed a few exhibits I think because the museum announced that it would be closing in the next ten minutes at 6pm, despite the fact that my ticket said it was valid until 8pm.
All in all, I visited a few more places and I am glad to have experienced New York in the way that I did, with friends and also alone. I would gladly love to go back to America, I now have a craving for it and I miss it already. I just don’t miss the jet lag that comes with it.
Maybe someday I’ll go back to America and experience another state.
Hahaha, LOOK! It’s me as a small boy with a funny looking face!
Literally ten minutes after walking into the house, I decided I should do another lazyvlog and keep you all up to date on things…but not before flaunting my new red shirt around in your faces. It had to be done. Although, don’t worry! I wasn’t really photocopying money, that’s impossible to do…and illegal. Don’t be a silly, stay away from Jail. That will now be your new motto to live by, and you will pass that quote down to your grandchildren, and they shall pass it to their grandchildren. It’s a known fact, I know because I’ve been to the future.
Anyway, besides the red T-shirt, the dog chewing wood and me pretending to photocopy money, I showed you a bunch off photos from my childhood. It’s brilliant isn’t it? Our parents put pictures of us up from when we were kids and leave them there for years and never take them down. They completely ignore our current avatars or pictures from the present day and just stick with the past!
Anyway, I suppose that could be seen as a rant in someway, so I can say, “rant over” and move on to saying goodbye, because I have quite a few things to do tonight.
Sort of, making plans for the future and sorting money out type of plans.
If you like seeing photos of your blogger then I suggest you head over to my Razzi page and go and have a look at some of the photos there, they usually serve as a photographic look at something I did that day, so it’s interesting! I guess.
Also, if you haven’t already then head on over to my Facebook Fan Page and keep up to date on the latest videos from all my channels and some news!
It was such a busy day today! In terms of currency!
DOLLAZ
Basically, with going to New York next week, I need to start getting my money sorted, so Alex, Ian, and myself all ventured to town and got some quotes from two cash conversion places, one being a post office, we ended up going to the pub to have a meal, a drink, and a talk and discussion about which one would be the best place for us to go for. After about an hour and a half, we decided and had our money! Then went back to college to flash it at our group and continue with “work”.
Now I have lotsa dollars and have been told countless times how expensive New York is, and that there is VAT to add onto the prices, whereas over here in the UK we don’t get that. I don’t really understand it all so I’m going to choose to ignore it all and just purchase things that look cheap. Sounds like a plan to me!
Also, I have a big plan up my sleeve too, if you’re a person that lives in New York and are going to be anywhere in Times Square then you may want to keep your eyes peeled for a post explaining what’s going on! It involves finding notes from me in places! Might be fun!
Anyways, I’m going to go and add some annotations to that video above, get some coffee and watch TV!
Do you like music videos? Or maybe even British accents and words being spoken in a British way? Then this post is for YOU!
NEW MUSIC VIDEO
So today, I had a shift at Starbucks, a trial shift to see how I feel about working in the environment and how they feel about me working there. It went well I believe, however, like always I tend not to get my hopes up in case the answer is no. Other than that, I spoke about the men’s hatred of shaving with a blunt razor…honestly, you girls don’t know what it’s like to snag hair from your face with a really blunt razor, it hurts!
Other than that I urged you to go and check out the brand new solo cover from Matt Bate, which was directed and edited by me and can be viewed right here Seriously, go check it out, I’m actually quite proud of it! I haven’t been proud of something I’ve done besides my vlogs in a long time!
ACCENT SURVEY
Now the accent part, my friend Llamangoes4eva told me about an accent survey thing she was told to do a while back, and I was currently looking for a topic to do a vlog on as I had the house to myself. So I went for this! Hope you like it!
