Well your vid made me smile. I think your interest group of people who came up through the 00tis and tasted a measure of success and then it went bust, unlike the people who came through in the 80/90. One thing that sort of typical of your group is they seem unable to function with out spending x each day in coffee/bar its like there birth right. Still prehaps blue is the new black! I better say I am blue just to be a la mode!
@Larkvall - I can't see what you mean, what do you see at 4:29 ? It may be me sorry, I'm not always good on detail, but I'd love to know what you see :D
remember, all artists have a depressing slump before a great idea pops into their heads. happens to me all the time... although most of my great ideas come to me in the bathroom for some reason.
can you imagine what it be like if mites was like, whats the point? just think of all the mountains of skin cells and dust that would gather :S or if cows , goats suddenly didnt see the point in eating grass and ate real food instead , we wouldnt be a rocky watery planet anymore it be a green fury one, be no weather as all the grass would be in the way,but yeah for me each time i flush my loo thats abit of seabed ive added for the fishes, small contibution but it counts which means i count :)
Going out and doing something that does not cost any money. Hmmmm. Oddly enough, what I'm thinking about involves rubbing and concludes with happiness (for a while, anyway).
I reckon the secret is not to expect too much from life. I'm always on the search for happiness and contentment, and maybe they're right under my nose, and all I have to do is look at it. On the other hand I don't know if this is denial, and this method is sort of like giving up... Who knows, but I totally understand your video!
hamlet, "to die, to sleep, to sleep perchance to dream, there's the rub, for in that sleep of death what dreams may come?" i know major chunks of hamlet by heart don't i feel accomplished... i too am in your place, no motivation, none, gone, should but meh; and i love your conclusion.
@sobeit42 Yeah I realised after I posted. still at least I knew it first time I said it and then second guessed myself. Should have the courage of my convictions.
@Majoofi It's not software so much as an opt in on your browser. It's in the YouTube test tube area. I think YouTube. Com forward slash html5 should get you there. It may help.
"There's the Rub", an album from Wishbone Ash, 1974. I was an 18 year old hippie, and I wore a furry Afghan coat. On the cover of the album was a cricketer, rubbing the cricket ball into his groin. I guess that he was giving it the "rub", and is where the saying comes from.
@Majoofi I had problems with Flash Player a while back. It was working on everything but Youtube. I tried all the fixes suggested. After reinstalling it a dozen times and then uninstalling the Google tool bar I replied to a message from Google asking why I was not satisfied with it. I said I thought it might be effing up the Flash Player. Probably coincidence but everything worked the next day. In the end I think the problem is with Youtube. Good luck.
*hugs* Generally January is a rather flat uninspired time. I find that when it comes to motivating people the best policy is as you more or less said yourself leading by example. I hope things pick up again for you soon but I have to point out that your positive attitude already sets you appart from a massive amount of people in the same situation right now and that's great. Too many mopey people in the world. :)
HI! When’d you get back from Wales? I’m presently using one of the few computers in Battersea Library that haven’t been put into storage. Quite a few were damaged last week as the rain’s been coming in, and the reason for that is the lead’s been nicked off the roof. That’s enough engender positive feelings in one isn’t it?
I was rather gloomy BEFORE Christmas actually, perhaps to do with seasonal affective disorder. Or maybe it’s the ineluctable fact that life’s passing me by, I haven’t accomplished anything, now or ever, and I’m probably not going to. Still you’ve got to laugh.
Oof da. Elise Harris, YouTube star, broke, alone, in the doldrums. What chance do any of us have? Good luck finding your way - and how about throwing us a life preserver when you've done so?
And yet you haven't two farthings to rub together ! Is there an arboretum (B^IN#*N Big Greenhouse, we used to call 'em Arboureums) nearby ? Open ? Happy New Year, Hug a friend, It will help !
You seem interested in acting; do you have any interest in voice acting? I'm helping to make a computer RPG and we'll need voice actors before too long. It's not really a point-and-click adventure, but it's sort of close. Well, close-ish. You'd just need a semi-decent microphone and a way of making good quality recordings. We'd send you a representative copy of your work when it's done, and you could use that to make others envious, or even covetous, of your talent.
Emotions are transitory and evaporate.Take a look at death and after death as a yardstick.What actually MATTERS ? What would we have liked to accomplish and what of what we've done will have survived and helped others,long after we're gone? Shakespeare is remembered for what he gave us.I call it PENETRATION as a shorthand.Whether it's mass media,culture,comedy etc. How well did we contribute ? How much did we matter?(CharacterStains?)or "StalkingELISE".(Great Title)Like HAIR DAYS !!!!
How Depressing!!! Elise not feeling inspired - I have an idea; HOW ABOUT - settling down and writing a whole new set of material for the 2011 Edinburgh shows? Or even better - team up with ME to write a whole load more material for shows?

and doing things that seem to make others happy is not going to make you happy, nor is that the point

I too struggle to find motivation.... to finish decorating my place!Down to the lack of sunlight methinks.
I can sort of see where people are coming from with the MJ likeness but in my book I would put you as Konnie Huq meets Dr Alice Roberts.
I stumbled across your vids on youtube and I think you are a very talented lady who certainly makes me smile with your observations.
Good luck for this year fellow arian!
