[WhiteBrightNeon]

Who's Nate???

[katz20two]

Nate = Blunty3000... a pretty well known video blogger here on YouTube... actually much more known than me! I had to show this to him just to tease a bit... THANKS!

[sinstresses]

I feel like that when i have a few days off of work or go on vaction. Like I will go back and suddenly everything will be so different.

[katz20two]

EXACTLY! strange phenomenon isn't it?

[blkbishop112]

How is Kat O tonic doing these days, did she enjoy the move?

[katz20two]

oh... LOLOL! Kat a tonic is currently being located right now... she, uh, well, she is in a box on a boat in the Pacific Ocean somewhere between the US and Australia right now.

[blkbishop112]

Ok, she going to be a little Sea sick when she gets there so give her two Vicodin and send her to bed.

[blkbishop112]

Hey Katz I missed you welcome back.

[katz20two]

blkbishop! hellllooooo! how are ya doing these days??

[blkbishop112]

I'm doing awesome, working my butt off, Literally i've lost 70 lbs since April, I'm videoing the weight-ins so i'm going to be make a video when it's all done. Before me and After Me :)

[DaRaiders]

is this fake? is Blunty fucking fake?

[katz20two]

hey there DaRaiders... ooo! wait! a Raiders Fan?? *ducks and hides* well I can't support you on your football choices *giggle* you folks are tough... it does sound like a crazy story, but no. not fake at all. its all very true and as real as it comes. its the coolest thing about youtube to be able to share it with folks. and also the saddest thing that so much stuff on here can feel 'deceptive'... makes me sad and a bit frustrated about it at times too.

[delayedhaven]

so glad you're back!

[apixelintime]

Gertrude!! Darned great to see/heer you again!

Hope you are getting settled in over the rainbow.

Havahappy!

EAT PASTE!!

Christopher

[katz20two]

CHRISTOPHER!!! hope you had wonderful holidays!!! hugs to the family!

[apixelintime]

We did and I will. Hope yours were a little more peaceful that I can imagine a transcontenentel (sp?) move can be. Hugs to you from me and the kiddos!

Havahappy!

[xpgx1]

niiiceee ;D A life sign at last from you ;D

[onceyougoatee]

America misses you Katz. Good to see your face again.

[dummy0815]

Hi,

you say it's sad but lough.

I say it was so funny but shed crocodile tears ;-)

[katz20two]

LOLOL!  big smilin' crocks!! thanks!

[LeStudd]

You are adorable

[Naradio]

where in america were u from, katz?

anyways, welcome to australia <3

[katz20two]

California ;))  Thanks so much for the welcoming!

[clurin]

Welcome back, Katz! =)

[Marihani]

It is so good to see your smile and hear your laugh! You are great, Katz! But do get practicing your intro! LOL!

[katz20two]

*giggle* as always love hearing from ya Mari!

[Marihani]

And I love seeing/hearing from you, Katz! Have fun at "school"! (University, college, thingamajig!) HAHA! Wish I could sit on your shoulder and monitor the classes!

Makes me all warm and fuzzy to know that you and Nate can finally settle down together! Woohoo!

[Ray30]

Welcome back and it is ok. I am still trying to get myself in front of the camera to a video blogg. It isn't as easy as I thought lol. Cool video. I liked the outtakes at the end.

[DaleATL2]

((hugs)) and <3 to you Down Unda! It was so good to hear your voice! XD

[katz20two]

hi Dale! Hope you are able to get some sleep!!! Lots o' luvin and big congrats to you and your family!!!

[katz20two]

*waves* hello again Mikma!! Been craving grape juice for months!!!

[vanityinc]

We missed you.

[patkav101]

katz, your such a natural actor i dont know when your acting or if your been up front! Please share the details of your story with those of us that are new to your vlogs. I think you are so great. Hope the happiness lasts.

[katz20two]

lolol!! for this one... not "acting" at all! I really am this dorky in real life! Actually, most of my videos are not me 'acting' a character (well, unless you count kat a tonic - but she's a puppet)...

[PianoGirlLara87]

well, I am glad to see that things appear to be going well for you.. I liked the ending lol.. I have a few insecurities sometimes in front of the camera (even though if you watch my vids you'd never tell lol).. I hope everything goes well with you and nate :-)

[katz20two]

I do have lots of "reenactments" of stuff that really does happen to me, where I just do the dorky thing I did earlier (ie. 'so very tired' viddy) but I usually call myself on it when I do in the vid via text or something. But if you are talking about the ending here... or any outtakes... those are always true oopsies.

[patkav101]

Thanks katz for info. So infuture i can take what you say and do as been the real you, not the youtuber katz. Loved you tubeaholic video. You have a great talent for this form of communication. keep developing it. Tell us about life in Taz for Katz some time! Love your smile!

[EvRLost]

Yayyyyy!!! Katz is back! We missed ya terribly...can't wait to your next and next and next vids :) (no pressure).If your blocked for ideas how about a "Katz down under" series about adjusting to life in Aussie land. Anywhooo...glad to have you both blogging again ;)

[katz20two]

hmmm... good idea... *adds to list* I'll see what I can do!

[lefrash]

Id ride you

[JoeBobOneHalf]

Good to see you back!

[rayvyn2k]

Yaaayyyy!! Welcome back, you have been missed! I'm happy to read that you guys at least snagged your "name" over at LV before someone else did...whew. It is sooo nice to see your cute face again! Woohoo!

[katz20two]

LV... yeah, I know I learned when I found out that Nates Blunty3000 was taken on Stickam.

So glad to talk with ya again rayvyn!! y'all are soo cool!

[Elphyrafire]

I know what you mean- it feels like we all have been on such a journey together- I've watched you since your Youtubeaholic meeting vid and you have come so far, with Blunty and ebay and all. I'm happy you're vlogging again.

Your loyal fan, Erica

[katz20two]

Hi Erica *big hug*! I am always so glad to see ya dropping a comment!! *internal thought when I get a comment email* 'yeah! Elphyrafire stopped by!!'

Its folks like you that make this so very worth it ten times over!!

thanks!

[OC5]

Yes. I can't bring myself to do it either

[OC5]

post, that is.

[katz20two]

I have to admit, once you get one out there it's easier to make another and another... but in the beginning I found it was much easier to start with a viddy response than just talk or starting with something big etc. I'm sure many youtube vloggers would say that viddy responses are great warm-ups. be sure to drop an email if you ever do post.

[OC5]

you got it. Thanks for the advice. I just need build up the impetus I think.

[JamesTheWolf]

yesssss! great to see Katz again. we here at Youtube missed you. now the withdrawall symptoms have *violent twitch* ended for the most part

[katz20two]

*giggle*  as always James you crack me up... oh and I hear there is a cream for those twitches... ;)

[kassidynet]

You probably don't know me, and this is, I think, my first comment on one of your videos, but I can identify with what you're saying about getting back on the bike. Going to add you to the subscriptions, so you may well be hearing more from me. Oh, and I hope this comment finds you well. ;)

[katz20two]

hi kassidynet. Welcome to my lil' corner!! Thanks so much for adding me to your subs!

[Kedoke]

I found your vids right about the time you stopped posting -- very funny and very entertaining . . . so I'm happy to see that your channel is now "active" again. I look forward to more!

[katz20two]

hi Kedoke! thats very cool! that was a strange occurrence for me... most of the times I get subscribers after I post a video, but I did pick up some while I was gone too! very flattering!! I kept thinking... why are they subscribing?? I haven't done anything for weeks! *giggle*

thanks so much!

[ZanyBear]

RAWR!!

[muserine]

Good to have you back!

I felt the exact same way when I made my first video after 3 weeks of absence. Just ...odd! ;-)

[xleax]

lol the ending is great. I hope this comment finds you well

[lolamaloanie1]

hehe.. glad to see you back, i actualy asked on one of Nates videos how you were.... but you probably know he doesnt answer many of his comments :P

i also know how you feel as you can tell from my lack of anything good on my channle... i hate recording myself on cam... and talking to myself... just too odd... yet i can sit on stickam all day on cam.. meh

x

[katz20two]

ha! and being on stickam was so very strange for me!! making a short vlog seems to let me off the hook more... I only have 5 mins of making myself look like a complete dork ;)))

[lolamaloanie1]

hahahaha well i dont think you look like a dork

[revilomat]

Yiha, you are back! :-)

[aardkwak]

still a good one!

[IslandHermit]

Nine weeks, four days, six hours and twelve minutes, actually. ;-)

[musosf]

Welcome back Katz! You know you can just be you...that's why people started liking your videos in the first place. Looking forward to seeing what that bag o' tapes yields.

[jamj30]

welcome back :)

[clearbluereason]

Great to have you back, Katz! This was a great return viddy. I hope you get to relax a bit before classes start.

[Jackie615]

It's just great to have you back.. and happy! :)

[shiftloads]

Maybe vlogging on "dry" might help, you don't have to upload anything..

[katz20two]

ah yes I thought of that, but getting over the "upload and actually put yourself out there" fear is all part of the process as well!

[welcomestranger]

Yay... emerging from out of the bat-cave! I don't know what I would do if I was away from YT for that long... people would forget about me and find some other silly monkey to oogle at...

[katz20two]

aww sharpy, you know there is no better silly monkey to look at than you!

[welcomestranger]

Hmmmmm *Sharpy sifts through the words to find the "positive spin"...in the end he eats a banana while contemplating things to hurl* Oo oo. Aaa aaaaa. Oooooo! :)

[wisetara]

I thought you'd gone down under and been swallowed whole--I'm so glad to see you doing a vlog, any vlog. Thanks for sharing your insecurities with us, and I look forward to your first magic hand gesture in Australia that produces text. But no pressure. :-)

[katz20two]

it is so funny you said, vlog... any vlog. Nate has been saying that for days... just a vlog, any vlog, tell folks how you are doing... *giggle* and all i could respond with is I know, I know!!

[ChoChoMojo]

Oh yay your back! It was fun seeing you guys on Stickcam the other night too. I hope you make a video of how things are there now that you are settled in. Welcome Back to YouTube!

[katz20two]

hi there ChoCho! thanks again for stopping by Stickcam and for the welcome back!!

[YourTubeNEWS]

oh god .. going through those tapes are going to be horrible Katzy! Welcome back, it was wonderful to hear from you. You're riding your bicycle fine :) lmfao at the end, SOOO SOO true.. *stares at camera blankly until the damned thing turns off* :D

[katz20two]

-re: stack o' tapes- it is very surreal. As I was waiting for this vid to compress I started to delve through some of them... so much happened in such a small period, I have no idea what I am going to do with some of the footage... honestly though, I had to stop a little bit into it because some of the footage with my cats in it just pulled on the ol' heart strings, so it is going to take me a little while.

anywhoo... thanks for the welcoming!!

[katz20two]

oh! and yesyesyes!! the camera thing!! happens ALL the time!! at least three times on this vid alone!

[YourTubeNEWS]

preaching to the choir!!! :D

[thewolfie1988]

Woo, Kat's back.  I'm so happy you and blunty are able to relax a bit now. Loved the video...and the pigtails...

[katz20two]

*waves* hi wolfie! thanks so much! it is so very nice to be able to relax a bit!!!

[crazybooshins]

it's like you're coming out of the youtube closet! or..cave? anyway, good to see you making videos again! :)

[katz20two]

"out of the cave" yeaup! and it feels like it too!! *cue voiceover* 'long time ago when man was just a simple bacteria, there was this video blogger...'

[TheGreatAndMightyMe]

Hey. No worries. We support you and we have been waiting. Its just good to know that you haven't died or given up on YouTube. (Wow my priority matching is strange)

Signed,

Alex

[katz20two]

ha!! the priority matching is hilarious!! thanks!

[smartwitch101]

I'm glad you're back.  I loved the 'talking to yourself' thing.

[katz20two]

thanks!

talking to self... glad you liked!... thought it was just flat out done before and cheezy but I do admit when I pulled those clips I was seriously 'arguing with myself' at the time!!

[wildchats]

It was great seeing you guys on that site the other day. Remember I was the one who wrote and sang the "Nate" theme song and wore all my hats on my head. You and Nate need to join Live Video! Post some stuff there!

[katz20two]

LV... well I snagged my name before it got taken and I think Nate did to (not positive) but I think I am safe to say for the two of us... one site is plenty. YouTube is our home. so I don't forsee either of us actually posting on Live Video anytime soon.

[Misanthrope1980]

Glad to see you back! It's only natural to feel out of sync. But you did fine, and it made me laugh. Especially the last bit with the camera turning off.

[katz20two]

lol!! it happened about three times!!  Thanks so much!
