Your comics rock. You rock. And we shall be sure to build you a statue if you die as a result of this experiment.
Oh, and the headaches are due to the constant barrage of sound against your eardrums. Happens to me from time to time when I play online games on XBOX360. Even when no one is talking the thing still makes a soft sound to let you know it's still working.
Your vanity is absolutely precious. xDD I promise we'll be all right with seeing your stubble. At the same time, I agree with others: it's really fascinating to watch you draw while you're talking. Seeing characters materialize out of seemingly nowhere is just fantastic.
I honestly thought this was an April Fool's joke sprung early....and then you kept going. The longest I've gone listening to an artist liked is 48 hours on continuous loop. You, sir, are some sort of god.
"Wouldn't 24/7/30 of ANY music get horribly annoying" turned to "If" needs a different verb... sigh. But "would get" wouldn't've fit my character limit anyway. Eh well.
Someone mentioned doing a similar journey with Chopin. I agree! If 24/7/30 of ANY music get horribly annoying, doing it with a less innately annoying one would give us a good baseline.
So if you're still game after this torture, give yourself a day's rest and do May 2-31 with a good Classical artist you're not familiar with, and then maybe use June for Reggae, Rap, Ska, or some other modern genre you don't currently enjoy. J-Pop? Finnish heavy metal? Kaptein Sabeltann?
After you've had plenty of time to rest up from this deafcapade I would like to see you attempt the same thing with say, Chopin.
I hope you are keeping daily journal recordings in a notebook as well as on video. You should be recording your overall mood, level of stress, any physical ailments and the degree to which they affect you, your ability to perform simple tasks like math or simple problem solving (puzzles and what not) etc etc etc.
What ever you do, seriously consider my earlier post.
...You might want to see a doctor about that. Symptoms that persist like that are usually a good reason to go see a doctor... Also: not sure if it actually applies, but taking that much Ibuprofen ( or any drug) regularly is not going to be good for you in the long run.
Not trying to be patronising, but I'd feel like a bad person if I didn't say something.
Thunt, shave? SHAVE? Who shaves anymore these days?
The baseball metaphor worked, btw. And headaches? Yeesh. Bieberaches.
Don't worry, Thunt. So far your videos have been great. You may not look like an action hero throwing out one-liners, but hey, it's still funny to watch and pretty informative. I don't know what I'd be doing about this whole Bieber-escapade if I didn't have these video updates from you. Maybe I'd just bombard you with weird questions over the Live stream? ;P
i just saw your April Fools. HOW COULD YOU HAVE DONE THIS TO US!?!? YOU ALMOST GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK (not that it's worse than Justin ringing in your ear 24/7
This is a good experiment even if you are a Bieber fan.
I'm not, but still. Keep trying to stay cool, Thunt! You're comics help keep me and my friends smiling even through the worst of family abuse. Thank you for the laughs and tears and edge-of-our-seat moments. And thanks for being real with us. God bless, mate, and may Bieber's music not turn you to the demon drink! XD
I've been enjoying your videos. I especially like your drawings that you use to illustrate why his lyrics are so bad. If you could make more of those, that'd be fantastic. As usual, I wish you good luck in this endeavor.
Please get some marshmallow headphones, if you aren't using them already, they hurt a lot less when you're wearing headphones for a length of time. (They're earbuds that are squishy.) I should send Advil with a teeshirt for you. D: Anyway, please don't kill yourself. We like Goblins more than we like you listening to Beiber until you die horribly.
Dude, I think you really should let yourself rest. Today, it was punching your desk (your hand looks painful, by the way), what will it be tomorrow? Will you punch a wall? Or even punch your wife? I'm not saying you're violent type or something, but there are some things in life that can produce a state of constant 'pissed-off state'. What will happen when you won't be able to control your fury? I think you already finished your experiment, there's no way you'll like that music. Take care.
Don't worry. We find you funny. And your pain; your pain is hilarious. Such is the way of the world :P
I'd send you a bottle of aspirin to help for the pain, but for some reason, sending a bottle of pills through the mail to another country... it doesn't sound like a good idea.
It strikes me that with music playing all the time, it probably affects your concentration - you're more or less forced to constantly multi-task. I imagine that, at least when communicating, this lowered concentration makes it much harder to self-edit. This has made your videos remarkably candid and honest. (though i'm not going to lie, videos have looked pretty washed out.)
Um.... I know my opinion is not one you seek nor does it hold much sway, but all the same, I find you quite dashing, even in your Bieber-induced state of wavering mental stability. You should not be concerned! You and your Bieber-frustrations are very endearing! Fret over Bieber, not over yourself! :)
I can picture this image: Thunt wearing a Justing Bieber t-shirt screaming at the front row of a Justin Bieber concert. (With man in black backstage nodding, "brainwash successful")
@Thunt: Look, I find this endlessly amusing, but I also find Goblins endlessly amusing. I was also raised by doctors, and if one thing they taught me was that pain is nature's way of telling you to STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!! ACK!!! So if something about what you're doing is causing you pain, YOU NEED TO STOP. Try a pair of headphones or make Sunday a day of rest. Or something. Please don't break yourself. I will choose Goblins over this anytime.
Interesting fact: far as I've tried, Akinator the Web Genie has correctly guessed every named character from Goblins short of, say, Tayshun - except in the Dies Horribly arc, where it can't even guess Dies.
Hey THunt. :) I was watching your video(K'sellis looks awesome!) and I heard about your headaches. Well, the obvious reason aside...You're using earbuds,right? That would mess with your outer ear pressure,which might shift the pressure of your inner ear or something...(I'm not a doctor, though.) you might try investing in some open ear headphones. They can be crappy and cheap, IMO, since you're not listening to the best recorded music out there.
I've been watching these since day .5 (not a lot, but it's all that's here so far) and so far I've gotten a good laugh out of all of them. Especially Bieber's line about the sun and how you tore him a new one for it, lol, really made my day. As previously stated, you're a better man than me, good luck!
It's official: listening to Justin Bieber makes you want to punch something and it gives you headaches. Kinda explains why all those teenagers started to cry and scream during his concerts....
Keep in mind that sustained sound being routed directly into your ear canal can and will cause tremendous and often irreversible damage to your hearing. Please, please, please try to spend half of the day with only one earphone in and then switch.
Having to explain to your grand kids someday that grampa went deaf from listening to Justin Bieber 24/7 for a month straight has got to be one of the most difficult and painful things a man would ever have to do.
This man speaks sense. Having headphones transmit a constant stream of sound into your ears all day every day can't be good for you (not least of which because of the Bieber.) It may be a good idea to look up the effects and take appropriate measures.
Don't draw angry. Don't operate heavy machinery when you're JustinBieberiated. (I'd try to do some kind song-title pun, but I have high doubts that Trololo is a Bieber song so I'm not sure which one of those related videos are real Bieber songs.)
I think Thunt is great, far different than I imagined...just a common guy, bald and with a cap on the head, drawing his amazing cartoons and hurting himself with bad music...genious. Just keep with the good work in goblins, don't let justin bieber affect your good work.
One day, our children and our children's children will look back at this (probably in a museum but oh well...) and they will be amazed at the braveness and the valor of one man who defied all common sense, logic and bad Justin Bieber lyrics. You will be a hero. A few words of advice though: Bieber keeps saying he's like the Kurt Cobain of this generation...I sure hope he keeps that in mind and blows his brains out at one point with a shotgun also...but PLEASE don't you do the same!
@Qmusic1984 Aw.. Cmon.. He's just a kid, no reason to want him dead just for being annoying. He's actually quite the adorable little confused kid. Some day he will grow up and realize just how annoying and stupid he was and that's punishment enough!
@Qmusic1984 Bieber says he is the Kurt Cobain of this generation? I would have thought 'New Kids on the Block' would have been a better parallel. Maybe it's just me.
I think it's pretty fantastic what you're doing . Not the Bieber thing, obviously, i wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. I mean in regards to the video diary you're keeping. You're creating a bridge to your fans that not a lot of people in your position do. I know that the Internet is the Great Equalizer, making us all "just people" but some retain a level of celebrity. By sharing your trials and tribulations in this way, you're eliminating that wall of celebrity. Many props, and keep it up.
I think that most people who make videos feel the same way...don't get discouraged. For the last few days I wake up, let the dogs out, and go watch your update. Thus far it hasn't disappointed. To be honest though, the headaches/mood swings should be taken seriously. If it were me I would probably talk to a physician about it, make sure it won't become a bigger problem around day 29-30.
Doing anything you don't particularly like will shorten ones temper, and you've been doing it for three days straight now. Also, though you may not think so, you are hilarious! Especially the little drawings/tantrum thing in relation to the songs.
I've honestly just gone back to watch those parts when I needed a good laugh.
Your comics rock. You rock. And we shall be sure to build you a statue if you die as a result of this experiment.
