Thank You Nerdfighteria (AKA My Awkward Attempt At Expressing My Feelings)

[098anne]

I love, love, love this video! All your videos!

Thank you for making them :):)

[maybesomeday107]

You speak Xhosa?? That impresses me so much, I am taking a linguistics class and I am horrible at making clicks... very embarrassing...

[maybesomeday107]

you speak Xhosa?? So cool I am taking linguistics and trying to learn how to make clicks.... it's pretty embarrassing to say the least...

[buchling1]

I can't ... Why are you so funny?!

It's the middle of the night and you make me wake up the whole house by laughing uncontrollably.

[LORDESSALOVE]

DFTBA ! I think it's so cool that your all the way ova der and I'm in the u.s. !

[FrostyBatman69]

I hope you recognize how awesome you are. DFTBA.

[SxcDubliner]

I frickin love you dude, you're hillarious! DFTBA :D

[Trystaticus]

15 seconds and you've got me on the floor laughing uncontrollably.

[TheGallimaufryShow]

Thank you for existing...or I guess thank you to your parents. :D <3

DFTBA

[emilycaroline9]

Your welcome. Thank YOU for existing. Your videos make my day. :) DFTBA

[nitwhit1993]

You are so awesome. For real though. Genuinely funny and entertaining. LOVE it

[senselessrose]

You and your videos are awesome :) DFTBA

[K9Negative]

I haven't ever met another nerdfighter either. I should set out to do this.

[idkyetdou]

I was away when you made this video so I didn't get to see it. But now I have seen it! Make some more videos, because you're hilarious! :)

[Felicityhelix]

To be clear I am an ex Joburger and now live in a semi rural farming oriented city. Anyhows you rock! Well done!

[Felicityhelix]

Wait... Does that headline refer to... HENdrik?!?! Hahaheheahrarher lols

From a fellow joburger nerdfighter! I have a channel too. Felicityhelix. Lets compare cities! Mine is a little dead itseIf but I want to see more of Bloemfontein.

[SSondiyazi]

@Felicityhelix Yay! My next vlog will be about a trip I recently took to Johannesburg. Where you staying exactly?

[themaisinator]

New favorite. We love you, man. But thought you might want to be reminded that DFTBA is an initialism, not an acronym. Diftba is hard to say.

[MrEvanpatton123]

One of my favorite thought related videos on Youtube. DFTBA

[Chillitz]

Yo your awesome, i can't wait to see more videos from you!

[nateopotato1]

Woah the drivers seat is on the right side!!!

[officialmcsi]

good video

[maybesomeday107]

You are the definition of nerdfighter :)

[worldtraveler91]

You are possibly the coolest person that I don't know.

[duerme07]

I was feeling pretty content with my Youtube subscriptions. Then Vlogbrothers spotlighted your channel... Thank you for expanding the internet's supply of awesome.

[JobiWan144]

1) I love your choice of browser (Chrome).

2) You're quite funny, but could you possibly talk a little slower? Sometimes it's hard to understand you because of how fast you speak.

[InkandGrit]

Nice job vlogging on your feelings. Awesome factor far outweighs any cringe factor and you mentioned the best thing about Nerdfighteria - the community feeling. Time to bask in the love.

BREEP BREEP BREEP!

Seems I'm out of my emotional depth as well. DFTBA! #endcomment

[gheistlicheaugen]

Your humor is very original, keep at it man

[nanobot265]

Was that a bsg "Condition one" alarm?...

[OwlinAMinor]

I think I speak for all of Nerdfighteria when I say ... CONGRATULATIONS. YOU DESERVE IT. YOU'RE VERY WELCOME. :)

DFTBA.

[theeichris]

ur awsome :)

[ElleAri94]

i'm sorry, but next video could you tell us the nine sci-fi references, three fantasy reference and two disney cartoon references? I feel like its a game I am failing miserably at and I need to know the answer.

[TheQueenofsass]

You really are good at Vlogging. The illistrations were entertaining and what you said was relevant, at least to other nerdfighters, but that is a large scope. Keep going.

[EclecticDog]

Awesome vid - DFTBA

[BlueSkyes17]

I love you . you have so many friends. nerdfighteria is such a welcoming place and we're here for you! keep up the great work with impoverished families.

[phoebeshunkerbell]

i love you :) dtfba

[ChosenLullaby]

Love from Texas! DFTBA, my friend, because your videos most certainly are!

[OrchidSapphire]

Yet again we see a video that seems to come from such a depth and be entertaining on the surface too! I encourage you to keep it up! :D

[letitbe692]

Absolutely brilliant. Please make many more videos.

[TheCococoke]

You are amazing!

[mcgownbryant]

You embody the entire idea of DFTBA!

[diane3cats]

Hi! You are REALLY FUNNY! And I come from New York where you have to be so damn good to impress your audience. Bravo!

[pineapplez342]

DFTBA isn't an acronym.  It's an initialism.

[mlbplaya1]

You are amazing.

[Bryndthomas1998]

@wikisome sorry if I sounded like 'harassment' but I promise you it was not meant in that way I find his blogs very entertaining and I did not intend it to seem like trolling. :)

[Bryndthomas1998]

@wikisome ;)

[heyummrandommuch]

Actually. I'm sorry for doing this but,, it's an initialism.

[sincemarchoflastyear]

I love your videos, I'm so happy for Nerdfighteria for introducing me to you. DFTBA

[TerachiShya]

<3 <3 <3

[airypersiflage]

I love the Matrix ref!

[SSondiyazi]

@airypersiflage There are nine sci-fi references, three fantasy reference & two disney cartoon references in this video, do you think you can spot them all @airypersiflage ? Are you a nerd that can surpass my nerdiness?

[airypersiflage]

@SSondiyazi - no contest- you win! I can only see 8 sci-fi references, 1 fantasy reference, and the 2 Disney refs. Thanks for contributing to my nerducation. :)

[wikisome]

@SSondiyazi nothing disrespecting to you

The two words are so similar in definition that nitpicking some one over the use of them is more like harassment and as I read it the use of the exclamation point only seemed to confirm it so I trolled back

You on the other hand do an excellent job through the use of wit, pacing, and opinion I have nothing to fault you for

[SSondiyazi]

@wikisome Well in that case, keep on trolling, thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated

[cewek25]

Consider this a high five from Australia!

[Bryndthomas1998]

It is an initialism not an acronym!

[wikisome]

@Bryndthomas1998 oh hush he's from Bloemfontein

[SSondiyazi]

@wikisome If I may ask, what is that suppose to mean? :)

[mabulatious]

Dude, you are awesome :3

[SilenceFalls24]

Aw...i feel like I was given a high five just by watching this. Thank you good sir :)

[ThisIsKiki1]

:-D :-D

[john0donavan0ritter]

you mind blowing video about being mind blown blew my mind!!!

[VanillaxSmoke]

This is so sweet :D Thank YOU for making awesome videos all the time, and for being a part of the nerdfighter community yourself :)

[rourarose]

Every video I watch by you just makes me happy and I tend to watch them over and over... but not in a creepy way, but in an awesome way

[justamumlike]

High five from California. :)

[sodawitch]

*high five* =3

[sugarpeepsez]

BREEP BREEP BREEP I'm out of my emotional depth. I knew that would happen. Hee hee.

*high five!*

[sugarpeepsez]

BREEP BREEP BREEP I'm out of my emotional depth. I knew that would happen. Hee hee.

[HPnerdfighter]

i really adore everything about this video

you, your humor, your eloquence, your nerdy references, your humility, AND ALL THE OTHER STUFF

YOURE SO AWESOME :]

[EpicBlobMonster]

You are now in a unique situation, surrounded by world suck, and in contact with a new found community which would be happy to donate to reduce this suck (at least I would), what are you going to do about it?

not to be a vote whore, but could this please get voted up so he sees it?

[n4m4w45]

Nerdfighteria has high fived you, SSondiyazi, and its because you deserve it.

Thank you for being the vlogger you are, and keep doing it!

[JessieLightyear]

High five from USA :)

[phlogistonly]

You come across as such a nice person :) I'm so glad nerdfightaria brought me to this channel! *hi 5s the computer screen*

[wanderlots]

This was an absolutely perfect response to winning Nerd Factor, completely reinforcing the Vlogbrothers' decision to pick you :D DFTBA!

[Zenithteal]

...i love black people. is that racist?

[sabemajeen]

Keep up the good work....it is awesome!

[starlingfeathers]

High five from the Pacific Northwest- your vlogs remind me how amazing it is (and feels) to be a nerdfighter. DFTBA.

[fenster666]

It's so good to see a South African vloging, I was originally born in Durbin, but I grew up most of my life in South Australia, I have only been back home once, but watching your vlogs takes me back to the home land I love and miss so much, thank you.

[42bottlesofbeer]

Congrats on the win, and keep making these awesome videos!

[PlasticChopstickUser]

This video makes me happy because I feel like you completely expressed what everyone who identifies her/himself as a nerdfighter feels. Plus, I learned that you are on your way to doing amazing work as a civil engineer. Which is awesome. Keep up being amazing and hilarious!!! And ten points to your fun drawings. High five!!!

[limericksandoysters]

AHH, so happy i subscribed to you! :D HIGH FIVE.

[TheLostGirls2]

I've never met you either, but I feel like I know you, and everyone else in nerdfighteria as well. It brings us together! Seeing how far nerdfighteria stretches outside of my own little day today line of sight is amazing. I hope to see more videos from you in the future. DFTBA!

-J

[RandomGuyKyle]

For the record, it's an initialism, not an acronym. But you DFTBA anyway. Cool video!

[peculiarpixie]

I subscribed to you because of the competition and can't wait to see what video vlogs you post in the ruture. This one was highly entertaining! I love how you made the diagrams and them said don't forget to be awesome in your native tounge. Learning about other cultures is awesome!

[LikeSoTotallyRandom]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[akavioletcarson]

I don't think I've ever cackled quite so much. Your vlogging style is seriously bomb. XD You sir, truly deserved to win the competition!

[distortedcollage]

I too am a Nerdfighter from Bloem. I fight nerds all the time. I beat one up a few weeks ago.

[Throrindor]

Absolutely brilliant. Keep it up, good sir. Also, I find it interesting that you are a civil engineer. I am currently attending university to become an electrical engineer. Which reminds me, I have digital systems homework I must attend to...farewell for now, and DFTBA.

[FunSunGrl]

[MrMcBoss2000]

[MarkDouglasBain]

[kinkyinhelsinki2]

You are so da'man - love your videos :)

[jdsfblaggf]

English isn't your mother tongue? I'm impressed because you have such a good grasp of it :)

[Bloomengns]

[oTheZomgKittyo]

South African Nerdfighter FIVE!!

Good to know theres more out there =)

DFTBA!

[AlRoderick]

We should make a compendium of translations for "don't forget to be awesome".

[KritaS03]

That was full of awesome!

[joshsendercom]

Brilliant video mate <3

[THELORDPYRO]

I had to dislike this, just to keep you grounded.

[SSondiyazi]

@THELORDPYRO Hahahaha! Thank you :)

[diane3cats]

@THELORDPYRO Hahaha! Funny--- this vlog has only 1 dislike, from you, just to keep him grounded. Good one!

[mklem13]

what an awesome video!!!!!!!!!!

[XxYuliaTATYxX]

You're awesome!

[nalo9091]

HUG!

[ValerieOhYeah]

so full of awesome! :) (Watching from Singapore)

[Razpution]

<3



[SeptemberFoolish]

If I ever have to write another school essay about why I am proudly South African (we get those a lot) you, my friend, will have your own paragraph!

[talitwinklel]

dear SSondiyazi

thanks for making blum awesome!!!...

sincerely a capetoinion who just went there on holiday(and died of boredom)

love you vidoes :) love from a proud subscriber!

[SSondiyazi]

@talitwinklel Cape Town sounds real nice about now, actually Cape Town always sounds nice.

[Raconteur]

Well done for making such a great follow-up video in response to winning Nerd Factor! I hope you keep making such thought-provoking videos and I hope they all get 0 dislikes :)

[Hamsterstar19]

I love watching your videos soooo much! I grew up in Bloemfontein and also felt like I had to leave for something awesome to happen, but now that I am studying somewhere else I seem to miss home more and more! When John Green featured your video it made me proud to be from Bloem!! (PS recognizing places around Bloem in your videos is also sooooo amazing!) Keep on rocking!

[SSondiyazi]

@Hamsterstar19 Good to know that there are fellow Bloemies watching, thank you so much for the kind words.

[ataraxic89]

awesome video once again my friend. I seriously doubt Ill ever meet you, but its nice to know you exist too.

[BelieveSteed]

<3 

[niltjeP]

Loved it! Good luck and keep it up! (;

[RewindReplayRepeat]

That vid was so sweet <3 I love the sound of voice. So soothing...

[SSondiyazi]

@RewindReplayRepeat My voice has been the source of a lot ridicule growing up, so its strange that people from abroad have taken a liking to it, I just can't get use to the idea that there people out there who actually like my voice.

[RewindReplayRepeat]

@SSondiyazi Have you heard of the effect Alan Rickman has on women just because of his voice? Perfect example of why one must never underestimate the power of someone's voice.

Anyway, your voice has lovely rhythm and intonation. It, for lack of better word, 'flows'. (I would also like to admit that I fangirled for at least 5 minutes when I realised that you had replied to my comment...um, I was very excited/happy)

[BarefootAnthropology]

1) I love how you say "Bloemfontein" South African accents are just the best!

2) Thank you for being on the front-line of the battle against worldsuck. Now Nerdfighteria is here, we shall be with you every step of the way, and if you ever, ever need our help - just ask! We'll come raining out of the sky with parachutes made from signed pages of "The Fault in Our Stars", ready with money, hugs and lots of coffee.

In the words of Wolverine - "We'll be watching!"

[barabg]

*high-fives screen*

*remembers that Im using a laptop, which is now on the floor*

Aww shucks. Awesome video though, keep it up, love/Sweden

[craigtyndall85]

Chicken Strangler strikes!!!

[albusseveruspotter]

Oh this is such such such a good video, so glad I subscribed now! I know what you mean about feeling like you don't/can't connect with feelings or awesome or people or stuff, but also I agree, the mere existence of nerdfighteria is enough to make me smile =D

[chanopoop]

No dislikes, the way it should be.

[wikisome]

you sir are entertaining while also coming across as intelligent and for that I give you props way to go keep it up and....DFTBA!

[tasuki199]

love u tooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

[Quixotic1018]
