"What Do I Want To Be?" Tales Of Mere Existence

[harish5365]

reality of life?

[thatcoolrussiankid]

Geez fight club

[elenaprocrastinates]

You still can be the person you were when you first heard the Beatles. Just listen to then again, each time feels like the first time, that's how I keep hanging on.

[wowfreak1834]

seriously I have the same problem with my life! :o

[twistedfate96]

One of the greatest minds of our generation.

[legodarknight101]

Nice Simon and Garefunkel reference, lol.

[AloneToTheSun]

man.... i can totally relate to your video's, unbelievable. Makes me feel more understood

[francescoakajoker]

A spirit and a soul are the same thing. right?

[Pskawt]

Beautiful

[vef444]

Well trying to be like actors in some movies is dumm because those are fake poeple and fake personalities.

[ivegot2words4ya]

You have really nice shoes. Where did you get those? They make your legs look really pretty. Yes, I`m a girl. I notice clothes and shoes.

[jjdelg]

love the poetry

[ejayarts]

LOVE THE BONG. :D

[DeathnoteBB]

"Do something, do anything" "but nevermind" lol your videos separately send such mixed messages.

[iibuRfull]

Made sense to me.

[sukiXrose]

If I ever heard his voice in real life, i'd freak out. It would be weird...

[sukiXrose]

Kurt Vonnegurt!

[dave2day2u]

this brings up all the questions of my entire life and i have the thought process of an adult like my mother or some other figure. but im smarter afraid to die want to be the smartest and would rather be a nobody than have a rival in my expertise.. does it make sense i would like to think so.

[88demongurl]

To be honest. It would be hard to explain what you want to be when you are older. When you grow up all you can do is dream and try your best to not be the one stuck in a mc donalds or any other fast food till you are an adult. All you can do is try and not give up because of small bumps on the road to your true happiness. If you are not famous or rich does not matter. But if you are happy changes everything.

[NotGoodAtThis100]

For some reason, you kind of remind me of Rod Serling.

[thenpoof]

I never knew who I was. I honestly still don't REALLY know. But looking back on characters in books and people I've met that touched me, the little qualities I found so appealing in those people, whether I had them or wish I did, were part of who I'm actually supposed to be.

[TheLambdaTeam]

What do I want to be?

I want to be ALONE.

[scoman91]

I was watching this video when I suddenly realized that I hadn't subscribed to you yet, which is odd, considering that I've been watching your videos for the past three years.

[smilelike]

This video made me realize that we never like who we are at the moment but look fondly on who we were in the past.

[musicfan565]

awwwwwwwwwwwww :DD

[69therealslimshady]

I like your videos even though they make me feel depressed

[Panda9014]

your videos make me sleepy :O

[Blahblahbox1]

I'm gonna change the world

[andyholmes121]

Simon & Garfunkel reference, stay classy.

[silarydoveface]

These videos just make me want to meet, talk with, get high with, and then sleep with Lev.

[LilyMalfoy25]

Just gotta say GO DALLAS WINSTON XD

[Mikimausas0]

1:56 is that a bong the table? :D

[Eiramzify]

Well, at least you are aware of your talents. That's a start right? I haven't found mine if I have one.... Sometimes I feel I should join the Cutie Marks Crusaders xD

[aubreyjesusfreak]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels conflicted to be somebody and nobody.

Dreaming about what you want to be certainly seems better than actually doing what you want to be.

But after feeling like that for a while its a little depressing so I try to alternate being important and unimportant. Its good to have a balance in your life.

[erngre1]

When I come to a hill I opt to go down hill. If where I need to get to is up the hill. (scratch head thinking). I go around.

[youraverageuser]

its easy to hit a wall of who you want to be in life. ill look @ people & think wow those people look so happy & have what they every wanted & are who they ever wanted to be, they are so centered & all knowing ans the everyone you know just glows talking about them. then i hear they were a bad person inside & lost everything and were a jerk to people who were glowing around them 10 years later. i guess ill be what i can be for what life has for me @ this moment & hope it works out.

[goe5]

it's okay guys....I thought it was a snowflake too

[yutilala]

You should take up yoga :)

[UncleFido]

Never mind.

[Biverix]

Simon & Garfunkel forever!

[enjoizmusic]

*_______* finally found the nose-asshole-video :)) i was searching for this the last months because i forgot in which video it was...

well thumbs up, i love your videos, lev! :) ♥

[Mazinager]

I don't know you good enough to realy tell, but judging from your videos, you're okay, the way you are. Most important: you're questioning yourself and your concept of life, meaning you're strong enough to admit when you we're wrong.

Thx for sharing. You're not alone.

[Blahblahbox1]

this is true artistry, love it :)

[chocogurl7]

You are amazing!!! I am watching your videos for the first time and i'm lovin them. Makes me feel a little less lonely in the world too!! Keep that talent going!! I'm subscribing!!! ^_^ *thumbs up* Keep them vids coming :DD

[zachbjork]

I enjoy every video you've ever made. Keep up the great work.

[D8Mathilda]

Lev is so insanely awesome!

[LegendaryUsernameEva]

well said!!!! awesome vid bro :D

[BlueBloodW0lf]

I think I'll end up being a nail when I'm older but that's ok.

[krayolaLive]

i cant stop watching these...

[gamebozco]

nice shoes... now i'm dizzy

[allishspeaksengrish]

I'm not sure it this depresses me, or enlightens me. O.O

[potatohead93]

@allishspeaksengrish the truth is often unwelcoming and depressing. but the truth is also enlightening. existentialism.

[manofthepod]

@allishspeaksengrish

yes.......

[scoman91]

@allishspeaksengrish This is why I call him a demotivational speaker. Because he tells it like it is. No fluff, no buff, just the truth and that's enough.

[DeathnoteBB]

@allishspeaksengrish why not both?

[PrivateJoker17]

@allishspeaksengrish It can't do both?

[gijokef]

@allishspeaksengrish to me depression is the realization of an inconvenient truth and enlightenment is accepting it.

[MrKampfkoloss]

We all only want to be somebody, because nobodies don´t get the hot chicks.

[KaraNetics]

DAMN MY LAST NAME IS HILL 1:52 NO REALY...

[snazsr]

same here <3

[xTommyGirlx]

I wrote the same thing over and over again too

[sooguru]

SHIT IM NOT A NOSE !

[Blahblahbox1]

This clarified so much for me (not being sarcastic), can relate so much to the thing that says "a part of me wants to be somebody and a part of me wants to be nobody" thank you so much for this :D

[017Christy]

i can't understand anything, but i watch this for the drawings (:

[ThereRLG2006]

Is it weird that I just want to be myself?

[colombiankid72]

please never stop making these.

[kaykazkaz]

At first I was going to say that this video was confusing, but than I realized I got most of what he said, so never mind.

[rachellynn3395]

I guess this is proof that Kurt Vonnegut Jr. fans are awesome

[yooncat]

I like this guy!

[HannahEmDavis]

loving the simon & garfunkel references :)

[twilylol]

I was going to comment but never mind

[thelocofocos]

you did pottery.

i can't even.

[algammond]

I want to be like Levni Yilmaz from Tales Of Mere Existence.

[OortCloudView]

Lev makes me feel a little less alone in the world.

[martaajoku1]

amazing...

the ending did it for me :)

[Lilllw]

el condor pasa

[PGB10001]

I didn't realize other people wanted to be someone else while watching a movie. I can't see someone without wanting to change what I am to be like them, and it's weird to me that maybe it's the same with a lot of people.

[mexicala]

To the comment below me - if we're all one then that's really depressing . I dont wanna even remotely be similar to anybody much less BE the same thing as everyone else . That's too freakin boring . And then there's no such thing as a real identity that's separate there's no freedom

[DJAudioBoots]

I like your shoes.

[aakie2]

this video made me love you

[shazzaforeverthabest]

"i would rather be a spirit than a soul". That is really deep.

[doobleedoom]

Nice bong

[Whimsicott]

Cool shoes, yo.

[alexjamesdf]

I wish I knew you and we could hang out and chat about stuff over a few beers/whiskeys/sodas

[YourTeacherLE]

If it makes you feel any better, I think a lot of people who follow your toons want to be like you. :-)

[Rac1813]

i 'lev' you! :P

[zuukiii]

I can relate . I really dont know what i want! I want to have money and do stuff that i like, right now im a medical nurse.. shitty job.

[PurpleCowsMakeGJ]

I thought the rhyming at the end was fun. :3 Although, I'm afraid I don't think like you. I'm both relieved and disappointed, because it seems like a heavy burden to think this way but it also seems to be entertaining...But I suppose my imagination has it's visual defects, so....Oh well. :P

[tenacious645]

Brilliant!!!!!

[PinkSombrero]

The asshole at the end is a great Vonnegut reference :)

[angelogcs77]

“I could not become anything; neither good nor bad; neither a scoundrel nor an honest man; neither a hero nor an insect. And now I am eking out my days in my corner, taunting myself with the bitter and entirely useless consolation that an intelligent man cannot seriously become anything, that only a fool can become something.”

-FD

[5minlatecomebacks]

I actually followed your train of thought, and was surprised when you apologized about it not being coherent

[lipton5001]

Love it !

[ZizzerScape]

eccentric

[kimberbub]

At least i hope so.....

[kimberbub]

Am probably kinda late but i love these videos

i cant even really work up the courage to upload anything so good on you for being able to be so honest in such a cute way XD all i can really say is that i have this kind of weird mind fuk all the time so i think what your experiencing is the consiquence of not being madly shallow and boring

[imgordonfreeman]

ahhh the asshole reference is fantastic...

[aqp93]

1:57 yeeeee a bon!

[yaronoooo]

I liked the bong on the table part

[bookwurm2k2]

thanks to this video, i don't feel so bad about being a semi-nobody anymore :)

thanks so much!

you keep being your articulate and acutely observational self!!!

[TheHeinousMonkey]

Reminds me of well me

[cacavati]

1:58 on the table water bong=cool

[cikasba]

These videos are so depressing man

[noprillanola]

1:59 BONG ON TABLE

[Vip3rC4in0022]

the Fucking awesomest show n the whole entire world!!!!!!.....well next to whose line

[iClassic1114]

that poem was beautiful, Lev.

[diego10ev]

"Maybe what I really wish I could be is the person I was when I heard The Beatles for the very first time."

I feel like that.

[RoyalJackofSpades]

1:59 bong on the table

[xxRUCHIxx]

Well I'm graduating from school soon, so my selection for university courses vary between Astrobiology,Astrophysics, medicine to media and fine arts. :S I really don't know what I want to be.

Sometimes I think. fuck it. I'll leech off my overachieving siblings for the rest of my life and go on a liberating journey of self discovery and live like a hippie... :D

[GamesStartAnon]

this guy is awesome xD

[mnjkmnjk123]

lol at 2:00 knew u were a bunhead

[UnattendedMind]

HE's OVER 9000!!!!

[mOtmH2rdstyl3]

1:55 The Bong being drawn ;)

[sirenitaurbana]

i feel the same way... again!

[CrashBandikoot7]

the ass hole looks like a star

[CrashBandikoot7]

lol i love the ass hole drawing

[MrMusician77]

I like when he wants to be nothing... there is a bong on the table.

[poodoode]

I can relate to just about everything that you say... are you a like a compilation of everyone in the world or are we all just so alike O.o

[ItzbecauseIcan]

@poodoode most likely the latter.

[fuduzan5562]

@poodoode People are all alike. That's why astrology, psychics, etc are all believed as widely as they are. Everyone's the same, so it's pretty easy to act like you know them well. :p

[delusivedelirium]

@poodoode maybe we're all pretty much one. i mean, yeah we have our differences but despite that, we all bleed the same, desire and suffer for universal reasons.

[TheMagnificentPony]

@poodoode hes just the average joe

[saskia015]

@poodoode i think its about that: everything we can relate to catches our attention ;)

[Mothammad]

You want to be a relatively functioning person as insisted by the norms of current society. If you´re not, then you´re an artist, if you´re not at all, then you´re "delusional".

[FlameAardwolfs]

Darling, let me love you!

[elena20001000]

i hade a bad day!

my stomach hurte.

i every day wonder have youre stomach hurt?

i wanna now.

can you make a video abaut it

i wode like to see it.

pleas make a video!

[elevatorboy2007]

you are a God Lev, people should be more like you and like inside themselves instead of what's on tv

[insidefood]

I want to be happy



[galenlynore]

Lev, miss your videos. Don't die on us!

[BoxyR107]

0:58 kinda reminds me of pheonix wright

[SpinningFaster]

Whomever you are, I really enjoy your vids.

[uberplayer]

i like that everything you do is homemade. it's sobering yet authentic

[sirduahau]

awesome works, thank you so much!

[GrafRamolo]

I'd prefear to be an asshole than a nose because nose can smell what asshole make and not vice versa.

[26mistakes]

you amaze me every time..

[mashafasha5]

I like how you don't step on any of the pieces of paper.

[BooMonsterOfficial]

'but never mind...'



[Beastie240]

I never got the saying "The grass is always greener on the other side" because if you go to the other side, many, many sheep will follow the way you came and eat all the greener grass and after a while you'll just be left with no grass at all. :/

[dismo77]

The grass is always greener

[Wakaboo14]

YOU LITTERED!!!!

You darn litterbug, you...

[BRMproductons]

hey you should do one that talks about all the classes you did in school and how like getting through high school and stuff and how you made it lol O_o just a though XD

[sketch2k]

"Staring out onto Grey Street.

[They] think, "Hey, how did [we] come to this?"

[We] dream [ourselves] a thousand times around the world

But [we] can't get out of this place.

There's an emptiness inside [us]

And [we'll] do anything to fill it in....

But all the colors mix together - to GREY

And it breaks [our] hearts" ~ ... "to grey."

The perpetual identity crisis' continue. This is not how we're supposed to be - there's something in the way ... o_0

[Darkvampirelite]

Seriously Lev, I love you. Marry me! lol 

[BillyStilskin]

Nice S&G

[KidOnTheNet]

you're a real poet, lev.

[erikneoland]

158 is where its at!

[brijsmith]

that's right

[IcySkeptic]

That was really artsy fartsy :-).

Here's a question that has been bothering me:

Do you draw everything backwards AgentXPQ or do you somehow edit your hand out of the video?

[telanis9]

@IcySkeptic He flips the video,duh.

[IcySkeptic]

@telanis9 Oh...I guess that makes sense....

[JavaSpitLava]

@IcySkeptic ive bee wodering the same thing for a while today....

[shellyboo95]

The end scared me. I thought you were announcing the end of all your videos! :( But then I went like, "Whew. Okay. He's not."

[sasukeichigo12]

Are you inside my head?

[stock9291]

yeah, wanting to be and actual being is in most cases very different (opposite?)

[Gnash993]

nice asshole 3:09 

[nlogick]

I wish u could know how much your videos cheer me up, thanks lev for amazing art.

[franciscoxpp]

This is genious.

[MuonRay]

would have been funny if a dog shit on the sign "perpetual identity crisis" before you walked over it, would have made a nicely bitter touch to it.

[galenlynore]

Hey, Lev. I know you probably won't believe in this, but we do like your videos and how you catch yourself being yourself for the sake of your self perscrutation, after your insecurity.

Don't stop making videos, man.

[ItsLaRouge]

@Morfarcoolman

I feel the same, I can relate to most of these videos. I love them! I only found this channel a day ago & I've watched all the videos. :) Btw, your english is very good!

[rooster9116]

I'd rather be a nose than an asterisk to!

[UsernameBagel]

He's like a combination of Neil Gaiman and Lemony Snicket.

[Morfarcoolman]

DUDE ALL YOUR VIDEOS REMIND ME OF ME!! except i aint that old...

but still i think everything you say... many people probebly do but i want to feel special so im wrighting this anyway. Eaven thoug i probebly spelld all the words wrong since im not from any english speaking country... And no body is going to want to read all this cause i wrote kinda lot...

[DametjeKelly]

@Morfarcoolman I read all of your comment. :)

[BruteBrutal]

:)

[pigreenk07]

You make me want to live.

[galenlynore]

great! now I have to find @hex134 's and @michael326 's comments...

[ThePadus]

OMG is that a bong at 1:58 ? xDDD hahahaha you little stoner ;)
