Keep making videos.

Web Update November 10 2009: My online time continues to become more limited. I've had to unsubscribe from over half the channels I was subbed to. I had 1300+ subscriptions, and have had to bring that down to under 500 just for the sake of manageability. Apologies to anyone I was formerly subbed to who may feel slighted by this. It isn't personal. Choosing which channels to unsub from was a tough call and I often arbitrarily chose channels who had plenty of other subs. I will try to spend time on youtube at least once a week.

I just want to say it's very nice that so many of you were kind enough to subscribe. Friends matter most though! THANK YOU to everyone who has befriended me here. I wish you all the very best!

There are 3 types of channels I will no longer consider subbing to. ONE: general vlogging channels. Unless the channel has a slant of special interest to me personally, I have listened to enough talking, thank you. TWO: Channels with kids singing along to recordings of people I don't listen to in the first place. I certainly don't want to discourage any of these kids, but I just can't take another video like that, sorry. THREE: political (especially USA) current events channels. The amount of in-fighting that goes on between these critters is enough to make your head spin. I have put up with all the finger-pointing and name-calling I'm prepared to tolerate. See the rest of my rant below for an extrapolation of my viewpoint on this. Thanks.

I like to keep things positive. I'm not here to fight or engage in mind games. I like to be inclusive. I will be friends with most people. I like to encourage and inspire others. However, this must be said in no uncertain terms: if you post abuse on my page, or attempt to involve me in a smear campaign against another human being or group, you will not only lose me as a Friend, I will automatically block you. I no longer waste my time attempting to reason with haters. I am disappointed that there is so much cruelty and selfish immaturity permeating the Internet in general, and YouTube specifically. People need to know that I will not let them involve me in this. If you have time to make a video attacking another human being then you have too much time on your hands and I cannot respect you. I think some of the people using this website need to do some heavy soul searching, get unglued from their computer screens, and get out into their communities and do something selfless for others on a regular basis. People who do nothing but sit on their arse and complain are part of the problem. Be part of the solution. Get out there! Do something! GET BUSY! We are all in this together and your fellow man needs your help now. I hate to have to put it so bluntly but there it is.
