789 (7/10/09)

Friday was a little more eventful. I think we (Sam, Andy, Tom, Jess and myself) woke up around 10 and left to head to Columbus circle for 12. Nobody was really there so we left to go shopping :) We hit up 5th ave., didn't really buy anything though. Wow this blog is turning out to be quite lame. I thought I would have more to write about...but anyway...we ate at Rockefeller and decided to hit up SoHo before we met the other youtubers at 6 pm. I have to say Top Man is a very interesting store. I either liked their sstuff a lot or HATED it with a passion. I can't really see myself wearing too much of it though. I bought a v-neck at uniqlo and 2 trunks at Top Man. That was the extent of my purchases for the weekend. It was really sad that I didn't buy more, but I always feel that since we have most of the stores back home I can just buy it there. We also hit up Magnolia and I watched as Tom ate his cupcakes...I can't have them cuz I'm allergic to peanuts :( We ended up filming a lot down in SoHo so look forward too MANY videos from this weekend. This blog is a mess...I'm over it.

Later at night we ate at TGI Friday's which was insanely expensive...never eat IN times square...after that we met up with Michael (hartzproductions) and headed to the Belvedere to hang out with thewillofdc's fan club ;) I think we ended up goign to bed at like 4 am...oh well...I barely slept at all the whole weekend...

ok! continue reading for THE BIG DAY!!!!

789 Youtube Gathering (7/9/09)

Hey guys!!! This past weekend was sooooo exciting, exhausting, interesting, scary, fun, delicious and life changing. If you didn't know, I went to the youtube gathering in New York City from Thursday (7/9/09) until Sunday (7/12/09). I figured I will make a few separate blogs for each of the days and then one for just pictures so it is easier to read. So here is what we did on 7/9/09...

Tom (talltom14) , Joey (@joeyjawcut) and I picked up Jess (jstevens428) from the airport in the morning and made it to NYC at about 2 pm. Jess was so much fun right off the bat and it was not even awkward meeting her. I think that blogtv made it so much easier to interactive with everyone IRL. So we met up with Sam (samthereforeiam) and Andy (nanooboy) soon after and checked into the W Hotel! It was sooo hot. The lobby was always full of hot people dressed in suits and little black dresses. But when we got to the room, we looked over at the bathroom and saw that the door and walls to the bathroom were frosted glass and that you could see the silhouette of the person using it on the glass. This was a little awkward, but luckily there was another bathroom in the lobby. They should really warn u about things like these.

After that we headed to Chipotle to get something to eat. As I was in the bathroom there, Jeffrey (kooljeffrey), Kristin (kristinsaine), Will (thewillofdc), and Andrea (aiadriano) walked in too. I come out of the bathroom and basically freak out and am in shock that we would happen to be eating at the same place in NYC at the same time. But ya that was fun. I will post pics in another blog.

After that we headed to Columbus Circle where we met up with some other youtubers...I actually don't really remember what happened, except that we had pinkberry afterward.

At night we ended up going over to the Belvedere and hung out with the bitches and gossiped for a few hours :)

The first dat was pretty laid back. It was sooo much fun meeting everyone and like I said before it really wasn't awkward at all. It felt like we already had been IRL friends for years.

Read my next blog to find out what happened on 7/10/09...

TRAUMATIZING

So today I wake up. The air is fresh, the sun is BEAMING on my pale skin and I have an odd amount of energy for 8:30 am. I go to the gym to work on my flabby stomach and could not WAIT to go to starbucks to get a refreshing beverage before I went outside to tan. Fine, fine...but what's givin me a red rump is what was in my starbucks drink. Let me first say...that I normally do not go to this starbucks store. Ok. So I start drinking my drink when suddenly I feel something in my mouth...At first I'm like...ok maybe a piece of paper fell off from my straw or something. So I pull it out, put it betwixt my fingers and move it around a little bit. When suddenly I realize that IT IS A FREAKING MUSHED UP SPIDER THAT I WAS FONDLING WITH MY TONGUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now...I was driving at this point and srsly just froze and tried not to panic. I don't know if you know this but I am TERRIFIED of spiders. If I SEE one I get goosebumps and start shaking. So this was especially traumatizing. Thank gawd it was only like a 4 minute drive back to my house. I kept wiping my mouth out and spitting in some napkins I had and was basically in shock. As soon as I got home I started shaking and rinsing my mouth out when suddenly I just started gagging and threw up. ya...I don't mess around when I say I'm scared of spiders...that little bitch made me throw up...ugh ok...well that was my story...now back to tanning

ok...

I keep thinking it's Monday and it won't stop...FML

that's all

Sketch, Partner, Work

OK...so happy late 4th of July!! woot woot! I worked all day...what's new. Like seriously I feel like I just live at work now. I love the money and have become known for wanting to stay late and pick up any shifts I can, but sometimes I need a vacation!

Anyway...tonight a host invited me over her house with another host just to HANG OUT...well it turns out the house we went to was not hers. She was dog sitting a doggie for someone and they were out of town...so I guess she sleeps tehre while theyre gone...IDFK...but it was some little sketchy ass house in the middle of nowhere. I had to walk down a PATH to get to it..not like a walkway...an actual PATH. And i swear it was like the size of a large shed. I thought I was gonna get raped/pillaged/shoveled/plowed/killed while I was there. But I didn't...I wish I got pictures but it was so effing dark it wouldntve worked

I'm excited for 789!! I'm going to be staying at the W hotel with Tom, Jess, Andy and Sam!! Can't wait to see the sexy hotel! I kind of have an obsession with architecture and interior design...last night I researched different W hotels for like 4 hours and basically orgasmed everywhere...Does everyone have plans for the days you are going or are you just going to wing it??? We have LOOSE plans of things we want to do, but not really anything scheduled. I think we will just play it by year when we see who is there and who wants to do stuff with us. Let me know if youre having a sexy party ;0 kkthxbi lol

OH! BTW I'm now a partner on youtube!! Thanks to all my subscribers who have stuck with me over the past 1.5 years!! I hadn't applied for partnership sooner because I wasn't ready to come out of the youtube closet to my mom, but now I really don't even care. Make sure you check out my new videos! I just posted a new R.I.S.S. video in HD about texting and AIM conversations!! Here it is...


Thanks for reading! kkbi I'm over it!

New Camera!

AH! So I bought a new camera mostly for 789 but also so that my videos could be better quality! I got the Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10...It is srsly amazing for what it costs. To see the 720p HD it captures check out my latest video!


I had to convert the file to be able to import it into windows movie maker so the quality isn't as good as it SHOULD be...but as soon as I get new software it should be better...yay!!!!

I highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for an inexpensive yet well-rounded device. It was only $200 and is supposedly a 10 MP camera as well...however I found that the pictures that it captures are not as good as my mom's canon 10 MP digital camera...this does not really bother me because I bought the camera for its HD capabilities...

Here is the run-down of what I think are some positive and negative things about the cam...

Positive:
- video quality
- physical design
- price
- ability to take pictures while filming
- low-light capturing is pretty good
Negative:
- battery life (about 70 minutes of filming)
- menu is somewhat annoying to navigate when you need to change settings
- white balance goes crazy sometimes

That's all!!!!!!!!

ImpulsEtc

HEY!!! I am part of a new collab channel if you were not aware! It just started a few days ago and not all the members have been revealed yet! The channel is called ImpulsEtc due to the fact that we post random videos at random times!! This channel is not like all the others where the members post daily videos. I find that predictable collab channels of that form eventually cause viewers to lose interest. This is why we decided that we should not declare certain days for certain members.

Here is my first post! It's totally random lol


Make sure to check out ANDY's (nanooboy) first post too!


HERE IS PATRICK's (violentservant) vid!!!!


Jess's (jstevens428) first vid!


Hope you enjoy the channel!!!!

kkbi I'm over it!
