Bye Bye Sandy

Hurricane Sandy wasn’t too bad where I live. Some places had flooded roads and I’m sure some got water in their houses but it doesn’t compare to the destruction that some coastal cities experienced. Prayers go out to all of those on the coast who are still suffering and are without power and we pray for those as well in our own community who are still being affected.

Here’s a video from Tuesday. Only shot in the morning, didn’t really change all day.


Hurricane Sandy

huricaneSo apparently everyone is freaking out about this Hurricane Sandy thing….

Mom went to the Dollar Store and saw a ton of people she knew there and everyone asked her if she was getting ready for the storm…she was only there to pick up paper towels because we are out. haha. She said the place was completely sold out of water and some other supplies….why do people act as if the world is ending or that they are going to be trapped inside for months?

Oh well, at least they are being prepared….haha. Who knows, they could be right and it could dump 4 feet of snow on us when it collides with a winter storm or we might get a foot of water and rain.

One thing is pretty much certain though…it’s going to get windy and wet…and we will probably lose power for awhile. It’s basically a given, or so they tell us on the news/weather.

So, do you live in the northeast and are you freaking out about this Hurricane Sandy?
Let me know, I’m curious. haha.

If it gets really interesting I will do some vlogging during the storm. Ya never know what might happen.

That Bleh Feeling

Hello internet,

Have you ever felt bleh? I’m sure you have, most people do every now and then. haha.
I’ve just been feeling bleh the past few days and really haven’t felt like making videos.
It’s not that I don’t want to make videos, it’s just that I’m not “feeling” them. If you make YouTube videos, you understand.

I’ve been through this before, and I think every YouTuber has. It’s just part of the process.
If you don’t feel like making a video, don’t force it. Your lack of motivation and will shows through the camera and mic and your audience will be able to tell if you are faking it or not.

I need to get a few other things done today and then I think I will shoot a video or two.
I think the main thing is that I have other stuff that needs done and it just distracts me in the video making process.

I guess the overall thought and message of this post is to not force YouTube videos. Even if you have a schedule (which I do) it’s okay to give yourself a break. The channel will still be there a few days later.

I also just realized that I started a lot of the lines in this post with the letter “I.” Really don’t know what that means. haha.

So, what’s happening?

I know I said I wanted to keep up with these posts and do multiple a week, but I just don’t have the time and my focus is in other areas right now.
I do want to update more than every few weeks though, I’d like to keep you peeps in the loop of what’s going on here on the interwebz.

So what better to do now, than an update post? haha. So here we go!

Re:Media DesignsRe:Media Designs
I got Re:Media up and running and the business is in full swing now. You can visit my site at www.remediadesigns.com. If you want/need a website, feel free to contact me!
It’s been a lot of work to get all of the paperwork done (and there’s still some to do) but it’s nice to be able to actually do the web/graphic/video/audio design work.

TGameNTechTGameNTech
My YouTube channel has made a lot of progress as well. I have partnered with SocialBlade and now have full YouTube Partner features! (It’s only exciting if you know what it means haha). Basically, I can customize my channel more and make it more professional. I have been getting a pretty good increase in traffic and the channel is really growing!

Overall
Well this is just gonna have all kinds of info. haha. I got a brand new camera! The Canon Rebel T3i. The T4i is out, but I don’t need the features it offers and I think the T3i will do great for what I want it to do. It will be great for taking pictures for website and it also records full HD (1080p). I got a lot of stuff with it as well (tripod, mic, lenses, etc).
It was definitely a pricey purchase but I definitely think it’s worth it.

The vlog channel is still going as well. You can check it out here, www.youtube.com/WiseManDrummer 

Well I think that’s about it. I plan to update this more (I feel like I say that every time). Oh well. haha.

Hopefully you enjoy reading this stuff and feel free to comment below saying whatever you’d like!

Power hungry people destroy great things…

It’s true.

This new network has popped up on YouTube and I was really interested in joining. They network focuses mainly on tech and if you partner with the network you get full YouTube Partner features (custom thumbnails, banner, etc) and you would reap the benefits of being connected to other channels.

Keep in mind this wouldn’t replace DragonRiderNetwork. DRN isn’t a network as in contacting ad agencies and getting payed and sponsored. DRN is just a bunch of YouTubers working together to bring content on one Channel.

Anyways, I guess some stuff went down (don’t know all the details) but the creator of the network seemingly got kicked out by two other people he invited on board to help him.

The creator has said that they were just power hungry and wanted the network for themselves and didn’t even talk to the creator before they decided to get rid of him.

Now that all of this has happened, there are a lot of hard feelings between people who support the network and people who support the original creator. Consequently, everyone who is going to be partnered with that network will have to deal with people trolling and hating on them and saying they supported an overthrow, unethical practices, etc, etc.  The real victims of all this will be the channels that get partnered.

Needless to say, I will no longer be seeking to partner with the channel, no matter what the situation is. Like I said, I don’t know all the details, but I don’t have to. I know that the Network broke up and it’s an ugly mess and a terrible PR move. We now have two sides, one supporting the people who still are in control of the network and one that supports the creator. No matter what it’s a bad situation and this will follow the network throughout it’s existence.

My initial gut feeling is that some people wanted this network for themselves and didn’t want to share it with certain other people or got mad/got their feelings hurt/ whatever. Thus, a power struggle ensued.

People who are desperate to have power just to have power will always end up bad. You end up hurting others and making a bad name for yourself. People need to learn to humble themselves and treat others as equals, even if in your mind you think you deserve more.

After all, CEO is just three letters. It really doesn’t mean anything. Your actions are what defines you.

New Location?

Hey everyone, hope you are all having a great day!

As I have been going about my normal business and thinking about my blogs, I am starting to wonder if I want to move them to their own domain.

If I would do this, I know where my gaming blog (Player Select) would go. I would just put it on my TGameNTech domain since it would be game related.

As far as my personal blog, I’m not sure where I would put it. I might keep it here. Dunno. Also, I might start up a third blog (a tech blog) and put it on the TGameNTech domain as well.

If I started up a tech blog most of my posting would be on it and the gaming one. I would still post on this one, just not as much.

Hmmm. Decisions, decisions.

I know that moving my gaming blog to my TGameNTech site would help traffic to my YouTube channel as well. It would be a lot of work but I think it would be worth it. The  question remains, where would I put this blog?

Maybe I will just leave it here on blogger for the time being. Dunno yet.

If you guys have any thoughts or suggestions I would love to hear them! Feel free to comment below!
