Behind on life.

Hi guys.

I wanted to talk to you all for a bit.
First of all, I must apologise about the fact that my vlog is late, and that there won't be one for a while because I won't really have anything to actually take footage of.  

I'm basically behind on life, and I say that meaning that I just have lost track of my list of priorities and order of things which are important.  I really don't know what I should even be focusing on at any given time.     I'm behind on my violin music I need to learn, I am horribly behind on videos and quite frankly, I need a job to pay for the things it'll take to continue making videos.  (New Hard Drive, an iPad for easier editing and better cameras)
Also, if I put all of this time and money into, well, the internet, could it wind up being my job eventually?
Another thing is that I need to know my audience better. So, I need all of you out there to tell me what kind of videos you enjoy, and whatever the majority of you pick, I will try to make more of.

Also, feel free to contact me about stuff like that and such at smileyranger@gmail.com
I will try to get back to you within 24 hours, and if I don't, I will give out an internet cookie.

Thanks for reading, watching my videos and other things xD

Of pictures and tumblr

Hello readers. (if there are any)

Today I have decided to make a post to my blog. It is a rather lazy Sunday, and I am sick and don't feel like practicing violin, therefore I can think of nothing better to do than post to my blog. Well, actually I can, but I don't want to ruin my moment of bloggyness.

As I sit here typing, my brother is surpassing all of my scores, levels and such on New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
That's right. I've been pwned. The sad thing is that he's 6 years old.

So I was on tumblr a while back, and I was looking at some funny pictures which reminded me of when I used to do funny picture Fridays on this blog. Funny picture Fridays was basically when I would find funny pictures on the Internet during the week, keep them on my desktop, and then post them to my blog on Fridays. I was wondering if you guys would like it if I did that once again.

So... That's basically all I have to say for now....

questions...ANSWERED!

Hi guys! 


 Recently I've been asked a lot of questions, and a few minutes ago I saw these following questions on my friend Kirby's blog.  (Click here for her blog)  and decided to go ahead and use the same identical questions.  


A:  Something I am sad about:  
Hmm....I honestly can't think of anything at the moment. I'm maybe a bit bummed that I won't get to have my friends over for my birthday, but that doesn't really count, does it.


B:  Favourite Band: 
Probably The Rolling Stones...mostly because they have a HUGE library of music.  I can say that I do enjoy the following groups: We The Kings and Never Shout Never....from the first 2 albums of course.

C:  Who I like and why I like them: 
Welp, this question is very vague. Either that or I'm too freaking pathetic to just get to the heart of the question and answer it.    

D:  Dream house/place to live and why:  
Hmmm....Every summer when I was younger we'd pack up and go to Gulf Shores Alabama.  It's a beautiful small beach town, and it never drops below 55 degrees farenheit. I feel very at home there, and it's such a quiet town (Aside from the tourist district) that you are never feeling smothered.

E:  Post a recent photo of yourself:

F:  Favourite Movie:
Tonari no Totoro.

Well, that's all for now!   I'll finish the rest later...that is...if you guys want me to. :3

Of changes and Vlogs.

Hello!    Today I finally filmed the vlog.    I got around 40 minutes f footage to edit sometime over the weekend.  I won't be able to on Friday because I'm going to see "The Woman In Black" 

I am super excited.  I hope you all understand that the movie is going to come before editing.   
Hopefully a lot of my editing troubles will be solved when I get the iPad and the "My Fi" card for on the go editing.  I will be able to beam the footage from my camera to the iPad, and then use the iPad version of iMovie to edit the vlogs WHEREVER I AM!!!

With tools like the iPad, I might just be able to make daily vlogs, whilst living with my busy schedule.  
As you know a computer is your best bet for making professional-ish things, but the iPad is great for daily vlogs that require simple edits. Do you guys think this is a good idea?   

Thanks for reading my blog, and watching my vids!

Little to say. yet so much to post.

Yes. Once again I have neglected to make a proper post to this blog. Feel free to yell at me, and throw pointy objects. I don't care. I deserve it. I deserve punishment as much as that cheeto crumb that fell into the depths of my favourite keyboard that I use for blogging and such. That's right. I lost something inside my keyboard because it isn't one of those fancy new spill proof ones, but instead a 12 year old apple pro keyboard that you could probably use as a murder weapon...and keep on typing. I'm also willing to bet that it'd be completely unhindered by the blood, trickling down in between the keycaps. NOTE: I have no experience in the predescribed field. Now that all of that is out of the way, I can get to the point of what I was going to say originally.

  Apologies:

I apologise for not making a vlog last week. I was unable to do so. I promise, for I was sick, and being physically unfit to spend the day vlogging with my friends, I uploaded a violin video I had made back in the fall. Although it was a good video, it just wasn't the same as a good 10 minute vlog.

  News and such:

News. Something I have quite a lot of. As you know, tomorrow I am filming a vlog, and maybe doing a bit more. "A bit more" is what I am kind of concerned about. I have noticed that my channel, in namesake and whatever it has so wonderfully evolved to be, is now a rather personal channel, for my posts. Not exactly suited for collaborative videos. Therefore my friends and I have decided to create a new channel. One for web-series and such that will involve all or at least most of us. We even have a good script all planned out. We plan to release a new episode every 3 months or so. That is, I feel, the best we can do at the time because none of us can drive, and since wel all live around 45 minutes, or even 45 hours, away from each other, it is rather difficult for us to get together to film. Each episode will be around 10-15 minutes long. I assure you that they will be rather enjoyable, and of decent quality.

 ---------------------

 I certainly have typed quite a lot in the past few hours. I feel I should leave you all now, and hope you enjoyed the post. Thank you! -Smileyranger :3
