How to Own YouTube.

I love the internet, possibly more than I love my little brother.

Don’t judge me!

The internet can entertain me for hours and it never ever calls me “Ekers”. It also holds vast amounts of information, my brother- not so much. (Sorry Joey!!!) Anyway, to own the internet you simply have to use it to your advantage.

DO NOT LET THE INTERNET OWN YOU!

For instance, I use many social networking sites. Take Facebook, it RULES MY LIFE. I am constantly updating my status and debating whether or not to “friend” the kid who sat next to me on the bus in the second grade. I check it between every class and at least twice in the last fifteen minutes before falling asleep. I’m always afraid I am going to miss something! (Very sad, I know.)

When I am not on Facebook I am normally on YouTube.
I love YouTube. For me, each video leads to another- and it’s a slippery slope! I have been known to spend hours on YouTube watching videos about my favorite bands, movie stars, and even (stupid) videos about biting babies and talking unicorns.

Today I watched about 20 clips from the musical The Light in the Piazza, which, no joke is now my absolute favorite musical. Being able to watch the performance as if I was in the audience is intoxicating and there is something satisfying about not having to worry about the lady with the big head in front of you when you are instead sitting comfortably in your bedroom. When I come across something I really like on YouTube I normally share it on Facebook so that my friends can see and they can comment if they would like to.

I posted this video today. Why? Simple, because it has been stuck in my head all day and I wanted to share. ENJOY!



Keep owning my friends!

Dean Martin's voice makes me very happy.

Hope it makes you happy too!

This is along the same idea as my groups video.... kinda.

I love this song.

Gocce di Memoria by Giorgia

How far is my group?

I don't really want to answer that question. I kind of feel like that is for me to know and for you to find out... but it's my homework... so here I go....
I am loving my group right now.

Our brainstorming session the other day was excellent and I couldn't be more excited to get started.

I haven’t started shooting yet but that is mostly because I don’t know where BL 34 is.

I don’t want to give too much away about my groups project so instead here is a little about the interview that I will be conducting… more so a quick bio about the interviewee.

We are each going to be working with a friend asking them about music.

I chose my friend Connor.

Honestly, I only chose him because he is a dude. And my group mates were picking ladies.

Here's a little bit about Con Con:
Right now, Con is probably one of my best guy friends.... he should feel honored.

I met him through my old roommate and best friend, Lauren.

The two of them form a comedy tag team much like Martin and Lewis and the best part is they don’t even know it. Connor is the straight man to Lauren's funny man.

Here is a clip of the real Martin and Lewis:


Connor is the oldest kid and the youngest old man I know. He can be very mature but even in the most serious of situations or the most boring of bus rides he makes cracks about inappropriate things that make me blush. I think that’s why I keep him around, his jokes lighten me up.

I think Connor will make this project very interesting. Not only because he will be adding a guys opinion but also because he is, well…..Connor….and Connor makes everything interesting!

Anyway, I am not familiar with Connor’s taste in music and luckily I don’t have to be. This project isn’t about that. It is about the idea of constant music… music we may not know is there…

How intrigued are you right now?

I’m ending this… yeah, seriously!

You will just have to see the finished product…

Ciao ciao for now!
