Hello lovely readers!
See, whenever an idea for a blog post comes to mind, I usually jot it down in my handy Moleskine notebook. On May 22nd, 2010, I wrote simply: “I don’t understand Tumblr!”
Before I made this blog, I gave Tumblr a shot… and hated it. But I now I finally get it.
Basically, Tumblr is a cross between WordPress and Twitter. You’re not limited by 140 characters, but your text/photo/link/audio/video posts are meant to be short and sweet. So it comes in handy when you want to post something longer than a tweet, but shorter than a blog post.
So, without further ado:

At the moment I’m using it as a link-log of sorts. A place to share any cool, interesting things around the internet, but in the future, I’ll probably post photos and videos as well!
If you have a Tumblr, please give me a link! I’m looking for some awesome Tumblelogs to follow! :D
Sooooooo, I keep writing these drafts for blog posts, but I’m just lukewarm about all of them. I’ve got a whole list of potential topics, so don’t lose faith in me just yet! In the meantime, check this out:
Mystery Guitar Man included my photo in his latest video! I’m around the :30 mark, wearing sunglasses and a blue tank-top. It’s really just a split second, but see if you can spot me!
Later kids!
YouTube! We all know it and love it! It’s great because anyone can upload their own videos, but it also sucks because anyone can upload their own videos. There’s some good stuff out there, but you’ve gotta sift through all the garbage. So here’s a list of my favorite YouTube channels!
1.) Video is Unrelated: New uploads are rare, but they are soooo funny! All their videos are sure to make you think, “WHAT. THE. F***?!”
2.) Charlie Is So Cool Like: He sings, he plays a ukelele, he does challenges like dying his hair and eating baby food for your viewer enjoyment! He’s CHARLIE!
3.) Michelle Phan: Each of her videos get millions of hits and it’s no wonder why! Michelle has some of the best makeup tutorials on YouTube! Though most of her tutorials involve costume makeup, it’s still interesting to see how she uses color!
4.) Mystery Guitar Man: I just recently discovered Joe Penna, AKA Mystery Guitar Man. His songs are really simple, but they’re so happy! MGM is my personal YouTube espresso shot!
5.) Community Channel: And now my favorite YouTube personality: Natalie Tran! I LOVE her dirty, geeky humor! Her videos often poke fun of the little, awkward moments in life.
What are your favorite YouTube channels and personalities?
