I've talked about my blogging obsession in previous articles already, in a word it's kind of getting obsessed with the figures as if the number of visits could really measure my success, but most importantly it's the fact that I own a corner on the internet that belongs to just me that makes me feel good, that's why I'm willing to invest almost excessively large amount of time and effort to run my blog(across so many platforms).
As for vlogging, well, it's a concert I learnt over a year ago when I first really got deep into the whole YouTube thing, by deep I mean I wasn't just looking up for stuff on YouTube and merely use it as a tool but also embrace YouTube culture and community into my life, even attempted to kick off my own YouTuber career, which failed silently(yeah, when nobody watches your channel it's literally failing silently). Although the bubble of living off making YouTube videos was burst(I didn't put enough effort anyway), it's never an end to my affection toward YouTube culture. Vlog as one of the most influential and attractive video format didn't work out really well in my hand, nevertheless the idea leaves great impact on me.
So when I recently picked up Casey Neistat's vlogging series I just immediately fall in love with his style, his flow in editing, choosing of camera angle and scene, above all, his personality and charisma and secretly, I admire and envy the fact that he can speak to a camera in public without minding what people around here might think. Well actually people don't think! People just pass by, but for me I have first camera shy, then this inherent shyness in general just prevents me from talking to a camera in public, I wish I could break my psychological barrier and speak freely in public one day.
Anyway, I'm binge watching his videos every single day, becomes one of my daily dose beside GMM and Pewds.
As I told you this morning, I woke up at 5 and went out to shoot video of Venice, tried my best to make a Casey Neistat like video(except the talking part), I'm afraid that I spent way too much time on that 7 mins video: shooting 2 hours, editing and producing film 2 hours, uploading 30 mins, fix the background music and re=upload... another 2 hours in. But it made me happy and I myself watched it many times again and again because I genuinely like this video I made.
Another thing I wanted to say is that it feels good to be outdoor, really it isn't normal if you stay home 3 days in a row and besides buying grocery you never move your ass off the chair, it is not normal, not healthy, not at all good for a person that has dreams and goals to pursue. Therefore today I wish to set up this new personal discipline: make sure to go outside at least once a day. There's no guarantee that any interesting story could happen during my walk about, but it's for sure that if I stay home nothing interesting would ever possibly happen.
That being said I still have a lot of things to accomplish, preparing for my upcoming exam on 17th, in just two days, after that I'll go around Venice just to give out my resume and wish me luck finding a new job I'm tired of receiving financial support from family.
Okay now today's blogging mission is fulfilled as well, gotta go to bed, tomorrow noon giving English lesson.
Again my Vlog today:
