A brief history of my YouTube addiction.

Well a year and a half ago I discovered YouTube. Before that I did things like occasionally view sunlight and interacting with members of the opposite sex, nay the general populace. But I found YouTube and got sucked in by it’s crack magic. I was smitten with an electronic love for this astonishing wonderland of creativity and global interaction. I made new friends from across the globe. I made myself some videos. And life was good.

You see, before YouTube the internet really had no use for me besides free porn and illegally downloaded music. I was happy limiting my usage to those two activities. But YouTube opened my eyes to a vast array of internet activities I had never been exposed to. After the initial binge of video consumption, I began reaching my e-tendrils out to other sites. I got a Myspace page, also known as social heroin. I started reading a few blogs. Pretty soon I moved on to harder usage, like Break.com, MegaUpload, and Flickr. I found out about all the free games and cool sites that I had never thought could exist.

Anyway, I thought I might share some of my previous internet activities with my new blog readers, sort of like a brief history of Josh. And before any of you start sending me your panties and professing your love for me, I’m sadly taken. You will have to long from a distance. Also, I realize that when my goatee is long it looks like pubic hair. I wear it short now to avoid that little problem. I just always wanted a long ass goatee, even as a young child, so I had to try my hand at it for several years a little while before I gave it up.

This first one was the only one that really kicked ass. Well it was at least funny to me. The premise was all about sticky songs. You know the annoying ones you don’t really like, but when you hear them you can’t get them out of your head for days. I believe in German they are called Orverms (I have no idea how it’s spelled, i just did it phonetically) which translates to “ear worms”. Yeah, well this video will unstick them by replacing them with lots of even more annoying songs using the latest in psychological therapy, a side hobby of mine. Ahem.

This was the first video I ever made. I didn’t have a camcorder at the time, so I had to use stills to illustrate the story line. I entered it into a contest a fella by the name of AericWinter hosted, in which you had to make a video about one of your stuffed animals. This one was all about (Curious) George the sock monkey. It’s weird, I’m just warning you.

And last but not least, a video I did for a friend of mine VeeBeeLicious, a total fox from across the pond. She, like me, is a bit of a freak, and she requested that all her subscribers make her a video in drag. Or at least in make up, I think I kind of volunteered the drag part. But anyway, if you want to see me in womens clothes, this would be the video for you. Also featured in this video, my brother Nate and my Sister-in-law Sami.

That pretty much sums up all the half way decent videos I made. Most everything else was shit, but if you want to check it out, my YouTube profile is OnceYouGoatee. Peace and chicken grease from Dixie Land.
