A Word to the Wise

We posted ANOTHER awesome video today. It was a battle video. I held a contest where people could submit requests in hopes of having it featured AND receive a shoutout. The winner was Sharow34581... I think. Go check it out. It's on my youtube channel as the latest uploaded video.

Today I received some crappy comment from a crappy subscriber. I call him crappy because that is what he is. It was the usual you're spoiled comment. My reply is what it will always be. I WORK. I am anything but spoiled. I do NOT have the means to just go a buy whatever it is I want. I started out with a 5 year old camera, that could barely stay in focus, a plastic lid that I used as my backdrop, and a tripod made of books, a lamp, duck tape, and a shoe lace. I unboxed a present I received from a family member, and I also unboxed my cousins. I was forced to share double packs we occasionally got until I had an idea of my own. I could MOW lawns for money.

Mowing is really hard work. It gets hot. You get tired. It sucks. BUT, you can make a lot of money doing it. Well, in kid standards. I used to make anywhere from 20-40 dollars PER yard I mowed. I used ALL my money (well the 1/2 I was allowed to spend) to buy beyblades. I started making videos... and I was extremely fortunate that people decided to watch. Later on I was offered revenue share on one video and then finally... YOUTUBE PARTNERSHIP.

The moral of this story... If you want to know how I started out... how I can afford my beyblades... JUST ASK. I can help you start your own lawn mowing/car washing/ housecleaning business.*

I use my mom. You're right. I'M A KID. I have to live with her. I have to eat her food. I have to use her bathrooms. But what kid doesn't? When I am an adult... I will go to college and move out. Which is normal. I actually have a phobia of living at home when I am in my 20s while going to college... would not be good for my life with the ladies. LOL! JK! Or am I?

Right now though? I'M GOOD WHERE I AM! I am thankful to everyone for being so cool and thinking my vids are worth watching. I know I have changed stuff a lot lately, but I promise if you stick with me... you'll have a blast.

*Side note... the key to a successful business... FLYERS! Roll them up and put them on people's front gates... and front doors. JUST DON'T PUT THEM IN THEIR MAILBOXES... It's actually illegal.
