Why do you do that? Pt 3

Why Do You Do That? Pt 3

So we've covered my love of video games and anime and how they came to be.
now the only hobby of mine left to talk about is probably the one people know me for,
YouTube!!

YouTube has been such a massive part of my life since  2007 when i discovered it randomly browsing the internet,  since then Ive watched hundreds of hours of videos, from video game videos, to anime videos, YouTube is the glue that holds all the different parts of my life together.

Most people spend money on TV subscriptions for hundreds of channels they will never watch and which they essentially have no control over other than the remote, but with YouTube you can watch what ever you want to watch, and if you're brave enough you can make your own videos for other people to watch.

Back in 2007-2010 i watched a lot of videos by people from the UK and in fact all over the world, in which they would either talk at the camera about something random, or they would document one of their days out, or they would create a comedy sketch that would leave me howling in laughter, and i admired it, me and a friend enjoyed watching parody music videos and always talked about how we would create our own, we never got round to it but we still had that creative desire,
and eventually that creative desire sent me into the crazy world of video making.

And what an amazing few years Ive had, Ive created videos that i didn't like but Ive created videos that I'm proud of,  my goal never to become famous like the people i watched when i first discovered it, but the simple goal of just making people laugh, that's all i have ever aimed to do with my videos.

Ive been watched over 20,000 times on the internet, and Ive met some of the most amazing people including the people i used to watch myself, and i can look back at my videos and remember all of the great times Ive had in this journey.

But unfortunately the end of the year is steadily approaching and as i look towards my end of year montage i realise Ive made 12 videos that i could use in the montage as apposed to the 40 i have usually made by this time in previous years..
Why? well gatherings are few and far between these days as all the people i used to see move on to other parts of their lives,
i dont have as many ideas for videos, and when i do i dont have the help around me to make them to the standard i could happily release,
my life isn't exciting enough to document my days, my mind is focused on other things and the social part of my favorite social media site has dwindled an diminished.

Does this mean i quit?
No of course not,  all of these blockades are down to my lack of enthusiasm, somewhere along the line this year i forgot why i made videos,  to make people laugh. and now I'm realizing how many missed opportunities Ive had to do so.


At this point id just like to say thank you to everyone whose been reading these blogs it makes me happy to know people are enjoying them, 
What topics will i cover next? I dont know but watch this space!!
