I cut myself on a tin of mints

Just read the title, it explains it all. I was closing a tin of mints, and it pinched the area between my thumb and my index finger, which started bleeding. That's pretty much it, hope you didn't walk into this post expecting more. I bet you read the title and thought that I cut myself on purpose. Jokes on you I suppose. Somehow this was not the highlight of the evening.

As you may have noticed, I created a new video today. And then I erased more than half of it, by accident. So I quickly grabbed my camera and ran into the closet (insert joke now), and began to film. I didn't get to cover all of the topics that I wanted to but I just wanted to create and upload the video. To my surprise the video uploaded in HD, something that the previous two Vlogs failed to do. Maybe I need new software, this time I just used the Flip software, which created this weird fade between clips that cut off some of the words I was saying. That will be something to look into, as well as obtaining new editing software. For the most part I think I am going to stick with my Flip for most of my Vlogging, but hope to be able to upgrade, or at least use my new HD webcam for non-mobile Vlogs.

There aren't too many videos on my Youtube page as of right now, and for those few videos there are few views and few subscribers (although there are more there than here), but I'm hoping that with a strong speaking voice and consistent video uploads, I should be able to acquire a fanbase. The one thing that I will need to work on is getting material. Working a full time job where cameras are not allowed, and speaking of what happens at work is against contract, makes it difficult to find material. But I'm sure that it will come soon.

Until the next Vlog, Tweet, Facebook post, Dailybooth, Ustream or Blog,

New webcam or lack there of

So today is Valentines Day. I had wanted to either order a heart shaped pizza and have it delivered, or go out and buy a box of chocolates, then eat them by myself in front of the employees. Sadly I did neither of these, instead I sat in my place waiting for a package to arrive from Amazon. I had ordered a new webcam and a Bluetooth earpiece. I rarely use Bluetooth, so I really question why I went out and bought it, of which the only answer I can come up with is that I secretly want to feel like a secret agent. Of which I will likely pretend that I am at some point in time during the next week. With the webcam I hope to begin doing Vlogs about random things that happen in my week, alongside with random reviews of random things. I also have to learn how to edit. I need a "to do" list come to think of it. But sadly they wont let me pick up the package until tomorrow, but I will be working the entire time that they are open, same for the next day. So the only time that I can go to pick it up is on Thursday, and despite it being one of my days off, I might just wake up early to go and pick it up. 
Anyways this is everything that has been in my head for the past 15 minutes, not bad for my first Blog, not necessarily good either. I think I'm only going to post links to this Blog on my Youtube videos, so that way I can separate my real life from my separate persona, my internet persona.

If you are reading this then you know what it's like to be on my head. And for that I'm sorry.
