Update Post

Hey guys, Cdog here. I am here to inform you of some video that are coming to you all soon. I recorded a few videos playing minigames on Sky's server Saturday night in which I will be uploading for the next couple days. On top of that, I still need to make the recorded writings since I have been eager to reboot that. The minigames I recorded btw or Block Hunt, Run from the Beast, TNT Run, and Pink Men Slappin' on Each Other. I had a lot of fun making them, and I did it by myself. Usually I don't have that kind of fun without friends to accompany me. Other than that, that's all. The videos will be in within a couple days. Until then, goodbye!

Reason for Delay

Hey guys, Cdog here. I have to apologize for not putting out the "Love" writing out as promised on Friday. The reason for that is that I'm revising it a bit so that I can get my homosexual argument "presentable." By that, I mean I want to write it good enough so it doesn't offend too many people. I have discussed it is a delicate subject to talk about, so I want to be careful. Anyway, I will have it later on today as well as "Metamorphosis" as a bonus. Other than that, perhaps I'll mess around in a technic pack and make a video on it. Also, I have just finished Outlast finally. If you remember back in September I did like one part then just stopped. The reason for that is I was reluctant to play for a while plus with all the extra band time I had. The day I recorded that first video was right after a competition we had for band. I did record a part two, but I never uploaded it and I deleted it since I had no consideration of uploading it. I finally got back to it last week to play more and found out how much more terrifying it was before. I just wanted to let you know, since I have been waiting for that game for awhile. Anyway, yes those videos will be out today, I promise with the bottom of my heart. Until then, goodbye.

Upcoming Writing: Love

Hey guys, Cdog here. I guess I am here to talk about a sort of back story for my piece on "Love" that I am going to upload on Valentine's Day this Friday. I just want to say, it includes what I think about love and how new I am to it, along with some personal experiences along with that support of homosexuality. I wrote it last Thursday, the 6th of February because I felt as if I needed a work about love. To be exact, about 1500 words were put into that document when I wrote it. Let me get this straight, I am very new to love, but I understand it well. It's weird, but whenever I have a female accompaniment, I feel awkward. But for others love, I understand it. I express how since I am in high school, I see quite a bit of love in the school, but I don't feel it. That is why I have been led to believe that relationships usually don't last past high school. Guys typically just date the hottest girl they see, but I don't believe in that bullcrap. I believe in finding the one that really suits my personality. It doesn't matter about the looks for me. If I can make that girl happy and if she makes me happy, then it is set. Once again, I am new so this can't just happen once and I'm all aboard the love train or anything like that. It is a delicate subject to talk about for me since I was suddenly bombed by love this year whenever I had my first love interest and crush as well. It was very sudden and I felt unprepared, but I have since learned more about love and how it effects our world around us. My belief is that love essentially makes the world. It is a beautiful emotion, but it can be very complex to deal with. Once again, some guys may beg to differ. Just find the hottest chick than bam! Just drop in a pick up line and you're set. No. I don't believe it works that way. The problem with girls these days is that they are easily influenced, in which is why I have been lead to believe that I wasn't the right once for my crush since I was rushing it and she was all in my head. What I mean by that, I was very new and had no idea what I was doing. This is something I expressed in a paper I wrote for English back in December, in which the teacher absolutely loved. I'm not going to go big on homosexuality here, but I will on Friday, but this was a sort of preview on my views on love on this post before posting it on Friday. Until then, goodbye.

My Thoughts

Hey guys, Cdog here. I know, third post today, but I wanted to share my thoughts on my first recorded writing on my channel. I was really excited to release it today; I felt it was really special. The thought of something of my own work on my channel, with some of my friends already liking it, it is very special. I love how you all now can dive into my thoughts and hear my experiences that has happened over the course of the past few months or later. It feels great to share my thoughts to the world, and even in some cases, help the world. The thing is, I want to help the world through my writing someday. And who says that someday can't be today? I feel as if my writing has the potential to help some troubled people and give them good advice on how to live out the rest of their lives. The thing is, I wouldn't force it, I would let them build their own path. And that is the key to fully living right there. You have to learn from past experiences such as this one for me and build upon it. Then, you will learn from your past and start advancing your future. That is what that writing felt like, my own self reflection over my troubled summer months. Just remember, it all didn't happen that day of July 31, the reason I chose that because I was really going to a Pirates game in Pittsburgh. That whole half hour represented almost the whole summer of band rehearsal. Also with that quote at the end, that is what I'll do at the end of each of those videos. This one, "Assumptions are the termites of relationships," was said by Henry Winkler. I felt this quote was especially true for myself, since I assumed the girl in said writing didn't like her treatment, but not talking to her possibly messed up a potential relationship. Much like termites would... oh they would. So remember, don't assume things. You can possibly ruin some possible relationships in your life and struggle more if you just assume stuff. I will have another video tomorrow called "Metamorphosis," in which I explain the most recent experiences of my so called metamorphosis, which I call my emotional development. The writing will have tons of references to Zoey's "You are Awesome" video since I wrote it the same day I watched it and it is what started this whole "emotional development" within myself. Until then, goodbye!

The Video is Out Now!

Hey guys, Cdog here. So anyway, just a moment ago I posted how I was having issues with the video. Well I found a way around it by recording it with Bandicam on the internet instead of the Windows bullcrap. Anyway, the writing I recorded was one I wrote for English called "The Pain Inside" which explores my entire thought process over my regrets on not talking to this girl at band camp, or the whole summer. I hope you really enjoy it. I felt really proud of myself making this, since I have taken a huge step into sharing these online. This one was tough to write since I was never one to express emotion, but this writing would set up the foundation for the future. I hope to upload one everyday up to Valentine's Day in which I will share my writing about love. Warning though, there will be an argument on homosexuality in it, so I am being very careful in my words since this is a delicate subject for anyone that is religious. If I end up offending you, I apologize, but I am speaking my opinion. Until then, goodbye!

Finally the Video

Hey guys, Cdog here. As of now, I am finally getting into the whole writing video thing, but I'm having a bit of a dilemma. The thing is, the easiest way to make it is to just have text on the screen rather than my voice, but I feel as if it is more personal if I am reading it myself. The point in these videos I'm making is to make it more personal and make it my own. I also want you to see who I really am. I'm trying to work around it. What I have attempted to do was to record the photo I was going to use then add music to it. The only editor I use is Windows Movie Maker since it is the easiest free software that I can trust. I'll try to work around it. Anyway, you can expect that video tonight. Until then, goodbye.

State of the Channel

Hey guys, Cdog here. I was looking through my YouTube analytics today and was a bit disappointed in what I saw. My views have most certainly dropped since August, and I know that is due to the fact of marching band, whenever I didn't have time to upload videos. Even now, whenever I'm uploading more often for the first time since the summer, it isn't getting much views. That is one reason why I'm trying to the the writing thing to work. I believe it will boost the channel since I know it is my own work, and I hope people would appreciate it and perhaps share the videos to help others. That is my goal. One day, I want to help people in the world, and who says I can't start now? No one, so once that first video uploads, all I ask is to watch it. I don't care if you watch it once and never watched it again, but if you know it changed you, I'll be happy. Perhaps you can share it to some troublesome people you know. Remember, that is my goal. I want to help, and I want to start it now. Until then, goodbye.

This Weekend's Plan

Hey guys, Cdog here. I felt like posting again, just for "fun" as I call it. I have been thinking about this weekend, and I'm going to look into how to record those writings. I do have a few pending, and one about love for the spirit of Valentine's Day. Yes, I am finally doing a holiday "special" sort of thing for the first time since December 2012 with the Epic Jump Map: Christmas Trolling. I plan on starting Tekkit soon, I just have to get the server compatible for it due to the lack of enough memory on the server. For these writings, I hope you guys will listen to them. It would mean more to me if you watched those rather than me being stupid playing a video game, but I wouldn't mind if you watch that and is into that as well. If you believe my writings are good, spread the word. The more, the better. I just feel as if one day my writings can impact the world. Until then, goodbye.

Expressions

Hey guys, Cdog here. Interesting title, you may have noticed. That is due to the fact that I have been doing that this week. Expression. It is a powerful word. It represents everything a person does or says, because the way they express their emotion is different from you and me. For me, I express through the written words, much like now. This past week, I have gone through many of experiences that has furthered my knowledge on life, love, compassion, depression, and stuff like that. So I have written about it. It helps clear my mind on issues in life by writing it on a Word document or on this blog. This is what this blog has turned into, me expressing myself. In fact, I have a great new writing on the Writings page now, about love. I'm still working on making these writings videos, but once I do on Valentine's Day, I will upload my piece about love. Just saying, it is about 1,500 words and approximately two and a half pages of length. So yeah, a lot. So get ready for that. Prepare yourself for some homosexual arguments though. I will keep more in touch with you guys with post much like these. Until then, goodbye!

The Writings Page

Hey guys, Cdog here! I have not kept my promise on uploading the writings within the few days mark. I did try today, but the editor I use doesn't allow two audio tracks simultaneously, so I need to find a way around that. Anyway, I know what to do with that "Random Videos" page now, turn it into the "Writings Page" where I will keep all the transcripts of my writing on it. I have been writing much recently, mainly because of Zoey from the Yogscast. I feel like one certain video changed me, and perhaps I'll link it here. Anyway, her past experiences gave me new viewpoints on many of life's hardships and the problems with modern society today. So I wrote a lot on that, and her Youtube channel is the first one that actually made me smile in every single video. I don't know what's with that, I am usually one not to smile but she just tears me apart. That's what I admire about her, so I'm going to take my writings as my new passion for my channel, and I can't wait to start uploading it. Until then, goodbye!

The Backstory

Hey guys, Cdog here. If you saw the weekly update last week or saw my latest update video you should know of the my interest on recording my writings here. Well that's what I'm gonna plan on doing maybe today or within the next couple days. They are mainly going to be either ones I wrote for school or on my own as a sort of "freestyle." The first one I plan on doing is one I wrote back on the precise date of Sunday, October 20, 2013 the week of the Towson competition I went to for marching band. It was for a English dialogue bonus in which the prompt was to write about a time in which you regret not talking to someone. I wrote it about less than an hour the day before the due date (since we only had the weekend to do it). This was also the day before I talked to my English teacher which sparked the start of my metamorphosis. That wouldn't necessarily begin until after Tuesday, November 5, but that week I felt like my old self. Until Saturday, the day of the competition, in which I felt like my whole life changed. I won't go into detail on that, but my closest friends know what I'm talking about. Anyway, during the dialogue I wrote, I recalled of the many times in band camp in which this one certain girl was always picked on by the upper classmen of the brass ensemble. I never really talked to her about it. I wasn't sure whether or not it was really harassment, or if she had fun in it at all, I'm not sure and I still not sure to this day, approximately 6 months later. I regretted not talking to her to make sure how she felt in this, and it has been my greatest regret since. I talk to her more now, but then I wasn't into talking into girls, until after that Saturday, the 26th of October. Ironically, once that big moment came Saturday, which concerned of said girl from band camp, I talked with her the most that weekend the week ahead of time. I said as if God himself was playing a game with me. The week later, I was confused on what to do, and I fell apart in school again. I put myself back together the week later and never fell apart again. That is why this piece holds a special place in my heart. It was ironically the week I started to talk to said girl often, I even mustered the guts to tell her about this piece of writing. That all lead up to the climactic moment on Saturday. That why I properly titled it "The Pain Inside." So I hope you will enjoy the writing later on. It may seem like a large back story, but this dialogue is only a page long, which was the max pages I can write for the assignment. Until then, goodbye.
