Why do I always start these things?

Okay. I have just started the most ridiculous project ever!
If it works and goes to plan and everyone becomes involved, it will be the best thing I have ever done!! But that is a MASSIVE if. So far it is looking good but I am already getting stressed and worried about it.

I'm not going to say exactly what the project is but it requires input from a lot of people. And so far, even though it is only the first few hours of planning I have had some responses, mostly positive :)

But why do I always start (Try to start) these projects without ever thinking about whether they will work or not. I know why, because I have to.

I have to be working on a project. If not I feel like I am doing nothing and now that I have failed NaNoWriMo, this is my new project. It may however be short lived and replaced by another crazy scheme afterwards.

Just gotta hope it all works out....

DFTBA!

The Highs and Lows of Dean Houston

Welcome to me new 'all grown up' style blog.

Looks more adult doesn't it, no I don't mean adult in that way.

The last time we spoke I was in a very bad place and was rather negative about everything. Since then, life has taken an unexpected rocket launch upwards. The main reason for that is several awesome people who i will talk about later on. But for now, more about this new look.

It's very green, right? I like green so I made it green. It looks more uncluttered and nicer I think. It has a more up market look to it but don't worry. The content is going to be coming from me, so it will still be childish. As for the name, I spent a while thinking about it and it just sounds like my life. The only time I ever blog is during a high or low in my life so why not name the blog after that :D

I will be blogging bout those people I spoke about earlier in this post seperatly over the next while. So while I summarise my love for a special little group, why not see what i have been up to in te break...

Daily Video Week!!! (20th - 24th September 2010)

This week is Daily Video week for me and therefore I will posting a video everyday this week.

This is only the weekdays as the first video explains. Although I will make a video on Saturday for DDoE.

I plan to make 5 different videos. The first of which will be posted later tonight/tomorrow. The first will be my usual vlog but the other four will be very different. The videos will also feature some special guests in the form of James, Hannah and maybe Luke (not confirmed yet)

I need one more special guest for the Friday video but I'll figure that out as the week goes on.

I hope you enjoy the week and the different videos I'll be making.

Bye.

DFTBA!

Feeling the same. Making a video tomorrow for DDoE.

Time hates me....

DFTBA!

Wednesday, 15 September 2010

Oh Shit. Here comes the future...

Only start reading if you are in for the long haul. This post is long, rambling and thought-filled. And 100% me....

I haven't posted in a while and right now I am in more of a confused and complicated place than I have ever been in during my life. There is one main reason for that, one which is at the forefront of my mind for 23 hours of the day (I take 1 hour for other stuff xD) and that is UNIVERSITY! So on my mind that it has to be in caps when I type it! With the following sentences ending in exclamation marks!!!!!!

Yes University. I have to try and choose which courses to go on, at which university, why I want to go there and be sure that these decisions are going to be the right ones for me as they are going to change the rest of my life. All of these life changing decisions have to be made by me, without seeing any of the universities and by next Friday. NEXT FRIDAY! And that alone is melting the very atoms of my brain by the second. Soon enough my head will be hollow and the brain melting stress will have to move onto the next vital organ.

So yeah. Those decisions need to be made. Soon.

But even with that set aside for the one hour of the day I am not thinking about it, a million other things rush into the tight space known as my conscious mind.

Some of the million things include:
  1. How am I nearly 18 already?
  2. I'm not ready to be 18!
  3. Can I not reverse my age?
  4. What will I do for money if I fail my exams?
  5. What do I do for my 18th?
  6. Why am I such a twat?
  7. What is the meaning of life?
  8. The Game! FUCK!
  9. Ha ha, you just lost the game.
  10. Wonder what we are having for dinner?
  11. When will my EMA start?
  12. I need a haircut.
  13. I need to sort my face out.
  14. I need to dye my hair again.
  15. Why does YouTube hate me?
  16. Where am I going wring?
  17. Is it Saturday?
  18. If it is Saturday. Crap, need to make a video fore DDoE
  19. Where has this year gone?
  20. How am I doing on 365 days in 20 ways
Abd on and on and on and on. These then repeat 'till my head bursts and my now atomised brain spurts in all directions.

But seriously. My life is pretty screwy right now. From a personal side I have some family stuff that is just crap really. I have all the above problems and 999 980 more to deal with. And some of them just seem massive in my head and scare me to death. Slowly I am starting to realise what is happening to me. I'm growing up. And not just in the literal way, like age and height but really growing up. I'm worrying about money and Uni and work and living and just adults stuff. (No, not that kind of adult stuff) and it genuinly terrifies me. I'm gonna be an adult soon. I don't want to be one.

You would think after 18 years of prep I would have realised this. But it turns out i thought I was Peter Pan and would never grow up. Reality is now hitting me hard in the face, with a shovel.

So. My current metal state is fucking terrfied of the future.
Uni is fast approaching and I don't even know if I want to be there. And the older I get the less I am starting to like the person i am becoming but whenever I try to change it, I can't. Maybe I will always be like this or maybe it takes this fear and terror to change me into a better person. Into a better man?

Maybe I'll find out. But for right now. The world is whizzing past me at a million miles per hour and I feel like i'm being left behind....

See you all soon.

Yesterday...

Here is the story of yesterday, 14th August 2010.

Me and James got up nice and early at 6am and got on a train to that there London town!
I had hardly had any sleep the night before so i was super tired and not in a great mood for the journey.
But we started talking to two girls who sat by us on the train and they were nice. The one girl, sorry I have forgot your name, took James' and my blogs so may be reading this now? But we got off the train at Euston and tried to get to the London eye to see if the 10am gathering. Let's just say that we went a little off direction and ended up in Covent garden where we went into the biggest apple store in the world and was amazed. IT IS HUGE AND FREAKING BRILLIANT!
Walking then ensued as we wandered the street of London before the signing event at Waterstones which started on the afternoon.
After lots of walking and tube stops we were at the Waterstone where all the people with tickets (i.e. not us) went upstairs to waot for the signing for John Green. As we were about to leave we saw not one, not two, but three 'famous' youtubers. One is Hannah, one is Rosianna and the last one. JOHN GREEN! Yes John green simply stepped out of the lift and was standing in front of me! I became a fanboy again instantly!
He was much smalle rin real life than i thought he would be and he had a deeper and more american sounding voice than I thought he would but nevertheless just as awesome.
We were then told that we had to wait a while but we would be allowed to go to the signingand so we waited.....
After more queing we met John and we signed my books. James spoke to him about football and he liked my 'buttons' (Badges). So I was happy, excited and not tired anymore.
Then we went along to the gig at Ice Father Nation where Alex day, Tom Milsom and Edd Plant played music and John green read from his book and was just an all round genius.
I will talk more about the gig tomorrow in my vlog as that was really the highlight and needs to be discussed in video :D

I go away soon and this has made my summer so far. Pictures, videos, vlogs and recordings all to come soon.

*P.S. Check out 365 days in 20 ways list. It has been markd off :D*

Ideas but no videos

This is a problem I have had a lot recently. I have lots of ideas for new videos but because I just think of them while watching Tv or out somewhere I never have the incentive to do them straight away and therefore they just don't get done and I just always wonder whether they would have been any good and whether people would have liked them. I have came up with two ideas today and really want to get at least one of them up before I go away on the 22nd. I will probably make a video next week about tomorrow night and that will be all right and maybe watched a few time because it will be a about the gig and people will watch because of that and not me. Then I wan to do one of my other ideas that I have come up with today and maybe the other after I get in between my new collab channel which I will have to post on weekly.

There is a point to this blog post.

The point is I need ideas that people will like and therefore I have created a moderator module on my channel where you can submit your ideas to me for videos. I hope you do and the next time I post. I will have lots to talk about...

DFTBA!

New Video: Review of 'Sherlock (BBC One)'

An Awesome Few Weeks

As the title suggests I have a very awesome few weeks coming up. The first of these things is THIS SATURDAY and as you can probably tell I am really excited. On Saturday I am going down to London for a John Green book signing and nerdfighter gathering with james during the day and then on the night John Green and Sons of Admirals (- Charlie) are doing a gig/book reading/signing and it is going to be brilliant.

In this event I will be able to complete one of my 365 days in 20 ways goals and make an advance in some others. I will be able to tick off the 'Meet Charlie/Alex again' task as I will indeed meet Alex again. I will hopefully, 'make new friends' at the event and indeed 'have fun' and I will have been to one of my 'go to 3 gatherings'. So it will not only be a great day in itself but it will make my years that little bit more complete.

After this amazing day/weekend (We don't get hoe till the warly hours of the morning the next day) I have a week of packing and preparing for my holiday to Florida which I am also super excited for. i am going for 8 days and it is going to be just amazing and I cannot wait. I will also 'Have Fun' there and 'Make New Freinds' and maybe even 'Do more excersise' on the beach. Who knows?

After that amazing holiday it is back to school and time to work on my number 1 goal for this year, 'Do well in school'.

So, after that little outburst, what are you doing in the next few weeks?

* all the things in '....' are tasks I set myself and can be seen over here ---->

Looking for Alaska...

It's been a while since I last posted. And just an update on the Vlogbrothers watching, i did it. Yes i am up to date having now watched every single video on the channel. I think...

But today I wanted to talk about Looking for Alaska by John Green. I got this book today and started reading it just over an hour and a half ago and I am already on page 99 :D
It is, so far, on of the best books I have read. It is very funny in parts, very real in others and very philosophical throughout which I love. As i say I am only 99 pages in but I am already in love with the characters and I think the 'countdown' at the start of each 'chapter' is great. Can't wait to see what it is counting down to.

Once I have read the book I will post a review on here and my channel.

Also an update on the 365 days in 20 ways front. I think one of those things are going to come true very soon xD

Finally, I have a NEW PROJECT for the summer :D

DFTBA!

Brotherhood 2.0

I am only 3 years behind...
I have decided that, now that I have watched all the back videos of Charlie, Alex, Tom etc. (My favourite youtubers), it is time for my to watch back all the old videos of the VlogBrothers videos. Only problem is that they started in 2007 but they made a video on every weekday that year. (That's aprox. 20 videos a month, thats 240 videos)
From about 12 last night I watched the first three months on these videos (about 60). I then went to sleep. Waking up at 11-ish. I then started to watch the next videos.
This brings me to now. 8-ish hours after I started watching them. I am currently on 16th November 2007. (So I have watched about 160 videos of theirs today)
Tonight I will watch a few more hopefully then tomorrow I will watch to the end of 2007.

Then I have all of 2008 and half of 2009. (I started watching the VlogBrothers in mid 2009)

I will keep you updated on my mammoth watching :D

"Blog readers. I'll see you on Monday"

I Need Your Help (Well, suggestions)

As the title explain. I am in need of help, in the form of some suggestions.

I am going to add an extra item to my 365 days in 20 ways list (yes that makes 21 but we will ignore that fact). For this bonus item I want you to give me something you want me to do in the next year. It can be something stupid (Eat cinnamon), something difficult (Run.), something serious (Raise x amount for charity) or just anything you can think of.

I will mention this on my next video and hope you will give me some ideas. Comment, facebook, message whatever.

Lets get things straight...

Ok then. Yesterday i told you I was coming back. But now I want to explain why i left in the first place. Trust me, this post is gonna be long and is aimed at people who actually care. And if you don't care or don't like me then continue reading anyway as you're the problem...

I left blogger, twitter, facebook, youtube and most other social networking and online publishing sites for a number of reasons but one main reason started to really piss me off and get to me. ow is the time for me to get things straight.

I know that I have raised this issue before but it seems that was not enough to shut people up so now, after a few weeks of thinking, I really think I can take another shot at explaining the point and obvious 'problem' some people have with me.

It can be summarised in one phrase that I hear more than most others* and that is, "You are just trying to be Charlie!"

Charlie McDonnel is the person in questions and in case you don't know is the biggest youtuber in the UK and you can see him here. Last time I spoke about this I went through the different things that a still unidentified person said to try and insult me and explained in each case how I was not trying to be Charlie. But that wasn't enough.

So what else can I say. Well I can be truthful. I know this all sounds silly but I see this 'return' as a new start and I do not want it to be full of peoples comments and digs at me.

So here is the truth-
I would give anything to be in the position that Charlie is in right now. He gets paid a fair bit of money to make videos from home, without any tiring work and (seems to) have a lot of fun doing it. He has great friends and a great life.
Who in their right mind would not want that life for themselves?
However that does not mean, that I 'want to be him'. I want to be myself in everything I do. Whether that is on youtube or on anything else, I want to be me. I don't want to be seen as a shitter version of somebody else.But I dream that one day i would be in the same lifestyle that Charlie is in now. And although that will not happen he is still a role model and the 'ideal' that I would like to achieve, however unlikley that is.

So does that clear it up? I am not doing this out of spite or hate for anyone but people telling me this made me want to stop doing the things I enjoy and therefore I felt it needed to discussed. If you still think that I am trying to be Charlie then please comment on here or message me on facebook or whatever. If you don't and you say that I am. Well, I will tell you where to stick your opinion!


So. See you all soon :)

(New Video coming soon. taking some planning and a bit of technical problems but will be up this week sometime)

*Except, "you just lost the game" (Which you just have)

I'm Back

Hell Yeah!

I have been planning/thinking about coming back and today is when i am doing it. Mainly because I have an idea for new videos and I feel like I am over the things which made me want to leave youtube and blogging in the first place.

To anyone who doesn't like me or what i do on the internet. Fine. I can't please everyone and I don't want to. If people hate me then that is really fine by me. Just don't watch my videos and don't read this blog because I don't care and I don;t want to hear what you think.

To anyone who does like me, hi :)

I hope you like the new things and ideas I am going to be putting out in the next few weeks and months and maybe even years. (But i doubt it)

I will be going into why I left youtube and reasons behind it and the things that changed for me in another post.

This post has been kinda rushed but I hope you understand. Questions and other points in the comments please.

Indefinate Break

I will not be posting on this blog.

No sure if I will be back or not

So this is an indefinate break

x

Monday, 10 May 2010

So yeah, I deleted twitter...

As the title explains, i deleted twitter.... Feels strange not telling the internet what i am doing every few seconds :/

I did it because i kinda saw that their was no point. I would sit, like a loser and watch everyone else post and talk to eachother and I just watched not knowing what to say to anymore. And what is the point of that. So, it just had to go. Deano858 on twitter is gone...

I was going to make an election/politics post for last few days but i feel as if it would be a waste as everyone has opinions and i'mma keep mine off this blog. Whatever happens, happens. In the end, as always, the people have no power at all.

(Damn, that last bit was an opinion, shit!)

Still kinda stuck of what to say but I have been writing some more songs the last few days. Lots of thinking makes me write songs..... Now back to thinking....

Bye,

P.S, You must, and I stress the must go look and read this blog. If you don't. Well then, i'll get the Pandorica on yo' ass!

x

Saturday, 8 May 2010

Well... Not much to say anymore...

I am in a bit of a problem at the moment. I have no idea what to put in these blogs, or into my videos or my music. I a in a massive multi-platform writers block. So bear with me, I will get through it and be back before you can say Dimensionally Transcendental (Have I ever explained what that means?)

Anyway,

Till I think of something,

Bye

Humanity, Sex and Life?

Please watch this video and then read the post below it :)



See. I watched this video a few weeks ago and it made me think. It's took me all this time to try and think through the different things raised but I think i now know what I think.

As i have posted before, we invented love, it started as sex and maybe in the end that's all love is, a need for a bond with somebody for sex? But maybe not, that seems to animalistis in our new, human world. But as Tom says, we are all animals in he end.

I always thought that the longer I could possibly live, the better. but i think i was wrong. I don't think it is our choice as to when we die. I'm not talking aout a force of nature or a religous power controlling us but the force of our own existence. Our own bodies decide when they have to die and we have no right to decide against it. The only certainty in life is death, but that doesn't have to be a morbid look at life. It's a look that explains how even though our lives are shirt and fleeting and tiny in the grand scheme of things, you have to make the most of it.

I would love to know what you think so please, for once. Comment below...

The ever Human (But wishes he was timelord),

I Has Business Cards!

Yes, I have a set of 50 business cards :)

There are 4 different designs:
1) Me and Charlie
2) Me, James, Alex and Charlie
3) Me, James and Charlie
4) Me on my own in my very pink looking bathroom (Not as wrong as it sounds)

So yeah I have 50 cards to give out and have nobody to give them to :(
The main reason I got them was so that if I meet anyone at any Youtube gatherings i could give them a card and they could have all my info :)

But now i have them I just want to give them out xD But to who?

Any Ideas?

Time to Focus

This is gonna be a tough few weeks for me. I have exams, so tht means lots of revision but don't worry i'm not leaving this blog or most of the other things I do.

I will still post Youtube videos and I promise the Friday vidoe will go up at some point as well as my Doctor Who reviews which I am now weeks behind on.

But I have left twitter, mainly because I don't speak to people on it anymore and I feel i'm just wasting my time on their just watching other tweets and not actually talking to people.

So yes it is a time to focus but I still wanna keep up with the things I enjoy.

btw the creative stuffs page hasn't been updated recently as i'm making them into seperate pages as I type :)

See you soon,

Friday 30th April - It's The Final Countdown!!!

This is it. Only a few more lines and then it's over. BEDA will be done and we can never speak of it again.

Of course i'm joking, I have loved doing BEDA even if some days I have come up with shite to talk about.

I think I have spoke about some midly interesting thimngs and tried to reaise a bit of debate.

I really hope you have all enjoyed it. Technically, it's still BEDA till midnight. So, there is only a few hours left.... It's the final countdown.

I will see you whenever I next choose to post,

New Video: Wednesday- No Ideas

Wednesday 28th April - Its not love, its insanity

The whole idea behind this blog post is this video by Tom Milsom.
The title is the name of one of the songs i have wrote and you can see it on my bandcamp.

Love. What is it really?

Scientifically it's just a mix up of chemicals in the brain. A rush of emotions in out head that make us feel this unprecedented care for another human being. But is that really love. Because if you boil it down, it's just us. The human race calling out and trying to find somebody else to be a 'partner' with in this world. Animals have partners and mates but do they fall in love, or is it just instinct?

Does that mean love, in its simple form, is just a instinct a primal feeling of needed to be with somebody forever. I don't think so, the cavemen, our earliest ancestors, did they feel love? They lived on the primal instincts alone but did they have love? Did they just see the feeling of love as a mating process just like animals. Is that what love is, is love just an urge to meet somebody and mate, a survival instinct that started all those years ago?

In my opinion and you might think I'm wrong but I think love is whatever you want it to be. It's not just a chemical rush or an instinct, or a primal urge for survival. I think that love is whatever we want it to be. In the last few hundred years love has became more prominent in our lives and therefore we have changed and altered it. Love is different for everyone, we all want different things from it and so we should. We made this emotion, we named it love and we all love by it. Whether we admit it or not is a different thing. But everyone wants love, for one reason or another...

Woah, that got a bit deep didn't it. i wrote that earlier today in school whilst in my free listening to music. I would 'love' to know what you think about this or if you think I am just over thinking it?

Thanks for reading, Video up later

See you tomorrow,

Tuesday 27th April - Woah

Today has been a very eventful and both good and bad day for many reasons.

Would just like to say Happy Birthday to Emily who is 16 today and is one of my best friends

Today i was thinking amount the moments in your life when you actually say 'woah'. That massive intake of breath when you are so surprised there is nothing else you can do.
The two main moments I can think when this has happened was Doctor Who in Cardiff when I went to the studios and when I was at the Zone. There have been other moments for good and bad reasons, but those are the moments that you remember.

So, what are you 'Woah' moments,

See you tomorrow,

Monday 26th April - Sorry guys :)

I was very bust this weekend hence no videos and last nigth I was looking after my mum as she wasn't very well.

But I do have something to talk about today and that thing is formspring.

I have a hater on formspring.

And they are saying I am trying to be charlie. They obviously haven't read my blog post from before about me explaining Charlie as my main influence.

But this post is not just a rant, it's a happy post :)

I am very happy at the moment, no matter who is posting stupid formspring questions trying to insult me

I hope this week will be really good and fun for all you, as well as me.

Friday's video is already in the making,

Friday 23rd April - St George's Day

Today is St George's Day and it's not really that much of a big deal for people in this country and people hate that it isn't.
People don't celebrate St Georges day but why? I think it's for the simple reason that English people can't be bothered. The Irish mad etheir patron saint day into a massive celebration, so much that even the English celebrate it. But we didn't, we have never been bothered to make it into a party. That's why I think we don't celebrate it.

Sorry for a short blog today but you have a vlog below to go by.

Tomorrow I will tell you more about the plans for the coming week,

See you tomorrow,

New Video: Announcement for next week

Thursday 22nd April - Ugh!

I did however come up with a new idea for a video. very different to my other videos :)

See you tomorrow,

Thursday 22nd April - Today's post

Ok people, this is the plan.

1st Post- Was about hair, planning and me being angry at a certain youtuber
2nd post- Was my new video 'Red Hair Time' Hope you like it as i think it is one of my best
3rd Post- This one, telling you what today's plan is and about that youtuber
4th Post- Will be later tonight. It's time to get political

Today is a busy day and I just felt like this blog needed a bit of attention and tbh BEDA is nearly over and I wanna make sure that this blog carries on after it :)

Now, onto that youtuber...
I say that I am angry at him but really i'm not. His name is James and you all know who is, he is my best mate (Well one of them) and he was doing VEDA and did it successfully 20 days and then yesterday he forgot and then today he announced he was stoppin Veda, which i was sad and angry about but i can understand because he has exams and he needs to focus on them. But i am doing the opposite. I am going to be making more youtube videos over the next weeks and months :)

So I hope you all enjoy them :)

Coming to this blog later tonight, it gets political, and this time it's personal (Its not. The debate discussion with me :)

See you all tonight,

x

P.S. James if you are reading this, i'm not really angry with you :P x

Blog News: New Banner

Thank you to Alex for making the new banner for the blog :)

Just a point before tomorrow

After all the recent posts and talk about people wanting money and fame out of youtube it has made me think about why I really do any of this stuff.

Why do i run this blog/website:
Honestly, its something for me to do when I am bored and I enjoy making posts. Not the normal boring posts where I natter on but posts about something, posts that have a point to them. But really it's to put everything I do in one place, my videos and my twitter and my graphics and music all together which brings me onto the next thing...

All the creative stuff:
I can see how to some people I seem to be trying to become the next Charlie or Alex by making vlogs, doing a blog, have dailybooth and now making music but I really want to tell yuo that I'm not. Well, not directly. I love making my vlogs and as i just explained my blog. I have had the other sites for ages and the music is just a new thing I am trying out. The reason behind all these things is Alex and Charlie by i am not trying to be them, I am just inspired by them As cheesy as it sounds there are a few people who are, what I would call my idols and Alex and Charlie are two of them, as well as Tom Milsom and Johnny Durham. I only 'copy' what they do because i am inspired by them. All of there music and their youtube videos are what have made me want to do the same things.

This post may seem very self indulgent but that is not what i want it to be like. I decided to write this post because in the next few days i want to go back over the point of the reasons behind some peoples youtube videos and without the post I was worried that I would seem to be being hypocritical talking about this issue when I look like I am too trying to become youtube famous.

As a final point, I am doing these things to enjoy them and to have a record of the things I have done in my teenage life in however many years time. I, of course would love to make money from these things but that comes seconday.

And with that out of the way, prepare for a big debate over the next few days :)

See you tomorrow, for real this time

Monday 19th April - Follow up from yesterdays blog

Yesterday i was talking about youtube fame and corporate youtubers (See the original post Here...) and it seems there is a lot of talk about this right now on the internet. So if you have an opinion on this issue or you want to see what other people think, these are the places for you to go...

Charlie McDonnell (Charlieissocoollike) made a video about fame and spoke about the idea of youtube fame and whether people go onto youtube looking for it. You can see the video Here...

The original blog post that made me want to talk about this issue was from Alex Day (Nerimon) who was speaking about corporate youtubers and the reason behind why people are on youtube. You can see that Here...

Hope you all like this debate and I will be talking about it again soon...

See you tomorrow,

Monday 19th April - Last day of the holiday

It is a scary day for any person in education. The last day of the holidays, especially if you are going back to moaning teachers and intense exam revision and then exams. But this holiday has been a lot of fun and a good time for me tbh.

I have got a lot of personal things sorted out in my head and I have started doing what I have wanted to for ages which is share the stuff I do with more people. I have started to fo my own music and hopefuly brought an instrument which i will be able to learn and play. I have decided what I am going to do for most eventualities at the end of this year, although i knwo which one is most likley.

As much fun as this holiday has been, i think its a good thing that I will have work to do from know on because it will focus me and what I need is focus. This blog, my music and everything else I do will become second to my work and I hope you can all see why I am doing that. But in no way is this the end, it's only the beginning...

*cheesy*

See you tomorrow,

Sunday 18th April - Youtube, just for fun or a buisiness

This was an issue raised on Alex Day's blog about whether there are such thing as 'corporate' youtubers. Meaning that there are youtubers whose sole aim is to use the site to make money. And i think its an interesting debate because there are examples for both sides of the arguments.

There is no way that anyone can say that some people don't use just for the money. Some people go into making youtube videos knowing about the partnership scheme and knowing that they can make money from it. When i started making my youtube vids for my blog and I started watching Charlie and Alex's video I didn't know anything about the partnership scheme and I was just making the videos for fun. I am not going to lie in this blog because that's not right because when i found out about the partnership scheme I thought that I would really wanna get onto it so that I could make money and get a bigger audience that would enjoy my videos. I am still making videos and I still enjoy making them and I would still love to make money from the partnership scheme but does that make me a corporate youtuber?

Would like to know what you all think about this?

See you tomorrow,

Saturday 17th April - Doctor Who

Wow! That was an amazing episode of Doctor Who. I love the doctor and Amy even more every episode and I love the new Daleks. I actually felt bad for the old Daleks :'( but they were evil.
More chnage but it is for the good :)

This is a short post and one of the twi crap posts of today. I promise a post tomorrow that you will all enjoy :)

See you tomorrow,

Saturday 17th April - Double post today

After last nights fail of a blog post as i had to put it up in a minute. Today, as a kind of a punishment, i will be doing two blog post. A pre doctor who post, this one, and a post doctor who post later on.

For this blof post I wanna talk about what you do with yuor free time. Cause now that it is nearly the end of the holidays I realise how much free time I have wasted in the last two and a half weeks. I have spent most the holiday here, in my living room on this computer. Very sad. When really i should have been out with my mates more, no being sad.

So what have you been doing?

See you after Doctor Who :)

Thursday 15th April - "We're halfway there!"

Yay! Today is the 15th meaning we are halfway through April. Not that this really means anything to me as I will still be blogging after BEDA ends as i plan to make this my own little website and not just a blog. The first step to that is the pages i keep going on about.

My Music! If you haven't read the creative stuffs page, then why not! Go read it now and come back. I'll wait.

*waits*

ok, welcome back. So yeah i'm writing music and this morning i have a chorus and a verse for my second song. I even recorded a melody, which was badly drummed and whistled by me. So in conclusion so farmy music is bad singing over das drumming and bad whistling. God i know how to sell it to people :)


Might do another blog post later tonight just for the hell of it, then again. Maybe not :P

See you tomorrow,

Wednesday 14th April - How to train your dragon

I went to see How to train your dragon today and it was, ah-may-zing. Yeah it was a very good film and the 3D was actually quite good :)

In more interesting news, as i said in my previous post, the Creative stuffs page is up. And i have officialy written one full song and have about three half done ones. I should really be doing my art and maybe even finishing my new story.

I am planning on making a little video for the different pages as an intro. My youtube videos are going ok and i will be recording the next in my 'Why I love youtube' Series tomorrow :)

Monday 12th April - Writing ideas

If you don't write stories then this blog post may be very boring but oh well.

As you know if you follow this blog, i write lots of stuff, such as my stories. And i always find it hard to start the writing process. I find it hard to get the story started and still think ahead to the end of the story. Thing is, once I am writing a story the different ideas are going round in my head all day. Different things in the story, at completly different times in the stoyr come to me whenever and i think them up in my head but hardly ever write them down and from then on it is easy to keep going through the story but that first chapter or two is the hardest. Getting the initial spark of inspiration is the hardest part and even if i can think of a good start if i can see how the story will progress  or how it will eventually end.

That all made no sense whatsoever. Jeez i talk shite...

Anyway it was a more detailed post. I have news for you all tomorrow about some other things i have been writing...

Saturday 10th April - A great night and a disappointed Dean

Last night was really good. Stephen and Alex stayed at mine, we played pokemon, ate pizza and watched films. Good times. However i am not in the mood to blog today for a simple reason, Doctor Who. I will say more in my review video in the week but i was very disappointed with the episode :/

See you tomorrow, and i promise for a longer and happier blog tomorrow

Friday 9th April - Birthdays and Birmingham

Today had been a busy day.

First of all I would like to say Happy Birthday to Gary and Cat whose birthday's it is today:) Hope you both had a nice day

Now, today i have been in Birmingham with Ste and Alex. Ste is a friend of mine and has been since the start of primary school and I see him on most weekends so today was just another day out with him. But Alex is my cousin who lived with me for 5 years and left just over a year ago.  Since he moved out I had only seen him once before today and that was like last summer. But today i saw him again and it was just like it was when me him and Ste used to go out all those years ago, except we are all a lot older now. After today I plan to make sure it isn't another 8 months before I see him again as today has been so funny. So in conclusion this whole post is dedicated to Ste and Alex. Two greats :)

See you tomorrow

Wednesday 7th April - One week in

This is my 7th post and therefore the 7th day of my BEDA challenge. One week and i have already had a 'fail post' and some very pointless posts. i spent all day trying to put off writing this as i had no idea what the hell to put. But i have came up with an idea. I am going to be lazy and just post the first paragraph of my new story, Scarlet Sunbeams.
I hope you enjoy...

"Ouch!" The doctor yelled as he placed his finger in his mouth. "That is really hot!" He laughed as he stepped away from the orange glow of the tardis console. "Doctor?" Amy smiled as she walked up the steps towards the console, "I touched the console and it burnt me" The doctor smiled childishly. Amy laughed and walked around the console, admiring the different things attached to the amber center. "So, Amelia Pond. Anywhere in time and space, where do you want to go?" The doctor smiled as he walked around the console, peering around the central pillar at his new companion. Amy just laughed and looked up at the immense ceiling of the Tardis. "Well, you said anywhere, so an alien world. And you said any when, so the future" Amy grinned as she leaned forward on the console over towards The Doctor." (Doctor Who: Scarlet Sunbeams)

So there you go. If you like that first little paragraph then the story is up here and is being updates every day.

See you tomorrow

New Video: Plans to this channel

Tuesday 6th April - A day long post

Today i have updated this post throughout the day so that not only you get a longer post today but so that it is different to all the other posts so far. So here is s day long post:

02.54 AM: Just had the thought to update this post all day and then post at the end of the day so i stopped playing pokemon for a bit and write this. Am currently with Stephen, who is also playing pokemon while we listen to Charlie McDonnell. I really fancy a chinese :/ Doubt there are any open at this time of the day/night/morning. Not really that tired yet, may just stay up all night.

12.07 PM: Got up and came straight on here. Watched doctor who again last night. I still love that episode. Need to get some food, and quick.

16:40 PM: Just made a new youtube video. Kept messing it up and Stephen wasn't halping. Just starting to realised that doing today's blog like this may be a bad idea because it shows how little i actually do with my day. Gonna write a few more chapters of my story now.

19:13 PM: Just posted a new chapter. Not my best as i am tired and not really in the mood to write that much. Now realise this was a bad idea.

Ok, so its now 19:15 PM and i have chosen to give up on this idea and label it a 'Fail Post', trust me there will be a lot of these on this blog so lets just wipe if off forever. A new post after this one will have my new video on it

Tomorrow's will be much better

New Video: Review of 'The Eleventh Hour'

Monday 5th April - What i do with my time

Hello again,
I am a geek. The reason for that is that i spent most of last night writing the first 10 chapters of my new story.
The reason for this is that i have a lot of spare time during the holidays and is also why I have completed my new pokemon game already. This is also the reason why today i have been planning the next 3 videos that i plan to make on my youtube channel (Amd their good)

Only a short blog today as i wanna get back to writing. I promise you will get a longer post tomorrow :)

You can read my story online, HERE

See you tomorrow

Sunday 4th April - The Doctor Will See You Now

OMG!
What an amazing episode of Doctor Who. It lived up to every expectation i had of this episode and i already love the eleventh doctor and Amy Pond. There are a few things i wasn't sure about such as the titles and the new theme tune but i can live with them. I don't wanna say too much about it on here as i am making a video about it later today or in the week so i'll say what i think then.
But Happy Easter :)
Hope you are all having a great day and I hope, if you watched it, you enjuoyed the new era of Doctor Who.
If you did watch, what did you think?

Sorry about this blog being a bit shorter today but i don't wanna say too much

In other me news: I am currently writing 2 new stories :)

See you tomorrow

Saturday 3rd April - Geronimo!

Yay! The day has come. After it being revevaled that Matt Smith would play the 11th Doctor back on 3rd January 2009 and now 15 months later it is finally time for his first episode as the doctor, 'The Eleventh Hour'. I have been so excited about this for, well 15 months but now its is actually going to air.
I have read a lot about the episode, seen lots of interview but i reall have no idea what happens in the episode. There is a post up on the internet with the 'full' details of what happens and i refuse to read it as i want to watch the episode without knowing what is going to happen.
What do you all think, is it better to know what is going to happen via spoilers or to enjoy an episode with no knowledge of what is going to happen.
"I'm the Doctor, I'm a time traveller. Everything I told you... its true. What's happening in the sky is real! And if you don't let me go right now, everything you've ever known is over"

See you tomorrow x

Friday 2nd April - To edit, or not to edit?

Hello, again.
Second day and i am sitting here wondering what to write about. I could do a whole blog about who excited I am about doctor who but i think i'll save that one for tomorrow. I could post the video that i filmed last night, but it was crap and will never be uploaded to youtube, ever. Ah, ha! An idea!

I've been making vlog now for the last few months and at first i just recorded them in one long recording and didn't do any editing. Now, i like to do some editing on there but no where near as much as i could do. But do more edits make a better video. I mean if i can do my whole vlog in one recording, not make any mistakes and make it flow. Does that make it a good video, or do videos need edits and jump cuts to make them 'look' well made.

I am working really hard on making the two video series i am making on youtube to make them be good but also 'look' good and in my mind that meand i'm going to be spending alot of times cutting my videos together, but do I need to?

Let me know what you think?

Wow, did i just get through another post, another day of April passed with a 'ok' length post, i think i did!

This weekend is officialy Doctor Who weekend so if you dn't like the show you will hate this weekends posts.

Talk to you tomorrow,

Bye x

Thursday 1st April - Easter Holidays

Hello again and welcome to the start of 'Blog Everyday in April' by the end of this month you are all going to be sick of reading this and you probably just won't bother but oh well lets start as we mean to go on.

I was thinking of putting and april fools post up today but i knew i wouldn't be up in time, before noon that is. The reason for me not being up before noon is simple. Its the Easter holidays which means i can stay up as late as i like and go to bed whenever i like.

As much as i love the Easter holidays i also hate them ever to slightly. You spend the last two weeks of school/sixth form counting down the days till you are on Easter break and then as soon as it starts, e.g. today, you are bored as hell.

So,l mtoday i am just at home with no money and bored as hell, at least i have this blog to keep me occupied.

Just realised how long this blog has been and it getting longer. Argh! I think i may run out of things to blog about by tomorrow.

Yesterday i went to see Kick-Ass, which is an amazing film and it inspired me to start writing again. I have always loved writing my own original stories and I'm taking this Easter holiday as a chanve to write a new one. So starting as soon as i finish this blog i will be writing my new story *excited*

So that's all for today, a very long first post of the month but don't get your hopes up they won't all be this long. Some days i think they may end up just being a single word.

Until tomorrow,

Byeee

If you have any ideas or challenges or anything that you want me to Vlog about then email me at deanblog858@googlemail .com or @reply me on twitter (Deano858)

"Don't be sad that it's over, be glad it happened"

Warning: This post is incredibly soppy and emotional. I sound like a sap but it's all true xD

This last week has been a big one for me as a person. I know this sounds silly as I just met some youtubers and i'm claiming it has changed me completely but it really did make me think about myself for loads of reasons.
First of all, meeting Charlie and Alex was a massive thing for me as they are like idols to me. They are what i dream to be like, a 'famous' youtuber but still a really nice and normal person. The fact that i got to speak to them and spend the day around them was amzing as by the end of the day I felt as if i knew them better than just from my computer screen in my living room. Seeing how happy and excited Alex was by me wearing his badges and T shirt made me think how proud he must be to have something out that people really connect to. I want to be able to feel like that one day.
Another thing about that day was that I was myself, the normal me, the geeky, tired, lazy, nerdy, acne faced and strange teenager but with all these things i still managed to talk and make friends with two great girls, even after i was covered in fruit salad. This made me think that if these people can take me for what i am why can't I. I have, for a long time, longer than i can remember, hated who i am, my look, my personality, everything about me but if new people i have never met before and get to know are fine with my imperfections then i should be too.
Thirdly and most importantly, the moment i walked around the corner and saw Alex, the moment i spoke to him and he noticed my badges, the moment i saw and spoke to charlie, the live show and talking to Hannah and Clare after the show, the way I felt in those moments was so euphoric and great that i want to feel like that every day. Before this week i was a miserable person, i felt like the world was against me and i was feeling sorry for myself. But now, i just think back to those moments and think that if I make a go at things right now i could be in those situations all the time. Whether its meeting my idols, meeting new people or even making something that i am so proud of that connects with people, that feeling of happiness is so great that it is worth the hard work right now in my life.
The whole point of this blog is for people to see what i am really like and this is me. I am all the things i listed above but now i wanna change.
Now I am a happy and positive person who wants to make the most of the here and now to keep the feelings that i have felt this week.

I need to thanks a few very important people for helping me this week.

Most of all, James Ansell, one of my best friends, who went with me to London and shared in the feeling and emotion of the day and to whom i will always be grateful for going with me and being just as much of a fanboy (girl) as me. Thanks James *xD face!*

Thanks to Jack, Steph and Emily for putting up with me for talking about this all week and for not giving up on me in the last few weeks when i have been a miserable sod. thanks you :) x

Thanks to Hannah and Clare who helped me to see that I can make freinds, even if it is over a geeky obsession with 2 youtube stars. Can't wait to meet up with you again :) Thanks xx

Thanks to everyone else who has made this week so special, Chloe, Natalie, Zoe, Jak, Shefali, my family and thanks to you for even reading this long winded emotional whine but it does mean a lot to me.

James said this to me and it is how i will remember this week, "Don't be sad that it's over, be glad it happened" and how glad i am :)

Thanks :) xx

The Best Day Ever

Very few days in my life are good enough for me to say that they are one of the best days of my life. Yesterday joins those very few days.
Yesterday I went, with my friend James to London to watch the recording of The Zone an internet Tv Show. Its was the best.
A Rundown of the awesomness of Yesterday:
  • Me and James wondering the streets of Londond
  • Watching a street performer fail at an act
  • Missing our tube stop (James' fault)
  • James being a ninja (No longer James' fault)
  • Getting lost on the way to the studios
  • Finding the studios and wondering into Alex Day, Tom Milson and Ed Plant
  • Talking to Alex Day
  • Being in the small audience
  • Meeting the Up your Viva man
  • Seeing Charlieissocoollike
  • Talking to Charlieissocoollike
  • Watching Ed Plant perform and dancing with Alex Day and Tom Milson
  • Watching Alex Day perform and James' moshing with Tom Milson
  • Getting to know Hannah and Clare, cool people.
  • Talking to Charlieissocool like some more, about how he had to learn his lines
  • Going live on the internet
  • Being chosen to be in the audience game
  • Throwing fruit cocktail into a helmet bucket (hucket) on James' head while he throws it at me too. All of this while Charlieissocoollike, Tom Milson and Ed Plant are watching along with a live internet audience
  • Sitting in a room with my hero, charlieissocoollike while covered in fruit cocktail and paint trying not to get any on him
  • Later on, standing outside with Alex Day and Charlie, talking, getting photos and autographs and just being great
  • Getting the tube back with Hannah and Clare talking about the whole day
  • Sitting on Hannah and Clare's bench
  • Quickly saying bye and running for our train
  • Talking on the train about it

My Fun Day Filming

Ok, so i do Media A-Level and for our coursework we have to film a two minute film trailer. We have spent about two months doing pre-production stuff and now we have two and a half weeks to film.
We went into Birmingham to film and we started with the main shot we wanted.
This is where the problems start:
1) Person A, who is playing the main character is in a bad mood and being an idiot about doing the film and is making a meal out of it so we spend about 25 minutes getting this one shot

2) We then get told off by two security guards because you are allowed to film, BUT you are not allowed to let the tripod you are using touch the floor.
Fair enough, so we decide we can make the trailer, blair witch like, and then we can just use the camera free hand.
Because its like 1 now we went for lunch, where outside McDonalds, Person A decides to have a domestic with her sisters. Full on shouting and swearing in the street.

3) Me and Jack go to the shop to get away from the argument and when we come back, they are gone.

So it ended up that we went home and rewrote the script so that the main character is a man and we are gonna have to film in sutton after school.

Rant over.

Sorry for not blogging much but not much has been happening.
