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)

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.
Bye x
