Kevin's year...

I'm trying to bring YouTube content back to my main blog, so bear with me if you're not interested.

Kevin was wading in the waters of YouTube when he decided to do a cover of that Tumblr avbytes thingy.

Well, that exploded, so what does he do? Try to make a video 3 times a week for a year. That was recently finished ,so let us recap one by one.

10/17/12 - The Pilot. Look at the sweater! He was quite experienced as he did Kevin and Kyle show. Look at his enthusiasm! He's a natural. Dying joke is actually funny.

10/19/12 - The Terrified. New set and New York Federal Reserve bombing scare. More morbid jokes. What's with Kevin and death? (Must be October)

10/22/12 - The Mondayne. Life expectancy and weird maths... debates! Football! Interesting humor.

10/24/12 - The Byter. Music and wave physics. Fun. Kevin trying to be Hank... and succeeding! Clones are nice, too.

10/26/12 - The Beloved. Hah, Nazi. Also, confusing slashes.... Damn math and its bad notation!

10/29/12 - The Stormy. Oh, Sandy... Kevin is more comedic here with the umbrella...

10/31/12 - The Ad-Hoc. Even with Sandy, Kevin is still making those videos.

11/2/12 - The Dehydrated. Still no power and water but keeping singing those tunes...

11/5/12 - Probably my favorite of the early Kevin videos... song is just beautiful.

11/7/12 - The Alive. Parent's House... This is a slow ascent of Kevin being a speaker, well as a comedian. Good research.

11/9/12 - The Regressing. This is so cute and nicely done.

11/12/12 - The Spirited. The books and cassettes and the definitive change to his current style that I adore.

11/14/12 - The Stately. So, Kevin works at Mashable... And that AvBytes video... ah, yeah. They are good, just again I think it was tad a bit late.

11/16/12 - The Literate. Oh, education... Why? is sacred gem like oil. Tangential Learning! This is where the joke and the soapbox meld quit nicely and this is why I like Kevin...

11/19/12 - The Scared. 64 Subscribers... Charlie is a great conversation starter and hah... video responses.

11/21/12 - The International. Change the editing style and Google's scare! Well researched, again.

11/23/12 - Nice Parody... There's a lot of Black Friday parody ,but one could suffice.

2/11/13 - Nice history of the... world? The future?

2/13/13 - nice slow valentine's song.

2/15/13 - The Quotable. I remember a person who used Taylor swift picture and put Hitler quote to look like T. Swft had said it in a cheesy fashion... it was very funny.

2/18/13 - The Hysterical. Comedy is an art and a science.

5/22/13 - The Self-helpful. Mistake is okay once, or twice if unknowable.

8/26/13 - Anamorphic!!! Also, barrier... Simple (current) outro.

8/28/13 - Buggy Video Response.... Oh, great. Better YouTube?

8/30/13 - So, let's build better YouTube. What to do?

9/2/13 - The OZ argument. You all have what you need.

9/4/13 - Out of body experience... Stuck with human frailty.

9/6/13 - Depression... hmmm... getting on the horse.

9/9/13 - Thumbprints... Everybody's thumbprint... privacy for convenience.

9/11/13 - Right way...? Wrong way. Roomba!

9/13/13 - Fear? Balloons. Sa... skip. Best idea...? Embarrasing parents... we saw your junk... Leaving empty space... okay. Ice cream!

9/16/13 - Getting meta... wait, what, huh?

9/18/13 - That quarter... screens? Looking straight on.... he'll look at you. Two disjointed thoughts.

9/20/13 - Comforting food. Environment is not alone. Out of hand... insecurity has no half-life. It's not a bug, it's a feature.

9/23/13 - Countdown starting... Think about it... (no tags.)

9/25/13 - So, where the community go? Alex is great...

9/27/13 - So much topics and so fast talking! End with some jazz!

9/30/13 - Great tag. Now the review.
Jackie - Great if a slow turnout of videos, lovely gal and lovely videos
Morgan - I appreciate the style. I just feel too awkward to watch Morgan's videos, but her style is very typical of the Seattle style... I guess that's the word. Kind of no flash, no trucks style of vlogging... she's very good at that.
Niall - What a great YouTuber. Just his video have so personal style to them that it pops without any effects, it's gritty it's working class Britain. It's nice.
Mr. Collins - Interesting person, didn't realize he was dutch, so that's new. He is a more edgy Mickeleh. If you like Mickeleh's ponting, you'll like Collins.
Lamarr - One of the great person in YouTube, almost in Buck standards of happiness and hopefulness. He's always trying new stuff and he does good job of it. Watch it, if you like variety and personality.
Sharkee - He might be interesting... it's more comedic VSauce, so I don't mind but you might not be the core audience, just take a look and see.
Michael - Just a well-eloquent cool old guy. There's humor and wit, but when it's needed.
Mike - Not a self-helper but probably the greatest self-helper that is. Also makes great music.
Mari - I'm not her style but there's something punk aunt-looking lady's way of life that will interest some people.
DK - I don't know, but I like him.

10/2/13 - Take your resource and do the best... no shame in quality low or high. Nice breakdown! Just great thought of the process and the message. (Also low-fi week is why I think YouTube will survive without video response...)

10/4/13 - (order) Great videos... waiting... no comment. Forgot the person who said it, but there's a quote "If you believe 80% of what I said, vote for me. If you believe in 100% of what I said, go see a doctor." Order is good, but chaos reign. (definition ending)

10/7/13 - (design) Number in physical relationship... use your multiplication. Make connection in disparate things. That's human.

10/9/13 - (tension) This will be good video. Arrogance! Personal Significance... stress about dumb stuff.

10/11/13 - (composition) Look back on my life... Obsess a series of stuff... list of news... No closing line.

10/14/13 - (balance) No number. No weakness. Have you stop watching? Google backfired!? Huh?

10/16/13 - (light) Shirt is the thing now. New stuff... hmm.

10/18/13 - (white) So, we are done. Or not. So they are killed... off? Again, a great ending!

So, how he fare? Well, I think he did a great job. He had so much up and down and change in video style over the year that I think he has such a future. I like Kevin and his show.

(That's a horrible ending.)

Poem #2 '-ender'

(It's slightly off, but you might enjoy it)

To engender.
To smell the lavender,
Go to the bartender and hear the blender
Running and to see who’s tender.
An attender by the ascender comes to me.
I render you’re a spender,
a moneylender to make me surrender
Think I’m a contender, a goaltender
Trying to be a mender
but you’re a offender, pretender
Using me for a weekender
Ready with a descender
Thinking you’re on fire like a hellbender.
You see gender through a cullender
You must wait for a calender or a supercalender
Glossing the centerfold to sell to the vender
The page is a slender girl taking off a suspender...
But all love by you is a fender bender.
Only way I’ll touch you is through an extender,
Because I’m the defender, not a lender.
Because I don’t need a provender.
I’ll return the drink to the sender.
Besides, you don’t know I’m a transgender.

Onelook rhyming challenge: *sent and *ception

(Onelook rhyme challenge is where I go on to onelook.com and search for "common words" that have the same ending and use them all in a poem-like structure. Today's ending: -sent and -ception.)

You know what I resent
Is those who misrepresent
What we have sent or unsent
Represent assent that's absent
That dissent is only for the present
And that they are omnipresent
That they can charge like a wisent
But that's not the meaning of consent.

Your conception of preconception matching your reception
Is mostly misconception, leading to my perception
That you'll use deception to change my apperception
Your interception to ignite inception,
Soon losing my proprioception
Only feeling the interoception,
That intussusception of your force into my body,
Then you realize you didn't even put contraception
Turns out I'm not the exception.
