Videos. How hard can they be?

I've been watching so many KevJumba videos that I've developed a minor crush on this boy one year younger than me. Haha, kidding la, Josh, I only have eyes for you! But this whole vlog culture in the States is amazing. It certainly looks more fun than blogging! Well, you just look at the camera and talk. The best is, people think you're really confident and cool (& good looking) but the truth is, for that one good take, you had to take 10 lousy ones. Oh btw, vlog is video log, the video version of blog. ("OOOH, i get it now!") And another btw, blog came from the word web log. Cool huh?

So I was saying, you look at the camera and talk about your life. Apparently many people dig it, including me. It's the voyeur in everyone that keeps those fingers clicking on these videos, and before you know, you're a fan of this absolute Nobody in the States. Just like that! The best part about these videos is NOT the video itself, it's the comments!! I mean, I could click on like ten pages of comments and not get sick of it. Wow, I sure know how to waste time!!!

Last night, on the phone with Manda, I said, "Man, we have to do videos in Mexico! We might actually get fans." I continued,
"We could do dance moves as intros!"
"Like a signature tune?"
"Yeah, I can compose one!" [What am I thinking?]
"Well, what are we gonna use to record?"
"In-built webcam la! Or digital camera video function?" [We will be so noob if we do start on this vlog thing]

So what do you think? Should I go ahead with this wacko idea???

To get an idea how cool these videos are, check out my favorite Youtube comedian:
