Some things (BEDA Day 9)

In today's BEDA post I bring you a few things:

-Something that made me realize how stupid some people can be.
-Something that makes me sort of upset.
-Something that I'm still trying to get the hang of.
-Something that shows just how strange I am.

And with that, let's begin.

Something that makes me realize how stupid some people can be

Kaleb Nation and Eric Striffler made videos today (I HATE ERIC STRIFFLER! and I HATE KALEB NATION!, respectively.) The first one that I saw was Kaleb's, and I thought it was hilarious. I then went and watched Eric's video, which was also really funny. I had heard of Eric's channel before, but never really checked out his videos. But I like him, so I subscribed. Watch the two videos below:





Now, I thought that everyone that watched it would get the obvious sarcasm (or at least pick up on the fact that the "bad traits" that they listed were shared by both of them). Apparently not. There are legit hater comments on both videos. *facepalm*

Something that makes me sort of upset


I just finished watching the Teen Choice Awards not too long ago. I was kind of dissapointed - every single winner was very predictable. And even though Shane Dawson (winner of Choice Webstar or something like that) told us about this already, I am kind of angry that they didn't even mention the category. At all.

They just invited them there, and then did nothing. RAWR. I think I feel this way because I think of the Internet, especially YouTube, as this little place that not many people are a part of. This is obviously not true. But, when you think about it, it sort of is. Shane has a little over a million subscribers, which is absolutely fantastic in YouTube terms. But it's very likely that over ten times that amount of people watched the Teen Choice Awards. So, to not even mention the category at all makes me feel like it didn't even matter in the first place.

I'm being a little too dramatic.

Something that I'm still trying to get the hang of

Like many other people, I was very excited when Dan 3.0 was announced. I rolled my eyes at the commenters that said bad things about it - that it really was just Dan being lazy, and that it isn't any different than any other video project where someone vlogs every day or asks for ideas from their subscribers. I knew that it would be different. This was Dan 3.0.

But now I'm not so sure. I mean, yeah, everything's going pretty well, and we're only a week into it, but I'm starting to feel a little bummed. I guess I sort of expected this revolutionary new thing to happen immediately, even though logically I know it isn't possible for it to become amazing really fast.

Gah. I'll see what I think about it later on. Though I am really looking forward to seeing Dan go to Missoula and record a song with Hank!

Something that shows just how strange I am

I tweeted earlier that I think I'm ambidextrous. It's really just something that I realized. As someone who is right handed, it would make sense that the hand I use for my trackpad would be my right hand. But no. I use my left hand. But, at school when I'm on a computer and using a mouse, I'm totally fine with my right hand. I tried it out, and it's totally normal for me to use either.

I think it's really cool that I can do that. :)
