“Theres a UK elitist group of nazi dictators planning the destruction of youtube!!!”

January 22, 2009

Ok so this is a blog i’ve been hovering over the idea of doing. Was never sure whether i should or shouldn’t, but then i decided. Its my blog. It  reflects my views and thoughts. I can do whatever i want. So YEAH. As the Aldridge would say.

Over the past month there has been more and more talk of a “UK Elitist Group” of people who don’t communicate with the rest of the uk, block everyone out and look down on everyone. Although this is often said. There is no direct proof, and pretty much all accusations made can be put out by someone using a bit of sense and logic. Normally i try to ignore it, but i get the occasional message from someone accusing me and others of being in this group and like it, or i am shown tweets, blogs, and chat transcripts where people generally bitch about the whole idea…

What annoys me the most about this however is people who say it tend to do it behind backs and in private building up collective views, but never having the balls to admit that they feel that way or that they are the ones going around to people telling them that they are just part of groups because they “suck up to people” or are “Used for dirty work”.

Think for a moment. How insulted would you be if someone accused you or told you, you were only friends with someone due to use or your own sucking up? I’d be quite offended and take it personally. As i think a lot of people have. Its not a nice accusation to make. From what i see people AREN’T used, and they DON’T suck up. Its like people are now being attacked just because they are friends with people, and just for having friends. What are they meant to do? Run off and hang around with everyone with equal sub numbers? Just drop off completely? NO

There is no divide of any sorts, and when people label people now as “oh they’re lower subbed but only in their group because…”  it just creates an un-necessary onlook / view on things. One of which as i said is unfair on the people its placed upon.  What your comparing us to what is often stereotyped as being an American Highschools social layout with different cliques of which you can only hang around with people from your own group…
Is that honestly your view on youtube and the UK community?

People often claim that we have smaller private gatherings and shut out the wider community in doing so. Daves new years party for example got a lot of hell in its run up and following it, so i will use that as an example, as generally it matches most things.

Dave invited his friends to new years. As you would invite perhaps your college friends to a college party. Equally as its smaller and between a group of friends it isnt so much a “youtube” private meet up. It is a meet up and gathering of close friends who met through youtube. Alot of us have known each other over a year now, and over that time we have all managed to get on closer and as  a result you see these things happening. Yet people bitch and moan and say its unfair they aren’t allowed or that these things are closed off. Why should Dave have invited people he didnt know at all / too well to his house? He shouldnt have.
At college / school people have parties alot. Are you all so socially out of it that you aren’t used to them?  Parties at my college happen frequently. I’d say i attend about 2/6 of them, maybe 3/4 if i only include ones by people i know. The ones i don’t get invited to though. Do i moan about them? Do i claim those friends or people think they are better than me? Do i accuse them of being closed off and cutting people out? NO. No i don’t. Its a common thing all over generally. You cant be friends with everyone, and equally its not possible to continue to accommodate for more and more people when you do things.
Houses have sizes to them. Sizes of which bring a maximum capacity. Why would someone in Scotland or Derby invite stupid amounts of people including ones they dont know as well just to find they don’t have enough room for everyone. People would be generally fucked to then find they have no real place to sleep.  This creates a contrast with college parties for example. People often go home late at night from them and you arent left with the full party overnight. Whereas youtube – Everyone is based all over the UK, so it isnt always possible to do that.

People then try to hit on the gatherings and say that people go off in their own groups at gatherings. I would love to know of someone who has directly gone “NO FUCK OFF” at a gathering to someone or generally shunned them off because of their unknown-ness to them. When i see that i will then believe these points, because all i’ve really ever seen are people trying to talk to others and meet new people, and people NOT shunning people who come up to them away, but talking to them. At the past few gatherings ive been to i’ve had lovely conversations with people id never known  before, i wasn’t like ” No… i need to go off with my friends… see we all have this.. group and your not good enough!”
Another thing people don’t seem to always click is that talking at gatherings isnt easy for everyone, especially not with people they dont know so well or such. With me i am a shy person. I struggle at times to approach and randomly talk to people at the gatherings, and find myself in more of a comfort zone with someone i know, even if it means dragging them around as i talk to people. ITs just a case of personal attributes. I have no doubt im not the only one that can be shy. Its general human nature to not always be ready to just jump at someone like “HIII IM TOM!!” and expect to kick off from there.
I also find that whilst people accuse us of having a big group thats closed off at gatherings.. you see other people who make the accusations have their own little closed off groups at the gatherings which i personally find hard to approach for that reason.

What annoys me the most however is when dicks go on about this all and make accusations when they have no personal experience to found it on. When they have never attended a gathering for themselves.  Even more so when people arent shunned out because of these reasons but because they have been mean and harsh on a big scale, or create fake drama through various things such as videos, “leaving”, or twittering excessively about how they are in the wrong.  They twist this to make it seem as if its the community being elitist.
Im going to stop there. Writing that much seems to have made me feel a bit better. Getting stuff out is good.

What the hell….

January 20, 2009

So im browsing youtube today and i goto burnzy121. I realise Katrina is showing first on the subscribers so goto her channel.

I then see this at the top of the page:

picture-3

At first i thought …hmm… maybe its a banner and her trying to be funny. But then i went to her other channel wallofweird and it was the same….
Went looking for other channels like it but didnt find any with it… (got bored after 7 channels or so)

I now find myself wondering why the hell youtube do this and what it gains for them, like before there weren’t these restrictions fiully… or at least i didnt think there were.  Especially not on channels oO

I am now 18. So it wouldnt be restricting this because of age.

FUCK OFF YOUTUBE

January 16, 2009

Why do youtube always seem to upload when i upload videos =/  
Today after my upload it kept crashing, and then sub boxes apparently stopped showing videos for some people again…. From what i see all theyve done is made the channel text match with the top bar, and made an embed channel option…. IN the course of doing this.. i feel it was pointless uploading, was aiming for a different vlog style & wanted youtube layout feedback =(

and the embed channel doesnt even work on wordpres….

What the FUCK!

January 15, 2009

Today i left college and walked out of the back road. As i walked i saw a man following a girl. She got in a car as i was passing the other side of the road. The man continues. 5 minutes later i become aware that he is now behind me and has been following me down one road which is commonly used, and a second road that is not so often used … only really by students.
I now start to panic and use twitter to keep my mind off of the idea that im being followed.
I crossed a road a few minutes later, and literally ran in front of a car hoping id get away through traffic. The man eventually started running up the field behind me. I became aware of this after a short glance back. Fortunately i could see my cars red-ness across the field, so i decided to walk thinking the man would slow down.

He didnt slow down.  I had this scruffy looking middle aged man chasing me, and i didnt know why. I panicked and ran. As i approached what i thoguht was my car i realised it was another red polo and remembered id had to park further down because of lack of parking. So i carried on running until  i reached little red. By the time i had the key in the door and opened it and got in my heart was pounding and i looked in the mirror and saw nothing. I looked in the side window and this man was there just staring.  It seriously scared me. I reversed down the whole road and out because i was afraid to turn, and as i did. The man ran back across the field and towards the road i was heading onto, and there was traffic. So i found myself driving on the pavement for a length of road, hopping on a mini roundabout and driving away. I got home. Rang college and rang the police. The police owman said itd been the 3rd report of him today, and college sent out someone to check it out.

and… now i have a text from dave asking if im alive

Rawr i’m a blog. Lulz

January 14, 2009

January has been quite a slow month for me… i cant believe that just a week ago yesterday i was 18….

Dave often says that the things that happen to me are extraordinary/ to follow me a day would probably result in crazy things. I rarely believe this, as its normal to me.. but yesterday. I log in skype and get rang by someone called Selina Gomez. I answer being the skype noob i am. Then theres a cam request. Agaqin i answer being the fool i am. This woman is there dressed, quite young looking.. and then she strips oO – So i screenshotted her boobies to show people who are like “haha … yeah right”

It was weird.

My past few weeks have been boring pretty much.. everyone down here is focused on revision – myself included.. and i feel like im trapped in the net of it all =/ Fortunately its all going to be over by the end of January =) February is looking like an epic month… Scotland, Then stuff down here, then whatever else because i intend to fill the month fully…
The weekend as already posted yesterday, i went to Ireland. It was amazing =) Though i found myself tired and ill the following days back home XD Hopefully the stuff we did there will go up in the next few weeks ^^
My car is apparently not as broke as i thought and they fixed it after recognising they messed about with something they shouldnt have.. now i have to let a new lot of oil set in =/ So a few more days of chugging and jumping i guess X D

Yesterday i looked at the comments on my birthday collab and saw James say Beth had ignored his clip.. so replied calling her a bitch XD Then i saw a comment from Anna saying about how she didnt get a collab… WHAT THE FUCK. Seriously. Thats one i edited for Mhazz so Anna wouldnt see it, and Mhazz apparently showed her in Glasgow…. ojefrtojberegrw

On the subject of my collab. I liked it, the clips amused me and imparticularly i liked how Pj John Dale and others went with a superhero theme and recognised Beths theme had bugger all to do with me. I was a bit dissapointed that some people im good friends with online told me they had asked about it ands been told that it didnt exist, or they hadnt been asked at all. I also find myself still annoyed with Beth – Something which has lasted days now, longer than normal, with her ideas of putting something up late.. A day, maybe, but 3 days after my birthday just took the piss. Doug being Doug took it upon himself to say multiple times “unlucky no collab” which was something at first i wasnt fussed about, but as a result of him saying it it got to me. As Beth happened to also text me that day she basically knew i was getting bugged / wound up by it and let it continue. The days after she continued to bring it up.  This is one reason im annoyed, because she drove at it as if she wanted me to get upset / offended to point of which when it went up i found myself grateful to everyone but bitter and angry towards her for doing that, as in my mind its not something a friend does to another. The other reason the choice of theme pissed me off was that she told me to do it with Pjs collab when she messed me abou with her clips. I said no – its offensive, i wouldnt like it done to myself so why to him. Then when she did that, it kinda just threw what id actually let her know in the past i would hate, back at me in attack mode.

-Breathes-

Some people think i dislike them. Most of the people who think this just sit thinking i dont like them and never ask, they just go all weird. I dont hate many people, and i think as i have found with some people, ts just the way i dont talk frequently with some people and they instantly assume things. If i hate someoen i will generally tell them, or make them leave me alone / block them.

Just checked twitter… apparently Americans can sacrifice friends for Burger king burgers?

CANNIBALS.

Need to think of a positive to bring this blog back up….
Ok

Right

So you know your cat?
I hit it with a hairbrush and its in china. They eat dogs though so the cats safe until it gets deported by immigration

I can haz chicken suit?

January 13, 2009

So this weekend i went to Ireland. It was amazing!!! On saturday i spent ages at the airport due to delayed flights, and almost – ALMOST – had my camera confiscated by aiport security for “Excessive filming” in the duty free. According to them i must have covered every corner of it. In the end we reached an agreement, which was bad for me in the sense that i lost a lipsync i’d worked on -.-

I get into Ireland, and goto the town. Stephen meets me. But he comes up behind me and just stands there. I jumped and screamed. Then we went to Subway, and met everyone else there (Todd, Johnny and Dave). We then went to a pub. Dave and Johnny bought more 6 Euro pints of beer, and we eventually went to the hostel.

On the way to the hostel a nice irish guy told us to buy dutch gold and bought it himself. He told us it was irish drink…. Me Dave and Johnny being thick… bought 12 cans of it without realising it said DUTCH gold. It tasted poo, and Stephen told us its what chavs drink -.-

We went to the hostel basement and hung out, then this Spanish hostel worker came and was like “WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE?! YOU CANT BE HERE” But he let us stay anyway. Its here that Stephen got drunk, and we realised Ian was at the airport and we couldn’t contact him. Both me and Johnny tried but his lack of credit didn’t favor us….

Eventually he got on twitter and i gave him directions to Ireland, where me Stephen and Dave went out to meet him. The next half an hour was spent outside wondering if he got a bus, and with Stephen shouting down payphones “IAN IS THAT YOU?!?!” So i gave up on life. Walked into burger king. Sat down, and played monopoly on my phone.  Stephen walks out and runs down an alley way. He comes back. Ian comes out of nowhere. Im happy.

We went back to the hostel, and continued to do stuff, made food and shiz. I found the hostels food storage for theirbreakfast and opened a bag of rice krispies and opened them. We then tried to goto bed but Stephen rang someone called Sarah. Ian threw a show at him and took his tooth out, and stephen rolled around screaming “SARAH!!! MY TOOTH!! MY TOOTH!!!” it was lulz.

Next day we had a gathering. Met irish people. Met Stephens tv man. Met Stephens parents. Stephens parents were lovely =) They made us food, and we’re just generally uber nice XD
We brainstormed some things and then went to sleep.

Next day involved me asking for a superman suit, finding the suit was too small so making Ian wear it. Wearing a chicken suit instead. Playing air tennis with Dave. Matrix Style. Greenscreening castle08 no 1 hater, and being put down in the chicken suit…. was all fun XD

We then came home. Little Red hated on me and made me shout at it, and today im ILL, but presently sorting out flights to a certain place.
