Inspiration, And How It Works

Just recently, I have started writing a major story of my life. But the way i started writing it was by first being inspired by various individuals, online and offline. A man by the name of Lamarr Wilson (Wilsontech1 on YouTube) and Casey Payne (Miltownkid on YouTube) inspired me to write this because of the way they like to portray themselves on the internet. Lamarr had a recent interview with a man named Ron Knights on YouTube. And it was a whole hour long interview about how Wilsontech1 became how it is today. He said various things about how he dropped many courses in high school just to pursue a career at Best Buy. And although they didn't accept him for days, he kept on trying and sooner or later they hired him on the spot.

Casey however, just made a YouTube channel just to get his thoughts and opinions out, then he made vlogs (video blogs), which people liked very much and wanted to hear more from him in that way. And that is what inspired me to start YouTube, watching people just say what's on their mind, and trying to have a connection with my audience on another level. Sure it will take a good amount of time, but in the end, it will be worth it.

People who are roll-models or inspire others are what this world is all about. You get inspired to do one thing, and then you do your own and inspire more people. The cycle goes on and on. Even last night, if it wasn't for this girl i was talking to named Sam, I wouldn't have even posted this up. She said that her goals in life were to make a difference in someone's life and be remembered. If it wasn't for the inspiration she gave me, I wouldn't be on this subject today. So I'm giving her a shout out and thanking her for doing that.

All in all, inspirations and helping others by being a good role model or samaritan is what life is about. So my message for today for everyone to hear is that no matter what you do, chances are that you are inspiring someone is some way. You may not think that you're making a difference, but you are. Just because you don't get direct feedback on what you did, it doesn't mean it didn't affect someone's life in some way. So as a closing message, just keep up what you think is right, and then ask yourself, "Is this affecting someone's life in anyway?" And if you can answer that question in a positive way, chances are that you should keep going with it.

So yeah, until next time everyone!

Deuces.

Rants: AutoTune

I’ve Been Slackin, But I’m Back

I know that lately I haven't been posting. But it was mainly because I have been focusing on school work and other important things. But aside from ranting on about why I haven't been posting, I'm going to move on and say what i have been doing lately.

In the past month I have completed some of my goals, long and short term. Here is a checklist of what i completed.

  1. Finished the Date of Birth circuit project.
  2. Applied for a job that I might get
  3. Make videos for YouTube on a regular basis (I made 2, so that's good I think)
  4. Writing daily about ideas for future videos and posts (I have like 5 or so made up)
  5. Eating healthier and doing simple home workouts (I've been doing this thing called Hundred Push-Ups, 2 Hundred Squats, and 2 Hundred Sit-ups)

Now those are the goals that I DID complete, but as for my new goals and old goals for this week. Here they are in no particular order

  1. Raise my grades in school.
  2. Actually know what I am doing in Digital Electronics
  3. Make more videos.
  4. Post on this blog daily instead of weekly
  5. Make video blog post instead of just purely writing
  6. Come up with the blog's official logo
  7. Create a facebook fan page for the blog
  8. Come up with a slogan for the blog
  9. Buy a camcorder
  10. Help others accomplish their dreams

But in order to accomplish goal number 10, I'll need help from other willing individuals. Because if you notice the people that have their huge corporations, they didn't create them alone, they had help. Whether it was just from their friends, their family, or both, they didn't get that big by staying anti-social in their home. They went out and asked for help and input. That's why I teamed up with Miltownkid, and the rest of the Pwning Life crew to help send a message out about setting your life on a bright path in order to achieve your dreams.

Of course there will always be bumps and challenges on that path. But it's our job as human beings, and my duty to help answer any questions and help you beat those challenges in order to achieve a better, brighter, healthier life style.

This ends today's post, if you have any comments, questions or feedback feel free to contact me.

Deuces!

Pwning Others

This week will be a change than the other weeks before. This time, I'm talking about "pwning" others. And what I mean by "pwning" others, I don't mean own or destroy, I mean to help someone else achieve their goals and dreams.

The reason I am covering this topic this week is because I recently talked to this girl, that has been having some issues with others and her own self. She told me that others had been treating her differently because of her looks and weight. Now don't get me wrong, when it comes to weight, it's a huge issue. But in this case, if you look at her, she doesn't look "fat" or "big" in any way. She's even a cheerleader at her school. But yet she still gets treated by people over there.

So in a few recent conversations with her, I asked "what would make make you feel better? She said the same answer that most of us in this situation would say "for them to stop". And I decided to take her another direction. Since most people like that don't just stop bullying, I decided to show her a modified version of Miltownkid's "goals" routine. I said that if you want them to stop treating you this way about your weight, then I'm gonna get you on an exercise plan that I'm sure we all have heard of. I told her to do the the following:
1. Workout every other day.
2. Eat healthier or get fruits like grapes if she feels the need to pig out.
3. Set a start date and weight.
4. Set an end weight and period of time that she wants to achieve this.
5. Take a photo of her current self (As a "What I used to look like)
6. When she reaches halfway through to her target and to her target take another picture.

And the part that motivated me the most to make this post was that last night I talked to her again, she said she had worked out and taken the picture. When she got done, she said she felt great. This shows that if you set your mind to make a change, that you can make yourself a happier person. You just need the boost or help to do it.

So in the next weeks I hope to continue hearing her input as to how she feels day by day. Pwning life is not just about making your life better. It's also about helping others make a change.
So until next time everyone.
