The Big Idea

My (reachable) dream?
I want to start a website with a good idea, and make enough money from it to live.
I just need that idea, that awesome idea that causes people to do constant page requests.
think. think. think.
It'll come to me one day.
Some time; and I'll know. It'll f*cking happen.

Apologies for the bogus blog.
Merry Christmas Eve!

Container Is Everything

Oh shit.
What does the title to this post even mean?

I'm going to be Frank.
Hi, I'm Frank, nice to meet you.
That was a horrible joke.

ANYWAYS.

COKE VS. PEPSI
In the past, I always made an effort to stay out of any conversation comparing Coke and Pepsi.
It's always stupid.
BUT,
I've recently tested both in several ways and have taken a stance.
Coke is better than Pepsi when bottled, but it is worse than Pepsi when canned.
Case closed #InMaxLand

...but what about fountains at resaurants?....

From My Phone

Hello everyone, this is just a test for this mobile blogging thing I'm trying out. Well, it takes a long time to type this stuff... I think I won't do this while I'm at home anymore. Toodles.

One of Those Days

So here I am.
I sit in this horribly uncomfortable chair --purchased from Linens and Things 10 years ago-- and I do nothing but worry about how my life is going to unfold in the oncoming years. It's only been my first semester of college, but not even logic is going to stop my paranoid mind from convincing itself that I'm destined for failure. The conclusion I often come to when in this mood is that none of my talents are applicable to everyday life; with them, I will not be able to support myself. I suppose, it doesn't help that I'm watching The Social Network while composing this blog post. Side note: I just watched the first Sean Parker scene in which he --and I'm paraphrasing-- told Mark that calling his site just "Facebook" would sound a lot cleaner without the "the". This makes me wonder why they didn't do the same thing to "The Social Network," but I digress. One thing I really enjoyed in this first semester in Marshall was my English Composition class. Unlike high school where I did best in Trigonometry, I did way better in this class. Sure I enjoy it, but I worry a little too much about my future,financial well-being to consider putting money into a major like that. So, here I am waiting around Christmas time for the next semester at Marshall to start. During that semester, I will try my luck at computer science. The California club scene from the Social Network is too loud. Well, it's pirated, I don't care. Toodles, everyone. I'm not sure what "everyone" could even mean in a boring blog like this.

Here's a shameless plug for my YouTube channel, in which I put a whole lot more effort into every few days.

Everything Is Terrible

all caps is my worst enemy.

I never thought I would ever end up saying this about Youtube, honestly... but certain channels within are seeming like "main stream". It is strange reading that (YouTube is very well considered the opposite, as far as media goes), but this is a strong gut feeling. Have you ever seen videos by The Station? They basically hire a bunch of people who are already famous on YouTube and form a phalanx of ultra-fame that no one can even stand a chance to. The first I noticed of this new "main stream" was when I further inspected Shane Dawson's style of youtubing. For instance, the thumbnail of every single one of his videos (even his secondary channels) has a very bright (typically yellow) background with a cropped picture of him making a face. By itself, there's nothing really wrong with it, but It's not hard to see that tons and tons of people are adopting this style and wearing it out really bad. I personally didn't like Shane's videos from the beginning, but that's just a preference. In fact, I have a lot of respect for him. If you go to TheStation's channel, every single one of their videos is in ALL CAPS with an EXCLAMAT!ON MARK like it's being yelled or something. It's annoying, and I unsubscribed because of that alone, sadly. Their videos aren't funny anymore anyways. Now, people worry too much about demographics and try to adopt a style of humor that a certain group typically likes so that they can increase their numbers. That leads to money, due to the YouTube partnership program. I'm all for partnership with YouTube though, but sometimes I wonder what it would be like if every one made videos and didn't get paid for it. It wouldn't be about making money. Rather, it would probably be more common for people to make videos just because they like to do it, and that leads to a wider variety. This is because no one has to worry about what everyone likes. Maybe I just need to cool down. Take it easy, everyone. Time to study.

Short Discussion: Programming

I'm a freshman in college with a Chemistry major. My reasoning? I wanted to be a pharmacist for the sole purpose of having a secure job with quite a bit of money attached. In addition, it's not a whole lot of school. Within the past few weeks of all of this schooling, I've really been questioning my choice of major (like all of the articles and professors said would happen). I love computers and developing anything from graphics to whatever else, and I just don't think I could continue with being in any sort of medical field. I hate medicine. I hate the thought of it, I hate that if runs lives, and quite frankly, I don't even really like taking it either. I don't want to go on with my life doing something that I knew that I didn't want to do, but I digress. So, I am currently almost sure that I will change my major to computer science. I often feel pathetic when I download and use tons of amazing programs and and I'm not even able to contribute to the 'community'. I use my computer all of the time, and I've enjoyed learning easy languages such as HTML and CSS. I need to continue all of it, because I genuinely enjoy doing it all. What was I talking about before? I sure do get caught up in thoughts. I'm scatterbrained. I guess that the plan for now is to finish up my credits that I have going on right now, and do what ever the hell I want to do. Who would know that I would eventually make an actual blog post? Anything that I have posted before this doesn't even count.
