I Blog, So Therefore I Am?

I really took my time to look at my blog and I realize that I don't treat it very well.

It's like a child that I neglect and when it needs food, I feed it every so often.

I have to remember why I started blogging. I actually made a vlog taking about it a little while ago.



I know why I started blogging; I discovered something I was finally good at and I wanted to share it with the world. I was Video Vix[o]n. Things were going well, I was showing off what I have done, cool videos I found, getting a little personal and addressing other issues and topics that are important to me. Sometimes I did fall off, but I always climbed back on. Now, these days, seeing that I gotten more involved with Youtube, I don't know exactly how to incorporate my blog into my "empire." Probably it should become a place where I share everything else beside my video life. Just some more insight into who Video Vix[o]n is and what I think about. Or it could be a written version of my vlogs, which I don't make for video sake; they're really therapeutic. I need to take time to remember why I'm doing this. So this blog of mines is a constant project. I remember when I used to get comments on what I posted, now there's no feedback. I want to go back to when blogging was my outlet. So that's what I will do. It will take some patience to discover why I'm doing this. My motto these days are not to rush something great. So I will respectfully take my time to make my blog what I want it to be again. Progress takes patience.

Speaking of trying to complete projects, check out my latest vlog.

NEW VIDEOS: "How To" Be Racist

Reading the title, you're probably wondering "is Vixon going to teach us raceology?" No, of course not, but I will show you all my latest videos on the Tube.

First off, Howcast, the website you go to find out how to do everything, is looking for their next vlogger host for their channel. It's a part-time job in NYC and all you had to do to apply was to make a video (aka best job application EVER!) So the idea automatically came to me and I produced this video for the running. Now I need all of you, after you watch this video, to go on the Youtube page with the video and hit the "LIKE" button. More likes = more chances of me getting accepted. So help a brotha out, lol.



My latest video I thought up in college. Imagine Facebook, but the premise was based on race. You get Racebook. Extremely racist, over the top and ready to keep people connected. Would you join Racebook? I would, just to see how annoyed I'd get before deactivating my account.



That's all I have for you guys today. Stay tuned and, please, don't be racist. It just doesn't look good on you.

That NEW New "Video"



"Time to take head out of ass..."
-Joshen Reborn

He's always spitting this line to me, and it always sticks for a while, then something happens where I fall off and my head decides to slip right back in my anus gate (wow, that sounded epic, lol). This video comes from my latest vlog channel on Youtube, which you guys can check out. Talking about success, I looked at my vlog thumbnail on my Mac's top sites page and realized I haven't touched that tab in a while. Once again, it's been too long and I think of when other, bloggers that I followed, fell off and I would wonder what happened to them. Now, I see how that feels.

I'm not going to apologize or say "next time... I promise..." because that's all bullshit. My blog should be the center of my empire, one that hasn't been managed well lately.

So, to give you guys something to look at, here my greatest video OF ALL TIME with me as Kanye West, performing a song that I wrote/made/edited myself. Enjoy.



Okay, this is basically my "I'm back" post. I need to start structuring my empire and my enterprises, so I'll see you when I'm awake.

Jeans, Balls and Gold!!!

Hey guys, been a while, blah, blah, blah... let's jump into it.

I'm sitting here with Joshen waiting for the last episode of WLOG in order to find 10,000 buried somewhere in the city.



For those who haven't been aware of this, there is free money buried somewhere in NYC, on some treasure hunt ish, and Video Reborn is trying to be on it and find that gold pronto. It has caused us to be a lil antsy with anticipation, but for now, all we can do is wait.

Yesterday, we continued shooting out viral music video in Manhattan, which is coming along slowly but surely. We found some random Spanish people in the street that helped us with the shooting and if I could remember their names, I would send a huge thanks their way.

As for me, I'm continuing to make my weekly videos, which I'm so proud of. It's crazy how life could just give you all sorts of ideas and scripts for some amazingly hilarious things and this video is no different. My latest video ties in NYC's Fashion week and the ridiculous style that is sagging jeans and makes fun of how people rock it.



It was weird seeing myself with my pants low, but I wanted to get my message across somehow. More creative things to come, as always. Until you read again.

Really Video Vix[o]n? Really?

[<<] REWIND TAPE [<<]

If I were to look at myself into the mirror and ask why I haven't blogged in a while, I would set my side eye on auto.

Let's rewind back to Mid-July. After my last post, I became entwined in my video work and other ventures. Youtube has taken up much of my time, including Video Reborn and life in general. But the beauty of blogging is it's like ridding a bike; if you fall off, you have to get back on and ride.

In Video Reborn news, we've been working on branding our name, so what better way to make that happen then to make some T-Shirts...


We've also started working with another filmmaker, Elroy, on a short film concept that I can't disclose now, but I promise you that it will be amazing...









Recently, Reborn and I were invited to a photo shoot for a comic, Colin Kane, where we were apart of an angry mob. I was told I was particularly angry looking.


While Reborn and I are constantly on the grind for stardom, I have made a couple of more videos, reaching my 10th video on my new Youtube channel, so I wanted to thank all of my subscribers for watching.



You can see the other videos on my tube. There a lot more things for me to do and it's not going to be easy. I'm still jobless and I'm scrambling for work, but I figured as long as keep making videos, I be happy. Unlike other people who talk about riding the bike, I'm just going to climb back on and ride. Show and Prove.

Same Ol' News at 11

Every time I watch the news, there's really nothing new. There's always a killing, shooting, a lot of people dying and then there's the stupid "studies" that talk about obvious things that scientists are now discovering. Then, there's the weather forecasts... why use numbers when you can just say that it's going to be hot or cold? And I'm not a fan of sports either, so it's just blah-blah-blah to me. So how do you condense a 30-minutes broadcast into a small segment that gets to the point? Join Jim Scott and his news team for Same Ol' News...

Testamints: Taste the Salvation!

Here's one of the many commercials that I plan to make about ridiculous, crazy things I might find in my house or think in my head. So, I seen a tin of cross-shaped mints in my house and I automatically thought of the word Testa-mints (well, technically, I didn't come up with it, but it was clever enough). I teamed up with Joshen and made the Orbit-like commercial about the tasty mints that can freshen your breathe and your soul.



TASTE THE SALVATION! LOL

EXTRAS
I've realized that I haven't been blogging as much lately and I plan to change that. I know I shouldn't say it and just do it, but I have to deliver more often. As my friend would say, time to get head out of ass. Stay tuned (if you still are tuned to this channel) and check out my Youtube page and subscribe to see more of what I'm up to.

Hey Kidz, We R Criminals!

Every good hero needs a villian, and who better to challenge Dead-Ass and Paper Bag Man, then their respectful criminals, Random Crime Boss and Plastic Bagger.



Thanks to Joshen for handling the camera. It was my first time "cloning" myself and I liked it. I mean, I think I look good, so why not see double of me? I'm curious to see how what more Joshen and I can do to advance the Dead-Ass/Paper Bag Man storyline (To see more of what Video Reborn has been up to, check out Joshen's post on our work and more work)

EXTRAS
-I would also like to give a shout-out to my Blog TV community. I almost forgot how much I enjoyed talking to random people all over, from the racists to the weird people who have everything random to say. I've always wanted to host a show and that show is my own, so I will treat it as such.

-Shout-out to my new subscribers on Youtube. The more subscribers I make, the more videos I want to make. My mind is spewing with ideas and as long as it can be captured on video, it's definitely uploadable. When it comes to Youtube, I have decided it's not just about getting people to subscribe to my channel, but it's finding people who look at what I do and decide to subscribe because they like what they see. That's called being a Truetuber and I would rather have a lot of Truetubers subscribed to my channel than just Youtubers. Thanks to you all. As usual, stay tuned.

Where Were You Yeezy?



A few weeks ago, Kanye West returned from solitude and dropped a new single, "Power" which is blowing up the airwaves, but nobody seems to wonder what was Kanye up to during his time out the limelight. Well I have an idea of what Mr. West was doing with himself. Do you agree? lol.

Whatchoo talkin' bout Video?



When I heard that Gary Coleman died, I couldn't believe it. From everything that has happened to him, Gary Coleman didn't have the best life in the media limelight, but he was still a television icon, who deserves his respect. This vlog is dedicated to him. A side-eye to the sky goes out to Mr. Coleman. You'll finally find out what Willis was talkin' bout.
