If you want a ROFLOL moment (or two, or three), watch some of the Swedish Chef clips from Muppets:

lol.... ^what's muppets?^
Um.... was that serious? you don't know who the muppets are??? Do the words Jim Henson ring a bell?

Uhh… nope. I guess even tho living in Greece for over half your life has some benefits, it doesn't have a lot. ;P

That's most unfortunate- Muppets are probably the majority of the humor in my life… I think that it would be cool to live in Greece for a while- but not half life :P

The Muppets are a 'team' of puppets developed in the 1950s and were/are a comedy show that used to be a TV variety show that normally 'failed' pretty bad, and now have a TV reality show that makes fun of today's reality shows(although it's not as good as the old one… sadly). They also made several movies. Jim Henson was the guy that created them and did the voice of the main character(among others), Kermit the Frog. He also made Sesame Street. He died from a treatable bacterial infection. (Sorry if this sounds textbooky, I just enjoy the muppets, so I know a decent about them :P)
Hope this makes some since to you XD

I'm assuming this place is supposed to be the place to post Youtube Videos (hopefully not just serious ones, cause this one is quite entertaining.)

Constantine: "Then we'll have all we need to steal the unstealable- the crown jewels of England, which means my name will go down in history as greatest thief of all time—

(I forget his name): You mean our names, right?

Constantine: "Of course. My name first, then spacebar, spacebar, spacebar, your name. "

That's like my favorite line. :P

His name is Dominic Badguy ('It's French, it's pronounced 'Badgee'- it means good man': probably one of my favorite lines :D)

And not to correct you too much, but the actual quote is "my name, space bar,space bar, space bar, your name' (no 'then' :p)

OK. :P my 4 favorites are Swedish chef(my mom thinks I'm crazy when I go around talking like him to her), Animal, Gonzo, and Fozzie(because my jokes always fall flat too LOL). I've actually watched quite a few of the old shows, one of my favorites being the one with Roy Rogers (combining my love of the muppets with my love of old Roy Rogers cowboy movies!)- although I also like the one where everyone turns into chickens- because they ate eggs that had gone bad xD

Huh… I thought there was a "then," but ok. :P

I like that line too. :D

I really like Beaker (and the randomly exploding cupcake). :P

Have you seen Muppets Treasure Island?

This is a interview that was on the Greek news the other day, about Star Wars. The guy, Travis, and his family are missionaries in Athens, we know them pretty well. Lol. He really likes Star Wars, apparently. Lol. It's in Greek, but there are English subtitles on the bottom. Watch and enjoy. :p

This is so amazing. It's a total reminder that no matter the odds, you can do anything you set your mind to. (Why I'm trying to prepare myself for pointe…)

I'm sorry, I just had to share this because it made me laugh so much. This is a video from my sister's college to promote their new music industry degree. It's my sister/ the dean of the music department/ and some other music students singing a mash-up of "Shut Up and Dance" and "Trading My Sorrows". The best part is that the guy wearing the orange shirt on the bottom left is the dean, and it was his idea, and he really gets into it xD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL845ovFgZU Feel free to share it! (If anybody's offended by this in any way, let me know and I'll take it down, but I don't think anyone will be ;)

Mommy's Helper

I'll have to ask Mom if I can see it… I have to ask before I watch any random Youtube video… even if it's Studio C.

I finally started my own YouTube channel and posted my first video!! :D https://youtu.be/gN8iMG7Lm2s

As an amateur 'Tuber myself, YouTube is time-consuming and can burn you out quickly if you're not prepared. If you want to do this, you have to WANT to. It has to be something you love doing. Otherwise, you're not going to put your heart into your videos and people will see that.

Presentation is a large part of how people will think about you and your channel. Banner,profile picture, intro, thumbnails, all of that goes into your personal branding and the way people will think about you and your videos, thus you'll want to look as professional as possible as fast as possible.

As someone who does games on his channel, there is a large margin of difference between my first video and my latest videos. YouTubeing is a process, one that you have to work on daily in order to get better. Personally, I'm a person who will look a lot less favorably on a channel with a crappy banner and lazy thumbnails than I will one with clean, professional-looking banners and thumbnails, regardless if the better-looking one has worse content or not. In this digital age, you want to grab people as fast as possible, and your personal presentation is a HUGE part of that.

Now, I'm watching your first video. Not bad. You're a lot less camera-shy and articulate than I was at first. But in general, when they don't know you, people aren't going to sit through a 13+ minute introductory video. For your intro/channel trailer, you should want to keep it to about 3-4 minutes. Don't delete what you have now, but as you establish yourself you'll want to put together a quick trailer that'll give a newcomer to your channel an idea of what you're about, something that I'm working o for the future of my channel.

I recommend to you YTTalk.com: it's a community full of people from all walks of life who o YouTube, and they'll be more than happy to help you find resources to make your videos better and better. Post a quick intro, look around the various forums, and you'll run into more than one vlogger who'll be willing to give you some tips. I will say that it isn't a Christian site, but they do maintain a polite atmosphere of friendliness, so don't shy away from checking it out.

Speaking of other people, don't make yourself an island. YouTube is all about community, so get out there. Find other small vloggers and talk with them about what they do, how they can improve. Look at other YouTubers, even the popular ones, and take note of what they do. Twitter is a great place to start: you can post updates to your life and work and follow the antics of other like-minded individuals. As for me, when I first started, I reached out and looked for small gamers who were playing the same games I was. 35 subscribers later, I'm putting together a large collaboration vid and I'm working with a friend to make videos together as well.

In short, YouTube is a platform for self-expression. Within that sphere, you want to create your own corner that people can access easily and know what they're getting. You're just starting out, so don't feel too pressured, but do your best to improve with every video. Find out how your camera works, learn to mix audio, learn how to edit video (not with Windows Movie Maker), etc. Do your best to reach farther and farther with each video. You can do it. :)
