I had a good time making this and it made me think pretty deep about everything up until this point.
Thank you for all of your support. It means a lot to us.

I Love Weekend Warriors
About two months ago I became inspired in helping out the little guys of youtube who deserve more attention, but can't get it because of how the cards are stacked against them. What do I mean? Well YouTube tends to help those who make them money. What?! A corporation who wants to make money?! Absurd! lol. Yes in fact those who started out on YouTube many years ago had it the easiest as far as making it and being able to be found on search and now... well... lol Yea it's damn near impossible. So my idea to get those who need noticed... noticed? Stack the cards in our favor by raising the bar of likes on a weekly show I do called Weekend Warriors. Here's an epsiode you all can check out that I'm very proud of:
Why are likes and faves important? Because they rank you up on search. The big YouTubers out there employ dirty tactics by using bots to like their vids on top of the huge subscription base they have. Not us. We are doing this from the grass roots and succeeding. We started out getting 10-20 likes, then 30, and recently when I realized how important fav/liking was I really raised the bar. As of the last show I asked for fifty likes. We got those right away. This show I'm asking for 60 likes! I won't make future shows until that goal is reached. So essentially each show will become more popular because the amount of faves and likes will have a positive impact on search.
It's time we take YouTube back and stop the corruption. The Weekend Warrior army is growing and this has been one of the best experiences of my life. I love helping people and I love the fact that we are all working together as one!
Together to the Top!

Let's Get Real
Let's get real people. I've been on YouTube for awhile now and I truly love creating videos. But, I find it funny that some treat YouTube as this extension of high school. There are so many clicks on here and the association factor has so many levels to it that at times it makes me want to vomit lol. I am at the very least civil to anyone I meet on YouTube barring the schizophrenics and trolls.
However, despite my positive personality and my desire to help others out, I find it amazing that there are these levels of association that I can only parallel with the crap we all had to deal with in high school.
Mentalities I've come across you ask? Here's a few just for starters:
1. I'll talk to you, but not in front of others.
2. I like you today while your popular, tomorrow we'll see.
3. I'll help you, but only "this much" as I don't want to be seen helping you.
4. Your different so you must be uncool.
Oh and my personal favorite is when someone thinks they have you pegged on your personality type without even taking the time to know you simply by watching your videos lol. Frankly it all makes me sick to my stomach even thinking about it. For the most part, I do have to say I've made some amazing friends on here and am very thankful of it.
Yes, I'm older than the avg YouTuber. Yes, I can come off as cocky. Hell, I cuss on some videos and others are clean. I'm unpredictable and for the most part not a cookie cut person. You'll never be able to "expect" something from me because I'm always changing it up. I've shared very personal experiences with those who follow me such as the anniversary of my wife's death and family vlogs. At the same time I go nuts on a series I do called RanTz and I get all crazy on another series I do called Weekend Warriors. My point is... I'll always be me and I won't change me for anybody. I'm as real as they come and to those who haven't taken the time to get that, well as my friend Jocelyn says... "deuces".
