Life is Boring

My sister sent me a link to a video by a guy named Brian David Gilbert. He's a guy who does some very interesting things. He's actually super relatable because the concepts that he centers his skits around are not really that funny, but the way he executes them is funny. Like in this video.
It's such a weird freaking video but holy crap. My favorite part is when Brian just does a bunch of double takes, and Patrick does the thing where his shoes jump off screen in opposite directions. That's the best video editing I've seen in months.

He also has a video where he constructs the legend of Zelda timeline, and he ties it all together with the legend of Zelda monopoly. How do you do that? How do you mix all of this together with a monopoly spin-off? He also made a ranking of the top sexiest Castlevania monsters? I understand that one even less than the monopoly one. In the top ten, he has what's called a bitterfly (A skull with butterfly wings) ??????????????????????

Additionally, he read all of the books in Skyrim. All of them. All 820 of them. I know he got his job voluntarily but sometimes I really worry about his well-being. They basically just lock him in a studio for multiple hours until there's content. That is one way to do it I guess.

Then there's Chris Fleming. Their videos are just.....

These are things that if someone just told you about it, they would be really boring. That's the whole point of this type of humor. If you're life is boring you make it interesting. Without some context, the gifs above are really weird and can be hilarious. The new shoes thing is just weird in general. Who would think to figure out what the hottest Castlevania monster is?  That video remains to be the weirdest thing I've ever seen. I'm not going to link to it, but it ends with him throwing himself into the ocean. May I daresay call that a mood Mr. Sir?

College is Dumb

So recently it has come to my attention that college is ridiculous. In this context recently means within the past 3 years. If we go to a normal school for like 12 years before going to college, why do we need to take general classes? Why can't we just have specialized classes for the field we want to pursue? The answer to that is probably the following:
It's really blurry because of reasons. Thanks Lincoln.
Really though. I want to be able to do stuff that I like doing without paying thousands of dollars for it. What the HEHCK. Where else am I going to be able to sing in a large group? How else am I going to be able to scream on multiple different instruments at the same time and afford it? How else am I going to do math with an actual goal in mind? How else am I going to do science without directly needing a license to purchase chemicals? That's crazy.

How in the heck am I supposed to do things that I enjoy doing without going to college? Sure I could apply for positions, or do auditions for things, but that takes a lot of time and energy. If I'm in poverty for the rest of my life I don't want to spend all my time doing things that will be extremely stressful while doing other things like work.

So I have resolved that I'll be a mountain man. I'll live in the Yukon somewhere and nobody will expect anything of me. That's the life.
