Hello!
I was just watching a bunch of Youtube videos, when I came across this guy: klaatu42. He dubs animal videos to make them talk.
I'm pretty sure I posted another one of his videos before (one with a dog who wanted bacon)
Here's my favorite so far:
I think that the guinea pig part was absolutely hilarious! XD
I'm a bit busy again this week (sorry guys), so I'm still working. I'll try to post again (hopefully more) next time!
Hi guys.
Psy's Gentleman has been out since Saturday (I think), and I feel like I should join the bandwagon and judge on him... So here we go!
Honestly, the overall feeling I got from this new video was "disappointment". Probably because I felt that Gangnam Style set the bar really high. It was random, catchy, and had good dance moves. Now, it's the most-viewed video on Youtube. So, I feel like Psy must have been under lots of pressure while writing another song that everyone would like.
The song itself is extremely similar to Gangnam Style and even has some references to the music video (like that comedian in the yellow suit in the elevator and all the humping). But, that's not Psy's fault. I bet that all if not most of his songs are very similar to each other. It's his style, just as every other artist, author, writer, poet, etc. have their own style.
However, this doesn't mean that Gentleman was necessarily a "bad song" It's techno, and pop. You can't say that it isn't catchy either. I guess...."okay" would be the word to describe it.
Well, that's my look on his new video.
It's been a while since Spring break, but there was something that I forgot to share with you guys.
(Actually, two things...I mean, people.)
Kalei Gamiao is an amazing musciain. Here's his cover of One Republic's Apologize on the ukelele!!!! XD
Second, Bryson Andres. (And apparently he's been on America's Got Talent as I have just learned)
I love how that guy across the street just starts dancing! XD
So what happened was that I was listening to some original music from some Youtube artists, when I saw an Apologize cover on the side. That was Kalei. At first I expected him to sing, but then after a few seconds, I realized that he wasn't (It was when he started making different beats and melodies using that one machine that I forgot was called :P)
Then, I saw the video for Bryson on the side. I watched through it, and he is just amazing. (By the way, part of Katy Perry's Firework is in it) He also uses that machine-thingy that Kalei used. And, he uses an electric violin, which I have always found pretty cool.
My interest in electric violins and machine-thingies (I guess that's what I'll call it for now) probably started with this video: Jason Yang + Awesome Beatboxer Jake Moulton's "Devil's Canon"
I watched this a few years back after my brother showed it to me. At that time, he also showed me another video that I liked (and will now share):
Clara C's Offbeat!!!
Unfortunately, I didn't watch her other videos.
Now though, I'm more familiar with her because I see her videos a lot because of ISAtv and Youtube in general.
So, to sum it up this is what happened (hope it turns out right): Spring Break: 2 Years Ago Now

Hey guys!
It's been a while and I apologize for that. After my last post, I thought that I would have more free time, but instead I just got more and more work.
Anyways, I just wanted to make at least one post this week, so I'll be posting about the 5 Levels of Otaku-ness!!!!
In case you don't know what an otaku is, an otaku is someone who is obsessed/really likes manga and anime. Actually, that's the definition of an "otaku" here in the USA. In Japan (where the word originates), an otaku is anyone who is obsessed with anything (I think that the word "otaku" literally means"house" because otakus were people/nerds who would stay home all the time)
But, for this post, I'll be writing about the American Otaku because I live in the US and I consider myself as (at least kind of ) an otaku.
Level 1:
The kind of person who only watches anime when he/she coincidentally sees it on TV (like adult swim or something). The same is for manga; a Level 1 Otaku will only read manga when he/she is shown it by friends. They usually only watch/read extremely popular anime/manga. Level 2:
Level 2 Otakus are people who begin to start getting interested in manga/anime and will start to look for anime episodes to watch online or places to read manga. Other than that, they don't really do much anime/manga-related stuff :\ Level 3:
Level 3 Otakus are rather broad. The first part of Level 3 include people who start to watch/read everything that they can find about manga/anime. They might read light novels or play visual novels that the manga/anime originate from (However, they only do this for the animes/manga that they like or have seen, and will spend a reasonable amount of money, if any at all, on anime/manga). At this point, they don't mind English subtitles on anime. The second part of Level 3 include otakus who buy anime/manga merchandise, like pens, posters, or plushies, start to cosplay, and go to anime conventions. They will start to buy lots of manga and anime. Level 4:
I hear that at this point (sorry, I haven't really been here before.... :\ ), otakus become weaboos, meaning that they love Japanese culture until they are annoying. They'll cosplay all the time and go to anime conventions every year. They pretty much act, dress, and talk like "real" Japanese people (which is why it becomes so unbearable to watch them). They spend even more money on anime/manga related stuff. Level 5:
Level 5 is the True Otaku. They're rooms are filled with posters, plushies, figurines, pens; everything and anything anime/manga related! They spend more money on visual novels, Japanese games, light novels, manga, and anime. They often are fans of less-famous anime/manga (that are not the big three, Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece, and also Fairy Tail, which is also pretty popular) and cosplay and go to every anime con they can find. By this point, they just appreciate Japan a lot ^.^
Well, that's my definition of the 5 Levels of Otaku-ness.
And honestly, if I am to rate myself as an otaku....I would probably be around the beginning of Level 3.
Anyways, here are some pictures I found about otakus!
The first one is meant to be funny (I don't mean to offend anyone though) and the second is...more deep?
Enjoy, and bye! :D
