A Follow-Up To Nat's Cyber Bullies Post

I just came to my blog to catch up on everyone's writings today and came across a post from one of my most beloved YouTuber's and Beauty Bloggers, Nat Neagle.  Nat's Cyber Bullies Post blew me away in more ways than one.  To discover that people, last night, were going over to Toni's (tknokitten) BlogTV and signing on, anonymously, just to bash her was baffling!  I agree with Nat when she says, "what is wrong with people?!"  I mean, seriously, I see all these horrible comments and terrible things these people say and I am shocked!  I am sure their mother's, father's, friends, ect, knew what they were doing!  Do these people find what they are writing, doing, saying funny?  Because, I SURE DON'T! 

I, like Nat, consider a great deal of the wonderful people on YouTube, BlogTV, and Bloggers to be my web friends and don't take kindly to the constant bashing these people take!  I, myself, have not been in front of the camera long enough to  feel the wrath of all these little trolls out there, but I have come across a handful of out of place comments on some of my videos.  You know, if I didn't have confidence in myself, or if I didn't think I could take harsh comments, because SOMEONE is always going to say something, I wouldn't be making these videos.  Neither would all of these other people that do it.  You silly trolls don't hurt our feelings, I guess we are all just wondering why the hell you do it?! 

Last night, when I was watching some YouTube, I came across xteener's video she made of a New Year's look.  Some jerk said something about her nostrils being uneven or looking odd, something like that, and that she needed to have that checked out!  What the crap?  Is that REALLY necessary?  I, like a few other of xteeners subs, stood up for her, and commented back to this jerk.  Obviously, there have been no replies from this wad (that doesn't even have a video OR a photo of him/herself up on their page) today when I signed on.  I simply asked the question, "What do you get out of picking on people on the net?"

Oh, if only we could tap into the minds of these people.  My personal thoughts are that they are jealous, bored, and can't get dates, so they spend their time picking on those they want or want to be, but can't have or will never be because of their ridgid outlook on life in general.  I couldn't understand bullies when I was in school, so I don't know why I think I would be able to understand them now.

So, to all you bullies out there that may stumble across this post, BACK OFF!  These women & men, myself included, work VERY hard to produce these videos, blogs, and blogtv spots for the people that truly want to learn and have fun.  We don't do it for you or for those of your kind.  I LOVE making videos and posting here on my blog.  I want to share my knowledge however small with the wonderful people that support me.  I will continue to stand up for those of my web friends as well.  These people are SO wonderful and they DON'T deserve your jerky attitudes!




TO NAT:  Thank you for writing this post.  I hate to see that you were promted however.  I don't feel that this should even have to be discussed!  You are one of the most kind, strong, and phenomenal people I have ever had the pleasure of getting to know!  I have learned and continue to learn from you daily.  I love ya girl!




TO TONI:  I know these jerk off's won't get you down and I personally hate to think that we have to share the air they breathe...maybe that is harsh, but what they do on a daily basis to one person or another, is above and beyond harsh!  You are a wonderful woman and I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and being involved with the projects you put forth for us!  You have been and always will be one of my favorite guru's and I thank you!

Rant, Rant, Rant...BUT It's Still Cool!


What the CRAP!?  I got this new KILLER mini camcorder from my wonderful parents for Christmas...exactly what I wanted...the Sony Webbie HD.  I LOVE this thing!  It is so small, I can throw it in my purse with my camera too!  I do have a few things to rant about, if you didn't pick that up from the title of the post! 

First of all, the zoom is buggin me out a bit.  It works okay and it may just be me trying to get used to the thing, but it takes a minute to autofocus and tends to get a bit blurry if you zoom too close to things.  I had hoped for it to be better than it really is, but I guess for the price, it is okay.  This is just a starter camcorder of sorts.  I have my eye on my "big daddy"  camcorder that I will start saving for and maybe be able to get in a few years!  LOL!

It was pretty easy to figure out for the most part.  I was VERY happy about that.  BUT...and this is a BIG but....I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO UPLOAD THE VIDEOS TO MY COMPUTER TO EDIT!!  UGH....I am SO NOT technologically inclined.  I filmed 5 videos today for YouTube, since I have been slacking something fierce throughout the holidays!  I even filmed the giveaway/contest winner and wanted to edit and upload it tonight for you guys!  Well, I can't get the dang film off the camera! 

There was this silly software CD that came with it, so I went through and installed it and read through the guide.  I followed directions to a T and still, NOTHING!  I am on the verge of throwing my computer out the window...when I thought..."I will vent to my bloggers, get it out, and try again!"  LOL...hope you guys don't mind! 

SO, if any of you guys have this cute little camera and have any tips for uploading and editing using the oh so lame MovieMaker software, let me know!  I WOULD have my Adobe editing software right now if I hadn't had to put my car in the shop on New Years Eve and drop $350 on fixing it!  What the crap??  Well, at least the heat works now and we won't have to rely on blankets to keep us warm on these 16 degree mornings we are having! 

What are some of your technology from Christmas woes??  This has been just ONE of mine!  We won't talk about the MP3 player I got my daughter, the computer games Santa got for her that won't work without online registration (she is six, she doesn't need internet!), or the computer that keeps screwing up "all by itsself" according to my wonderful daughter!  LOL!  Maybe I should think twice about technology for Christmas next year!

Blogger Rant! WTH??

So, I really dig you, Blogspot/Blogger!  But...why the hell are you not working for me lately??  Every time I pull up my site, this gadget or that gadget isn't working.  It isn't me on my YouTube vid bar, my followers aren't displayed loud and proud at the top of my page, my adsense is not there and countless other things are going wrong!  I cannot leave comments on my posts, much less any one else's!  I mean, I would really like to show my love to other people I love to read and tell KoKo, yes, you do deserve it and CMK2 & toshiam...dang, you guys are some of the best commenters in the WORLD!  I really wish the kinks would get worked out around here!  I love how easy this site is, but if it doens't start wokring for me soon, I will have to move and I REALLY don't want to do that after all I have gone through to get this page where I wanted it! 

Well, anyhow...that is my rant.  I am pretty angry about not being able to use this easily, and I am not the only one!  Tell me your rant about blogger/blogspot and what hasn't been working for you here or on other's blogs (or your own of course)!  I am tired of feeling like it is just ME that the site hates!  LOL!

Loves you guys!
