Things to think about and Minor update




Hello,

Everyday this week I've started my day off by watching a documentary on Netflix. It's really a good way to get you thinking. Monday, I watched a documentary about pedophiles, was a bit weird. I learned some interesting things though. There are actually two class of pedophiles. There are those who actually act on the feelings, and then there are those who have the feelings, but won't actually act on them as they know it's wrong. The ones that do act on the feelings pretty much lose control and don't know how to stop. Their brains are wired differently. I just thought it was an eye opener is all.

Anyway on Tuesday, I watched a documentary on real life super heroes. When you think of that, you think of  the crazies. The superheroes interviewed were 100%  dedicated to it. They train hard and actually dress up and help people out. Most of these people had a fucked up experience and want to make the world better. It is quite commendable to be honest. There is a guy in Orlando, that walks around in a silly get up and people think he is nuts. He is a little eccentric is all i'd say. He walks around helping the disabled and elderly cross the street. He gives water and snacks to the homeless. If someone needs help he's there pretty much. I mean his superpower is kindness.

There is a married couple in Portland and they do the same. They make essentials packs and hand them out to those who need it. Mostly all the "superheroes" bring kindness everywhere they go. In New York, there is a four person group that go out together and are in constant communication. They have each others back. They go on patrols every night. There are a lot of these people in society and i'm glad that there are people  like you and I, from all walks of life, being kind humans who would risk their lives for a complete stranger.I find this absolutely extraordinary!

Today, I watched a  documentary on improv everywhere. If you are unfamiliar with the organization, they do things all over New York. Just funny things for the world to see. It was started in 2002 by a man named Charlie Todd and like 6 of his friends. They were the group that started the "no pants subway ride" which has become a worldwide thing. It  has become so popular that it is an annual event now. I know people in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver do this. The funny thing is, they do this in the middle of February. Another thing they started was the freeze in place for a few minutes thing. Which has thousands of videos on YouTube of people doing this all over the world.

They practically started the flash mob craze. They have done hundreds of different activities. They have gotten thousands of people to show up to a destination with little to no details. The cool things is people of all races, classes, and ages come together for a common cause. The cause is to well let go of reality and live in a fantasy world for a bit. It reminds us to be free sometimes. It is a reminder that life doesn't have to be serious 100% of the time. Just be silly and have some fun once in a while. Be crazy! Get out of your comfort zone! Get off that couch and go wild! Like Nike says "Just do it!"

I think I might watch a documentary every morning from now on, until I run out of documentaries! In other news, I will be posting my first YouTube video shortly after I finish this post! I also spent about six hours editing two more videos. The second talking video took about 4 hours or so. Had something like 24 minutes of footage. I ended up getting it down to about 12 minutes. That video is ready to be uploaded but I won't post that until Monday. Joshua will be back on Sunday, so we can do the voice overs for all 3 video game episodes. We will also film another talking video. So you will have a lot of content to view in the next couple of weeks. I hope you guys and gals are excited! If you want to watch the first video, search up JTStudio14 on YouTube and subscribe to the channel, i'd really appreciate the  support! The first video will be up before noon today!

Anyway this is the end to another post. I will be back tomorrow for more! Peace! When in despair, eat a gummy bear!

Quote of the Day

 "The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed." -Ernest Hemingway
