So as I've been trying to make decisions and figure out this vlogging thing, I've been stuck between this intense desire to be part of it and do what I can and take advantage of it and all that on the one hand, and the stress of doing it "right" and being a total dork and extremely camera awkward and all that on the other hand.
Then a couple nights ago there was this INCREDIBLE rainstorm and I picked up my little camera and went out and just had fun, and was my dorky awkward self, and it felt so so good. In other words I think I'm going to go with the first hand. More casual, fun, easy, and I feel like I can manage more frequent videos that way. Dear Muse I see as more of a special feature type thing. Anyway, check out the new video and let me know what you think. Besides the fact that I'm pretty much queen of dork.
Everyone who commented last time and said they were too awkward or camera shy or didn't have time or anything like that, if I can do it, so can you. Of course you may simply have no interest in this kind of thing, but if you do have an interest, don't let any of those fears stop you.
And to make up for my awkward amateurishness I'll leave you with an example of what true amazingness can be created through the medium of video:
Enjoy :) Thanks for indulging me on the vlogging thing one more time. I really will back off now, but if you're a video-liking person definitely stop by my channel. Because who wouldn't want to subscribe to that? (Ha ha.)

Hubby's just starting to figure out YouTube for his music. I think it's giving a lot of people a lot of exposure they wouldn't necessarily have.
But as a writer, who uses words, I prefer to see my work written down. Or, it could be that I'm living in the wrong century... still.
I do enjoy videos - I just saw a very cool one by a person with autism who tried to simulate how she viewed the world so others could understand. In that respect, the medium is terrific. But then there are the times that I get sucked into movie trailers and look up to discover an hour of my life has gone by...I suppose I'll have to try setting an alarm!
we have a lot of meaningless family videos on youtube, simply because our camera will not let it upload to facebook first--but love it!

I'm a big YouTube fan. I like watching videos on the site and I have used many of them on my blogs. Especially the ones about music.
Your video had some interesting moments. I can see potential if you keep working with it. Weren't you afraid of messing the camera up in the rain?

I've been to Utah and I've never seen dancing in the street! Although to be honest, it also wasn't the greatest rain storm ever...or any rain at all. Hey, it was a nice, dorky video.
Two words - Weather Girl. You'd give quite a lilt to those boring weather reports.
