Never used blogger. Wonder if I will

Yeah I never really used this before and I wonder if I will. Sometimes it's nice to just jot down your thoughts and such to share. I mean i could always do it on Facebook but then the status would be too long and that would be silly. YouTube videos are a good way to vlog and I do do that. But we shall see :)

aS i SIT HERE ALONE ON THIS SUNDAY, I can not help but to contuie to be scared and full of questions. Is things going to be the way they are? Is it really going to be over?? Everyone tells me, no,, theirs no way. Even my family and my fiends and April. Even the ONE points towards that. Then I stumble across something that goes like this.


"As I lay back and close my eyes, I hear a sudden roar!!!A meteor shower Right before my eyes! Could this be a sign, Proof that love does shine here! Shinnning thorugh the good and the bad. The happy and the sad. I lay back and ask the starts above, Is he the one? I hear another roar,But twice as loud, and a longer shower shines down in front of me, but of the letter U My dreams have finely came true!"

Robbie wrote that.. Its a powerfull part of such sweet things he had made for me

Going for a "Youtube Career"

Tonight I sit here at the radio station I been working at for a while. Now before you run away with thoughts, working in radio does not always mean big money, and that's so true here in such a small area. In fact I am only being paid minimum wage and work an average of 3 hours a day for a total of about 45 to 50 hours in a 2 weeks time. Needless to say that is not much at all. Its been like this for a long time for me and just like always it is not working out at all. I have for sometime now been looking and apply for something else to do to make more money so I can have a comfortable like and be able to pay whats needed and get a few things I like to have. I do not ask much out of life but at this stage in life, but maybe that is my problem. See, I hear stories and see so many people my age having a great time in life and going further with their careers and just all out enjoying life. Meanwhile I find myself really bored, ALOT, wanting to do so much more and experience new things. One thing I would really like to do is to move to a nice new area to get a fresh look on life. I have been in a town of about 5000 all my life and the life I want to have, the career I want go for which is 1, music as a producer or huge audio productions, 2 Radio, 3 video(some things I really enjoy doing) this is not the place for me to get anywhere with that. My job right now is at a local radio station that has been on air for 55 years and caters to the local community and runs on FM as a country music station and AM as Oldies Rock n Roll. The station is doing really well and has put the other local station all but but out of business. The station does so well due to the great efforts of the staff and the fact that they care about what they do. Yes, I am proud to be apart of that for I am the one who brought the new technology to the station through digital recording and pretty much all music and commercials are not on a computer when before we were still using CDs and Tape carts for commercials. Make the station sound so much smoother and very clean on air audio. Through all this effort being an on-air guy and production as well as IT (The guy who maintains the computer infrastructure) I am still paid minimum age. Always have, that has never change. Looking at this as openly as I can, I would say that times are really tight for us, and the station and money needs to stretch or someone may lose their job just to meet payroll and with the uncertain future in taxes and other silly things the government wants to do, business owners must really watch every penny that comes in as well as goes out. I have came to the conclusion that making more money here is not going to happen as in the 5 years I been there, it has never happened but I am thankful I am at least working to pay for what I can, which is my vehicle, phone, some food and gas. After that, it is all gone! I have search everywhere in a reasonable distance for work and no one is hiring, calls back, or they have layed off workers. Not much luck there really. This leaves me with hardy any room for anything else in my life as far as money. After going around doing this search thing for 2 years trying to find something to add to my radio job, I have came to the conclusion that I am just not going to find anything. At this point as I write this blog, 7:41pm on September 10, 2009, here is whats really bothering me. I have moved out of my parents and me and Robbie(You know who he is if you follow me on youtube) have rented a decent apartment in town. Its nice, great parking and an awesome view outback and just all our nice. Before we did this I told Robbie that I am scared to do this as I do not know what I can pay for at the moment with my small job. I forgot to add that I also DJ for weddings and parties and such but that has been so slow that it really does not help. People just are not hiring DJs here. So for a year they we had talked about getting an apartment I told Robbie lets wait till I can make more money, it will be easier for us. After a year it was time to get out of that small 10x10 room we were sharing and he really wanted his own space. I was really concerned about the money part because I knew I could not help out much if at all on things and that bothered me. I went out looking more ofr other work and one time I get a call for a satellite installer tech job. They were very interested in hiring me for my related work and told me to call back on Monday to set up a time to speak to a recruiter. I was like wow!! So Monday rolls around and I call back. The very same woman tells me that "Oh we are not hiring for your area and we never were" WHAT??!!? So there went that! So after 5 months living in apartment I can hardy help out with anything and I have lost about 10 to 12 hours in a pay period. This is really bothering me bad ad causing conflict. Robbie is so strapped and working his ass off to pay for everything. He would like to get a newer car as his 97 has nearly 300k miles on it and is really not trustworthy and because he is paying for everything, he is unable to do this and it is just not fair! I have tried everything to pull in more money for myself. Even with my little DJ gig on the side, I have places Classified ads in numerous news papers*cost alot so I cant hardy do this alot* I have recorded a radio ad and place classified ads on the local access channel with no improvement in phone calls for new gigs. I am really out of options. I even had people tell me go get help with Well fare and food stamps, EVEN my own boss. Im not doing that. At least I am eating and have a roof over my head. I know somehow I have what it takes to make this work. I know what my talents are and I know what I am capable of doing in music and videos and radio. So what do I need to do now? Look to the web. Youtube.com is where it's at for the time being. There is money to be made on youtube and all you need to do is work hard and post great videos. I know how the system works and I know what youtube and looking for in content providers. I'v seen the transformation from Vlogging being the number one thing to do to being down right a waste of time as far as getting anywhere on youtube, of course if that's all you want to do, go for it, nothing wrong with that, as that's what I do alot. But I have seen people go from nothing to greatness on youtube at such a fast rate and I sit back and think, DUDE!? They are doing what you know how to do but you have not done a thing! Why can't I do that? The answer is, I can! It's something I been wanting for some time. Seeing people like WHATTHEBUCK and Shanedawson any others alike climb up like its nothing on the same principles I have learned on youtube really gets me going and always makes me mad because here I sit with the ability to do this and have not. First, it seems to me beside the content that you make, there are other things on youtube and these users the THEY ALL have in common that bugs me. Like, WHY, just WHY do they all have to have longer hair. Yup, I betcha they all mostly live in California. Leads me to feel doomed from the get go because I live in West Virginia and have short hair. I mean who is going to watch that? Right? Back when I started yotube and had these ideas for great videos and never did them, I had only people like sxephil, lisanova, smosh, nalts, fred, kevjumba, and a few other to fight though to get seen, now the wait has added alot more. The longer you wait, the harder its going to get. But SOMEHOW I really want to grow on youtube and be apart of something that is mind blowing in todays times. That is the fact that you can sit at home, make videos and post them online and become mildly famous and make a great living. I want this so bad. I have always been doing similar things online for 10 years in internet radio. I still vlogg on my Seth38101 channel but after nearly 3 years I have not even hit 1000 subs. You know what? That stinks! I want more! And lets face it, as you know from above I have been all over for a job with no luck so why not do what I know I am able to do and combine it all woth my other talents to make great videos. I produce my own music and have great character imagination and I can put all of this to use to make some great videos. I have high hopes for this idea. With the success from youtube I will be able to save back alot of money to move, or to help Robbie out so he can get a better car, and just from the thrill of the youtube community from all the subs will kill the boredom I feel a large part of my day, not to mention I love to travel and would go to gatherings and enjoy it! TO wrap this up, I know I have what it takes and it means alot to me. I will be working realy hard to make this goal happen. Being in broadcast, I have the need in me for that kind of attention and now with all the new benefits, I really want to work for this! Of course non of this will work without you, the subscriber, and all my friends who have been around for this. I am going for this. I just hope with ever being in me I do not fail at this and make it happen. Im not looking to be number one, but at least known and happy with what I am doing. I Will Make It Happen! I Promise! You can check out the Channel I started to put the better videos on and also here is my vlogger channel Enjoy and please subscribe, inly if you like it HAHA!
P.S. I don't know how people can blog for a living, this entry alone is killing my fingers!

New Ideas For youtube

I been doing alot of thinking on what to do for sure with my new youtube channel AndrewHeavener. I have tossed around alot of ideas but only a few remain. The channel will not only have like ONE type of video but a few types like Music Videos, more like the one I have already posted, and maybe even my take on some current news and events seeing how I can get really opionated when it come to some things. We will all have to see what happens. I really want to have a great time with this channel and I really want it to grow like crazy but I know what I have to do. I know what youtube looks for and I really hope I have what it takes to produce these types of videos. If you have not already, he in an early video for you to enjoy.
