Will, no, I can do this, don't...

Day 61

A few posts ago I said I wanted to dive deeper into my favorite channels from YouTube, and I have many.  Channels that cover history, science, movies, music, news, gaming, technology, commentaries, some celebrities and a few YouTube personalities, all in all, 75 channels according to my list of subscriptions.  Some I go over them on a daily basis, some every now and then, and some others that I just follow because I want to support the creators.

That said, I won't be going over the list today, but I will be going over though one of my favorite videos on YouTube ever.  As I said in previous posts, this week has been a bit hectic for me and not feeling a 100% due to many things happening at the moment, yet this one video ALWAYS makes me laugh.  And ever since I saw this video for the first time 12 years ago, I cannot stop remembering it.

I should be a pathology by now, but I wish I could let it go to go to something better, but after watching funny videos, I always go back to one of my all-time favorite ones.  The video is fairly simple, is just this little girl (10 years old) trying to sing "I will always love you" like Whitney Houston but failing miserably at it.  What makes the video so funny for me, is that it starts with this little glass-wearing round-faced little girl just relaxing at home trying to sing the song, and from there everything just goes downhill.

By the 10th second, she removes her glasses in a fit of confidence and excuses herself for failing, which I truly appreciate but what comes next is just pure madness.  She starts to sing again, and every time she fails to hit the right note, she would either scream in a really high pitch or just flat-out curse. 

As the video goes on, she grows more and more frustrated on how miserably she is singing, and her face is just like we say in DR "a poem".  At some point she covers her face as if that would make her sound any better and then she confidently says, "that she can do this" and tries yet again to hit the note but this time around covering the whole camera.  As she uncovers the camera, she confidently starts singing louder but realizes that she will fail again and ends with "oh fuck off".

After this video became viral, I couldn't stop watching it, you would say "oh but you are laughing at a little girl" and that's true but at the same time I was like "nah this is just a video and I'm not commenting and sending her any bad ill".  Anyways, as time went on, I became weirdly intrigue on what happened with her since she disappeared from YouTube shortly after video became viral, and to my surprise I came across an article a few years ago were someone, who I guess is as dumb as me, bumped with her at a party and well, an article was made about it - The ‘psycho girl’ singing Whitney Houston was at a house party in Salford on Friday (thetab.com) - 

It happens that her real name is Alisha Barnard from the UK and she is pretty cool about the video even though she confesses it made her uncomfortable at the time since she was just a little girl and would receive (inexplicably) lot of hate for a silly video - she was even featured in Cosmopolitan UK magazine about her ordeal of become viral - Life after being a meme: "I will always love you" girl (cosmopolitan.com) 

As a result of becoming viral, obviously many parody videos were made, and the joke kept on going for a few years after the original video was posted in 2011.

Anyways, the video is below, make sure to watch with headphones on and with volume in maximum level.  I hope it makes you laugh as much as it does to me, it literally puts on a good mood right away

P.S. - Don't hate me - I'm that dumb :P

Day 18 Sitting down on the computer a bit earlier today particularly to prevent rushing into my ideas because it's too late and tiredness.   Every morning when I sat in my car to drive to work, I normally put my office address on the GPS to prevent (or mentally prepare) for any delay along the way and as "music" I tend to either be listening to "Elvis Duran and the Morning Show" or listening to some YouTube video. My radio, for whatever reason, sometimes changes the audio input automatically and starts playing the music I have on the CD player (yes, CD player in 2023) but I could never be happier with the music that starts playing.  I have inserted the album "Minutes to Midnight" by Linkin Park which I honestly think is my all-time favorite band. You see, when I discovered them, it was at the very beginning of career when "One Step Closer" started to creep into MTV and MTV Latino and I instantly fell in love with the song.  In general, I cons...

I'm 37 but I act 22

Day 79 Social media and their stupid quizzes and posts.  Today I went over my memories in Facebook and found one post from March 2009 where a friend of mine shared.  It was a lame quiz and based on the answers you are supposed to put the subject as: I'm (how old you are) but I act (what you got on the test). Below the quiz and my answers as of today: How old do you act? [x] You know how to make a pot of coffee [ ] You keep track of dates using a calendar [x] You own a credit card [x] You know how to change the oil in a car [x] You've done your own laundry [x] You can vote in an election [x] You can cook for yourself [x] You think politics are interesting(George Bush and a shoe!) TOTAL SO FAR: 7 [ ] You show up for school late a lot [x] You always carry a pen/pencil in your bag/purse/pocket [x] You've never gotten a detention [ ] You have forgotten your own birthday [ ] You like to take walks by yourself [x] You know what credibility means, without looking it up [x] You dri...

Remembering this day in particular

Day 2 Today has been just a regular day as any other day with the advantage that it was also a holiday, is always great not to work on a Monday.  By now, the day was going to end, and I almost failed to write a few paragraphs but here I go.  Nothing major to write about and I won't be going through my daily activities for the sake of writing and bore you with many trivial and unimportant things like: "I cook this" "I went to this place" "I hanged out with..." bla bla bla. I think the major event for today is my 15th anniversary of moving to the USA.  I almost forgot about it but Facebook reminded me of past posts and well, it was a nice reminder because it made me think on how much I've accomplished since moving here, from gaining total independence from my parents to creating a life, that, with its ups and downs, is at a point of relative pure joy.  It does, however, makes me think of the things I've left behind and the many sacrifices, worrie...
