On August 3, 2013, I will be participating in a blog-a-thon where I will be blogging for 24 hours, posting every thiry minutes to raise money to support Reading is Fundamental and their mission to motivate young children to read by working with children, their parents, and community members to make reading a fun and beneficial part of everyday life.
This week I have a video for you that I already shared on my personal Facebook, but it's just to awesome to pass up posting for today. I'm a The Vampire Diaries FANATIC. I mean, I'm one of THOSE people. You think I fan girl hard over books, it's a whole different level for this TV show. Which, by the way, I'm team Damon and if you're team Stephan, you better be really awesome to make up for the awful sissy lala you go to bat for. Anyway, this video showed up on my YouTube suggested video and it's perfect. It's exactly how I watch this show every Friday(we don't have cable to I have to wait until Friday!).
WARNING: This may contain spoilers, so if you get your panties in a bunch about not knowing what happens(this was made during this current season) just don't watch. Or better yet, get caught up and then you can enjoy the silliness!
So tell me, do you guys shout at the TV like this? Here are some of the ones I've totally thought in my head. "Who is this Katherine?" "Crap this town has a fudge load of official gatherings." "Stop friggen whining Jeremy!" "Guys that is not Elena!" "Are you kidding me right now Stephan?" "NEVER LET ME GO NEVER LET ME GO." "JEREMY get to beep back into the motel room!"
Here's a little something I got in the mail this week. Why yes, that is
signed by Ian Somerhalder. And why yes, it does sit on my nightstand
next to my husbands pictures. Can't have too many hot guys on your
nightstand, right? Oh boy!
I missed last week! Eek! Sorry guys! This week I've got a double feature for you, instead. The first video is a gem I found from Jimmy Fallon. Did I mention I love watching his show? No, well I do! I think he's super funny and I love all the random things he gets his guest to agree to. As I mentioned yesterday, February is being dedicated to getting fit again, so here's a little inspiration from Jimmy and LMFAO. If you've ever attended a spin class, you will appreciate this!
This second video combines my love for A Capella groups and pop music, which is great to workout to! Pentatonix is one of my favorite A Capella on YouTube and this song is what made me fall in love with them! They look like they're having so much fun and it's just amazing to watch. Enjoy!
So, I've been throwing this idea around for a week or so, but first, I have to admit a problem to you.
Hi. My name is Sarah and I'm a YouTube addict.
Okay, glad we got that over with. But seriously, I love YouTube. It sucks me in. I go on to watch one video and then I'm lead to another fantastic video, and then another weird video, and then some more and before I know it, I've spent three hours watching YouTube videos. It sucks me in, hence the name of this post.
Now, I can't complain too much because YouTube really is an awesome social media platform. Much like the Indie community in books, there's one with music on YouTube. It's huge and there's so, so, so much talent on there as well. I love covers. My husband is not a fan, but I am. Sometimes, I even love them more than the original songs. I also love string instruments and A Capella singing (even before Pitch Perfect was cool.). I love slam poetry. I love cute proposal videos. I love little kids saying cute things. I love watching home births(I won't subject you all to that, don't worry). I love watching tutorials and daily vlogs. I honestly thing YouTube was made to keep me happy, and this is okay, because we don't have cable. So, content scoping out new and talented Indie artist!
That's why every Sunday I want to do a Sucked me in Sunday. I'll post one(but sometimes maybe two or three) videos I have found for the week that I think are super awesome. You don't have to watch them, but you may miss out on something totally spectacular!
So without further ado, here's this weeks videos!
I have followed Lindsey Stirling for a whole. Like I said, I'm a sucker for string instruments. It's something that just warms my heart when they are played. Missionary work is also something I would love to do but have just never got the opportunity to. I know Lindsey didn't go on a missionary trip, but seeing the joy her music brought to so many people was just as amazing in my mind. So check out her cover of We Found Love. I love that she changed "we found love in an hopeless place" to "we found love in a whole new place." No place is hopeless, because where there's life, there's hope. Enjoy!
If you found any fun videos this week, or want to share your favorites, feel free to share with me!
