Massive Egg Pun

     So a couple years ago, I wrote this massive thing full of puns about eggs, it goes like this

To all the yolks out there who like egg puns, I'm glad you see the sunny-side-up of things; to everyone else, quit being so hard-boiled. Come out of your shell and crack a few yolks and live a little. Omeletting you lay them on me, so stop being on the side. There's no need to separate the white from the yellow only because of a substance like jello. Wake up when the rooster crows and don't be a chicken, scramble a few words and make puns about eggs.

Gaming Video's

     So originally I didn't think I would ever do this but I decided to start making gaming video's! I'll probably end up making more of them than I do normal video's. But so far I have 3 Pokemon games I am playing through and making video's. Pokemon Fire Red version I am only using water types. Then I started a Pokemon hack game called Ash Gray which is almost exact to the TV show. And I am also doing a Nuzlocke on Emerald version.
     If you don't know what a nuzlocke is, basically you are only allowed to use the first Pokemon you run into on a new route. Also if one of your Pokemon faints it is considered dead and you can't use it ever again.... So far it has been quite interesting but it is exciting.
     Normally I wouldn't be talking about this but the reason why I am is because someone messaged me saying they liked my video's and said they'd mention me on their channel, which is perfect! They have quite a bit more subscribers than me and I put them on my featured channels list, their profile is PokemonTrainerManu and they are another Pokemon fan if you can't tell where they do Pokemon gaming video's.

My Favorite Youtubers

So before I gave reviews of my favorite bands, now I am going to mention my favorite Youtubers.

Laina- also known as Overly Attached Girlfriend. Okay she's not as famous, but her video's make me laugh, and she actually has a nice modest personality out side of her character. She has an off-humor which I can't describe but I do like. A lot of other people might not like it. The thing is I liked her from the first video she posted and its interesting to see how's she progressed. You can tell she didn't really know what to do after her first video went viral but after a while she started to get the hang of it all while keeping the overly attached GF persona in several of her video's. I find her pretty funny in most of her video's.


Zefrank- Probably the oldest youtuber. He posts silly random facts video's of animals and other things. The thing i like most about him is his very distinct voice. The vlogs he has are interesting but a tad creepy as he moves his eyebrows quite aggressively and rarely blinks.








Joey Graceffa- Now most of you are going to find him annoying. He's a very gay acting youtuber who I guess is straight. For some reason I just absolutely love him. He's nothing more than a blogger, however he also has a gaming channel that I love. He was also on Amazing Race recently.








Shane Dawson- Probably the most innapropriate youtuber out there. He dresses up like girls, talks about tampons, and well, the first youtuber I think I really got into watching. So there's a special place in my heart for him... Even though I really am somewhat new to this whole youtube thing. He also has a channel for vlogging and his own podcast called Shane and Friends which I also recommend. You can get it either on SoundCloud or iTunes for free.



PewDiePie- I think I laugh at every video I have seen of his, and a lot of the time I burst out laughing. He has the channel with the most subscribers. He's mainly a gamer in his video's but I think anyone can watch them and still get a good laugh. I think being that he's very jumpy is what makes him so funny. He's also from Poland so expect an accent. I think what I love most is either how you never expect what he's about to say while playing a game or the fact he is so jumpy and it makes me feel better about myself. Also that its very amateur and he has this very sincere thankfulness and humility. His fans are called "Bro's" so when ever I hear someone say that I wonder if they are really a bro or not.



Now I think I am going to try and put a little signature in most of my posts. I always forget about advertising my blog in my blog itself. But subscribing to my blog is much appreciated, so is sharing it, liking entries or using the +1 feature. So here I BEG YOU to do that. And on the side give me that extra ego boost and subscribing to my youtube channel liking Cheifshock on facebook and following me on Twitter. All of that is much appreciated.

Five Favorite Bands



I've been wanting to give a shout out to my favorite bands but for some reason it took me a while to be sure of number 5 when all of a sudden I was like eh why not a singer! In all honesty I don't have many female bands/singers I listen too, so I apologize about that. I tend to like lower female singers with raspy voices like P!nk so if you have any recommendations let me know!

Alex Clare
Alex Clare - No its not a band but I figure singers/bands are basically the same. I just like Alex Clares music, I somehow don't have an album of his but ever since i heard his song "Too Close" on the Internet Explorers Commercial I fell in love with song. Internet Explorers is a horrible web browser but it did get me to love that song. If you haven't heard his other stuff I recommend it. "Hummingbird" is another song I recommend listening too, more of an accoustic song. Though that link isn't the accoustic version of it.
The Magnetic Fields








Magnetic Fields - This band isn't as well known and is totally Indie but I highly recommend them as well. It uses more classical instruments but makes it more upbeat, such as Cello's. They write tons of love songs so if you like that then this band is perfect! Here's their song "I Wish I had an Evil Twin"


Mumford and Sons



Mumford and Sons - Well as you can tell I might be a tad hipster, I mean one of my favorite bands is an Indie band no ones heard of and now Mumford and Sons. If you don't know, Mumford and Sons is an Irish folk rock band... I'd be surprised if you had never heard their music. "Little Lion Man" is fairly famous.



Lead Singer of Awolnation
Awolnation - another band that is fairly famous but maybe you don't know it. They are an electronic alternative band. Their most famous songs are "sail" which gives me the chills when ever I hear it and "Not Your Fault" another thing that absolutely love is their lyrics, so creatively put and full of emotion. Maybe the latter link I mention as much but the rest of their songs make you think.




Switchfoot - Ahh here it is, my favorite band! This Alternative band has a movie coming out about their favorite surfing spots. I can't tell you which one of their songs might be most famous but I think my favorite song by them is either "Restless" or "Let Your Love Be Strong" Their songs are probably the most poetic of the 5 I mentioned and make you think a lot too. Their newest album is my favorite, Vice Versus.

Narrow-Minded Towards Judgemental

     You know, one thing I have noticed is that people over-do the whole "judgmental" thing... I might sound like a hypocrite especially with some of my previous posts, but I feel everyone has the right to be slightly judgmental... And to be judging of someone else's judgement is just as bad. Let me explain...
     It seems every opinion one might have is classified as judgmental. I am not going to lie, there are some life styles I am not going to approve of. If that offends you, I am sorry, but I don't want to live in a world where the bar is incredibly low to the point where if I don't give money to the guy on the street, who probably is using it on drugs, I am a bad person.
     I feel as though people are so afraid of being called "narrow minded" they start to lose there self-respect and approve of things they probably shouldn't. If you talk about doing drugs all the time and are stoned every time I talk to you and its hard to even have a conversation, I have a hard time respecting you. Does that make me judgmental? I feel as though many people would.
     I've met people who at one point were "judgey" and to avoid that LABEL they decided to do stupid things they normally wouldn't just so people wouldn't think they were bigoted. You know who I think get the most judgement? The people who actually try to live healthy and happy. You're 17 and a virgin? OH MY GOSH I CAN'T EVEN TALK TO YOU. YOU PROBABLY THINK I AM HORRIBLE PERSON CAUSE I LOST MINE IN 7th GRADE. That's how a lot of people I know are. Or people who do drugs think because you don't, you're going to be smug by the fact that you don't like snorting things up your nose.
     Now a lot of you reading this might call me ignorant and that no one thinks like this and that I shouldn't be so hard. The thing is, I KNOW SO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE LIKE THIS. Excuse me for having an opinion first off, and secondly, sorry I don't chose to do things that can potentially ruin my life.
     In other sense, yes there are times people are unreasonably judgmental and I do think they should be humbled... But at the same time if you are just as rude to them back, that doesn't make you a better person. it just makes you a d-bag back.

Which video's get the most views?

So as I was making another video, I realized that the video's with the most views are the ones that are sexual in anyway... Maybe I need to add the word BOOBS in more of the titles.
As for me sexual things in titles don't really make me want to click on them. Its typically funnier titles I guess...
This is a short blog update but if people want, what are key words in titles that might get you to click on something?
In the mean time click HERE to go to my channel and watch my latest video where I confuse my sister with an Asian girl. Don't forget to like the video, share it, and subscribe to my channel! That is much appreciated. (That's just my profile pic on youtube)

Sex Icons are Puppets

     So one thing a lot of you might take from reading my blog is I don't have a high opinion on media. People are strongly condemning Robin Thicke and Miley Cyrus... But to be honest I don't think we should be. Before I start, I have done little to know research about what I am about to discuss, I am just going to state what I think is probably the case... And of course media probably tries to cover it up.
     I do not think we should be blaming these celebrities for all these things like "making women objects" I think we should first of blame ourselves for letting this be the norm... But more importantly the producers and managers. These people are just making off money telling them what to do... Miley is simply just a puppet. And being that she makes money this way and is probably signed to a contract, has to act a certain way and do certain things. Its nothing more than to get popularity and money. At least that's what I think. Do you really thing this is their voice? No, go to any live concert with out auto-tune and they will sound bad. They are just good looking people who have the energy and charisma they need for producers to use.
     Now why am I posting this way late? Because I still hear about it even after the whole thing in Syria and what ever else is going on in the world. The whole Syria thing I might not post about as I am really not caught up with it and kind of just find it too depressing... I also find the whole Miley thing depressing but I feel the need to post my opinion about the topic. And I don't find it depressing she turned this way, I am blaming everyone else for letting this happen and giving it attention in media.
     In the end I want to say this... If you don't like the song "Blurred Lines" then stop complaining about it... I mean I don't like the words but its a catchy song. Also give Robin Thicke a break.. I think in an article he even mentioned having nothing to do with the "unrated" version of the music video. I keep hearing people complain about it and I just wish they would stop criticizing him.

JAZZ and Pokemon

     So today I was thinking about the activities I was most involved and passionate about through out my life. I know when I was younger it was soccer but I stopped early and never really liked it. TV was another one of those things... But to be honest I could hardly remember anything I was into until I got my gameboy... However I do remember getting super involved with a game called Shining Force (it was a Sega game I had for my computer) and its a strategy game that's similar to Fire Emblem.
     I did take piano lessons starting in 3rd grade, and actually music is probably the thing I have invested the most time in. I am more of a performer than a listener.
     Well I got my gameboy with my first game, Pokemon Crystal. It was my 10th birthday present. And honestly Pokemon is one of those things I don't think I will ever easily out grow. I still get super excited about it and know lots about it, play with friends, and can tell you more about it than most people (though I do have a few friends who know a lot about it)
     In 6th grade I also remember getting even more involved with Pokemon cause I had friends to play with but 6th grade was also kind of a different year. For starters I started playing trombone. Then I also played basketball, and believe it or not my team one the championships for the community tournament... I remember my 6th grade class had this thing where we would share something cool that happened in our life and everyone was surprised I even played basketball. I also played baseball, which honestly I didn't like much and we also lost every game....
     7th grade I joined a jazz club called Whiskey Hill. This probably is one of the more influential things to my life. Though there were times I absolutely just wanted to throw my Trombone against the wall, I am glad I was in it and also got to have some of the most unique opportunities of a lifetime through it. Playing in Disney Land, during the performance the trombone players even got up and danced to show ourselves having fun. I can honestly say I never get stage fright and am completely comfortable in front of audience whether it be singing, doing comedy, a speech... Well really I just feel confident on a stage.
     I didn't really start anything new until high school... I got more involved with my church my sophomore year and was a camp counselor that Summer. But the next real activity was Racquetball. I was horrible at it but its definitely my favorite sport. I think I lost every game except one when in it in high school. Choir was something else I joined after having been in the musical Chicago... Which was fun but that form of theater isn't for me.
     Now really the main activity is Choir. I am so thankful to have joined my old college choir. I made many friends and was able to keep doing something I am passionate about. Now that I am done, I want to find a new choir to be a part of.
