The 19th Blog's first post!
We're up and running people! Nothing can stop our long road to world domination now, and if we get bored of world domination well the least we can settle for is the domination of the next ten minutes of your lives as you read this.
So as I write this, the first video of my Youtube channel: The19thShow, should be posting, and I'm sure will be to the critical acclaim of both my peers and the wider public. If not? Well then it was a nice ride. In all seriousness I enjoy this, so even if I get slated for creating what is generally half arsed shite, I will carry on in this self-indulgent fantasy of mine that people actually listen to and respect my opinion. So there.
Now then, who are you mysterious blogger?
I am me, why, who are you? If you must know my name is Zak. I am writing under the guise of The 19th Blog for various reasons which shall be explored in a further video and blog post, but for now all you need to know is that I thought it sounded kinda cool. So yes, I am Zak, I am a student in my second year of University and am studying Sociology and Social Policy. When not sociologing I enjoy various bits and pieces of media type things hence this new blog and Youtube channel. I want to write and do videos about these things because I enjoy talking about them, God knows my friends hear enough of it so now I have stumbled across a platform to spew my views across the world.
So what can we expect from you as a blogger and Youtuber?
Well I'm glad you asked! I will be doing various series, not all of which have been decided upon yet. But in general I will be doing features on the following: videogames, books, music, film and TV. Some things will be more regular than others, obviously it takes longer to watch a film than read a book, but my content will be focused generally on this. Alongside this I will be doing general vlog type entries providing updates on my life, should anyone wish to stalk me, as well as doing general current affair pieces, providing my own insight and opinions on the issues of the day. I do not pretend or claim to be any kind of journalist, specialist or professional in the areas I am discussing and you can probably find more informed pieces elsewhere, but, these will be my honest opinions. If you differ in opinion, please feel free to challenge me, debate with me, honestly these sorts of discussions can only be good for the world, I look forward to your responses.
So why this, why now?
Honestly, I have a lot more time. I have moved back to University and find myself with a lot more time on my hands to write stuff and film videos undisturbed. I've always wanted to do this so now seems like the perfect opportunity. Why this sort of content? I have always enjoyed hearing discussion on this type of stuff anyway, and have found myself either agreeing or disagreeing and having crazed inner monologues about whether I agree or not, so I may as well take my idiotic thoughts to be ridiculed in public! Also over the past year I have been listening to and watching a lot of quality content on these topics, (see the guys at Joypod, Midnight Resistance and Videogamer TV to name but a few, seriously check these guys out, after listening to me of course), and have been inspired to contribute my own thoughts and opinions.
So yeah, that's all I can think of for now, and time is pressing so I'm going to wrap up this initial post. Please send feedback/ death- threats as to anything you'd like to see or be discussed to my Youtube/ Twitter, you've used a computer, you'll be able to find me.
I can't wait for us to take this journey together... Ahem. Yeah.
PEACE!
