I AM A STUPID STUPIDHEAD
This is ridiculous, I know, but I’m going to confess that I feel a little wounded right now. I posted my second video, as you all know, both here and on YouTube. It’s hard for me to post these videos because they make me feel more vulnerable than hiding behind a blog or column. It brings out all my neuroses about my appearance and eloquence, or lack thereof.
This morning the video was top rated in two categories on YouTube, and I was giddy, practically jumping up and down. Seven people gave it perfect ratings! Literally four minutes later 22 more people had watched it and given it the lowest rating possible, turning my joy into sorrow. That’s how capricious YouTube is; four minutes can change your world.
I guess I have to stop being so sensitive. My subscribers have doubled, and that’s a more permanent record of being liked or not. But most importantly: WHY DO I CARE?
Thanks to my colleague, D-Mac, who really did make me feel better. Dan, you’re the … puppy.

i saw that with the ratings, both before and after! don’t worry, the mean people are a sign that your videos are getting so popular! ah, youtube…
Frankly, I think it’s just another sign that some people have no taste!
Your YouTube vlogs are fantastic. So is your blog.
