YouTube and Me.


One of my hobbies is watching YouTube, I love it there is so much good content out there and the personalities are the best.
I am subscribed to a lot of the YouTubers as well, I love seeing the recent happenings out there.
To me these Tubers are celebrates but unlike the big stars of TV, Movie and Music these guys tend to respond to there fans more. And us fans, we love it; it gives us that warm feeling because that someone you watch on YouTube along with 100s of 1000s of other people took the time to acknowledge you or me. When you leave a comment on a YouTubers video and they respond to it or acknowledge it your like “wow, awesome, out of all them people they noticed me.”  It’s the same with Tweeting them, I have had a long line of Tweeting with @MattEatsMochi, I have had @TobyTurner retweet me and respond to a Tweet, and just recently I had a response from @DavidsFitness. When you get that sort of thing you just feel good, that person noticed you, or me, that’s something to be proud of. Is it really that relevant to the YouTuber? Unlikely, chances are they just responded because they liked the comment or Tweet, I doubt they would even remember your name but it is still special to us.

So a quick thank you to @TobyTurner, @MattEatsMochi and @DavidsFitness for responding to me.

If your not a YouTube watcher but been interested in the sort of stuff that comes out of it let me list you my Favourite channels/YouTubers that you should watch.
Phil DeFranco



RoyStClaire (AKA MattEatsMochi)




MysteryGuitarMan








So that’s a lot of channels to keep you entertained, something else I like about YouTube is most of the YouTubers are all connected, Phil DeFranco has his own office and has made making YouTube videos a business, he works with MattEatsMochi, DavidFittness, TonyV at Black Box TV and he created Like Totally Awesome and Cute Win Fail.

Toby Turner and iJustine
Toby is always about with other YouTubers, he does Cute Win Fail and knows Phil and is usually hanging around with iJustine, (we all think the two are dating but they still haven’t responded to that so we guess that they are keeping it secrete).

Freddie sometimes works with the guys at Corridor Digital and others.
And there is always crossovers happening across all channels.

It’s like an entire community and they all know each other and it’s just great to see. The vlogs that a lot of the Tubers do are like a reality shows, but a good reality show, not that crap we get on TV and it is fun to watch.

Anyway I think that’s enough blabbing for one day, check out the channels and I will catch you all later!

Matty.D Signing off.

Getting Fit!


So this Blog will be my personal Blog, here I will just speak about what’s going on with me and stuff like that.

So recently I found out I have had a viral infection in my Muscles, been having pains in my body and the worrying place I have been having pains is in my chest. If you know me well you know I get paranoid about stuff like this, I jump to the worst and end up very worried, after seeing the doctor that worry has fallen. He told me about my infection and to exercise more. So using videos from youtube from someone known as “Trainer David” who works with youtuber Phil DeFranco I hope to get fit. Did my first work out today and boy am I pooped! Very unfit indeed, but if I keep it up I hope to get in better shape and be able to handle my nerve problems in my back. I have also decided to start taking walks. Yesterday afternoon/evening I took a walk into Aston then out back into Stevenage and home again, was a lovely evening and made me feel better about things.

The thing that is currently on my mind is the fact that I have to have a blood test in a couple weeks time to make sure that it is just a simple infection and nothing more serious. I have a phobia of needles; I get it from my dad who has to lie down to have a blood test. This will be my first blood test and I am not looking forward to it at all. Blood is meant to stay in the body and needles are meant to stay out! Don’t worry though I will suck it up and take it as much as man as I can, although inside I will be a scared boy. I like to stay connected to my inner child but this is a time when I wish I could let go of that childhood fear.

I got The Social Network through the post today by LoveFilm so I will be watching that sometime in the week, so will let you know what I think about that, and I am looking forward to seeing Scream 4 with some friends hopefully next week.

Anyway haven’t got much else to say so for now this Matty.D signing off :)
