You, too, can be on YouTube

Unlike most people, I am not up on using the internet much... only out of necessity. I don't google people for the heck of it or peruse much outside of the news headlines. I hate Facebook but own one mostly for professional contacts and because my 20 year highschool reunion was last year and it made things easier with the organization of it last Fall. I don't care about entertainment gossip and quite frankly, I limit my screen time just to the fact that I hate sitting down (haven't had a desk job in 15 years) and I have chronic dry eye syndrome (thanks to a botched Lasik surgery over 10 years ago) so I hate to sit down and fry my eyes in front of a computer screen. Heck, I don't even make time for this blog and my Flickr photography website nowadays! My 'Gift to Gab' wanes --

Having a 12-year-old in the house, however, has made me mildly aware of what the rest of the world does online. For example, I truly had no idea how huge YouTube is and for so many reasons. I am known to post short videos myself - usually snippets of travel and family and I favor anything less than 30 seconds. Although there are a lot of things I wish that kids and most of us didn't have access to on it, there do exist a few talented and worthwhile postings I have become privy, too.

Getting famous by posting oneself singing on the internet akin to Justin Beiber and others is echoed often-enough to me by my stepdaughter for me to say, "Go for it!" It's just another medium to showcase talent if you have it. Sigh - between Youtube and American Idol kids have it easy nowadays hehehe...

Check out this Broadway southern-belle star who happens to be an awesome comic as well and has several videos of hilarious different characters. My gay stylist friend introduced me to her and now I am passing it on to you to enjoy... one of the funniest things I've seen in years! I still laugh so much every time. Every sentence and delivery of hers is a priceless soundbyte. A lover of big hair, I 'be-weave in her'.. :)
