Does anyone even read these posts?
I know someone has viewed my blog 75 times, but is anyone really even reading what I'm writing. I'm not really concerned, as I have mentioned before, because this is more of a way to get things off my mind and just share what's going on in my life. However, I am interested to know who reads these posts and what they think.
Here's the mission for tonight, if you read this, tell me how you're doing, how your day was, what you're doing, whatever you want to comment, really. Tell me something. Deal?
I hope everyone is having a wonderful night, I shall check back with you all soon. Goodnight.

Just Blowing Smoke in a Glass
For anyone that doesn't know this, I am REALLY into making and sharing YouTube videos. With people like RayWilliamJohnson and FPSRussia on YouTube, it seems like a relatively easy way to make some free money. Let me tell you though, it's not as easy as it looks.
Back in 2004 I created an account and posted a video that got quite a few views. A couple years later, I received an email about a program that pays you to put advertisements on your YouTube videos. I thought, "Well that's awesome, sure why not?" Since then I have become a little more than obsessed with YouTube and now have about 35 videos.
I guess when I found out you could make money from YouTube I jumped at the idea, especially after learning RWJ and FPSRussia make well over six figures a year. I thought it would be great to not have to work a day in the real world. Was I ever wrong.
6 months later I am up to $2.50 revenue from my videos...
Being in my senior year of college in North Dakota, time is running out for a get rich quick scheme or winning the lottery.
I enjoy many different activities and hobbies as I have mentioned previously, but working a job every morning for the rest of my life is not one of those things. I like way to many others things to be stuck in a cubicle forever. However, school may be good for one thing. Today one of my professors told me my assignment for the semester would be to develop a website of something I like and get it up and running. I immediately thought of this blog, YouTube, and every other piece of content I have posted on the internet. I don't know why it never crossed my mind but I never even thought to put all of that content on one page and organize it so it is all sexy and user appealing.
Anyway, I describe myself as an entrepreneur before anything else (mostly because I don't like any of my other college jobs). That is kind of why the title of this post is "Just Blowing Smoke in a Glass", because most of the time I post content on the internet I feel as if no one is looking or listening. Also, for another reason, but I'll get to that in a minute. Consider this post a informal introduction to the future content you will be seeing from me on the internet until I get my site up and running.
As for now, I'm just blowing smoke in a glass. --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFsU3swGg8U
