>> EVAN: Greetings! Um, this is Evan. Well, my name is Evan.
And this is my attempt at a VLog...
...which I hope is better than my first attempt at a VLog,
which I made a few minutes ago, which I'm happy to show you here
so you can get an idea of what an abyssmally terrible attempt it was.
[pause]
So, my name's Evan [beeping noise],
and that was my facebook sound,
so I clearly don't know how to record [beeping noise]...
...and there it is again. I clearly don't know how to record [beeping noise]
...and again. I clearly don't know how [beeping noise]
...and again! I just clearly don't know how to record a video.
And that, my friends, was my first attempt.
Normally I would take that as a sign that I should cease all efforts
and invest my time in doing something else.
Laundry sounds like a good idea.
But instead of concerning myself with being fully-clothed tomorrow when I head off to
work,
instead I'm going to spend my time making a video that no one on the internet is going
to bother watching,
especially when they can already watch channels like CommunityChannel and HotforWords.
I'm afraid I'm not as sexy as them, and so no matter what I do you'll default to them
anyway.
But on the off-chance you decided to watch my video instead:
Thanks! I really appreciate it.
I'll be spending the next few months - maybe longer -
chronicling my experience migrating from the deep south in Gainesville, FL
to the snowiest city in the contiguous US: Syracuse, New York.
I'm starting a Ph.D. program this fall, that's in a month,
and I'm going to show you all my terrible, terrible drive up north.
Most of the time when I drive to Miami, which is only five hours away from where I live
right now,
I fall asleep at the wheel, so I'm really excited for this 20-hour drive.
Let's hope you all aren't driving at the same time, 'cause you might just die on the road.
>> [VOICE OF EVAN]: And now, to shift gears.
This is a segment I like to call "FCOD," or "Friend Comment of the Day."
Our first comment comes from a friend who actually just moved in with me temporarily.
She writes: "same my mom is making me clen [sic] things though, shes [sic] relly [sic]
into that"
"we're waiting for the air condition man cuz [sic] it exploded"
One... "clen" and "relly"? Really? Really?
And secondly, I really hope that's the air conditioning that exploded,
and even then I shouldn't be hopeful of that.
Our next comment comes from another friend of mine, who I've known for the last three
years.
He writes on his facebook status:
"blank would like to thank Evan W. blank and blank for shielding me
as I stripped completely naked on St. Augustine beach to change into a pair of speedos."
He's not exaggerating; he was butt-naked.
Our last comment has to be my favorite, and it comes from my best friend.
Wes writes "so where's that video, so I can *** already?"
[pause] Thanks, Wes. Thanks.
So that's all I have for this segment. I wouldn't want to bore you any more than I already have.
While I'd like to pretend I'm like the Little Mermaid here and just don't give a ***,
I'd much rather you rate, comment, and subscribe below.
I'l have a new video up in one to three days. See you then!
