Blog #12

Our class was assigned to choose a vlog to write about for our descriptive essay. At first I didn’t know what a vlog was till our instructor explained it. To me it is just like blogging except the vlogger talks about themselves through a webcam instead of typing it all down which is probably an easier way to talk about you. The vlog I have chosen to write about is about this 19 year old, Caucasian blonde, hair blue eyed male named Tyler Oakley. I picked this one out because to me it was interesting, not to boring, and pretty funny. However there is a point during the video where he does not know what to talk about so he just starts talking about random things such as buying glasses that make him feel like Kanye West. Then there is the part where Tyler lists his movie collection movies like Mean Girls, Sister Hood of the Traveling pants, and Legally Blonde. In the beginning he talks about how he got started on doing his first vlog. He likes being called the “other Tyler” since there is another famous man named Tyler Oakley who happens to be one of the inspirations on why he got started on vlogging. Another inspiration to him is D cool W just because of watching his vlog seemed real interesting to him. Tyler also talks about his background for example where he works and lives. He lives with his grandparents and works at starbucks from 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. I think that is ridiculous if someone works at that time because I myself am not a morning person and wouldn’t be able to do that. This vlog is a four minute and about thirty seconds long. If anyone wants to watch this vlog the link to it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iu8M6IYQyE. Personally I think it is weird to do a vlog because your giving out information about who you are threw millions of people you don’t even know. Then again that is just my opinion. Dome people like to blog and some people like to vlog but I think vlogging is the new blogging.
