Hey Jude,
Ask me why can't buy me love. Because. Want to know a secret? Everybody's got something to hide except me and my monkey. How do you do it? I forgot to remember to forget. I want to tell you. I want to hold your hand. Here there and everywhere. Got to get you into my life. Ask me why. I've got a feeling. You know what to do. You like me too much. You never give me your money. Martha, my child, let it be. Thank you girl, that means a lot. When I get home, you're going to lose that girl. Don't let me down. Goodnight.
Do you get it? It's a moderately logical paragraph composed of 25 Beatles song titles. It took me like seven years.
Love, Travis.

Archaic Questionnaire from 2009
This is a questionnaire I filled out using Facebook Notes (remember those??) way back on May 9, 2009 at around 4:00something AM. I never had a LiveJournal or any of those other popular pre-2007 blogging sites. I only used Facebook Notes. But I figured it’d be fun to archive my old notes in this blogger format and help you guys get a glimpse into who I am/was and the kinds of stuff I used to put on the internet before YouTube.
Unless noted, these notes will be untouched, unedited, and completely copy-paste from the Facebook site. That being said, even I’m confused about some of the things I was typing about, haha. Any questions about anything, just leave a comment!

Just Trollin Along
So, I have been known to troll from time to time.
I even have a few secret YouTube accounts, yes, with videos, that don't have any affiliation with me or the WhatTravisSays name. What started out as a few secret projects have turned into a slew of social media experiments.
To give an example on what I'm finding, it's that people don't exactly know how to take "me".
In some of the channels, I'm myself. I'm talking about random things, and to my knowledge, no one who knows me as "Travis from WhatTravisSays" has seen any of the videos.
On other channels, I'm totally trolling.
For those of you who are new to the internet, the online definition of a troll is, "someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion." Trolling is a game about identity deception, albeit one that is played without the consent of most of the players. Which, in light, is something that I've grown quite fond of.
Now, I don't harass people and I don't deface internet tribute sites, but I do give certain impressions which I find hilarious.
I troll on my Facebook status quite often and I find it pretty funny when people take me seriously.
I made a fake Fizzylimon-esque Twitter account and used it to troll Justin Bieber fans on their horrible use of grammar in their Tweets.
I have a few Tumblr accounts which are very non-Travis and they're starting to gain a bit of attention.
I have a YouTube channel where I'm singing songs in a British accent while in the shower.
I have another channel where all the guy (me) does is beg for subscribers. He uses primarily one-take videos, horrible quality, little lighting, and he sounds really annoying.
It's fun.
I plan to post a troll video or two on my WhatTravisSays channel soon but I will not give any indication on where to find these that I have listed.
Go find them yourself. ;D

The Internet was Invented Today
Twenty years ago to the day, the Internet, as we know it, culminated.
The first web browser, WorldWideWeb, was developed by Tim Berners-Lee, and it was, IMHO, the biggest leap forward in communication and technology this century. And it only happened twenty years ago.
Before 1990, there was no available HTTP or HTML to use and there was no such thing as a Web browser. In 1990, TB-L created the HTTP and HTML needed and the very first WorldWideWeb Web browser, not to mention the first few Web pages which described the project.
It's just odd for me to think about because I'm older than 20, and although I remember the popularity boom of the Internet, I don't remember a time when a computer wasn't a big part of my life. Back in the 90s, I was hooked on my dad's computer games. I often played a Star Trek RPG video game which was loaded from DOS. And even though I was never the biggest Star Trek fan, I spent a lot of time playing it.
Then I remember updating to Windows 95.
Then came dial-up, which, by no stretch of the imagination, was anything to really blog about nowadays.
But then everything exploded in the DotCom Boom of the late 90s.
People were able to create websites with very, very low starting rates and the Internet welcomed a surge of destinations.
So think about that today, as you browse this wonderful WorldWideWeb-based technology. Because without it, we probably wouldn't be as close as we are, even if we are thousands of miles apart.

WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?
So, it's recently come to my attention that I have no idea what this is.
This blog, I mean. Not the internet.
Everyone knows that the internet is a series of tubes.
Duh. #oldjokeisold #hashtaggingblogs
What I mean is that I don't know how you guys come to find this blog because, frankly, I got near 200+ hits on my last blog within the first day of it being posted.
WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE AND HOW ARE YOU FINDING ME?
The internet is a slacker's paradise.
You don't like the video you're watching? Click away.
You don't want to sift through another clip art website from 1996? Click away.
You can go wherever you want whenever you want*.
I have Twitter to thank for a lot of my blog-viewers. My Twitter followers are some of the most awesome people on the internet. And I'm not just saying that because you're reading my blog. I'm saying that partially because you're reading my blog. But that does not account for the hundreds of people visiting my blog-o-sphere so I'm still at a loss.
Blogger lets you put "labels" to your blog which are a version of YouTube's "tags". And even if the tags are what are bringing people to my blog, I'd have to say, I'm surprised.
But thank you. :)
I love being able to have a place where I can put my thoughts down for others to peruse if they so wish and then comment to let me know how they're feeling. Help me help you. Help me figure out what this is. Should I talk about my day and what I did, blabbity blah, or should I use this as a quick 'media discussion' outlet with witty remarks and humorous rants?
I guess it could be both.
I want to hear from you guys. I want to know what you like reading about. This isn't YouTube. It's not me talking at you. This has the ability to become a discussion and I'd love that.
*based on your connection to the internet, the speed of that connection, and if connection is actually made.

I'm a PC
Today, I am installing a program on my computer to use instead of Windows Live Movie Maker.
I know, I know, seeing as how I'm a video blogger, it's all horrible. I understand.
Believe me.
The issue comes with the fact that I don't like Mac computers yet I am incredibly in-tune with the video and audio software (iMovie, FinalCut Pro, Garage Band, etc) The problem is that I don't trust Mac computers.
Yea, I said it.
I don't trust Macs.
Not because I think Macs will steal my identity or that Steve J is out to get me or anything, but because the software/hardware is so tightly packed and contained that if anything were to go wrong, missing file, accidental overwrite, there's nothing to do but a full system format.
That being said, I think most Mac programs are incredibly user-friendly. Now, do I think that the programs are very user-friendly in order to be able to help out the less-than computer savvy people in the world? Partially.
But that's a different blog for a different day.
I'm not out to fuel the Mac-PC war and I honestly don't care what platform use.
All I'm saying, is that I don't want to own a Mac computer, but I do want to use something better than WLMM. That's why, I got my hands on Sony Vegas Pro and so I'll be testing that out later.
The only other hang-up about editing on this computer is that it's a laptop and I don't have a USB mouse so I have to use the touch-pad for exact cuts which don't /exactly/ turn out the way I want. (SEEWHATIDIDTHERE?)
Anywho, the update is done so here I go, testing this out!

NaNoWhatNow?
So this year, like last, I am participating in NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month. The goal of which is to hash out a 50,000 word "novel" in the month of November.
Easier said than done.
Well, actually, scratch that. It doesn't sound easy at all.
That being said, it's not as daunting as it sounds either.
It's a feat that's totally do-able. I am blogging proof that it can be done. I believe I hit 50,133 words when I submitted my work twenty-three minutes before midnight of the last day of November last year. What was funny, well, at the time, scary, was that when I went to submit it, it said there was a time discrepancy and that I wasn't able to submit it or "win" NaNoWriMo because it was December 1st.
Needless to say, I about freaked out in fear.
But it was fixed in time. It seems about half of the people in my part of the country had an issue with submitting it on the last day and all we had to do was change our time zones on our profiles to Cuba's time zone and for some reason it worked.
IDKMYBFFJILL
Ya know, it's odd. I just hashed out 1,500 some words just now for my new NaNoNovel and now I'm typing a blog post, something I haven't done much of these past few months. This is time that I could have spent working on my NaNoNovel, words that could have been counted towards my goal, but instead I'm typing a blog post that doesn't have a time limit, word count, or an immediate reason for being here.
And that's the humor of the situation.
We talk about how scary a goal of 50,000 words in one month is, yet I just typed up about 1,500 in less than two and a half hours and I'm typing a blog post, watched some Doctor Who, and worked an entire shift at the store earlier.
I can make time for this.
But let me tell you, this me being ahead of the curve on the word count thing will NOT last, ha.

Busy, Busy, Busy
BEDA: April 12, 2010
It's weird seeing my videos reach over 1,000 views within a day of posting. I don't think that will ever get old. My How to Pick Up Women parody seemed to be a hit and I need to start getting a few more videos up in the next couple weeks while I still have the campus labs at my disposal.
This coming week I have to do a few video-type things for a different people, some for on my channel and some for on theirs. Also, I've been writing a lot more lately. On the same note, I have some people that I'm waiting for some stuff from. *COUGH*m00balot*COUGH*
You know who you are.
As I tell people on Twitter, be excited.
I love yous guys.
