It’s that time of the week again; getting psyched about the weekend.  Well, here is a clip for parents that have just a little trouble getting your baby to stop crying.  Maybe of all the times that you have been RickRolled by your co-workers; you can now use this to your own advantage.  In case you don’t know what being “RickRolled” is, I have placed a link for you to see for yourself.  It’s NOT a trick, I promise!  Anyway, enjoy!

Until next time…

I bumped into this little clip today.  Although I think any DIY (Do-it-yourself) project is great, I just think this is just a little creepy!

Also another clip that @snez pointed me to, thanks for sharing!  If only Friday’s at the office is truly like this!  Enjoy!

Until next time…

To celebrate the end of the college semester, here is a fairly large clip (about 40 minutes length) of an interesting perspective of college… the RPG perspective. If you remember the game “Final Fantasy VII”, this interface may look familiar… Anyway, enjoy!

Until next time…

One of today’s clips will first feature the classic “Life” cereal commercial that I grew up with…

————————————————————————————-

Here is a commercial for the original Nintendo Entertainment System… [P.S. who ever bought the little robot (R.O.B. - Robotic Operating Buddy) that was only made to be used to play like two games?]

————————————————————————————-

Here is one from the many “Time to Make the Donuts” commercials from Dunkin’ Donuts that features Tattoo from “Fantasy Island”. (Who doesn’t remember “Fantasy Island”, and the famous lines, “The plane! The plane!”).

The last clip is from Alka Seltzer that is hilarious…

Last week it was about cats. I was going to use an animal that rhymed with last weeks subject, but opt-ed out. I am trying to get hits here and I don’t think you can win any popularity contests with rats (no offense to rat lovers out there). I thought it would be fair to feature man’s best friend instead. Thanks Steve for finding this clip. Enjoy!

Until next time…

It’s that time of the week again and here are two video’s about cats. Enjoy!

Until next time…

Sorry I haven’t posted anything recently; seem like this has become more of a YouTube blog that a blog based on my life experiences. I will promise to put more of an effort to write.

This weeks video is based on the new Starbuck’s coffee that they released this past Tuesday. I haven’t personally tasted it, I am curious though; I’m not really a big fan of Starbucks. The only thing I usually order is the hot Chai tea, even though it is summer… I get the weird looks here in Tucson in the summer. Anyway, I thought this is cool, I have been hoping for a bitter tasting coffee at Starbucks, I prefer Donkin Donuts or Buggler’s Bagels coffee. Enjoy!

Until next time…

Tonight is the much anticipated Battlestar Galactica season 4, on the Sci-Fi channel. I am very excited, albet any other die hard fan is counting the minutes for it’s airing. Unfortunately, I don’t have cable… so I will have to wait even longer to see it.

Here is a season 4 promo… and a little extra.

Until next time…

Sorry about the lateness of YouTube Friday, I have been fairly busy this week with school. It’s that time of the year again, tax time. Did you file your taxes? I haven’t. That is on the “to do list” this week. I always somehow manage to file in April. Here is a commercial that I stumbled upon, enjoy!

Until next time…

This week will feature not one, but TWO clips because chances are that I won’t be able to put one up next Friday (will be in Colorado). They both feature an exceptionally gifted up-and-coming trumpet player named Ruben Simeo, from Spain.

In this clip, Ruben is playing a cadenza (pretty much an improvised type solo within a concerto or other piece) with a Flugelhorn.

This clip is from a piece that was written for the 2006 Concours de trompette Maurice Andre competition, by Salvador Chulia Hernandez; the piece is the 3rd movement of the Fantasia Concertante. I think this is significant because he is like 16 years old. He was the youngest in the concerto competition.

Anyway, I will be in Bolder, Colorado next week and probably will not post for a week (in accordance to the unwritten rule of no blogging during spring break, just made that up just now). Also my mother and father will be in town tonight for a few days, that is always exciting!

Until next time…
