Viral Videos Part 1

You know the song by Ylvis called “The Fox”? if you don’t you can find it here. Recently, I’ve been trying to make electronic music (yeah, more on that later). I think that making electronic music and making viral videos are actually pretty similar. Both of them are difficult and people think that they’re easy to do. Not really. Viral videos are difficult to make because it is hard to tell what the Youtubers will like and a great idea can very easily not turn out well. Electronic music is hard to make because you need to combine music, effects, beats, and a dash of general randomness. I’ve tried multiple times with horrible results. Wow. I hope I’ll get better at it. If I make anything useful, I’ll post it for you. Now “The Fox” has 24 million views or more, but how did it get so many? That is for another post.

Pieces of Poems… Part 1

I was looking through a drawer when I found a poem from a year or so ago. I wrote it about these birds called black skimmers. These birds fly low over the waves, beaks open, breaking the surface of the water to catch small fish. They are black and white, and look a bit like puffins. Here it is:

 

Though I am no pelican, I am a skimmer

My beak makes the spray, I am part of the glimmer

The life of a sailor is the life for me

My wings in the sky,

My heart in the sea.

 

There it is. Please say what you think.
