I am not quite sure having any aspect of my life broadcasted for the world to see would be beneficial let alone intelligent. Luckily it seems I am a minority in this theory. In the world of fast paced technology living in our 15 minutes of fame is quite simple. At least for those who passed Comp 25 on their first try or second. I do not quite know what I was thinking as I had enough hobbies, but I was mesmerized. I had to turn my phone off to keep my attention on my screen. I gave in to the temptation and 8 hours later, feeling like a heroin addict my eyes started to give out on me. My journey in You Tube has started and there is no better place to start this soul-searching experience than right here at home.
I now feel closer to the celebrities of Pacific thanks to the wonderful world of You Tube. For starters I was quite unaware our dormitories had monkey fetishes until I met the Ritter Monkeys. Great customs guys, I was honestly unaware until a friend told me that they were just being freshmen after physical plant painted their dorm hallways.
I relived three times one of the best thrills I have had ever had in college. Running on the court last year, hugging, yelling and having a reason to act completely drunk with anyone and everyone next to you is priceless. Having a camera capturing the whole thing, being the eye of the storm gives true understating to the greatness of that moment and Pacific basketball. And thanks to You Tube that moment is on the Internet away. Although it is a double edged sword as through the madness you can clearly see me jumping, hugging and high fiving a water polo player and PIKEs who happened to be next to me for a few seconds. (Awkward )
The ninja peoples parody to Mike Jones is hilarious and hilarious is just the start in explaining our lipsinging veterans. There is also valuable lessons taught through you tube. It is more essential helping a friend get up rather than seeing her pee the floor. The Pacific rowing squad shows they’re no joke. And the dancing midget teddy bear running around is a bit scary. Our hip-hop dance team shows hard work and practice does pay off, kinda. There was also a butt shot, talk of silky hair and so much more and that was just typing in University of the Pacific.
There was Roy trying to explain the thizz face. Then there was wrestling, shoe tieing and the famous I can’t get up clip. Xi Chi Sigma added a little culture. Students messing with an R.A, and there was Mitchell on the scooter. I can see with those athletic abilities how our You Tube celebrity earned his intramural championship shirt. Thanks to You Tube our campus is filled with famous faces a computer click away.
Virtually everything is on You Tube. With this comes the danger of reality and a visual glimpse of the real world. There was the disturbing and the sickening but no doubt a lot of entertainment. Yet the dangerous of You Tube will me most felt by our youth. This just gives our youth a glimpse of perversion, dark comedy and subjects for adults only. But that is a small price to pay for entertainment and seeing Pacific students showcase their wonderful talents is worth any morale or ethical backlash.
P.S Academy Award for the Moulin Rouge performance, love the finger to the mouth move.
