END WITH A BANG! And some clarification...

Hey gingers! As I said yesterday, this will be my last "official" post of 2011. And again I will make sure you know, I'm terrible at thought-process. I can't make decisions either. It's a hassle sometimes. I'm going to keep to my word and have this be the last "official" post of the year. But, because I love my adoring fans so much, I have created a "Updates On The Road" Page. That name may change soon, because I don't know if I like it too much. But it will have the word "updates" in it so just look for that. I will be posting on that as much as I can. Don't expect much, it will probably be just a sentence of where I'm at, what I'm doing, or just a thought.

Now some other business now. I said yesterday, and before that, that I'm going to start a couple of different series, if you will. Right now I'm here to clarify and finalize those plans, and some new plans! (I love teasers!)

My first idea for this blog was to do a thing called the SMRT BLOG (this is not a typo). It's going to be every other Tuesday. I feel Tuesday is a good day for it. That's the day I feel the smartest.

But I bet your still asking, what will you put on it? I've always wanted to express my intelligence in a way. I've always wanted to have an intellectual conversation with someone, and now I can! I will put anything on there from political stuff, to science stuff. But what mainly interests me is human phycology. I love thinking about that stuff. It gets me fired up. I understand this kind of stuff tends to get sensitive to religion, heritage, and stuff like that. So that's why I built a schedule for it. I want you to know when it will be, so if your not interested, you don't have to read. It's like pest control for trolls.

I also mentioned yesterday that I want to start a series called "Morally Wrong." This will be the 28th of every month. I only want to do it one day of the month because it is negative. I am a very positive person and I don't want to be negative very often, because I want for everyone to be positive. So you get the 28th. And on years that aren't leap years I will not do a post for February, because I don't want people to be negative on the last day of a month.

Again, you may be wondering, what is it? I want "Morally Wrong" to be a place where I can vent. It will have some kind of topic, usually something that ticked me off, and tell you why I think its bad for your morals. Morally Wrong. Keep in mind that I do want it to be at least a little entertaining and funny, but it really is just me complaining in a sarcastic kind of way. And again, I'm setting a schedule because I am highly disorganized and I'd like to purchase some more Troll ConTroll.

Now the new projects. My good friend Logic Box has asked Daniel's Epic Blogger, AmbyKun, and myself to join in a new collaborative blog! It should be coming out soon, but just to let my adoring gingers know, I will be involved with it. If you want more of ME!

Again I have no thought-process so I have some old news. I have a YouTube channel and I have been posting videos lately. Here's the link:

GingerRebellion

Because I'm getting really busy with all these new projects, I'm going to get on a schedule with those too. I'm going to post a video every Monday and Friday. Remember, because I don't think very well, that could change at any moment. I also have to consult my assistant on the matter. Stay tuned.

Another new project I'm taking on is that in the new year, I will be writing my very own book! I'll reveal concept and stuff closer to its release date, which should be sometime next summer. Just thought I would give you a little insight.

Now the last thing I had to do to get the "business" out of the way was tell you about my goals for the new year. THIS IS NOT A RESOLUTION! RESOLUTIONS ARE FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T GET THINGS DONE WITHOUT INSPIRATION! This is merely just what I want to do for myself in the new year. This blog is intended for me to have as a memory. Almost like a journal. That is shared to the rest of the world. I want to remember my thoughts, and how I felt. I want to remember what I was doing in these prime teenage years. I want to be able to look at this someday, and have everything there. I want to see what I was like. I want to have this to keep forever. So with that, I, Rachael The Ginger will blog every single day of the year 2012. This is a heavy promise, and its going to be hard with school , managing my business, YouTube. But I'm swearing to god if there is one, that I will blog everyday for a year. The big purpose of this will be revealed in my life story. And yes, my life story will be put on the freakin' blog.

Am I good at teasers? I think I am.

Now because I just bored you with a bunch of news here you go

Mindless humor makes everything better right?

Now your laughing at the picture. Now your continuing to read. Now you ask yourself "Why am I reading this again?" and then you look at the title. It says "END WITH A BANG!" WITH CAPS! So what does news have to do with that? It doesn't and I'm sorry. I just had to finalize things before I went on vacation. I had to organize. And now I can look back after my vacation, and be like, "OH, that's what I was going to do!" Let's get to the real blog.

A lot of life is reflection. A reflection on what you've done, what you want to do, and what you will and have to do. I want you all to reflect on what you've done in the year 2011. Look back. See what you can improve next year. Whether its trying a different kind of sandwich, or getting a new job, improve on what you did the year before. Make every year better. Make every count. So apparently, do math? That was a joke. If you didn't catch my drift. 

If you've completed those steps above, find out what you want to end the year with. I always have thought that a strong finish is extremely important. I suggest to end with a BANG. Do something spontaneous. Let your name be known for the year 2011. 

And with my suggestions I guarantee you will have 100% satisfaction with your year. 

Cheesy salesman stuff aside, I want everyone to end their year well. So the question is, what will you do?

Let me know in the comments below! 

I hope you guys have a safe and happy holiday. I wish you all well.

Get Jiggy With It,

Rachael The Ginger

P.S. My head will be a lot clearer after my vacation, so hopefully I'll be able to think better :)

P.P.S. I'm an idiot. I might not be able to blog January 1st. For more info. czech out the new "Stuff I Forget To Say" page. If you don't care and you just want to know my final plan, then stay tuned to the "Updates On The Road" page I have posted. I will be making my final decision there. 

Have a really good non-idiotic holiday. 

Meme's of 2011!

Hello my gingers! As you may know, (or at least I hope you know) 2011 is coming to a close! This year was amazing and I hope 2012 is just as great! As just a quick update before we dive into the memes of 2011, I'd like to inform you all, that you will be graced with my presence one more time this year! I will be posting tomorrow, on Christmas Eve.

And because I can never organize my thoughts, I have one more thing to tell you before we get into the meme-ness of it all. My good friend "Logic Box" who lives down under has his own blog too!

Logic Box's Amazing-ness

This is the link where you can go to his blog! Make sure you czech it out! My main point to this is that he has created a little thing called "Appreciation Week." It ends today so I'm a little late on this but its basically just a shameless promotion, (because you know I love those) and a good cause. Appreciation Week is to appreciate and compliment your friends and family, because one day you could lose them. I think it's a great thing to do, because I think we underestimate how important they are in our lives. Appreciate everyone you meet, and everyone you love because they have all made you the person you are today.

Now with that taken care of, we can get to the MEMES! If you don't no what a meme is, I'm sorry it will take too long just look it up! I'm going to count down my top 5 favorite memes of the year! I'd love to hear your input in the comments!

5) Planking

4) Y U NO!

3) Nyan Cat

2) X all the Y

1) SOCIALLY AWKWARD PENGUIN!

AND MY 2 FAVORITE MEME PICS OF THE YEAR!

And there you go! So that's a thing.

I did make a video on this but I didn't think through the memes I wanted to use so they are different.

Nice thumbnail, right?

I hope you enjoyed this little recap meme thing. Did it make you laugh? Did it make you smile? I think it did a little bit.

Which ones were your favorite? Least favorite? Put your own favorite memes in the comments! I will love to read them! 

Just to wrap things up a little bit, as if I haven't wrapped up enough, I will be posting tomorrow. I don't commit to things very well. Well its more of not thinking things through enough. 

If I do manage to get to a computer in Arizona, I will post updates. Don't expect much though. 

I will be talking about this more tomorrow, but I plan to take on more projects in the new year. Some of them may even include a BRAND SPANKIN' NEW BLOG! (I love teasers!) And I will also like to announce that along with the SMRT BLOGS, I'm going to start (I think, I hope) a series called "Morally Wrong." I do not want to make it as often as the SMRT BLOGS, because it is more negative and I like to be a positive person. OPTIMISM RULES! 

I think those will maybe be a once-a-month type of deal. I'm thinking the 28th of every month. Because its kinda random. And its Quadrant Day. Explanation to come later...

That's all I have to say! I'm sure I've wasted your time enough! 

Happy Meme-ing,

Rachael The Ginger

Santa: Worldwide Creeper

Santa Claus. A name we have known forever. A name we will never forget. Just to start, isn't that creepy? We obsess over this guy for a whole month of the year. But have we really stopped to look at it thoroughly? Let's start at the beginning.

We write a letter to an old man that we barely know, and he has "elves" work on making the stuff we want at his "workshop." Already creepin'. Then we go to the mall. We happen to see him there and we sit on his lap. We sit on an old man in a costumes' lap! And then we tell him what we want.

Then while we are sleeping, this old man breaks into our house, and leaves us the stuff we want under a tree. If your not realizing the creepiness of it yet, then GTFO, CHRISTMAS STYLE!

Let's not forget the wildly famous song. He knows when your sleeping. He knows when your awake. He knows if you've been bad or good. So be good FOR FREAKIN' SAKE!

I found out the truth about Santa when I was 9 years old. Ever since then I have excepted the fact of the creepy. I'm not sure why we are letting this guy be worshipped every year.

If your still not convinced and you believe that Santa is a "jolly soul" I've included some pictures to hopefully make you rethink this.

So that's a thing.

Have a Merry Christmas anyways besides Santa's creepiness,

Rachael The Ginger

P.S. I won't be posting many more blogs in 2011 as I'm going to my hometown for the holiday's. I will post tomorrow, but then the next you'll see of me will be the first Monday of the new year. Thanks for the support!

P.S.S. I want to start a thing where I actually talk about intellectual things. I'll call it the SMRT BLOG and I'm going to do it on Tuesdays. I will put some kind of warning and if you don't want to read it, then don't. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

The Internet: My Life

If you know me, you know that the internet is my life. Ok, maybe you didn't know that. Maybe you don't know me at all. Well let's change that a little bit. Ever since 2009, I have been very internet savvy. You can just put it that way. I'm on Twitter, Facebook, but especially YouTube. My last post was about a viral video! I tend to put the internet first, because that's what I love. It really is a passionate hobby of mine.

YouTube came to me in 2009. I was on www.youtube.com at least 4 times a week. Then as I got older, I started to stray from "fat kid fail" videos, and I became more interested in YouTube Partnership. I realized that there were people out there getting paid to make good, quality videos on the internet. This fascinated me. At first I only found people like shaycarl and Shane Dawson. But then I really started branching out. My subscriptions went from 5-10 of my friends, to over 90. All YouTube Partners. I really liked discovering entertaining people.

I will delve more on my personal, slightly emotional story in later blogs, but for now I'm just going to talk about the community effect YouTube had on me. I found quickly that when you were commenting with other people, those people were just like you. You shared a common interest with them. You liked that video and so did they. I started to feel not alone. It was a community. A community built on the internet. As of now, I am part of many communities such as, CTFxC, the SHAYTARDS, and the Nerdfighter community. If you are completely lost on those names, don't worry. I'll explain soon enough.

I felt with this community, there was power. We could make something trend on Twitter. We could get the video to the front page of YouTube. We had the power to do that because we were all passionate about the community we were apart of. We all wanted something great to come out of it.

I also felt like we were exclusive as a community. I felt that we were all participating in some big, inside joke. We all knew each other. We were all in touch. We could live across the globe from each other. We could speak different languages, but we all were closely intact. Nothing could bring us apart as a group. We were invincible.

YouTube became a safe-haven for me very quickly. I could come there and know I was with people who cared about me. I was apart from the rest of the world except for them. It was comforting to know that. But more of that will come later. Probably near the end of May next year, as I end my 8th grade year.

Now, I don't mean to be all sappy and be like "GROUP HUG!" on my second blog. But I thought I would give you a little insight to the biggest part of my life. Just so when I talk about in the future (which I will, indefinitely) you won't be as confused.

I'm also glad we did this because you were able to read it. I didn't have to explain anything in long detail.   I say that because it is so hard to explain this whole YouTube thing when you happen to mention it. If you are really into YouTube Partnerships and stuff like that, then you know exactly what I'm talking about. How you quickly try to explain how this fat, bearded, man on the internet films everyday of his life and puts it on YouTube. And then you desperately try to explain how you do have a life, it's just that you like watching them everyday. Yeah? Anybody out there knowing what I'm saying?

If you are a hardcore YouTuber, like myself, then you probably know about CosmicPanda. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, again don't worry, that blog will come fairly soon actually. For you who know what I'm talking about, I will be making a blog shortly about my opinions, and a spec guide of CosmicPanda. I will also be wrapping up some of my favorite memes of the year fairly soon, as the year of 2011 is coming to a fast close.

Keep On Gingering,
Rachael The Ginger

Gingers Do Have Souls!

YOU DON'T KNOW ME! That's probably the highlight of the video! Thought a great first post would be the viral video on YouTube. I mean, hey, when the Ginger Rebellion starts, he will be the first guy on the sniper. Let's just put it out there. Gingers do...not have souls. We are evil, cruel, and nobody likes us. I'm just kidding, ok? I don't want that dude to start screaming at me.

Let's just face the facts. YOU DON'T KNOW ME! For the sake of the blog just pretend I have a soul. It will help everything in the future. And don't be a ginger hater because guess what? YOUR NOT GOD! I think when we die, during the apocalypse, God will sit us all down in a circle and tell us the truth about gingers. Like santa. "I think it's time to tell you all the truth. Gingers really DO have souls." *A simultaneous gasp from the world* My friend told me that on his death bed, he's going to start seeing the light and say, "GINGERS DO HAVE SOULS!" I think its just some realization no one is willing to admit yet.

One thing I don't understand is him thinking that "Ginger" is an offensive term. "Ginger" is my second name! One of my friends only calls me ginger. I will admit, when people call me ginger they are usually trying to get my attention, because I have failed to respond when they shout "RACHAEL!" at me like 20 times. But I embrace people calling me ginger! I encourage people to call me ginger. I'm not afraid to admit that it's who I am. GINGER POWER!

I don't like though, that he is bullied. That's taking it to a level that I don't like. When people call me ginger, it's never derogatory. It makes me sad that someone would get bullied for it, because what is really wrong with being a ginger? It puts me at a loss, but South Park really did its job at making bullying problems in this country a little worse. Thanks South Park, you always make everything better.

I would like to call all red-heads. I would like to signal all freckled friends! I want to tell all of you that until the Ginger Rebellion, you must embrace the name, "ginger." You must take it on with full force. You must know that it will be your second name until the day you die. Respect that name. Treat it like your first name. And remember, that no more will the name "ginger' be bad!

With many rants to come,
Rachael the Ginger
