My History

I graduated a long time ago with a degree in graphic arts. Let’s say computers were not exactly plentiful. I used pens, pencils, cutting boards, old magazine, paints, colors… I rolled old school to get my degree. With that degree it landed me a few advertisement jobs with local businesses ranging from weekly ads for the penny saver to a few half page ads in the major newspapers.

I moved around a lot to try and make a life and figure out what I wanted to do (beside my girlfriend doggy style). Moved to North Carolina and I ended up doing very little graphic work because I ran two photo labs for Eckerd. With that demanding job, I acquired walking pneumonia, and had to quit. My girl friend at the time decided to lose 60 pounds, get a wild oat up her ass and then proceed to lose another 140lbs. (yeah that would be me) Most likely the best thing she could of done. I left North Carolina shortly after.

Back at home with new ambition, I started building websites, picking back up with my graphics and even opened and ran a photo studio. I partnered with some people and produced an online magazine from 2001-2004. Eventually I was hired at a great company and I was promoted to a managerial level of Marketing. Eventually I met a woman, fell in love, moved. That, did not end well and I ended up moving back to my home town.

Rewinding a little, in 2006 I started to dabble with Youtube, never getting to serious until 2013. That is where some flops happened like Thoraxe (sounds like a cleaner) and other skyrim half-assed videos.

After a while I was hired by a company and now I build high end websites for a living. One day they lost their senior video editor and no one wanted to take their place. Insert me with a smile on ym face and a pep in the step. I shared the duties with a few others until there was only me. The video work has really slowed down but it was fun while it lasted.

I am now streaming on my channel, come visit if you you are bored and want to make fun of a guy who is bad at video games. I stream on the weekends, Saturday & Sunday 11-2.

The Voice

It seems every channel on youtube usually had some kind of schtick to give them an unique appeal to potential visitors. Some were angry, some were over-weight, some were hot chicks that said weird things… Insert the average Joe, with an average voice and no direction in life. I made a bunch of videos with my normal voice, and I just struggled listening to them. I imagine if I struggle with it, mostly everyone else will too.

Early on this journey I was editing a video, and I wanted to speed up the video to get to a certain part of a quest, when I realized… that’s it! The chipmunk voice! A faster voice! After deliberating about it for a while… I came up with the Pros:

1) I don’t like the sound of my voice, normal speed.
2) I can get through quests and such much quicker.
3) Things just sound funnier at a higher speed.
4) I will never get a copyright strike for anything.

I actually started at speeding the game up 150%. I only did that for a short time because it was just to hard (uh heheh) to keep up with if you are watching. For the longest time I have been using 135% speed… but recently I have lowered it even more to 130%.

So it is now my Schtick. I don’t want to be angry, I am not overweight, and the last time I looked hairy bitch tits do not quality as cleavage viewers want to see. Good or bad, it is what I do and will always do.

But times have changed and Youtube is not a great company, shocker I know. I left Youtube for my episodic videos I only stream there now. My episodic videos can be found here: Good ‘ol B!tchute.
