Happy Birthday, Shane!

Today is Shane Dawson's 30th birthday! He is a YouTuber comedian if you don't know. And he is one of my heroes.

It sounds ridiculous now, as I remember as a 21-year-old, but I was depressed and suicidal when I was in middle school. I was at a new school. I was failing classes for the first time in my life. My new school sucked - all [redacted because I made bad judgments] schools are run by the devil. I wasn't having a good time.

Then I found Shane on YouTube. YouTube was a new concept at the time of my middle school days. While I was young and still somewhat innocent, I loved how inappropriate and funny Shane's videos were. If I was having a horrible day at school, I could go home and watch one of his videos and let me tell you I rewatched his videos HUNDREDS of times because he only posted once a week and I watched him every single day.

This is the video that saved changed my life:

I CAN'T INSERT IT BUT THIS IS THE LINK

I rewatched this video to add it to the post and it made me cry because I remember watching it for the first time and thinking that I mattered to at least one person, if not everyone else.

But anyway, Shane Dawson saved my life and he is one of my all-time heroes and today he turned 30 and I am so proud of how far he's come and I am just going to include some of his more iconic videos - mostly his old music videos. I want to celebrate him and his YouTube career.

I am a stan and I stand behind all his music because I personally enjoy it.

Let us start with the MOST ICONIC: "Superluv" - Again I can't insert the video so the link is the title. This is still one of my favorite songs and I still know every single word because I am Shane Dawson TRASH!

Let us not forget about "Douchebag"! It won't let me insert videos, but I am trying to link them all.

Basically, Shane is amazing! I love him so much and this was just a quick blog to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I'll go into a more in-depth explanation of why I love him and will forever support him in a later post, because that's going to take a lot of time to write because there is so much. Ten years of supporting him to unwrap.

But let's end with my absolute favorite song of his "Fuck Up".

That Time A President Conducted Meetings from the Toilet

Happy Monday! Another week ahead. This week's weird moment from history is how President Lyndon B. Johnson conducted meetings and interviews while on the toilet. I learned way too much about LBJ while doing research for this post and it is going to be a LONG time before I write another weird history post about him. But there will be at least another one in the future. Man was weird. Quick history lesson for my non-Americans who may not know who LBJ is. Lyndon Baines Johnson was the 36th President of the United States. He assumed the position following the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He was president from 1963 til 1969. NOW if you're like me and you grew up with the rewatching the movie Forrest Gump over and over again your first introduction to LBJ might be when Forrest was being honored with the Medal of Honor and showed the president where he was "shot in the buttocks" during the Vietnam War. I haven't watched Forrest Gump in years, but if you haven't...

Fangirl Friday: Deleasa

Heyo! Happy Friday! It's that time of the week when I ramble about someone I love! Today's subject is DJ and producer, Deleasa. His name is Mike Deleasa and while I normally refer to my subjects by first name in these posts, I will be referring to him by his stage name, Deleasa. NOW to understand how I became a fan of Deleasa, we have to go all the way back to 2012, when Kevin and Danielle Jonas' reality show, Married to Jonas premiered. I bet you're wondering what does this guy have to do with the Jonas Brothers? Deleasa is actually Danielle's brother, making him Kevin's brother-in-law. He was featured in the reality show and I ended up falling in love with him. He was actually my parasocial "rebound" from Joe. You can read all about my parasocial breakup with Joe in my Fangirl Friday about him . But enough about the Jonas Brothers. That's not why we're here. Plus I've already written 30k words about them on this blog. However, I am for...

Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are Basically the Same Person

I, a 21-year-old adult, is still a HUGE fan of the High School Musical franchise. In high school, had I been a better planner, I would have asked Lucas Grabeel to be my prom date. And even though I was older than most viewers, I did love Teen Beach Movie when it came out. In this post, I am going to explain how Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are basically the same person. Let's start at the beginning. You may know Zac Efron as Troy Bolton in the Disney Channel Original Movie (or DCOM), High School Musical and it's franchise. He is the attractive blue-eyed, protagonist of all three HSM movies. And I will admit that I was a huge fangirl for him in my youth. Honestly, now I can't stand him. But that's for another post. Zac portrayed Troy in all three HSM films, but he only sang in the last two. That's right. Zac Efron did not sing in the first HSM movie. That was the amazingly talented Drew Seeley whom I will love till the day I die. Similarly, Garrett Clayton pl...
