Fangirl Friday: The Carpetbagger

 Heyo! Another week down! This week's spotlight is on my favorite YouTuber, The Carpetbagger! This post is going to be different from most because I'm going to be including YouTube videos instead of photos. Bear with me.

I discovered The Carpetbagger YouTube channel in 2017. After dropping out of college (the first time) in 2016, I started watching a bunch of Disney vloggers, and among them was The Tim Tracker. I also was watching Adam the Woo at the time. So YouTube suggested The Carpetbagger channel to me. I've been a fan ever since.

The Carpetbagger channel is a traveling channel run by Jacob who I fully believe I would vibe with. He visits the most interesting roadside attractions as well as a lot of "haunted" attractions. I LOVE his channel in the Halloween season. 

My father and I have a lot of dream trips. Placed we'd like to check out, but don't have the means to at the moment. I get to live vicariously through Jacob's videos which I think is what made him become my #1 favorite YouTuber.

In my 2018 post about the YouTubers I watch religiously, he ranked #8. He travels to a lot of museums and that fuels my nerdiness. But I also love that he goes to oddities shops!

He's the only Travel YouTuber I watch, but he's the only travel YouTuber I need to watch. I've been wanting to go through every single one of his videos and make a list of the places he's visited because most if not all the places he's gone are places I think my dad and I would love to check out!

At the time of writing this, the last video of his I watched was his most recent video about The Thing in Arizona. It's the video above. He's made a few videos on this attraction, but every video is a little different.

Honestly, the man can make 100 videos on the same exact attraction and I'd watch them all.

I love Jacob's channel not only because I love the places he goes, but because I vibe with him Like I do admit to having a platonic crush on him. Jacob, if you ever see this post, please be my friend. You've only come to my state twice that I know of, but there is a museum in my city that you haven't seen and I think you would absolutely love it! Also, a few other museums in my area you'd like!

To quote the man himself, "this one's in the bag!" Thanks for checking out my rambling about my favorite YouTuber. Check out his channel!

If by some miracle Jacob sees this, thank you for your YouTube channel! It is a gift, keep up the good work!

Why Blue is the Real Villain of Blue's Big City Adventure

Okay, so maybe "villain" isn't the right word. Blue is more like the antagonist. This post is about the Blues' Clues & You movie Blue's Big City Adventure. So there will be spoilers. If you have Paramount+, it's only an hour watch. I promise it is worth the watch if you have watched Blue's Clues in any capacity. Blue's Big City Adventure poster If you were born in the 90s or early 2000s like me then you most likely watched the original Blue's Clues show hosted by either Steve (Steve Burns) or Joe (Donovan Patton). I have an older and a younger brother, so I got to experience both. However, MY host was Steve, and I am a Steve fan til the day I die. I have Blue's Clues & You playing in the background as I write this post because I realized I haven't watched a single episode of the new series despite watching the movie 6 times. I cannot stress enough how much I love Blue's new design. She looks so much fluffier. The original Blue...

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...

That Time Rod Stewart Found Other Ways of Doing Cocaine

 Heyo! Happy Monday! This week's That Time... is a doozy. If you're a classic rock fan or a fan of Rod Stewart, you probably know exactly what this post is about. This one is a short one, but an interesting one. So bear with me. Of course need to put a warning about drug use. There are plenty of other posts that you are more than welcome to check out if this isn't your thing. If you are unfamiliar with Rod Stewart, let me introduce you to the ICON! He's a rockstar who also has a few pop bangers. I grew up with his music and can't remember a time in my life without his music. The first song I think of when he pops into my head is "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" . I know it's the most basic song of his, but I have fond memories listening to the song on the radio when I was a kid. He's also dabbled in a few bands, but I am more familiar with his solo work than his bands. Though check out his band, Faces. In 2012, Rod released his autobiography, Rod: The A...
