💽 My real love, Youtube

 "Passion and Love."

I did not think I would be writing about this, but let us get to it. By far, Youtube is my favorite Google's app. I am talking about fanatism, love, and respect at the same time. Let me tell you why. 

    I wake up in the morning, and the very first thing I look at is my video feed recently updated, showing me the latest news around the world and my country. I put some music on it and prepare myself for the journey ahead. I start every day with the same enchanting pieces of classical music as I have always done. Some Bach here, a bit of Prokofiev there, sometimes Tchaikovsky joins to the wake-up party, and for sure, Vivaldi does not miss his chance. 

    The first time I got into this video-making challenge was in the fall of 2016. At that time, I was 16, so I decided to create a personal challenge to learn different design and photography stuff. Physical classes seemed dull and aimlessly to me. However, online courses and seminars were a big deal in my viewpoint. Thus, my desire to become a competent person drove me to create my first Youtube channel. 

    After three months of starting, my enthusiasm got to a point where I made a considerable investment. I sold my PS4 and Xbox to buy a cutting-edge PC gamer. Why did I do that? You may ask. Overall, to improve my designing skills, I thought a faster computer might help me, and it turned out I was right.

    I still remember the first video I uploaded. With dreams and constant thoughts of improvement and passion, I recorded myself with my telephone's camera saying: "Hi everyone, I am Cesar and welcome to my very first video." Yes, it was in English, but it did not last long.

    Not only the second video was quite different in topic, but also technique; I had decided to try the famous Screen-recorder technology, so I give it a shot, and it worked as expected, opening a new world of tutorial classes. 

    Back in mid-2017, I had a girlfriend who had a channel, too. So I asked her if she wanted to pass it or sell it. To my surprise, she said yes, therefore, I got two youtube spaces to nurture every single week. I had six thousand subscribers on the new channel; they didn't know me, and to be honest, I did not care much, but I used it to upload my upcoming experiments. Outstandingly, in a matter of days, my channel became a great sensation in my city. Regardless of its several flaws, my friends and I did well managing it.

    According to Youtube figures, we received over 600 people in our first month. That was unbelievable for a six-teen-year-old guy (and his peers) located in a small city somewhere in central Mexico who did not speak any English and did his first video on that language. 

    Nowadays (2020), thanks to this ongoing pandemic, I created an educational youtube channel called Ingles Practico con Cesar. I intend to teach English to Spanish-speaking people around my neighborhood while enhancing my speaking and editing abilities. I call this "killing two birds with one stone." 

Onward...

📌 Am I an artist?

Am I an artist?  " I guess no because I don't understand a thing when looking at a piece of art." That was the answer I gave myself every time I entered a museum. Does that mean I was insecure? Well, not exactly. I was overwhelmed.   So many techniques, periods, movements, and terms made me feel sick and weak . Art is hard! I didn't study art history or anything related, but I wanted to enjoy random sculptures and artworks. Then I thought, " that had to change."  I needed a  guide   easy to read, but I wanted to create it from scratch. One   day, I took my laptop, a bunch of white sheets and started asking questions to myself. Yes, from the basics like:  What is this?  What do you represent?  How many people painted you? What is the title?   Then, I questioned myself about the moment being there (in the Museum or Gallery). This is what I found: Do the shoes I use when visiting influence my experience?  Should I know the artist be...

🌠 Emma

"Write about one fear and turn it into a character." Everything started a cloudy morning in March. Moisture around the place provoked me to sneeze and wake up. I was sat in an enclosed room. Perhaps it was the living room. I got rid of the humid bindings covering my eyes. Nothing seemed to have life inside that negative space until the sound of two flies flying around gave me the notion of freedom. Somehow their movements were rhythmic symphonies. I still don't realize how I got there. The floor was jammed-packed with untied boots, and the walls were all coat-colored. For a moment, I thought I was dreaming. My weak back felt the pressure of gravity more than ever.       And Emma was there, leaning forward, looking strong, alive, persuasive, and also, methodical. Hatred was the first sentiment I experienced the moment I looked at her black-in-black eyes. Her right arm placed over her right knee added to the way she was staring at me, paralyzed the time.  She poin...

🌱 Evaluate

  "Evaluate your progress, so far ." I think I'm still trying to figure out how I should write my articles—I mean, informal, or more formal?      I've learned several things I didn't know I could do in the past weeks. Like leaving my feelings and thoughts arrive before my critical mind or understand what an Oxford comma is. Namely, I noticed my mind and way of being are further interested in academic writing. However, today's text will be more  street,  also general .        I do believe today I'm a better writer, or at least, I write more confidently. For instance, yesterday, I received a topic and instantly perceived what to tell, and in the past week, I have felt that feeling other times—with just one exception, my 9th day called, "Something about teaching" that even made me sweat.       I've been reading many science-fiction books like Ready Player One, Dure, or the Narnia Series the last few months. While r...
