Please, be my guest and never watch one of
my vlogs and you won't risk getting offended. Yeah, I like
attention. I worked a total of ten hours putting up two vlogs from "Live
& Uncensored in NYC".
It was an hour long program. I had to
do a lot of editing. The first part of the vlog didn't get that many
hits. I'd been riding high with over a hundred hits a day for five days
with my Immortalist vlog. My simple, sane, respectable vlog about the
serious issues involving censorship and the media was hardly viewed.
Intellectual important stuff doesn't count, even here.
I've already gotten more reaction to this
vlog that only took three hours (I'd logged the tapes already so only had to do
editing).
My "Vlog In Stone" is really neat.
That will probably bomb also. Whether you know it or not, we are all in
something called "show business".
Sure, some vlog for Grandma and the
family. But most vloggers want their vlogs to be seen. The lack of
feedback gets everyone upset.
I'd rather be "eaten alive" and called
names ---as opposed to doing vlogs no one bothers to
watch.

I've
always asked the hard and unexpected questions in interviews.
That's
why my early radio interviews got rave reviews in the New York
Times,
The Herald Tribune and Newsweek Magazine.

did tell me to "Shoot! Shoot!" when I asked permission first.
I "shot" and
he gagged on my simple question. I think he over-reacted
partially because
he was offended by my 'kind' quess that he was 75
years old.

I get the impression you want attention.
Which of course is fine.
Just not enough by itself to keep my
interest.
