making art, baking cookies, discovering life.
So i decided to spend Halloween at home with my parents. My dad works odd hours for NBC as a video editor, so my mom has to spend holidays alone pretty often, and this year i thought it would be fun to hand out candy with my mom, it ended up being a really relaxing weekend all together.
I have something funny to share though:
My friend Joel (who enters online video contests for a living) e-mailed me about a contest that he could not enter, but insisted that I enter, for US News… “Why Your School Rocks!”
So i was starting to get close to the deadline and then realized that the top 10 finalists were based on # of views on youtube, so then i really thought i had no chance, until i realized that there were only 7 videos posted! I was like, AWESOME! So i finished up the video real fast because i would be one of the 10 finalists regardless, uploaded it just in time and then ALL OF A SUDDEN there were 55 videos posted. I had been checking periodically to make sure i would still make the 10… so i guess people had their videos up, gathering views… and then posted it to the contest at the very last minute! I should have thought about that. Luckily i didn’t spend TOO much time on it, and now i’ve entered one video contest, which has started me rolling on entering more, its a rally cool way to win fee stuff and money!
Anyway, thats my story of failure for the week.
