PEOPLE YOU SHOULD WATCH OUT FOR IN 2015

Hello Internet People,

As promised, I'm doing a big ol' person of the week haul sort of thing, because I've missed so many weeks and there are so many people I want you to know and love by the end of the day! I'm posting this on the same day as my last post because I think they really fit together and I haven't given you anything in so long, so it's about time to give you something back for your patience. if you wanna check any of these guys out, guys click their names and it'll take you to the channel or blog.

Its very occasional that he posts a new song, but shit when he does it's pure beauty. Jacob and his band Bear Pit which he formed with singer (friend and ex-band mate of mine), Amber Lane. their music is real and honestly very moving. Give it a go, seriously.

Recently Luke, a close friend started this blog and i have to say, he puts all of himself into it, the posts are interesting and to the point and his style is always on point. If you love fashion, you will love him.

Oh Theo, bless him. Theo is an Australian youtuber i found in the comments section of another youtuber's video, i get that people don't like when someone 'self promotes' on other channels but how else are you gonna get known, and how else are you going to meet and make friends with other people that vlog? he's innocent and offbeat and i like that.

Obviously, people will know Matt as the husband and father of youtube royalty; Louise & Darcey - sprinkle of glitter and baby glitter. His channel is more focused on his experience in teaching with the occasional vlog, but he's really growing into his channel and it's really good to see. he lack slickness at times but he really seems to plan well and it shows.

He's just a simple vlogger. he's sweet and he knows how to keep life interesting and i like that. also, i like his artistic side how he shoots his videos.


Willam and Courtney are the two main drag queens who do Youtube. Willam has his show the Beatdown (which is hilarious) where he finds shit on youtube and laughs at it, and Courtney does a talk show, music and vlogs, they're pretty good so check it out.

Ben Cook. He's is just god, i mean he's dry, funny and honest and his series, 'Becoming Youtube' is everything, the second season of the series is coming out soon and it's overdue. his sense of humour and delivery is reminiscent of Charlie Brooker, and that's probably why i love him.

I've put these two together because both channels are exactly the same, basically. Ethan and Mark are vloggers who mainly daily vlog there day to day life together and that's mainly it. With these two there's really no tricks or skits, its just honest and i really like it. they go on 'boyfriend adventures' often to different places and vlog the experience and they work so well together you just root for them. i like them, and i think they deserve more recognition really. 



So yeah, that's it for today, i hope you like my suggestions, and if you watch then, say 'tomrogblogs took me here' :) see you next time, love you x





THE FUTURE.

Hello Internet People!

Don't you hate having to think of the future? I mean unless you're in your dream job, earning crazy money to support your perfect family and you have the happiest outlook in life, the future is pretty daunting. At the start of every new year people are expected to make plans for the future and keep them, which they won't. I like to prepare for the new year by telling myself that the next year is going to be better than the last. Essentially what I'm saying is that we lie to ourselves at least once a year.

This year is going to be different though. I know that it's pretty much the polar opposite to what I just explained but I really do think the future has at least one thing good in store for me this time around. Firstly, I'm finally getting some will power and getting up before midday, unlike normal, and I'm finally starting to eat right (isn't it sad that I wrote a post about healthy eating last year and I'm finally going through with it fully, months later). My motto for this year is basically grow some balls, fatty.

Also, I really am going to try and post more often, because if I don't then I just feel like I'm losing touch with the Internet. I'm going to try and think up a load of ideas and write them down, and do little projects to try and aid my blogging, and maybe pick up on doing themed weeks like I used to. What I'm trying to say is, this is the year that we succeed, the year of endless possibility and if I keep remembering that, then it will be so.

So that's it really for today, just a quick one that's hopefully given you some will power to keep your projects alive too. Let me know that your new years resolutions are, and tell me what your plans are for the future. OH! and I'm releasing another post later on today too... and I've been looking forward to, so look out for that as well! love you guys x

HOMOSEXUALITY & BEING GAY PT.1

Hello Internet People,

(Yes I've been gone a while, but let's put that behind us right now, because I want to talk about some important things)

 Recently I've been thinking of and witnessing a few things that have really shaken me and it's just really made me feel pretty shitty, and the worst thing is, they are all related to sexuality. As you can tell from previous posts, I am a gay man and if you didn't know - it took me 18 years to accept who I was. After years of being in denial, believe me it's one of the hardest things people have to go through, because you really do not know what's going to happen when you stand up and announce who you are to the world. When people aren't supportive of what you went through, it's a hard thing to live with, and that's mainly what I want to talk about today.


source
Firstly, if you have been living under a rock, you might not know that YouTube star Connor Franta, who has already had a confusing enough year after departing from the seemingly unstoppable collab channel O2L, recently released a video to his main channel on YouTube in which he came out to his entire following, and it's shocked a lot of people. I have to say that in fairness, it was no surprise to me, but it was amazing to see the reaction he was given. At the end of the day, the courage it took for him to do that was immense and I am so very proud of him for doing so. Unfortunately, what was upsetting about it is that a minority of people have reacted badly about it. If those ignorant, one minded people just took a second to realise it isn't a choice, and if you watch Connor's video (link here), you'll see him explain that. Like he says in the video, he tried to date girls and just pretend, but inside he knew that in the end that is just who he is. If you want to discriminate then just imagine if you were going through it first and ask yourself - how would you want to be treated?

Additionally, I've had people say things to me recently about my sexuality or things aimed at me because of it and it's really gotten my tired and upset. Most of you have probably read my Blog before and you'll know that I'm a strong willed, loud mouthed person, but even though they were just small things people have done or said, it all adds up and its sort of breaking me down. For example, I was talking with a few friends and I held onto who I thought was my closest mate's shoulder to get up off the chair and he turns to me and says 'can you stop touching me, you're always touching me and it creeps me out'. bear in mind I'm a very physical conversationalist, so ill give you a soft punch in the arm if I ask how you are or give you a pat on the back if I'm saying goodbye. Anyway I just ignored it and saw it as banter,until I come back from the toilets and he's purposely swapped seats with someone else. now that hurts. If you really think I'm hitting on you do you really think I'd take 4 months to try something? And what's irritating is that now whenever we see each other, there's always someone else there that he's invited as well, to clearly put in between us. I'm a lad's lad, so when I'm getting accused of trying it on with one of my lad mates its really fucking annoying, just because I'm gay doesn't mean i want every lad I talk to, okay?

At the end of the day, just because you're gay doesn't mean that's all that you are. You are not and never will be just a stereotype, you are good person, who just wants to be happy and that's what matters.

PERSON OF THE WEEK

Will be a bumper catch up special with about 10 people I would have put as my persons of the week in the time that I've been gone!

But seriously, I know this has been a while and I know that this is a bit of a shitty post but I felt the need to get it off my chest. Also sorry about being gone for so long, but also thanks for sticking with me, I've been working a lot and I haven't had the time to post. I've still been looking at the site and I've seen the amount of you that have come on to check it and that's just amazing to me! thank you guys so much, I love you and I hope you enjoy the tweaks I did to make the site a bit better. See you next time x
