This may be old news for the You Tube informed

Holy S#$&, has everyone seen this but me? This is a clip of skateboarder Danny Way jumping over the Great Wall of China. I may have mentioned that I am old and Danny Way skated way back in the day when I did, I didn't even know he still skated. Seriously I couldn't ollie over a fortune cookie right now. I not just saying this, this video is amazing. Have a look if you dare.

I am a blogging shrimp

If you are an adult and you don't have kids, you have probably never met Pepe the Shrimp, I mean King Prawn. I am sorry to post such a lame post but I just love Pepe, I AM NOT A SHRIMP. I mean how else would you know about Pepe besides an old person with no life blogging about it? I mean why would you really? I am so sad but Pepe does cheer me up.

The American Comedy that Never was...

There is something about British comedy that is so funny, sometimes I don't even know why I'm laughing, seriously. Does anyone remember the American version of coupling? For some reason it did not work, I mean it was bad - really bad. Hence the clip of the original coupling below that just kills me. I'm not for sure what season this is from but this is the official British version of the comedy - the original, not the American for some reason I can't explain the lamest show I've ever seen version. If you have never checked out Coupling before check out some clips on You Tube or maybe Amazon. Take a look below, this clip is hilarious.

If your old like me

The only way you will even be remotely interested in this if you are old like me. This is a performance of the Beastie Boys track "So Whatcha Want" from the 1992 album Check your Head. Way back in 1992, way before You Tube, seeing a performance like this was a real treat and this is a good one. The quality is low but this is one of the best Beastie Boys performance I have ever seen. Nice surprise at the end as well. Check it out!

If only politics were this cute too

If only politics were this sweet and inncocent (and talented). This is the cutest song I have ever heard for a presidential candidate. Her You Tube comments are great and if you head over to her MySpace page you can check out some of her other songs and shoot her a friend request if you so see fit. I certainly did. Her name is Shelby Lindley

A Crystal Pepsi Bath?

The good ole days of 1993. It was the beginning of Star Trek DS9 and Martin Lawrence still had a show called Martin. Say, does anyone remember a show called the "Class of 1996"? It didn't last but a few episodes but it always seemed to me there was a concept problem somewhere in the development department with that idea. Well if you don't remember that, maybe you will remember Crystal Pepsi. Out of all the Crystal Pepsi commercials on You Tube this one is one of my favorites. I like when the announcer asks if she would take a bath it in. I would hop in there with her for sure. The audio is a little low but check it out.

Indiana Jones and The Kindgom of the Crystal Skull

For many people today, February 14th, is a special day, and it's a special day for me too. That is because today is the official release of the new trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, although I do not have the official version - I have a bootleg. I can't help myself though - I have been waiting for this movie since basically around 1989. I was really worried about how the movie would come out but I have to say it looks great. Enjoy

The Constitution is back - at least on You Tube anyways

OK, check this out, I'm not trying to have a political blog at all, and true Michael Badnarik does have a political affiliation although I wont mention what it is - you have to watch this series. Be prepared though, this is only video one out of forty two. No matter what you believe this is a great class on the United States Constitution that I believe everyone will enjoy if they have a little time to watch it. My favorite part is where he explains how you don't really own your own car or land and then gives the exact concrete explanation. Intrigued yet? You gotta watch these. There are forty one more where this one came from so be sure to check them out on You Tube.

Isn't it amazing how you can be looking for something on You Tube and end up somewhere completely different. I went on You Tube to look for a video I had once seen on the constitution and ended up with a video of Aries Spears doing Snoop, DMX and Jay Z live on air. I have always said that Aries is hands down one of the most talented comedians out there and I always loved him on MAD TV. Check this out, it is amazingly good. The constitution will have to wait till the next post.

Notes from Prague via Philly

I am so loving this song! Not just because Prague is one of the most amazing places I have ever visited either, this guy has a nice style and voice plus the Czech rapper at the end just kills it even though my Czech is pretty sad itself. From what I can gather this guy has relocated from Philly to Prague although I'm not for sure if it was just to be an artist or something else. LA4 has a MySpace page but I didn't find much info there either. Still worth checking out for sure though.

Secret of Early US History - The Rap

Here is a great video made by some students for what appears to be a school project. Some good stop motion animation as well. Although there are only eight comments at this point the overall tone is positive. The end of the video shows the students involved in the project. I even learned something new - the 14th Colony? No way! Check it out.

My First Post

Hello all, this is my first post and I have no idea what to say. According to the book on blogging I just read this is where I set the tone of my blog and tell what it's going to be about. Well I guess it seems pretty obvious from the title but then again, maybe not. I guess maybe the term "boob" seems like I will just sit and watch anything that is on You Tube when really it is just the opposite, I love finding those videos that once you see them, you can't believe you have went your whole life without the information you just watched. Or maybe you find an old commercial that you completely forgot about or a video or performance from a band you forgot you ever liked or had never seen. So instead of just taking the videos straight off the front page and slapping them on here and calling it a You Tube blog, I'm hoping to really dig deep and find some real gems and entertaining videos that may often get overlooked. Either way I hope to dig them up, embed them on here and see who shares my interests. I mean I'm going to be looking for them anyways so why not share them with all of you? Thanks and happy You Tubing.
