Everybody Dies Contest REsults



I had my first ever YouTube giveaway contest where Remi February, Victor (Gimmeabrekaman), and I each gave away a copy of Everybody Dies a Children's Book fro Grown Ups.

The end of the video is shot on my new Canon Rebel T2i.....so it has a very different look. I only have a 50mm lens..and it's not so easy to shoot myself with the camera, but I am looking forward to making some handsome videos with it once I learn how to use it.

We won a 2010 Japan Youtube Award. やった！




Takeo and I were recently nominated for the 2010 Youtube Japan Video awards for our video Scream of Slacker ニートの叫び。



I'm happy to say that thanks to all of you and your support we won the award. I would also like to congratulate Ericsurf6 and Ciaela who also won awards in the nature and How to categories.　　皆さん応援してくれて本当にありがとうございます。

We definitely could not have won without your votes, support and love. Thank you all so much.

Last year, I was also lucky enough to receive a youtube award for the video below "I Am Robot". I got a nice trophy in the mail from Youtube. Thanks so much for continuing to support me and my videos.
