Allow me a moment of self-indulgence in celebrating a small milestone that happened today. And really, when I say small milestone, I mean miniscule. But it’s a milestone, nonetheless, and all of life’s milestones should be celebrated in one form or another. So, that’s that.
Today, one of my YouTube videos has met the 1,000 views mark. I realize to a vast majority of the YouTube community, that’s small potatoes and their videos hit that mark within hours or days. But since this is the first of mine to make it, I’m understandably a little excited.
The winning video was my Gay-cation to Walt Disney World I filmed with Karen, Kevin and Lauren. But it wasn’t without a worthy opponent. For awhile there, it looked like A Day at Wonder Works was going to surge ahead and win, as it seems to get many more hits per day than Gay-cation does. But the Gay-cationers maintained their lead long enough to pass this finish line first, so congratulations to them!
Now, I have no doubt in my mind that my Christmas video would have made it to the 1,000 mark first (and long ago) had YouTube not removed it due to my using a bit of some music that I’m legally not allowed to use (blah blah blah), but they did, and so its brilliance was yanked. Hint: It’s still on Facebook, so if you want to see me at my best (or worst, depending on how you look at it), you can find it in the video section of my profile there.
Speaking of Facebook videos, I really wish they kept track of how man times videos are viewed. I have a hunch I get a majority of my views there, and not that it’s really a big deal in the grand scheme of things how many times someone has watched my videos, it’s just nice to be able to know if the time and effort I put into them is even worth it. It’s always nice to get some recognition for your hard work, you know?
But today isn’t about that. Today is about celebrating my first video to reach 1,000 views on YouTube. So, to celebrate, I invite you to head on over to My YouTube Channel and watch some of my videos. I post most of them here as they get uploaded, but who knows, maybe you missed one. Or maybe it’s time to revisit an old favorite.
