Who am I?

Personality
I'd like to think that I'm funny. People tell me I am, and I find myself laughing at my own jokes. I'm introverted, yet extroverted. Like it really depends on the situation. But overall, I am a introverted fellow.

Skills
I'm good with people. And I'm also extremely good at avoiding things. I can dodge almost any conversation unless I don't want to. I'm good at most of the things I'm interested in. But stuff like Math I struggle with because I have no interest. I'm lazy, and will always try to find a easier way around things. I'm also good at technology, I love making videos, especially editing them, even when my computer decides it doesn't want to work.

Learning Style
I like learning visually. If I have the chance to do something my way, that usually that helps me succeed in it.

Where am I going?

How might I get there?

Just like any kid, I want to be a YouTuber. But most kids don't pursue that, nor do they actually have a backup for when or rather, IF, it doesn't workout. YouTube is a, well, different job. To say the least. At any moment you could stop making money from copyright strikes on your videos, and you could not make any money. If it does workout, then you could really make a lot of money, enough to survive for years. So I'm giving YouTube a shot, and I've been going for 4 years. Because this is such a hit or miss, I do have a few ideas for a backup. I love making videos. If I can't do that on YouTube, I can do it somewhere else. Tons of YouTubers hire editors, and pay them. That could work out for me, because I love editing. I could also be a filmmaker for real movies. These are jobs that I would love to do. Who knows what will happen?

Well, lets say YouTube somehow works out, well all I have to do is keep uploading stuff. Which I'm doing now. But if it doesn't, then if I want to get into filmmaking, I need to go to film school. There's lots of good schools like The New York Film Academy and others, so that would be step like 2 or 3. Step one is actually taking classes in high school that relate to that. Now I did say I would like to be an editor and stuff like that, so I did taking a Video Production Class and a few others related to web design, graphic design, game development, and stuff like that. I really like playing with technology. It's fun to do stuff like that, and I am so down to have a job like that.

What can I do now?

Well for starters I am currently running a YouTube channel where I post well, whatever the heck I want, and I think with enough patients, I could get somewhere with it. And in high school I plan to take tons of classes related to video production, like I mentioned in the last paragraph.

I finally used Kahoot

7/7/2017

If you don't know, there is this app called Kahoot that is mostly meant for school. The teacher makes a quiz, and everybody joins on their computer. The question was displayed on the teachers computer and the students answer it on their computers/tablets/phones. I've always wanted to use Kahoot, but I never found a great reason to do so. But now we are making Kahoots in summer school, so I finally have a reason to do this.

And so far, it's way different than I thought it would be. But still easy to use and a fun program to play around with.

Morals. Cause Why Not.

Perseverance is something that I kinda slack off on and kinda don't. One example: this blog. For the whole school year I was not posting and had not made much progress, but now that it's summer I have more time to do this blog and post more. Another example is my YouTube Channel.
I persevere to make videos as much as possible and in quality. And even in the school year, I'm doing pretty well.

I'm Back!

6/19/2017

This blog will return to life on Friday of every week for about 6 weeks of the summer. I will also try my best to edit the Photo Blog and add more Photo sprees. And maybe some new stuff.

Oh my Gawd

NEW CAMERA!!!!

3/28/2017

So, as you can tell by the name of this blog post, I have acquired a new camera! I got the Nikon D5200. It has great, but loud autofocus, and it is a great starter camera, and can be used by more intermediate photographers, like me. It has great video quality and is a great camera. I am super excited to get working with it for YouTube. Check my channel for more videos.

Holy Moly!

7/23/2016

This blog just passed 500 views! Yesterday. Today it passed the 600 mark.
This is insane. I could not be more happy! Thank you to all that have viewed, bookmarked, and look at this blog daily. We might be able to cross the 700 mark my tomorrow as we are at 654 right now. If we could pull out 1000 in the next few days, that would be mindbogglingly crazy.

Update: This blog right now is at 777 views. Holy crap.

Farouk Shutting Down His Blog?

7/19/2016

Farouk A. is a friend of mine, him and I both made blogs for school. I have really gotten attached to mine, and have decided to continue it for years to come. Farouk however, has decided to take his down on Friday. I really don't understand this because his blog is nice, but he said: "Due to lack of views". The reason he doesn't has as many views as he wants is because he doesn't tell his family or friends about it, I think. If you think you don't know who Farouk is, your wrong. Because there is a photo of him on this website.

Getting a Trampoline!

7/15/2016

I'm getting a trampoline, mostly because I want one, and I really want to learn a back-flip. This post is a post telling you that there will be another post on when I get the trampoline, so stay tuned people! And if you want ours, then your going to have to spend twice as much as we did. It was a one day sale at Sam's Club.

Sky Zone Trampoline Park

7/9/2016

I went to Sky Zone recently, and I finally taught myself to land a front-flip! I can't do a backflip yet, but I'm going to get a trampoline that I'll probably learn it on. Plus I'm doing a parkour class as well! Expect blog posts on all of these things. And if you reading this sentence, then there are no videos of me doing a front flip on this post yet. That will be updated soon.

What do you think about this website?

6/30/2016

Recently, I massively changed my website. If you like it, great! If you don't like it, too bad. Because I like it and I'm going to keep it this way. Also tell me about what you want, mistakes like typos, etc.

And that is what I look like.
Thanks for viewing my site.

The Fourth of July

6/30/2016

What am I doing for the Fourth of July?

Well, for the Fourth of July, my cousins that live in Oregon are coming, and were going to have a big party at my grandma's house. They always host a big party after the parade in Wauwatosa. Tons of friends and family attend to the party. They make burgers, hot dawgs and brats.
But better then this party, I'm really excited for the block party. Two years ago, I rocked the drums there, last time however, it rained. So lets hope it doesn't rain this year.

New Gaming Keyboard!

6/25/2016

Recently I bought a new gaming keyboard and I instantly fell in love with it. It has knock-off Cherry MX Blues that are supposed to equal to be the real thing, and it has 5 color profiles so that I can change it to any of the available 16.8 million colors. You can also have the LED's off, medium brightness, high brightness, just highlight WSAD and the arrow keys, and just highlight WSAD and the arrow keys with other gaming buttons lit. Now this is my first mechanical keyboard and right now, its the best keyboard that I have ever typed on. Now I know there are better options out there, but I have not tried those yet. So this is the best one. The keys are LOUD and I love that, the keys are not mushy like normal keyboards, the LED's light up around the keyboard nicely, not too much between the keys, but the font they used is crap looking!

The body of the keyboard is kinda like a matte - hard plastic feel according to dis guy, and this keyboard is 10keyless, meaning it does NOT have a big annoying useless number pad on the far right. Rosewill provided clear keys for WSADEQ and the arrow keys. As you can see above, I am only using the clear key caps WSAD and not for the arrow keys. Although I did once have the arrow keys clear as well, I changed back to only WSAD because it looks nicer. Well, that concludes my comprehensive review of the Rosewill RGB80 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. I give it a good, 3.5 stars.

My YouTube Channel

At the moment I only have 3 videos at the time of this post, and I will be doing more videos soon. My goal is to get 2 videos a week, weekly. I will be making videos when I feel like it. If you wish to search up my channel on YouTube, then use the keyword "JulianRob37" my videos should start showing up.

Air Pollution Sucks!

6/24/2016

It really does! Smog, a mix of smoke and fog, smoke and gas emitted from from the rears of cars and motorcycles, stoves, all of these things bring bad gas to the world and its just not good. For robots, its fine, but for humans to breath every one of these things in, especially if you live in a city, is not fine.
But we now have electric cars. Which everybody THINKS is good and fine for the environment, and in a way, your right. But how do you charge them? Electricity. Where do you get electricity? From a power plant. And power plans have TONS of smoke that is polluting the air!
So if you think about it, we really haven't solved the air pollution problem. But have we? Scientists have recently, (2 yrs ago) developed a car that runs on cuteness! Just kidding. That was a movie reference, if you get that right, good for you. Anyways, they developed a car that runs on hydrogen. Isn't that great! This probably is the cleanest way for a motorized vehicle (such as a car) to work. But not very cheap either.
So what is the best way to have a car without making smoke? Well in my opinion, its this:
FYI: I don't know what this is called, but I know how it works.
So one of my favorite cars on planet nerd is the McLaren P1. The engine's horsepower is around 900. Which is insane. INSANE. It has a electric engine that produces a good 100 hp, and it has a normal engine that produces 800 hp. So you can either use the gas engine, or the electric engine on its own. OR you can combine them hit the gas. Another car that uses the same principle is the Ferrari LaFerrari. Except the engines are always combined.
