I just want to enjoy my life to the best of my ability. With me getting older its not worth chasing certain things but as long I felt it was easy to achieve.</div><div><br></div><div>For those wanting to see the video here is the link - <span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px; white-space: nowrap; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); ">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQf6ZMkvwqU </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px; white-space: nowrap; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); "><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">I was worried about the reaction I have to admit but I was dead wrong about the reactions. It turns out people were very understanding about the situation.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">The reason I wore a hoodie for the video was that I remembered watching a documentary about CM Punk and his career so far up to 2012 and I remembered when they were talking about the points leading to the promo that changed everything he wore a hoodie and talked with real honesty that you can feel his energy and his anger about what was happening. Also it actually helped me to be upfront. It is strange that clothing can help you out haha.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">I'm really proud of the video "Fuck Being YouTube Famous" and I will never forget it for what I say and how people have reacted in a way I never expected.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Thank you everyone.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">OK I have been thinking about doing a documentary to give myself a certain achievement. I remember the other day with people saying there should a documentary on Female Youtubers then I thought it would be good then people would suggest that you have to be a bit careful and have connections to do this idea. I thought they were right, during one of the conversations my friend Charlie (Not Charlie McDonnell) mentioned Autism within an idea for the original idea.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Right it gave me another idea that I wanted to do a documentary about Autism and people think it is an excellent idea and some would help out. This is fantastic and I was wondering how to get around it. What issues should be explored and if it needed crowd funding or not. They are questions I have been thinking about a lot to do this.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">I am happy that people have been giving me feedback on the issues and that I should do crowd funding if it is done right.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Anyway I'm going to give it some more thought into the documentary and if you reading, you can leave me feedback on twitter, Facebook or email if you have any of them.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Take care everyone</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Barry</span></div>Barry Aldridgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10313119193502559189noreply@blogger.com7Goring-by-Sea Goring-by-Sea50.816179 -0.432775tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31033455.post-88637554674629332202013-06-13T12:45:00.001+01:002013-06-13T12:46:43.130+01:00Looking back at first 6 months of 2013Hello everyone<div><br></div><div>The first half of the year has gone really fast and I can't believe it has come around so fast it is so amazing and realising that getting older does mean time goes a lot quicker. Depends what your outlook is but to me it has gone quickly.</div><div><br></div><div>There are 3 things that have totally surprised this year</div><div><br></div><div>1) My 30th birthday turned out to be a total blast indeed. Earlier on in the year I almost left YouTube because of business stuff and me hating the corporation machine as some people would say. It was brilliant that I had friends who helped me out and some people may have misunderstood that they thought I was taking them for a ride, I was not at all just some people thinking they know what's going on. I'm going off point, once my 30th arrived it turned into one of the best birthdays I ever had as I was able to go down to Brighton with my best mates for bowling, pub and usual fun we have. I got to say the Office boxset that my folks got me was one of the best presents up there with Sherlock series 2. Great day overall.</div><div><br></div><div>2) Going to 10 Downing Street just last month was an icing on the cake. It turned it was going to be my second time there. It turned I went there when I was 5 and can't remember until my mum told before I headed out the door to head to London. It was part of the IF campaign to end world hunger. I went with Lindsay, Charlie, Chris, Lizzie and Jourdan to hand in a petition with Save The Children. I kept on thinking of Reservoir Dogs that day. I did a video of the day and it was fun making and being at the event. Really proud of Lindsay and Charlie and everyone who wanted this to happen. Being in Hyde Park last weekend for the big rally was brilliant too. Emotional too</div><div><br></div><div>Finally 3) My final Bath gathering went off like a calm blue ocean. Don't worry there are sure to be more of them in the future. It was a great day to be with Youtubers again even though I saw them back in March for Bristol one, it felt like 6 months later instead of 3. Being by the Royal Crescent is always a highlight even though the gathering can be remembered as nearly everyone got sunburnt either face or their arms. I got it worst and wont talk about what happened the next week at Hyde Park for the rally.</div><div><br></div><div>It has been a fun year so far and full of surprises. Don't take anything for granted.</div><div><br></div><div>Speak to you later.</div><div><br></div><div>I hope to get "The Last Of Us" later today</div><div><br></div><div>Peace</div><div><br></div><div>Barry</div>Barry Aldridgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10313119193502559189noreply@blogger.com1Asda Lancing Supermarket South Street, Lancing, Brighton50.825721 -0.321924tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31033455.post-1590287759823706172013-04-11T20:49:00.001+01:002013-04-11T20:57:10.458+01:00Being Busy. Good and Bad!Hey everyone<br />
<br />
It's been a long time since I have done a post and I have said that before haha.<br />
<br />
I discovered that Blogger is now on the iPad and now I can do it without putting on my laptop every single time.<br />
<br />
I'm over what happened earlier this year with me leaving YouTube altogether for those wondering and feeling in a great mood but sometimes stress does kick in when it comes to being busy.<br />
<br />
For the last 18 months I have been busy nearly everyday doing something whether it is work with my job at Tescos, voluntary work in Shoreham dong audio editing and voluntary work in London to help out autistic people. It's really crazy.<br />
<br />
Last year I decided to cut back from one of my voluntary jobs because of train fares and amount of work that was done in a really quick time.<br />
<br />
I remember having two different chats a while ago and they both told me on separate occasions that it is ok to be doing something every day and the days go quicker. That is true to a degree but sometimes when you are busy for so long that you get used to it, that it can be slow or can destroy you mentality.<br />
<br />
A couple of weeks I felt a lot stress from doing a different job every day for a few weeks ago and felt I needed a day off to get rid of the stress. Lucky though I had a surprise visit from an uncle I ain't seen in years. It was great seeing him again.<br />
<br />
Over the course of time when sorting out job stuff, I had a chat with my best mate and he said to cut back on my other voluntary job to once every 2 weeks which is a brilliant idea. This would also help with my other voluntary job in Shoreham if they need me on Thursdays which they did today early in the morning.<br />
<br />
The disadvantage of not being busy is that days are long and boring. You feel you haven't achieved anything at all. Makes you feel empty. So to me I need to find the right balance which I hope to soon. It will take time.<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading<br />

<P>
As promised I am going to talk about how I am going to do my Hip Hop album and how I got into loving Hip Hop/Rap music.
<P>
First of all how did I start loving Hip Hop music. I was 13 years old at the time and my brother was trying to get me into music a lot more, so he got out a Cypress Hill called The Temples Of Boom and had a track called "Throw Your Set In The Air" cool joint then along the way he introduced me to Snoop Dogg's Debut Album called "DoggyStyle" then more West Coast and my love for the genre really kicked in with also East Coast stuff from Biggie Smalls and Nas helping out as well
<P>
My brother stopped listening to it years later but I am still going and proud of it, so I thank my brother for it every day which is brilliant.
<P>
Now during my school days I tried to rap but I had problems which were 1) I couldn't flow right and 2) I was incredibly shy which I am still am now. That is one of the things I really need to get through which I did talk about in a vlog a little while ago.
<P>
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/p9qYHnt9i1E" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<P>
Its been 14 years since I wanted to do this but its down to my confidence and my ability to get it done. I want to record the album next year and have it out by the end of next year at least. For me this is the scariest fucking thing I have ever done. This is the biggest demon that I have to face left, which is stage confidence. I did have those nerves when on stage at the Bath Gathering a few days ago. Thats something to work on too.
<P>
What made my decision to do an album, I was in my room going through a bit over a break up which was grown up and done right in terms of a break up and I was listening to Drake's 2nd Album "Take Care" because I used to sing lyrics from that album to my ex and I was listening to the track "Lord Knows" and heard from Rick Ross's verse. It felt it had a lot of power and swagger to the verse which was brilliant and reminded me of Biggie Smalls. One of my favourite MCs of all time. That how I wanted to do an album.
<P>
Now I am thinking of concepts and ideas for the album which includes a mix variety of tracks. Some people thought my twitter and facebook were hacked when I mentioned this idea. I have heard people are excited for it including one of my favourite indie musicians ever Tom Milsom. Who is very critical and honest about the music scene. I said to him I don't mind how he rates my album as long I get it done but I know Tom said to me that he knows it will be my own words and thoughts going into it. Now that deserves a huge amount of respect.
<P>
I will start talking about the tracks in another entry which could be tomorrow or over the weekend when I have a lot more time to do it.
<P>
Take care for now guys.

<P>
Its a long time since I last did a blog post on here and I have seen a few friends I know come out with blogging and thought I would make a comeback.
<P>
Now A lot has happened to me which some of it has been great and some not so great but have to deal with it one day at a time.
<P>
I don't have the most interesting life and I don't know why people like me, its puzzling me at times. I don't want to develop an ego where I have seen people who had no egos back in the day, having egos later in life where they aren't healthy to other people. That's probably why I find it a surprise.
<P>
Anyway no more negative stuff.
<P>
During the summer and autumn I helped out with a couple of projects where I was an Associate Producer for The Chronicles Of Syntax where I had a lot of fun on set. Sadly I can't talk about what happened and what I did because contracts and that's understandable.
<P>
The other project was as an executive producer for a film called Dark Roar which is based in Brighton. I hung around the crew for the day and it was great day to be had.
<P>
I'm waiting on the screening dates to happen which will be interesting indeed.
<P>
I also helped out on a project with my neighbour being the director. Its called RG1 where during Summer In The City weekend on the Sunday I helped out for one day which a lot of fun. It finished and it had a screening last Tuesday which I couldn't make it because of money and needed it for the Bath Gathering last weekend which I will get to. It got onto the local news which I was gutted about not going but hey Im glad I helped out with the project. I have seen it and it was nice short film dealing with Youth Crime.
<P>
Speaking about the Bath Gathering and my trips to Bath this year have been brilliant. I always love going there. I did 2 Bath Gatherings this year which was first and broke my own rule of only doing 1. Last weekend was memorable for the Christmas one. I'm glad we did it for the memory of Nathan Wills who passed away during the summer. Nathan to me and a lot of people was a great friend and will be missed indeed.
<P>
Charlotte's videos shows the gatherings really well from the summer one and the one last weekend for Christmas.
<P>

<P>
I got a lot more to say but may leave for another entry tomorrow in the second part where I talk about my music album and my near feud with YouTube and certain YouTubers I was so close to dissing NO JOKE which Im glad I never did.
<P>
Take Care Guys

<br />
It's been a long time and it's one first post of this year. I was wondering what to talk about and I really want to get back into writing posts whether it's blogs or reviews.<br />
<br />
For the last week I have been emotionally sick which I have been on the edge from last Monday evening to 1am this morning. It is kinda of funny that it happens to everyone that we go through many different emotions which can have great strengths but also great disadvantages to it. I never like showing emotions all the time because it can cloud certain judgements.<br />
<br />
During the last week I could be brilliant one moment and then the next moment I could be depressed and really down, not wanting to talk to anyone about it. The first person I talked to about it was my brother and he gave me some great advice which took a couple of days. It wasnt until the Saturday when I had one of the most stressful days at work and then coming home to something really bad that I felt I needed to take this on head to head.<br />
<br />
What helped me through surprisingly was Metal Gear Solid 4 for the PS3.... Yep a video game helped me to calm down. Now my mum would say caffiene would be a cause and that is true to a certain degree, to me I have struggles with taking advice from anyone accept my brother at times. I think its down to getting advice that didnt work out well from a friend.<br />
<br />
I sometimes feel like fighting my own battles so then I dont blame others for the different things concerning.<br />
<br />
Anyway back to the game that it was released back in 2008 and beaten it back then but had a real thrill playing it again as it is part of my past that I loved playing Metal Gear games when I was in my late teens and early 20's. It gave me a sense of inner peace when I beat it again. I still find it hard to believe that the final cutscenes that finish the game go on for an hour which is unheard of but I like it because it gives a real closure to that story and to me that something good can come out of the end of tunnel whether its real or not.<br />
<br />
I feel Im nearly better but not sure, Im glad to find the Inner peace and rise above it like my mum said to me.<br />
<br />
Thats it for now.<br />
<br />
Take care<br />
<br />

<br />
I was going to do a different blog entry yesterday but couldn't get the right things to say but lucky though I was Twitter this morning and I was reading the Doctor Who Bar Blog and was reading a blog about Tom's earilest memory of watching Doctor Who and he mentioned the 4th Doctor and the story Logopolis.<br />
<br />
Want to check out the Doctor Who Bar Blog Click On The Link<br />
<br />
<a href="http://thedoctorwhobar.blogspot.com/">Doctor Who Bar Blog</a><br />
<br />
As it is approaching the 48th anniversary of Doctor Who in 2 days and of course Doctor Who Series 6 is being released on DVD & Blu-Ray today, I thought I would talk about my earilest memory with Doctor Who.<br />
<br />
I remember it being a Wednesday Autumn night being a 5 year old and it was 1988. I was in a living room just playing with my toys and then on the tele was something a programme that had some errie music and had a wonderful title sequence that was filled with space and stars. It looked wonderful for its time and still does now.<br />
<br />
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5nhemnHrIsg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
I remember the first story I ever watched very well and it involved the Daleks which was a real concidence to lead into later on. When I saw the first episode of Remembrance Of The Daleks I felt there was something special with the programme. The Doctor was the 7th played by Sylvester McCoy and the companion was Ace played by Sophie Aldred<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100828173011/tardis/images/thumb/8/8e/The_seventh_Doctor_and_Ace.jpg/269px-The_seventh_Doctor_and_Ace.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="197" width="269" src="http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100828173011/tardis/images/thumb/8/8e/The_seventh_Doctor_and_Ace.jpg/269px-The_seventh_Doctor_and_Ace.jpg" /></a></div><br />
The setting was very important because it had a link with the very first Doctor Who story back in 1963. The Doctor and Ace go back to investigate whats going on and find there are two dalek factions going after the Hand Of Omega. I wont spoil anymore and let you watch the story. I loved the cliffhangers in episodes 1 & 2 for this story.<br />
<br />
Here's a fan trailer of the story<br />
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/I83qTCnHdb8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
I felt in love with the show after that story thinking at first it was a series of 4 episodes and glad there was, although the rest of the story wasnt as good as the first story but it was fun to watch. Seeing the doctor being a sort of hero/anti-hero that saves the earth and wondering who is he really?<br />
<br />
After that I watched the next series which had 4 fantastic stories which included the first time seeing Brigader Lethbridge-Stewart in a story called Battlefield. I really felt the show got so good by the last two stories of that season that I was wanting more. During that time I thought it had taken a rest but found out years ago that it was cancelled by the end of 1989. So the 1990s had no Doctor Who for a long time. I didnt know during that time that it cancelled. It was great and it led to some dark times that made me stop watching the programme by the end of 1990s until it came back in 2005.<br />
<br />
One day or maybe tomorrow I will talk about what happened during the 1990s with my Doctor Who fandom, how I got into the Older Doctors and later on with the new Doctors up to Matt Smith.<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading<br />

<br />
Still blogging which is really good and I keep coming out with topics to talk about. Normally videos help but nowadays it is easier for me to do written entries. Now I am repeating myself.<br />
<br />
Normally August is a very mixed month where at the beginning is totally brilliant then by the end of the month it turns into real blues, I was going to curse but I thought no way.<br />
<br />
It feels like a curse the end of this month as something really bad happens around me that makes my summer end badly whether it was a member of the family passing away or something going wrong in my life. School had sometimes been like that for me but its down to things happening in my life.<br />
<br />
Crazy but true. Im normally really positive when in situations but I feel like when I am work when it comes to this time of year in which I hate it. OK I wont talk about my job anymore haha, unless something really funny happens there.<br />
<br />
Everyone in life goes through bad patches for thick or thin. Later on in a week's time I will probably laugh about this haha.<br />
<br />
Til next time<br />

<br />
It has been a long time since I last did a blog post talking about what's been going on? It feels like everyone is doing it as well that they dont do blog posts anymore but thats understandable as we all have lives to live and doing what is best for us.<br />
<br />
We all wish it was either 2007 and 2008 when everyone was doing blogging but at the end its like growing up and find different things to do and some even move on but hey I have been more busy with my job, voluntary work and doing youtube videos which I am still having fun doing.<br />
<br />
Since my last proper blog post in May, I have done a holiday in Bath and also did a gathering there which was good. I always love Bath and the West Country. Wished I live there, it could happen one day maybe when I retire. <br />
<br />
The job at Tescos I am not enjoying all the time but still hanging on there because it helps with the rent money at home which is good.<br />
<br />
I went to BBQ for my Voluntary which was good and met all the readers which is good.<br />
<br />
I have been playing less video games lately but did get Tony Hawk Shred the other day and the board controller is a mixed bag at the moment and I did an unboxing the other day.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NVccLikrbqM" width="640"></iframe><br />
<br />
Hope to do review in a bit of time but need to play it more. I need to do lots of reviews of different games. I find doing video reviews better than written ones. When it comes to programme or film reviews I would find it easier to do written ones because there is a lot more to explain. I can do Doctor Who reviews in video but sometimes it needs a written article to help it. I may try get back into them as well.<br />
<br />
Here is my latest Doctor Who Review<br />
<br />

<br />
Finally I have been getting into a Thundercats marathon and I have reached half way and up to disc 13 out of 24, which amazes me indeed. Having a struggle at times but will keep going. I cant stop "Thunder, Thunder, Thundercats Ho" haha.<br />
<br />
I will blog in a couple of days my afterthoughts of my day at Summer In The City, once I have all the interviews up.<br />
<br />
See you guys soon<br />

<br />
Doctor Who Review of the 1996 film starring Paul McGann as the 8th Doctor Who. Who has to save the world from the Master played by Eric Roberts. Daphne Ashbrook plays the Companion Grace.<br />
<br />
Written by Mathew Jacobs and Directed by Geoffrey Sax<br />
<br />
PLOT (Spoilers)<br />
<br />
As the film opens, The Master has been tried on Skaro and found guilty of a "list of evil crimes,". His death sentence at the hands of the Daleks has been carried out. His last wish was for his remains to be returned to Gallifrey by his archenemy, the Doctor, currently in his seventh incarnation.<br />
<br />
During the trip back to Gallifrey in the Doctor's TARDIS, the vessel shakes, causing the box containing the Master's remains to shatter and allowing a sentient ooze to escape from it. The ooze enters the TARDIS controls and forces an emergency landing in Chinatown in San Francisco, California on New Year's Eve 1999. As the Doctor steps from the TARDIS to find his bearings, he is shot by a gang who are chasing down Chang Lee, a young Chinese-American man. Lee calls for an ambulance, and the Doctor is rushed to a nearby hospital. The surgeons find, through X-rays, that the Doctor has two hearts, but they assume the x-ray image is a double exposure. As cardiologist Dr. Grace Holloway starts to operate with a cardiac probe, the Doctor wakes up, tells her that he needs a beryllium atomic clock, and then falls into a seizure, eventually flatlining. Dr. Holloway declares the Doctor dead, and his body is placed into a morgue. Lee steals the Doctor's possessions, including the TARDIS key, and runs off. Meanwhile, the ooze, which had stowed itself away on the ambulance, attacks and takes over the body of the ambulance driver, Bruce. When Bruce's wife questions his odd behaviour, the Master, now controlling his body murders her.<br />
<br />
Late in the night, the Doctor regenerates into a new body, and leaves the morgue in a state of confusion, donning parts of costumes intended for the New Year's Party later that night. He follows Dr. Holloway as she leaves the hospital, and convinces her that he is the same man she operated on earlier. Dr. Holloway, who has lost her job at the hospital as a result of the disastrous operation on him, takes the Doctor to her home. Meanwhile, Lee has returned to the TARDIS with the key, and entered the time machine. The Master arrives soon afterwards and tells Lee that the Doctor stole the TARDIS from him, as well as his body, which he wants to retrieve. He convinces Lee to open the Eye of Harmony thanks to his human retinal pattern.Barry Aldridgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10313119193502559189noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31033455.post-15413160590747041982011-06-08T19:43:00.000+01:002011-06-08T19:43:29.926+01:00Infamous 2 Hero Edition and early thoughts of the gameHey everyone<br />
<br />
I got Infamous 2 today a couple of days before the UK release. Here is unboxing of the Hero Edition I got from Play.com.<br />
<br />
<iframe width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/aGq0vmi9XFs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
I had a go at the game and its demo and I am really impressed with the game. You go into a big battle with the Beast that was mentioned by Kessler in the first game. What a battle too. It was really awesome. I feel that Sucker Punch haven't lose it at all with this game. Its a real joy, I will admit the Hero Edition is a bit high on price on what you get. So far I would give it 4.5 out of 5.<br />
<br />
Heres a trailer of Infamous 2<br />

<br />
I thought I would do a normal blog today just talking about the mood of Spring and how wonderful it can be.<br />
<br />
I have always preferred Spring to Summer and Autumn. I would consider Summer as the worst because it gets too warm. I love the air in Spring because it feels really fresh and even though Winter is very cold, the air in that is fresh as well but freezing haha.<br />
<br />
The Spring to me always bring a new beginning in phase of my life, I think it does in people. I have stayed local a lot lately for the weather as we have been very lucky. A couple of weeks ago it felt like Summer in terms of weather and temperature which was different as I dont mind some differences. Its one of those things that can fully understand when you reach an certain age or when you are smart enough to understand.<br />
<br />
Short thought of Spring.<br />
<br />
I have been catching on Doctor Who a lot lately watching not only the new series and the classic series either on DVD or Youtube.<br />
<br />
Thats all for now<br />
