Yo! Check this out!


A couple of days ago I shot a little video of myself about myself. So, with a little help from my dad, we made it into a little quicktime movie. ^_^ So, um, click here watch it!

Dylan, dude! I GET it!!! you are NO tweeny-bopper you are the real deal! cool enough to know its okay to like some pop music (those guys aren’t soo bad - I knew them they were a real (kinda cheez) band in MD they just got popular). I cringed to see the head gear, they still make kids wear those contraptions? It’s like some kind of medieval torture. I love the video.
I will post video of my friends rock band for you this week on my blog.

‘Lo, there!

Heh. Thanks you guys for the comments. I’m definatly going to do another video. :)

- Dylan

Yeah, do it everyday. Tell your friends to do it too.

Check this out, Dylan:
Hello Videoblogger

i did the hole braces thing too. but you’re on your own with the headgear. good luck, great vid :)

Congradulations. You’re a kid who can use the internet and use English the way it was ment to be used at the same time. A rare skill indeed. You should be showered with gifts and prizes.

And incase you’re wondering, My name is Travis (Travis_kun on LiveJournal), and I’m 17.

P.S.
You are probably the only cool 11 year old.

Way to go, Dylan…you’re gonna get sooooooo many posts after that video whizzes around the ‘Net.

Tell your Dad one Anonymous poster said: “Yo, Dad…more tape!”

You said that the ads on neopets were slowing down your computer. I’ve found that Flashblock helps a lot on Firefox to keep ads from slowing down my computer.

You kids are gonna take over the world someday.

[Would have e-mailed, but my finals addles brain couldn’t find the e-mail link.] Hey man, Cool video!, but I’d move away from the biopic type of videos. IE: videos with your picture on them. You could do a lot of video about other things in your life though and thus avoid the potential of ‘gaze of the weirdo.’ Sorry to bring this up but y’know…there are freaks out there in the web-o-verse. (I’m a law student and maybe it’s just my crim law reading talking) Cool video though.

thats a very interesting entry. don’t feel like you have to apologize for the music you like. like what you like, and thats the bottom line. i went to high school with chris from GC, he is one awesome guy and deserves all the good things in life. im glad he has cool fans like you.

You’re 11, like J-pop, J-Rock, and David Bowie? Too cool, too cool…! Keep up the video bloggin’ and don’t worry about what people think about your music tastes–it’s the Internet!

Awesome blog Dylan! I’ll be keeping an eye on you for a while. No matter what anyone says, 11 year old kids still have something worthwhile to say about life. Just don’t degenerate into anything like the rubbish on Livejournal. You’ve got a good thing going here. More videos! More opinions on books! More opinions on music! You’re probably the youngest most famously interesting blogger out there…

Also! You should check out the band The Smashing Pumpkins. You’d probably like their album “Siamese Dream”.

LOL, Dylan your vlog is creating quite the fuzz around the blogosphere. Good luck with your future work.

Dylan,
Awesome video blog entry. It makes me want to finally get a digital video camera and do my own. I’ve been down the road of headgear + braces. Not fun, I know, so hang in there.

You seem very precocious… keep up the good work!

–Brock (http://brocktice.com)

Hey, nice video… you’re probably the only cool 11 year old i know, too. lol. So anyway, keep with the video tapes. Oh, and one more thing- what did you say your neopets username was? Just reply the answer on my blog at http://x_serendipity_x.blogspot.com See ya.

…haha, btw… ur dad’s not that bad looking ;p

Hey, cool! More video posts, that was nice. (: And I can’t believe you’re just 11. Awesome.
By the way, I had headgear just like that when I was younger too. Yeah, it sucked. (;
Byee! /Patrik in Sweden

Very cool, Dylan! Your video is really getting around. Keep up the good work, don’t worry about the braces, they’re only temporary, and hopefully you’ll really love your smile once they’re off!

I have to agree with the others: you’re a really cool 11 year old. Can I trade my sister for you? Because she’s 11, but not cool. And you are cool. See where I’m going with this?

Yay! ^_^ I feel happy. Again. I’m in the progress of another video. Well… I will be as soon as I get my butt off the computer long enough the tape myself. x.x; Thanks for the comments!

Happy holidays!

~ Dylan

Oh shut up. It’ll eventually go away. She’s 11 for god’s sake. Leave her alone…

… besides, shaving things only make things grow back faster.

You know they lie to you about the headgear. I never wore mine and my teeth are fine now. Also I hope you’re not a huge Gackt fan, the man is good but over rated. He passed his peak when he left Malice Mizer.

Hey Dylan. Caught wind of your post through MetaFilter and I really enjoyed it. People really seem to responding to your honest sense of identity. I like really like Bowie too. I tried Neopets a long time ago, but I was more into the idea than the actual game. I really hope you keep the blogging up. You have a really special voice in the overpopulated world of blogs. Not to give creepy advice but Never quite the cello, because when I was 11 I quit playing trumpet… just seven years later, and I really regret it. I hope you get more space for video. Anyway…

Thanks for sharing

Hey,
I found your video through MeFi. What a cute idea! I want to do video blogging now.
You are quite possibly the coolest 11 year old ever.

I’m 13yrs old, and my littlesister is about your age. You are so much cooler then her, totally. Does my sis have a bowie-shirt? I don’t think so. ^^ Totally love ur Bowie-shirt. He rocks.

Placebo is btw really good, you must hear their new album. :D Sleeping with ghosts. so totally awesome.

anyway, keep up the good work. continue beeing a kewl 11yr old. lol. ^^

Rock on.

/Sara, from Sweden

X.X Oh, god, anonymous person, shut your mouth. Your pathetic insults about my already messed up face don’t affect me. And besides, I’m only 11, so just once again be quiet. Go away, please.

^^; Okay. Now that I’ve said that… Yeah, I’ve heard some Placebo. They’re pretty good. ^^

Hello Uncle Jooooe. My room is always messy. I don’t mind. (:

I need to put a new video up. I promise one this week!

~ Dylan

You’re the… second to coolest 11 year old, after Nevada-Tan. Now ain’t that a compliment.

Dylan,

Great video post… This should definitely be a regular thing. Your blog is getting noticed. Keep doing what you are doing!

Great Stuff! Keep up - or down.

cya

Hey Dylan,

Nice video. I hope I can do one too someday…I’m only seven.

Have a Happy New Year!

Hey you were just on the news! The Person of the week was “bloggers”, and I was watching and there you were!

Just saw you on ABC News. Keep on Rockin’

and have a Happy New Year !

hey Dylan! i saw you on the ABC news! wow! I’m 27 and I don’t even know how to do that crazy stuff you’ve got going on– vlog… going to try to find out more about this stuff. (WHen i was 11 i think i was shooting spitballs at the boys across the street. you rock! keep blogging!) P.S. girls rule

Just saw your feature on TV (-: Congrats on being famous now. Man you are a lot cooler than I remember kids being when I was 11. I like JPOP as well. Your parents probably tell you this but just remember that the internet isnt entirely filled with nice people.
じゃあね。

dylan!!! I have 4 nephews and none are nearly as cool as you. Way to go. I think it’s awesome that your mom and dad support you doing this thing. The video was great. When I read your post about Bush winning the election, I fell off my chair!!! You are smarter than most of the people of voting age. You GO girl. Just be careful out there… creep factor is high in cyberspace. You should do a vid with your dad. He sounds like a cool guy. Cheers to ya. You are now officially famous. ;)

I saw you on the ABC story where you said you hate your smile. I just wanted to say I think you have a beautiful smile and beautiful eyes too.

…Hi, Dylan. Your confidence really charms me. I wish I am as bright as you are. ^^ (Do I sound weird? -_-’)

Hey, Dylan ^ ^ I hope I don’t come across as picky or anything, but for your next video, could it be encoded in some other format besides Quicktime? There’s a lot of codec issues with QuickTime in Linux (which is quite a large market share of your views, most likely), which makes it more difficult than it should be to be able to view .mov. It’s just as easy to encode as .mpg or .avi, and I don’t think that size would be an issue ^ ^;

Sweet job! :) You should be proud of all that you’ve accomplished!

Boring stuff. Blääähh!

Wow. People are obsessed with you. Might have something to do with the fact that you can get to your blog from the article posted on Blogger’s main page. Nice blogging. Can’t say I’m a fan of anything at all that you like, but it’s pretty cool that you’re blogging anyway. Because blogging’s cool. Yup.
