I hope your living situation improved. All I came on here to say was, damn, you’re one hell of a good writer. Perhaps you should take it up and do something more with it?

So what ended up happening with this?

And, sure, leaf-raking probably wouldn’t be all that profitable out here, but can you imagine how much business you’d get if you set up what would become the only English-speaking gardening service in southern California?

Would it be too “Californian” to say put out the good vibe and all good things will come to you? Yes? Well, ok then, I’ll just say that worrying about something is the first step to doing something about it! But you have to make that second step :) Otherwise hell ya, my darling, you’ll end up living at home like my 50yr old brother.

Happy Valentines. Hope someone nice is waxing your pole today. (LAUGH:) My “Bo-ism” moment ;)

Man, you vetted out my comment about eating better stuff to feel better and going back to a white wall background? Don’t blame ya, I didn’t mean to do a Woody Allen film critic job on you but, yeah, people don’t want morose so much when combined with full on swearing, they want you to keep it real, sure, but they also want to feel uplifted or at least share in the outrage. I figure right now they want to see the fight back – and this would be a damn good time to stage one because everyone’s youtube output has slowed down so much in the past few months, it’s freaky. And screw LA – you either mesh with some pretty ugly gears or you get ground up by them.

Bring back the orange!

Best of.

This response might be late – however warranted. You got a few good points….especially about the fact that the inherent lact of “control” is turning your squash into soup. My hopes to you in your endeavors. You’ve got talent in the ‘wit’ department, I’m sure there are people in your life that are direct contributors to your maniacal banter – keep ‘em around. I will have to admit – as a part-time Utoob junkie I’ve watched your vids and noticed changes (aside from the upward momentum in video quality) and I’ve enjoyed them.

Independence is the most awesome responsibility one can undure – from what I’ve noticed, you’re grabbin’ it by the balls already. Do some of that self-realization crap….soul search, whatever you want to call it. You’re there dude.

Don’t worry ’bout the Utoobers out there – they’ll manage. Get your situation up-to-speed first.

Best of luck. Write back if you want.

I think you need white walls and better food to get the happy Boh3m3 back into the frame. Or, hey, you know, film school. You would nail a scholarship hands down.

Hey Boh3m3,

I’m commenting here on your most recent video. Probably because my current browser hates me and won’t let me comment there. But you were talking about that substance you supposedly lost that made your previous videos so neat. I’ve been watching you for about a year now. I never comment. I’ve never seen the need to. But I love watching your videos. I think you’re witty and insightful. I think I sound creepy now, but I’m going somewhere with this I promise. You wonder what you’ve been lacking, well I’ve been thinking that too. I noticed you’ve hit a slump lately. But I still watch because I think you’re magnanimous. If you weren’t no one would be watching you to bitch about you suddenly not being “cool” any more. But you’re still cool. My opinion, however you take it, is that you’ve just lost your passion for youtube. You’re still witty, you’re still cute and funny and all sorts of adjectives I could throw in here, but you’ve become burdened by it. Therefore losing your spontaneity. This makes me sad because youtube was your way of busting into acting and show-business if I remember correctly, and you used to post every single day. It makes me sad because maybe this part of your life is winding down. It’s just weird to wittiness. Like one of those relationships you go through and you know it’s not working but you’re still in it hanging on to whatever that zesty-craziness you felt in the beginning hoping that by clinging like a face-hugger alien you’ll somehow rekindle it.

This is purely speculation, but don’t you find as you’re becoming busier and your extraneous activities become more and more time consuming, you feel less and less inclined to make a video until you read the “Where have you been?” messages? You want to when you’re inspired to say something, do something, but when you do you don’t have the time?

As for your blog, since I’m here I felt obligated to read a bit. Ah, I too am going through that “Oh shit I’m responsible for my whole life now” shock. It sucks. Looking for a place sucks. And most of all it’s the bullshit and red-tape that gets to me. That’s what the bureaucratic butt-fuckery of life is. Bullshit, and red-tape. My dad told me that when I was little. I regret not taking it more seriously, because as you said “the looming responsibility of independence” is like a weight. A giant stupid weight.

Good luck.

hello hello. i just watched the last video, and as a bit of a lurker i thought it was time to do my part in the Save Boh3m3! campaign. getting to the point: i think people like you because you remind them of themselves and yet still manage to redeem their worst qualities. you’re the secret personality we lurkers wish we had, the loser (hem. i think you’re cool, yet untrendy ;)) that sits at home and makes videos but manages to be articulate and amusing. i hope that’s clear.
i’m no expert, having mostly gone through your videos randomly, but perhaps your videos were better in the past (if indeed they were) simply because you didn’t care what others thought of you. now you’re a star, and the pressure is growing. perhaps you need an agent, or at least a masseuse.

i suggest following your own crazy brain. it seems to lead in interesting directions. we don’t really matter. you do.

best of luck in ignoring the masses. i hope you find a home. (come to canada! we have leaves AND snow!)
