Dear Diary,
The date is September 1, 2013, and this is my first entry.
I've decided I'm going to start keeping an online video diary of my life because I make
so many for other people's enjoyment. It's time to start doing something for myself.
You know what I'm saying!
I've been kinda busy actually. I went to New York City for the first time. It was cool
though because I got to hang out with some of my friends from high school.
But the main reason I was there is because I was picking up these right here: Google
Glass.
I was actually one of the Google Glass #IfIHadGlass participants. I had to go to New York City
because they won't ship the Google Glass out. You have to go to LA or New York City to pick
it up.
They're pretty cool and actually all this footage that you're seeing right here I shot
on Google Glass. The Glass does have some drawbacks. For one, I look like a gosh darn
fool, but some other drawbacks: it only shoots in 720p and basically if you have a phone,
you can pretty much do everything on glass, except for a lot faster.
I would just wait it out. While I was in New York City, I met MaxNoSleeves. I also saw
a guy wearing 12-inch heels, which I hear is pretty much the norm in New York City.
I don't know if I could ever live in New York City though. It's a cool place to visit. It's
just so fast and so busy all the time. Plus, if you make $100,000 there, that's minimum
wage.
I also visited Los Angeles for the first time. I was over at the YouTube Space LA shooting
some videos. And that was an amazing experience. I met a lot of people.
I met Casey Curtiss from ShotScience. I met the Professor from the And1 Mixtape. Got a
picture with Christina Milian. Just balling, just taking pictures with Christina Milian
for no reason.
I met a ton of beauty gurus there. I'm trying to make BroMakeup a thing. Think about it.
I don't know if my subscribers would like it, but I'm thinking about coming with the
BroMakeup though.
I also met some fellow Gators: Cody Johns, he's a popular Viner and Brodie Smith. Brodie
is the man though. So I'm definitely planning on doing a bunch of videos with some of those
people so be on the lookout for those, especially Brodie because Brodie's just a couple
of hours away from me.
I drove to Mississippi ten hours to see my grandma turn 80.
What is, what is that?
It's a video camera.
You videoing me?
Yeah.
What?
It was kinda cool because all the family members came out and it's always good to see your
family.
Yes, I still have free gas, I still have a free car and free insurance until the end
of the year because the Fiesta Movement is still strong and going on.
This month's theme was adventure and for my adventure I was supposed to go bungee jumping,
but I did not go bungee jumping because apparently in Florida, a bungee jump above 75 feet is
illegal.
So, my program coordinator he's like "You just wanna go skydiving?"
Yes! That's what I wanted to do in the first place. DAHECK! Let's go skydiving though!
And I told him, I was like "Look, I have these friends from high school. They go skydiving
every week."
And so he hooked it up. I drove about an hour and a thirty minutes to Skydive Sebastian.
Next thing I know, I'm signing my life away, saying my family can't sue if I die.
And then next thing I know, I'm jumping out a plane. Now of course there were some steps
in between. This is probably the only time I would be comfortable having another man
behind me for an extended period of time.
But I will say this. I was not scared. I was not scared at all. But, I didn't know we were
going to be jumping from so high. While we were going up in the plane, I was looking
out the window and I was like:
"Are we jumping yet? This is high!" The guy next to me was like:
"Nah, this is 2,000. We're going to be jumping in about 11,000 more feet."
Now I actually tried to say Throw Me The Alley as well as do the Magruder Pose while skydiving.
It didn't really work out as I had planned. Why don't we just take a look at some of the
footage.
Now I'm not going to lie, by the time that I landed I was feeling very nauseous, but
I would go skydiving again. I'd recommend it, but I would not do it with someone attached
to me. I wouldn't do it tandem.
What else is new?
Football is back! I am VERY happy about that! Out of all my years of life, this felt like
the longest amount of time that football has been gone.
I don't know what happened. Maybe it's just me. Maybe it's my diet. Florida, we're looking
good. We just beat Toledo. So if we just win the games we're supposed to win, who knows
what could happen?
Also, I have complete confidence the Dallas Cowboys will win the Super Bowl. I'm not even
playing games. I'm not playing games. Mark it. Book it. Scooter Magruder said it first
in his first Dear Diary entry. Let's go!
But until the next entry remember:
Real guys keep diaries.
I'm a grown man.
