Alright, I know I shouldn’t be giving them any more attention. So I’m gonna leave it at this. I just got an email from one of my viewers who watches a lot of different motorcycle vloggers. He subscribes to me….and most of the guys who “hate” me. And he just sent me this email….so I’m gonna share it with ya’ll. And I swear on my son’s life that neither I, nor any of my “real life” friends wrote this. I just got it as a youtube msg from a subscriber I haven’t talked to much in the past.

Dear M,
I just spent the last 2-3hrs watching all these vids from the ( YT vlogger m13 hater crew) and reading ALL the comments about how god-like you think you are !

I was going to leave comments on these guys vids in support of you, but i dont want to add to the already “childish hater mob mentality bandwagon” they have about your channel / forum, so im only sending this to you…

The haters just keep going on about how they hate the way you like to have alot of sub’s, and how they dont care about numbers, yet THEY all know exactly how many THEY have! Just look at how many of these guys did a “wow i got a 100 subs now video”…! They all want more, they all wanna be bigger and better than m13, they all wanna be a YT partner like you……… i wonder why

You are great character, you make YOUR OWN style of vids that none of them can do.
Your quality of filming, topics, jokes, animals, daily life etc is far more entertaining than their normally quite mundane videos.

They say “oh he never responds to the comments under his vids” if i had 300+ comments like you get on a vid i couldnt answer them all ( and i got alot of free time! ) Those haters can do that because they only get 10-30 comments a vid. I respond to 99% of my vid comments because i only get 10-20 comments a vid, and maybe 1 new sub if comment back.
Ah ha, you see, i proved a point, even though i say i dont care how many subs i get, i still want them, haters are just the same really, they just dont realize it!

They go on about how you’ve asked for donations, and how greedy that is, yet both times i asked you to let me see for free you were very gracious and accomodating, that just proves theyre wrong.
If they dont wanna help and support a fellow vlogger who is in need of funds then why do they call themselves a community all the time. You have given me  DAYS of entertainment.
And to be honest i’ve needed it this year, no job no money, but yr vids always make me laugh dude!

Im honestly very disapointed in these guys, i still have to watch their vids as it’s all that is available to me, but now i feel like im watching a bunch of jealous bored kids.

I just wanted you to know, i (and my Mrs who dosnt even like bikes) love your vids, your an entertainer dude, dont change a thing. Please continue being just who you are, thats who you were ment to be

Your friend,
*****.

P.S. Hugs to Jade and ya Mrs.
PPS. i must be a slow typer, this took me over an hour…….lol

Hey guys.  Still trying to deal with the new stresses and pressures of having a new family. Not gonna lie….it mostly sucks. But I enjoy hanging out with my son (in moderation).

My son is getting easier and easier to care for as he gets older…..so I’ve decided to take on more teaching jobs. Try to get my bank account growing. At present I have 9 dollars in it. That’s my life savings…..kinda crazy. But for the last year I’ve only been working less than 20 hours a week.

I’m going to announce my next pay-per-view series soon. The money will go towards a new camera, an overdue tune up for the ninja…..and then perhaps I’ll spend some on my son (priorities).

The good news is that I’m now getting subscribers and viewers more than ever. And the numbers are increasing at a faster and faster rate.  I used to get 50 new subscribers a week…..recently I was getting around 300 per week.  If this keeps up then that will be good for me and my family.

I want to thank you for taking an interest. And for viewing my videos. Some people have said they are “stale” recently….but I’ve rewatched my old vids and they are about the same as what I’m doing now. Also….if this pay-per-view series sells well…..then I’ll take some time off to make some truly epic videos….I have some great ideas, honestly.

June 26th is my last day of work….then I have about 3 weeks off. So I should go pull my 9 dollars out of the bank and go wild with it! LOL, nah….I’ll be alright. I’m a bit short because I replaced all 4 tires on my Suzuki Swift. But I’ll be ok.

EDIT: Like with every year when I mention buying something….the haters are coming out of the woodwork. I think if an artist sells a painting…..no one calls them a beggar….but if a video producer spends hours and hours making some videos….and sells them….then all of a sudden he is a beggar? Give me a fucking break. IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT…..THEN GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! Real fucking simple folks. I don’t like most of….Renneto’s videos (for example)….so I don’t watch them. I DON’T  go to his channel and insult him…..if I did then I’d be a retard.

Hey guys. Things are going fairly well for me right now with regards to my home life…..but to be honest one day is so different to the next. One day it’s hell….one day it’s great…..but I’m pretty sure that’s what marriage is.

My school is mostly shutting down for summer vacation. They only have a few English classes and they are giving them to the senior foreign teacher. Which isn’t me. So that means I’ll have 2 MONTHS of no work. Unless I can find something before then. My wife says I should use the time to make some really kick ass videos. But I think I should get a better job.

Then again I plan on making another pay-per-view series. One where I don’t have to worry about what I film….or what I say……or what music I use. The plan is to make it first…..and then make a video selling it. Unlike the Canada series where I sold it first and THEN went out and made it. This way I’ll only sell the series if I know for sure it is quality. And again….if you don’t want to pay…..then don’t. But nowadays you need to be so careful of what you put up to YT especially as a “partner”. I miss my older videos where I could do anything.

So if enough people buy that series….then I can probably use the vacation time to really improve my channel.

Or maybe I’ll just get a new job in the next couple of weeks….and if so forget everything else in this post.

Hey guys. Sorry for not posting in so long. Sorry Atlas. I’ll try to write something every week or two regardless of what’s going on in my life.

So….what’s new with me? For the last few months my wife and I have been adjusting to living with a little white worm that cries and shits…..otherwise known as a “baby”.

We’ve pretty much gotten the hang of it. The biggest problem was the lack of sleep for my wife (we sleep in seperate rooms so at least one of us can sleep). But now I sleep with Jade for 2 nights then my wife for one. She needs more rest than I do as she’s also breast feeding….and that is tiring.

Now that we’ve started to understand how to live with a child and not go crazy. We are starting to look at the future…..and the most important thing now is money.  I don’t make enough in a month to support my family. Which doesn’t make me feel great. So back to the old job search. Maybe I can just find some morning hours…or perhaps another job all together…..but yes…..still teaching.

I have some ideas for creating a “Taiwan Motorcycle Tour” company. But my friend who wants to make it with me…err…..you know what I mean……is never at home. So perhaps I need to find a new partner in crime.

Other than that my family is happy and healthy and if you’ve read this far than thank you for caring.

Hey guys! It’s about time I made some shirts or something as people have been bugging me for them for over a year now. I’ve spent a few days working on a shop. You can read about it in my forum here: http://m13online.com/forum/index.php?topic=2920.0

It’s difficult to take a picture of a baby smiling when they are under two months old. As their smiles are somewhat rare. But my wife got lucky and took a picture just as Jade was giving a big smile!

Here it is (real pic of my son): http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/1444/dsc039085830590iy5.jpg

Hey guys, life is going smoothly enough. My wife and I are getting into the hang of being parents (she does all the work and I don’t hit her…..much).  And although I’m busy, I’m still making new vids. I’m not making as many as before…..but I feel the quality is better. You’d think my vids would become worse as I ran out of things to talk about…..doesn’t look like that’s going to happen any time soon. I’ve got 3 weeks vacation coming up, which I am very excited about. I’ve been writing down video ideas for months now…..ones that need a bit extra planning and perhaps a 3rd person camera view as well. They should be fun.

Went for a ride today with my racer friend who rides the 150cc NSR. We meet up with some other 150s and rode with them for a bit. The guy directly in front of me crashed…..I got it on video from just a few feet away. Not going to say how bad the crash is….you’ll have to wait for the vid.

Oh and I put the racer on a 50cc scooter and then challenged him to a race on grass. Got a little footage of that…..it was funny. He crashed no less than 4 times. hehe.

I rode with a group the other week. Met them at a biker hang out. They were all on CBRs, GSXRs, R1s and R6s. “True” sport bikes. I started to ride with them and the quicker guys tried to pull away from me…..so I followed them and we left most of the group far behind…..then I passed their “quick” guys and beat them to the bottom of the mountain. They were all confused and talking trying to figure out why my “budget” bike could not only keep up with them….but leave  them  behind as well. I felt great.

I need to focus on work a bit more. I know they aren’t happy with me as I’m not putting in the extra time at work due to my home responsibilities…..but now that Jade is getting older he’s a bit more easy to handle (he sleeps at night more and less in the day).

I’m working on the T-shirts as well. Also looking into importing a couple of different items to sell in Taiwan. I need to start some kind of extra income. I hope in the future I can work less and focus on my videos a bit more.

Thanks for sticking around guys.

Hey guys, been awhile. First off let me apologize for roundabout asking for money for my birthday. You guys gave very generously back when I needed it to go to Canada….and I still appreciate that. I knew it was too soon to hint at giving again….but you know how it is….Birthday, Christmas, new baby, and no money…..that combination can cause people to do things that go against their normal character.

Anyway, life is fine. I’m sick at the moment….had a cold for over a week. My wife is just getting it now. And Jade (my son) seems like he might be getting it as well. Nothing like a sick newborn. I have a 4 day weekend coming up. And starting Jan 21st, I have 3 weeks off from work for winter vacation! I have some truly wicked video ideas….I’ve been writing them down. I have at least 3 that are as funny as Biker Waves or better. But we’ll see.

Oh, and here’s a pic of Jade that you’ve all been asking for: http://img509.imageshack.us/my.php?image=babyjadepz9.jpg

So my son was born on Nov 9th (11,9). And all is going well now. My wife is still staying at a post pregnancy care place. It’s like a hotel, but they have nurses that take care of your baby so you can rest when you want to. Asians are smart. After they have a baby instead of tiring themselves out further and destroying their bodies…..they instead rest for a solid month eating nothing, but special health foods (no salt or sugar for a month). My wife is happy healthy and so is Jade. I am visiting her every day in the hotel/hospital thingy. And taking care of my dogs and working. Plus I have a few new games that I’m trying to play…..and I’m finding that I don’t have enough time to do half the things I want to. Oh well, at least I’m too busy to spend any money. I’d put up a picture of my baby……but he’s ugly. And I hate it when parents show me their ugly babies and then wait for me to say how cute they are…..I don’t want to put you all in that position. Laterz!

Well she’s been in labour for about 24 hours now….or longer. The contractions are regular, but she isn’t dilated. And the doctor says if she doesn’t have the baby in the next 6 hours…..he’s going to cut open her tummy…..sigh. Oh, and we had planned on her staying in the hospital new mother hotel….thingy. But our hospital is full. So we found another and it costs the same…but is older and offers less services. These added stresses aren’t going so well with my wife. Not to mention her damn husband is at home writing on his vlog…..the asshole. (I came home to feed/walk the dogs, and then I need to buy her dinner).

Oh, and it’s raining for the first time in a loooong time. And not just raining, but flooding. Rain symbolizes new life and birth…..doesn’t it? I would’ve still rather had a nice sunny day. Sigh.
