Hey Boogs, During your surgery time, maybe you should hire an editor and have your wife film vlogs a few times a week. I know I speak for many of us when we say we're interested to see your progress. Take it easy. Also, Amy Schumer... really? Dane Cook? Bruh... you're too hard on yourself.
Those who watch ALL his content and generally care about him would find it inspiring... we are all human and struggle with something , I think it would give alot of people hope cheering him on. But I respect him even if he chooses that part of his life to be more private.
Cheers boogie!! If you ever need any support let me know! I suffer from chronic anxiety and depression and have overcome obesity before. I lost 200 pounds through diet and exercise.
I can see it now "Working Out with Francis" its the perfect way to get your workout in and still stream or make videos. I have seen workout videos on Twitch before. You could also do like a weekly workout Francis montage. You actually work out but cut in some Francis "Having fun" working out. Set to Eye of the Tiger of course. What ever you decide to do I am rooting for you my friend.
The moment you are phyiscally able, you take that woman of yours on a honey moon! You both deserve it! Fuck youtube for a week or so. We'll all be here when you get back. Count on it :)
Work Boogie, I am an actor and stuntman. I work on average 12-14 hours a day. When I am busy, I am really busy! Haha But when I am not busy, it's dead. Both myself and my fiancée are working and just found out today that she may be pregnant! Huge news! I'm very excited but she is worried as I believe most women are the first time. I watch every single video you put up because you are my inspiration to keep going and stay positive. You are a beautiful person and I love just sitting down and watching whatever you have to offer. I am truly excited to hear the good news leading up to the surgery. I consider you a friend and fellow filmmaker and I hope to god that one day I could meet you and possibly collaborate on something! I am starting up a production company with a friend of mine who worked on my first ever film with me, "Ping Pong Summer". We have 8-9 scripts and would absolutely love to have you in a few of them! I have been through so much and how you feel and react to things really hits me. I suffer from severe depression and BPD (borderline personality disorder). All results of how deep I get into character. Sometimes the character is so strong I lose myself. But, anyway, I love the videos, I love seeing your view on things, I love you as a creator and actor, keep it up and I am here watching and hoping for the best!
I actually disagree, now don't get me wrong. I think Boogie is amazing and I have the upmost respect for him and everything he does but I disagree with the whole Francis idea, the character isn't funny or entertaining and most if not all of the Francis videos I skip because its a waste of time, now that being said I still open the video so it records a view and I still like the video because I want to help and support him.
What if Family friendly Francis is actually Family friendly Felix?! I have never seen Francis and pewdiepie at the same time together. this post is 100% serious Kappa
On your quick mention of Hawaii, and assuming you've never been there, I've got a couple suggestions: 1. every inch of hawaii is beautiful, but stay away from maui, cause you can barely see the island underneath the shopping malls and golf courses. 2. ohau/honolulu is great but it is very touristy and sometimes lacks the authentic hawaiian feeling, plus traffic can get ridiculous on the highway which is shocking lol. 3. The big island is the real legit unadulterated hawaiian experience IMHO, plus it has the green sand beach and black sand beach which are amazing. The green beach requires 4-wheel drive which you can hire for like $10 or so, but its a bit of a steep walk down from where you park. It's not horrible, but it'll get you huffing quick. Whatever island you pick, keep in mind you can island-hop to see the other islands fairly cheaply and quickly. Some of the shorter trips are like $50-$60/ticket. Just remember to skip golf island.
Doesn't matter if people like Francis or not Boogy, those videos still bring a lot of joy to a lot of people, so carry on with them. Best of luck for your surgery dude
What I really like is that when Francis tell us his truth about games in his harsh way. Destiny, Pokémon, etc. Francis's opinions are awesome to watch, sometimes it's funny sometimes it's funny and damn fucking true!!! I love these vids and Francis, so please continue to make these types of videos, even if you do it monthly I'm still satisfied!! Thanks a lot for you Boogie! You make the internet a better place for me :)
I don't know how to start this but here we go I am 25 years old 367 and afraid every day I become more and more inactive ever since following you is a quiet watching both Francis and normal Boogie videos have a lot of creativity and I feel like I have a lot to offer put fear and uncertainty hold me back you inspire me to reach out become more active realize that there's a place here on RU-vid social media anywhere. I'm going to one of the hardest emotional times of my life if two beautiful children a girlfriend that I was with since high school and the mother of my children because of my depression in fear she has left me and took the children I have since how to learn what is important in life in my eyes realizing that I held myself back I had to learn to go forward the fear is only an obstacle that I must jump my insecurities about my sizes are only that insecurities the way to better yourself is to do it yourself and that's what I have to live by so thank you for showing me no matter how big how small how Goofy or serious every person on this planet has a purpose and a place and I can only say thank you a hundred times and 100 more time but it want to be enough may not be the most appropriate video to say this in what are the time is the only video I have the confidence to comment on I will persevere in my goals and I know you would do the same good to know that they're still people like me out there that play Magic the Gathering Love video games and that are willing to express himself through their art form like your Frances videos much love from the silent fan
I've been watching your rambling videos for a while but have never commented. I'm currently working on my masters thesis and as I'm nearing the end I've been dealing with some pretty rough bouts of anxiety and depression. Watching your videos reminds me that despite the stress and self-doubt we all face daily, we're all in this together and no matter what personal problems you might have, learning to love, forgive, and accept yourself are among the most important things you can do. Thank you for taking me out of my own negative headspace for a while, I wish you all the best on your journey to a healthier life - both mentally and physically.
To be honest I appreciate the more news worthy things that you create. You have a respectful and honest nature and thats why I subbed. The comedy could just be a bonus, but I don't think anyone should have to force being funny. just let that come naturally because it ends up being more creative that way
I don't care about Francis, I like his other videos, but the Francis stuff I don't like. So I simply don't watch it. I don't HAVE to watch all Boogie videos. I upvote and watch the rest, and for what I don't like I simply ignore it :)
startide i think thats as it should be. Theres always gonna be content that you may not like, you aint gotta worship everything a creator pumps out haha. But its cool to support whatever they wanna do, and then like what you like! :)
worry about your surgery if you need to take a break take one we can wait just take your time and get healthy so we can enjoy your videos for even longer
#work hey boogie long time fan first time commenting lol I'm a doorman (bouncer) in the U.K have been since I was 18 I'm now 27 always been a massive gamer in many ways and like you I am a big guy. Just wanted to say thank you because when I get home in the early hours of the morning generally it's you I watch while I'm winding down before i goto bed. Helps me relax and sleep a lot better if I have had a ruff night watching Francis or the rambling videos. So just thanks boogie you are a true legend
I am an electrical engineer that travels the world working in factories to implement control systems. I travel alone most of the time, but my fiancée has been able to come with me on several recent trips. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities I have to see the world, but being on the road alone can get pretty cumbersome. Boogie, your videos, especially the rambling series, are something I practically rely on to keep my spirits up when I am having a tough time out here. I've never met you, but I feel like I am listening to a friend when I watch your videos, and I want to say thanks for doing what you do. Can't wait to see what the future holds for you. Best of luck and lots of love to you and yours.
I'm a 41 y.o. Architect here in São Paulo, Brazil. Things are good, spite the country being in bad shape. Gotta work hard, my dear friend!! Love from Brazil
torloni13 you should subscribe to a channel called Active Self Protection. He makes short very informative videos on how to protect yourself in a deadly situation, especially when a firearm is involved. Also greetings from Puerto Rico.
boogie if u can the next francis video make it FRANCIS GETS A DRONE a cheap 10-30$$ drone should be all francis needs p.s. good luck with the surgery and be safe
Edgy Oskar he's not a millionaire. he has stated on several occasions that he wants to do big stuff, like breakina a house, but money id's the main issue. had he have been a millionaire, that wouldn't have been an issue.
1-Keep Francis, it's how I first learned of you and I still watch him/ those videos, even bringing up the old ones from time to time just for laughs. 2-My 'big boy job' is an electronic engineer and design stuff for cars, typical 40-ish (sometimes more because meetings with people over seas) hour work week. Majority of my youtube 'work' is based around either Roller derby (I post practice and game footage from a helmet cam, though most teams want to keep that private), cooking (just because I like cooking) and gaming (just because it's fun). Compared to big youtubers, I spend very little time on these videos, there is editing involved in all of it, and a typical derby game takes hours to upload, that isn't *active* work for me, if anything it's just time I can't be playing online games without lag, haha. If it wasn't for derby, gym, and family time, I'd be probably be doing a lot more here.
This (I choose to call it an adventure because it truly is) adventure you're on right now, I couldn't be more excited for you! And I'm crossing everything I can that everything works out because you deserve it so much. When you talk about your past growing up, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. When I look at you I only see a strong man who make these youtube videos that means so much for people. These rambling videos are my favorite ones that you make, so thank you for not holding back and letting us know everything thats going on :) What I do for #work I'm right now writing my bachelor thesis in learning disability nurse here in Norway. I have a job too, I work at a housing for grown ups with disabilities. We have staff working 24 hours there and we help them with everything from food to paying bills to hygiene and challenging behavior. I have my last workday this weekend because I'm moving and getting a full-time job working with kids who has disabilities as a learning disability nurse :) And I'm super excited, but also scared because I'm moving far away from my family, but now's the time to try and live somewhere else before I settle down with my fiancee and we have kids, so i'm just super excited. Good luck and I'm crossing my fingers for you and the adventure you're on!
Boogie your 100% correct. I'm no Francis fan. but your personality is relatable, honest, true, therapeutic and above all enjoyable. And loved your content from about 1.5 million sub's. not that new, not that old. but I'm here till you call quits my friend. :-)
Tom Franco he used the right "your" since a personality is something someone has, therefore the possessive form would be right, or did he edit the comment and change it to the right version after you typed that?
Hi guys. Please like this up so Boogie can read it. Don't want this getting lost in the sea of comments. Hey Boogie. I fall into the group that watch both you and the Francis stuff. Some feedback if you're interested. I like the current Francis content because you are parodying the current RU-vid climate. Does it make me laugh as much as the older stuff? Honestly no, but this is an important part of your journey with Francis. I like the softer side and I'm interested to see this story arc. With your surgery it's unrealistic for your fans to think you'll be exactly the same. I actually think you'll attract more subscribers. An example of something I'm tracking lately is the weightloss journey of a RU-vidr named Jirard (That One Video Gamer) - it's inspirational and I appreciate his transparency and willingness to put himself out there. I think a lot of people will respond similarly to your journey. I think you're a really brave and strong person and many of your fans will understand if you can't post as much during your surgery recovery. Focus on your health above anything else. Nobody can enjoy your content if you're dead Boogie. And goodness, get to that Honeymoon! Best of luck. I'm excited and happy for you too x
I do a lot of different things to make money. I work at my brothers farm. I started flipping phones. Starting an import/export business. Plus, I'm breeding Savannah cats. Also, within the next year I'm going to be buying a house and eventually going to get into real estate and renting out rooms and houses. I'm in my young 20s and plan to be completely financially stable with my businesses just doing the work themselves within the next year but as soon as the end of the summer and being able to retire by the time I'm in my early-mid 30s. Once that happens the world is mine I'd be able to do and go where ever I want and buy whatever I want without feeling guilty that I spent money. Coming from a gang background and living completely off of welfare for my entire life, living at the bottom it feels good to finally be making big steps towards a stable life without having to worry whether or not I'll have rent next month or enough money to eat.
Demon Gaming A lesson you will learn is that money will come if you want it enough. In the mean time, chill out and enjoy your life. Life experience will dictate your future endeavours. Don't mean to sound rude, but nobody actually cares about how rich or successful you plan to be. It's nothing personal. You'll figure it out in a few years. Remember- confidence is quiet.
I'm working hard now so I don't have to work hard for my entire life. Working hard now for a few years will be worth it so I can enjoy life and do what I want and be able to provide for my family without having any issues. I made my first comment because Boogie asked us to tell him how busy we are with working.
Demon Gaming Ah rite, my bad. I had a very similar mindset to you once. What I found was that overworking does not translate into disposable income. It's weird, but true. Making money takes time. There's a whole lot to learn. Trust me- take your time, and try to follow the current of your progress. Rushing it or swimming against it just leads to frustration and failure. Beware anyone who tells you that you can make money in a short amount of time. Take my advice or not, but I would stop trying to chase an idea that you will be able to retire by the time you are thirty. Not to sound negative, but that would be beyond difficult. Rather, try to focus on steadily building your financial portfolio, one small project at a time. A single project should take at least 5 years of all of your attention. 100%. Once that is successful, you may or may not want to take up another project. Ignore all that rapper motivation crap about being rich and young. It takes a slow plan, with lots of effort, and over the course of years to become genuinely rich and successful. Trust me. Cut the idea of retiring at 30. Focus on one project you can put your whole heart and soul into, and focus on it 100%. You will save yourself a lot of wasted time and frustration. Don't buy stock, don't buy what others come to you to sell. Sell what you don't have yet. You'll be rich by the time you are 50. Maybe.
Well I completely understand where you are coming from and you are right if you are starting out without any help from someone who is already successful and knows what works and what doesn't when it comes to making money it takes a very long time to be successful. My brother started with just 1 phone and he flipped the phone and kept investing it back into the business and now he is completely set for life owns his own house on a farm with constant money every month coming in that will continue for the rest of his life. Since he is helping me and already has the knowledge about how to do all this it will makes things a whole lot quicker for me to get up to where he is if I just continue with what I plan on doing and what I'm currently starting to do. My brother is only 25 and he started with the phone when he was 19. Took him 6 years to get where he is now. If I continue taking his advice and do my own research it should take me the fraction of the time to be just has successful as he is. I don't listen to rap music can't stand it. Certain projects will take a while to do you are right but there is ways now that I could invest me money that will help me get there a lot faster. That Import/Export business I mentioned that will all be done without me ever touching the product but I would be making triple or quadruple my investment in that and the nice thing is you don't need a lot of money to start doing this. I have learned about this from my brother and I'm going to be doing a lot of research on this business to make sure I am guaranteed to make profits quick. I can't get into specific details but I have seen it work and it is full proof.
I work as a transportation planner at an engineering firm. Pretty enjoyable job. 40 hr.wks but usually no more than that. Having to miss quite a bit of work lately as I am going through chemo for lymphoma.
the previous Francis video was amazing, just because fuck and god dammit isn't shoved into the video francis' comedic ability stretches beyond just breakouts and swearing sprees, Francis can also use cringe and embarrassment combined with funny mistakes or misinterpretations to make great comedy. I see Francis as a cartoon character, kind of from the bugs bunny era, and his freak outs are like his reaction to a simple task he failed comedicaly.
Boogie, I've been watching your videos for a few months now, and I just want you to know how much I appreciate you. Just like you, I come from a really rough childhood, and just like you I want to make the world a better place for similar people. I work as a behavior special education teacher, which means that I get the privilege of working with a bunch of passionate kids who have made some bad choices in life, which is exactly how I was as a kid. As I look ahead to summer break I'm excited for the chance to fest my brain and my heart, but I know that my mind will be with my kids all summer. Thanks for the example you set of working to turn things around. I hope that you and I can continue to touch the lives of those around us in meaningful ways.
I rely on Francis videos for alot of things. They really help me out. Take all the time you need and want, just dont get rid of Francis. I would rather see you take small breaks from him than to see him go completely. I know some people dont like Francis because they are so much more mature than I am but I also know lots of people love him. Please just take breaks when you need them. BTW The Francis videos lately have been some of the funniest ones I've ever seen! Thanks Boog!
I work as a Fire Fighter/ Paramedic. I work construction on my days off full time. I hope for the best for you bud, you and your family deserve it truly.
I Finally started to work full time as a comic artist. I've done a lot of jobs for...not starve to death...but finally I do what I love!! I hope You manage to do all the things You mentioned^^
I work at McDonalds right now but, I really want to be a filmmaker though, so I spend as much time as I can working towords that goal. I take as many classes I can afford at my technical college and make RU-vid videos whenever I can.
Love your videos Boogie! Your true fans will always be here watching every bit of content you put out! I am really enjoying the story ark with francis. Maybe the hitting the phone with the spinner was done 1 too many times but it still added to the cringe of Francis trying to be family friendly and "Entertaining" whilst still being kid friendly! Take care of yourself dude. I make Arcade Cabinets for WORK (YT channel for fun).
Boogie... since we found your channel.... okay so I just tried to type something meaningful for about ten minutes, and the words escaped me. You are an absolute inspiration. The boyfriend and I have gone back to older videos just to see your story unfold. You're an old friend we've never met, who visits our home almost every day, and I personally just want to hug you so hard (with your wife's permission of course lol) but since the best I can do is leave this note, that's what I'll do. I truly hope you read this, and that you know, we're cheering you on in whatever comes your way. We are honored and humbled by your open honesty, and by your presence in our lives. I look forward to seeing the bright future ahead of you unfold, and those "pipe dreams" come to fruition. If there is anyone in this cesspool we call an internet who deserves it, it's you.
Boogie, we would all rather you slow down and only post two or three times per week if we knew you were bettering your health than you maintaining your current work load and losing all the progress you've made. It doesn't have to just be a sacrifice you have to make, it's a sacrifice that we'd love to make with you.
the Francis sketches are not my kind of humor but I like the rambling bits enough to stay subbed. Always good to hear from you, looking forward to see the healthier you! Papa bless
Haha, I think Josh is saying they don't like Francis and Francis isn't really of substance i.e. it's not real, not really important (compared to the rest of Boogie's videos). I assume superboy is saying that Francis is responsible for making boogie popular. I'm not a fan of the Francis videos, I don't watch them, but I do admit that it is what made me check out Boogie's channel. It's probably what drew the majority of viewers to him but now that he has a rather big audience, he has to keep them as well as try to make a living. Making Francis videos take up a lot of time, planning, cleaning up etc. so I don't think it's worth it, especially if they don't make money anymore.
I'm 27, I work as a seafood department manager for Kroger, which is a grocery store for those who don't know, 40+ hours a week. Been there since 2008! I've also started a RU-vid channel myself to make videos from time to time. Along with that I have a 4 year old son and take care of my loving mother who is going through cancer right now. Besides the actual job tho the rest isn't work to me, just things I love to do and things I'm lucky and happy to do! Your great Boogie, take the time you need to get well and I think I speak for everyone when I say we'll all still be here for you! Stay well man!
Right now I'm working on my finals (only one left before I get to go home!), and it's stressing me to the gills (it's stats, ugh), but coming here, and hearing all of these stories about how things are going well for you just made my day. I always love these rambling videos, and I sincerely hope the rest of those doctors visits go right, man. Keep us updated!
Im 22, I am currently in the middle of my Biomedical Science degree in Maynooth University AND I work part time in New Look, so college during the week and working weekends I rarely have a day off. I enjoyed this video and I wish you the very best on your journey to happy fulfilled life.
I work for a chemical company called Camco. I drive a forklift for them Monday thru Friday and pull the packing for the orders. We run things like laundry soap, dish soap, all purpose cleaners, oven and grill cleaners. Things of that nature. Everyone kinda thinks I have it easy because I'm on a forklift all day, but no one seems to get how hard I actually work. I have several deadlines I have to meet every day. Deadlines that need to be met between putting extra packaging away from finished orders, keeping the lines stocked, keeping the lines running, searching through 2 huge warehouses for the items I need to finish orders, correcting inventory mistakes, correcting finished good mistakes. There is a lot that I do every day. Here's what I believe about you though my friend. You need to do what is best for you. I don't know about anyone else and can only speak for myself, but regardless of whether or not you take a break I will still be here when you return. you getting and being healthy is what matters. Your recovery matters. I've seen people go through this surgery and the recovery is not pretty and it isn't easy. So whatever you decide to do, make sure you put yourself and your health first. Your true fans will be here when you get well and return. I'm pretty confident that everyone just wants you to be happy and healthy. You can always make money in one way or another. You can have several jobs. But you only get one life. And I feel like yours will end up being a long and happy one. Thanks for the update. Till next you post a video.
WORK: I'm 27, I have 3 kids, married since 2011, living on our own since we got married, and I work third shift at a rubber and plastics molding factory. A lot of times we have normal 40 hour weeks, but here recently, they've been having some serious orders come in for my department in particular so we've been having mandatory Saturdays and optional Sundays. They also have optional coming in or staying over 4 hours throughout the week on a regular basis. Granted the money is nice (not spectacular, but still better than it could be), but sometimes it's rough making sure my wife and I have time together especially since my wife is working as a swing shift manager at McDonald's. A lot of times, it's "Hi" "Bye, Love you". Weekends are mostly spent relaxing and/or getting things around the house done, since we're in the middle of paying on a place to live (be done next year :) ), going out and doing things that cost money just a lot of times isn't an option. It's a hard line to follow (money vs time together) sometimes when you're behind on bills, (especially if you have the means of getting rid of those bills quickly, but being a human with a sleep dependency and relationships is a thing).
I'm currently at work right now. I work full time at Ford, driving parts in and out of a room. It is the most boring job I've ever had, and plan on making a chance soon. I never realized an easy job could be so soul sucking. I can wait to see the content you make once you're more physically able. I really want to see a Boogie Travel vlog, and even an exercise vlog when you're back to work. But most importantly, take time for yourself. We love you and your content, and you've got to be healthy for us to enjoy it, and you need to take time to relax for you to be healthy, or you'll work yourself to death, even once you're physically able. Besides, relaxing gives you time to come up with awesome video ideas, and I can't wait to see what you come up with.
Hey Boogie! Love your videos, all of them that I see. The Francis ark is funny I enjoy it allot! For work I do 40 a week in an air bag assembly facility to pay the bills and up till recently I was doing three RU-vid videos a week but have cut back to two, though that's the opposite of what I want to do, because my life is just out of order and it has to come first as hard as that can be lol. Please keep up the great work and take some time to relax DAMMIT! LOL
I'm 29 years old, Forensic Medical Examiner Technician and damn what a waste of my potential talents, I work sometimes 55 hours a week sometimes more, I feel like I'm wasting my life doing something that yeah sure I enjoy but it isn't what I was meant to do, then I found youtube and was able to somewhat put on there what I like to do customizing Hot toys etc... it's impossible for me at the moment to really grow my page but it all takes time, point is dude you're on of the biggest youtubers and have a good following so just keep doing you and enjoy it while it lasts regardless how long it does, you make people happy
Working. . . My job is a graphic designer and freelance artist. Everyday is a grind trying to stay relevant and find clients. It sadly leaves little time for my new family but I just enjoy making art everyday :)
RU-vid is more a experimenting place for me. I am more designer than illustrator. I work for a t shirt company and the art is much different than what I post on here.
Boogie, what I do for work is similar to you - I work constantly, mostly from home. I manage social media accounts for entertainment properties (Broadway shows, Off-Broadway shows, TV, movies, etc.). I just had the surgery on March 17 (VSG). They told me the same thing - you will have to slow down, you will have to take time for yourself. They were right, but they also don't understand how we work - how people on the internet work. It's way easier to build it into your life when you work from home and when doing research, as you were talking about, is so inherent to the way you live your life and carry out your day. I was working the day of the surgery from my phone in the hospital. Granted, I had a really smooth recovery all things considered, but if I was able to work 2 hours after waking up, I bet you'll be able to work at least a week after your surgery - even if it is only tweeting or streaming or something else you can do from a comfortable position. Now, that doesn't mean that nothing has changed in the past 2 months - many things have. I exercise every day, I make time for it. I eat better. I make time for that, too. But it's not as hard as you might think - your body chemistry is different. You feel different. You feel better when you exercise, so you adjust to make it happen. You feel better when you eat properly and frequently, so you just sort of do it. I'm not saying this was easy - it was the very opposite of that, and the first week post-surgery I was more depressed than I have been in years. BUT - this job is what helped me through it, and I bet your situation will be similar. If you have questions or ever want to vent, I'm @LauraVogel on twitter. Wishing you all the best - and try not to worry about it too much. That said, making some videos in advance isn't a bad idea, either. ;)
Moon Goose crawleth backeth to whichever rock you came from bud. Nobody likes your grammar nazism. Do you have nothing better to do then troll youtube comment sections looking for someone to "auto-correct". May i suggest you get a job and do something productive, maybe a proof reader for Macquarie dictionary seeing as though thats how you spend your days anyway. Cheers bud enjoy your meaningful life here in the comments.
I'm currently working at an emergency homeless shelter for Veterans. I left my office job about 6 months ago and haven't looked back. I love what I do and couldn't imagine doing anything else. Currently working overnight shifts 6pm-6am with 3 days on and 4 days off (with the additional overnight shift picked up a couple times a month).
I'm a software engineer. I usually work 10am to 7pm but sometimes I come in at 11 or 12 and sometimes I stay till 8 or 9, so my work day can range from 7 to 10 hours. The rest of my day is just chilling with youtube, netflix, and anime, or playing games on my PC, while thinking about the exercise I should be doing. I sit on my ass at home, I sit on my ass driving to/from work, and I sit on my ass at work. I generally work hard programming UIs or back-end stuff, but I have to be in the mood. Early in the work day I am probably more easily distracted but then once I get really focused I don't even want to leave until I'm done and thus end up frequently staying late.
much jealousness. Though its stupid cause i honestly gave up trying to learn programming and such. May I ask was this your dream job and did you go to college for it or kinda just learn yourself?
I wanted to work on video games, and it's far from too late for that, but it's hard to give up security to take a chance on making it elsewhere. I went to college for a BSCS with a focus on computer graphics, but ended up working in another area of CS.
wassup boogie. i work 24/7 , i work from home and i'm a stay at home dad. which means i don't get much sleep. i'm a machinist by trade and i also do cad/cam work. i got to have the pleasure of designing some vaping products for some local companies. very much enjoyed working with them and even made a lot of friends because of it. with current FDA regs i'm not able to design anything new for them but i am hoping things will change and i'll get the opportunity to do some more. it feels really good to know i helped in getting people to stop smoking. currently looking for other projects to take on. was even debating starting a youtube channel myself just to have something to do, maybe have some fun with it like you.
I just got a job and its the first time I'm working. I'm a cashier and I'm actually kind of enjoying it thus far. I know that it is going to eventually become something I don't look forward to, but after two years of not having a job I'm very happy to be getting out of the house and being more productive and finally getting money to do stuff and buy the things that I want. I'm glad that you're excited and realize what you're going to go through will be tough, but in the end it'll all work out for the better if you keep with it. I wouldn't mind a skinny Francis, because I'd know that Boogie is living a much better life.
I'm a CNC machinist working in manufacturing. Business is extremely busy and we're working those 60+ hour weeks. Very little time for friends and family, but it's going towards a vacation this weekend :)
Working. I'm a freelance concept artist and illustrator for games. I'm currently working on a fantasy card game, a 2D brawler, a graphic novel, and some other side projects with new clients. I work a lot. However, I take off every weekend unless it's crunch time and allocate myself 2 hours everyday for exercise, since sitting all day is simply not good for my health. I rarely comment on RU-vid videos, but Boogie's question and situation spoke to me!
To answer your question about what I do for a living, I drive a truck in the oil field and I work 72 hours a week. My wife and I also own a comic book store. So we literally work seven days a week. We have been together for 13 years and have never taken a vacation together. I hope your surgery goes well. I'm afraid of roller coasters so I do not ride them. So want you can ride the roller coaster for me. Back to my work schedule, that is how I found you. I watch your videos every night on the way home from work. On top of my regular work schedule I drive an hour and a half to and from work. And that's when I watch your videos. All of them. You're very entertaining and you make my lengthy drive home livable so I thank you for your time. Be well boogie. - MR. X
I've worked 3rd shift (1am to 9am) for the past 4 years. My husband works 2nd shift (3pm to 11pm) so our 3yr old is always watched and cared for by one of us. we are also currently 31 weeks pregnant with our son. So between job work and as you call it background or house work...there really does seem to be more hours than rest/exercise.
I work at a grocery distribution center. No AC, gets pretty warm in there in the summer. 10-12 hour shifts, but I always watch your videos, they bring me joy! I watch your new videos on my lunch breaks all the time. Keep it up! You're my favorite RU-vidr! 😊😊😊
Life is too short. We humans are not meant to spend so much time wasting our lives working away, not enjoying all that life has to offer. If we were creatures that exist for thousands of years, it might be different. But we are so fragile, that our existence can be determined in a matter of seconds, getting hit by a drunk driver, having a stroke, a heart attack, getting struck by lightning? There are millions of ways each one of us can cease to exist, we are but a fleeting memory in the cosmic story that is taking place around us. We are only ever meant to exist a short amount of time after which we are gone forever. Time is long, but life is short. Live, Love, and Be Happy, there are no do-overs, you only have one life, so make it a good one.
It would be unwise to wager happiness presuming that which you cannot know. I myself do not believe in an afterlife, but I do not condemn others that do. I only say that live your life as if there is only one. If you find yourself in the afterlife, you may be pleasantly surprised, for you will have disproven the idiom that one cannot both have his cake and eat it.
It is the way our society is though. If you want to live that sort of lifestyle where you obtain and own property, buy and grow food for your family, and buy consumer products, etcetra, you must work. If you weren't born into money that is.
Dude... I am here because of you... your creativity, your wit, your logical and pragmatic approach to many of the topics that you discuss but most importantly I am here because of your character... looks, physiqueis are an ever constant change through life... but character never changes.... I'll be here as long as you are here :)
HOLY CRAP What did I miss out on with DDP? Was he just an inspiration from his wrestling days or all the work he has done after or did you get the chance to meet him? Sorry big wrestling fan and I know that guy is doing God's work right now with all the people he's been able to help. Would love to hear that story my man.
You could do an "Exercise with Boogie" series. That way the community could get in shape with you! To answer your question, I went from working two jobs (a janitor at a middle school and a Gamestop employee), to teaching English in Japan. Never stop heading toward your goals, no matter how long it takes man!
I run a machine that produces contact lens. It's a huge global corporation who's investment in the UK hang's by a thread because of competition with Puerto rico. They run the same machines but pay their staff less than half what we get. I get that You-tuber's fear for their future prospect's but anyone who work's for a large corporation, work's in the knowledge that our job's may eventually be taken over by Robots or investment in poorer country's. Very few people in this world are lucky enough to say they have actual job security, so your not alone Boogie.
Working in IT, living in sunny Scotland. Got a 12 wk baby boy, a girlfriend, a Weimaraner and life's good!! Ps...not working too hard. Have a belter of a weekend Boogie!
Just graduated college, I work in Television and Film in Los Angeles. I just worked on a show called "I'm Sorry" coming to TruTV this summer. Be sure to watch it and say "huh, one of my fans worked on that show" Also I'm involved in pre-production for a musical called "Valley Girl" and another show, "Heathers" (Yes based on the original Heathers)
Currently I work as an animal nurse 40-50 hours a week in addition to going to school for video game audio. But I was also just offered a job in the service industry with better hours and pay that would allow me to focuse on school more.
