About Myself
Welcome to the site, I'm Zachary Love and this is going to be 'All About Me!' What i mean by that is simple, I'm just gonna tell you some information about myself, add a few links, and put a splash of color over it so it looks appealing. I like to think of myself as an appealing person, and after reading this, I hope you agree.
The first thing you will probably notice about my picture is probably the background. Was i right, I hope so. Yes, I took this picture in my kitchen, that's where I spend most of my time, considering the computer is in there. I would like to say that I have my own computer, but for now I will be sharing the computer with my sister. I plan on getting my own laptop computer, along with some software i've been wanting, but that's after I get a job, after the tennis season is over.
I will get more into my hobbies/sports later, but for now, let's just start with the basics. As of right now, i'm 17 years old, waiting as patiently as possible to turn 18 on July 20th of 2011. My plan, after I get a job, is to invest my money wisely and hopefully get my own place. My friends already agreed to get a place with me so the rent/unilities are cheaper. What i'm hoping will happen, is that i'll get a good enough job so I don't have any financial issues right from the start. I seriously want to get out of my currently living situation, with my parents, and start making my life what I want it to be.

Career Ambitions
The plan I have currently is to graduate high school and then get my bachelors degree in Motion Graphics through a Graphic Design program. I have only toured one college (AI of Kansas City, which is actually is Lenexa, KS) and I plan to tour some more this summer, but when i toured the Art Institute of KC, I really liked how they had there facility set up. They had small classes, no more then 40 students per class and that would make me more willing to share my thoughts/opinions with others. I don't want to get swallowed in a large 100+ student class. I know i'm not the best and I like asking for help when I need it, so the Art Institue of KC looked awesome!
Sports/Hobbies
As i mentioned earlier, I play tennis. I can get more in depth with that now, since i'm on the section where I talk about that stuff. I decided to play tennis this year because I didn't like being stuck at home, with nothing to do, and complaining about being home all the time get's boring and, quite frankly, annoying, after awhile. So I decided to play my first sport, my junior year! It's really fun and I plan to enjoy every minute i'm on the courts playing a match. As you might not know, I am larger then anyone else on the team (I have to be the first to notice, right?) so hopefully playing tennis will help my resolution to loe some weight.
A hobby, if you can call it that, I have picked up recently is trying to lose some weight. Joining tennis will definetly help me with my journey to lose weight. I have a blog, which I mostly keep for record, where I will post my weight and what i'm currently doing/not doing to try to lose weight. Hopefully by July, I will have lost, at least, 50 lbs. I want to lose around 80 lbs but i'm not going to bet large sums of money on losing that much weight in 5 months. It can probably be done, but I don't know if i'm cabable of that kind of weight drop, yet.
I love to write, it's my biggest hobby and it's so much fun to think up a story or write a poem. I have loved writing since i wrote my first poem (I was 13, I think, at the time). Ever since I started writing poetry, it's stuck with me, and it's been a passion of mine ever since. I just started writing stories, it's been over a year, but I found out how much fun it is to create a character and decide what happens, instead of reading about it. I love to read, I get a ton of ideas for my stories from books I read. My favorite author right now would have to be James Dashner. He has written 2 of my favorite book series. He hsa such an amazing gift, as a writer, I would be honored to meet him one day, and I plan to! Being a writer is such an amazing opportunity and if you like writing, you gotta take that past go and collect your $200!

Random Videos and Rants!
You may not have known, but I have a blog. You can probably tell from the title what it's about, Videos I post and Rants, right? Well, actually, I do post those things, but in addition to that, I also post a variety of personal posts from my life. Most of them turn into rants, but I know a few don't. They sit in the category in between 'Rant' and 'Life Post', which some people usually skip until the next post. My Goal is to get 30 followers by July 2011, currently I have 12 followers (11 public and 1 private followers). If you could take the time to check out my blog, that would be great and I would deeply appreciate it. If I reach my goal of 30 followers, i'm thinking about posting a video of me doing something crazy, but I don't think i'll have to do anything, since getting 18 followers seems unreasonable.
Social Networking
Most people have accounts on social networking sites, right? It's hard not to have an account on at least one now days. With so many like Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Plurk, Myyearbook, and more, it's hard to not have any! As for me, I have, at least, one account on every one of those sites. I love staying connected and being with the 'In Crowd', being 'In the loop' helps me with a lot of things I do outside of the electronic world within the internet. I can easily see if schools closed from my schools Facebook Page, check my tennis schedule from the website, or even message my friends about weekend plans (usually I call or text them though). It's so easy
YouTube
I absolutly love YouTube! It's probably the best video sharing website, other then MetaCafe, that is also extremely easy to use. I have had my YouTube account since 8th, 2008 and loved every minute. I don't want to talk about YouTube for 3 paragraphs because you would get seriously bored! What I do want to do, though, is show you a few videos from my channel and link you to a few other channels.
I'll Start with a simple video from my channel...

Homeless, Hungry, & Cold (A Silent Film)
You can probably tell that this is a very low budget film. I enjoy making silent films though and don't really care how they turn out, as long as the story line is clear. I hope you like the video. Let's move on to a YouTube video series i created a few months ago, we only have 5 episodes, keep that in mind, but be sure to let me know what you think!
Bits&pieces 4
This is the 4th video is a series of 5, I chose to show you the 4th one, where I lost, at the end, because it was when i finally started to make them more professionally. The first 3 were mostly trial and error, finding out what works and what doesn't. I don't own any of the music, I have to thank YouTube and all the users who posted this music. I cut the audio and insert the music, on certain clips, in certain vids.
Dancing Like Fools!
This video, to me, personally, is EPIC! I know I was foolish not to think before i started dancing, with the camera. I probably should have had my friend Kyle hold the camera, he refused to dance anyway. All these videos are from my channel. If you were wondering where the other channels come in, that would be now.
thr33kings3
My friends and I have a 'collab' channel where we all know the user and pass, but usually, only Patrick and I use it. All the channel consists of is Audio Only videos. We close the camera lens and record random conversations we have. We never stage what is said, that would just be stupid. What happens is we record some conversations we have and listen to see what sounds awkward to hear back, not knowing what the conversation is about. Some of the videos actually turn out hillarious, which is what we wanted to happen! I will show you a video and if you want to watch more, check out the channel through the link i'll provide here.
Be Nice
Hope You enjoyed that video, we usually make them less then 2 minutes and haven't broken that promise yet! Stop by and comment or subscribe. All support is gladly appreciated.
Wrapping up...
I hope you've enjoyed reading all about me and the crazy things in my life! It can be incredible at times, I won't deny the truth, but it can also be pretty reversed. If you like my videos and the 'collab vids' I posted here, check out my friend Patricks YouTube page. He uses clips I recorded on days we go to the park and makes a giant video with clips throughout the day, there fun to watch! He's also trying to branch out and make some vids of his own, though he has a lower budget then me (He uses a camera with video feature to make his vids). Support us if you like us, Thanks!
