The brilliant artpieces in a gallery&lt;br /&gt;
The sunset over the shimmering lake&lt;br /&gt;
The glittering stars that shine with the moon&lt;br /&gt;
But I rather fixate my eyes on your mesmerizing face&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All the beautiful sounds resonate my ears&lt;br /&gt;
The&amp;nbsp;instruments of talented musicians&lt;br /&gt;
The rustling of leaves in the high trees&lt;br /&gt;
The birds chirping with delight&lt;br /&gt;
But I rather listen to your soothing melodic voice&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All the palatable tastes to nourish my tongue&lt;br /&gt;
The finely prepared plates made with passion&lt;br /&gt;
The crisp clear taste of water&lt;br /&gt;
The divine&amp;nbsp;lusciousness of honey and nectar&lt;br /&gt;
But I rather taste your sweet, soft lips&lt;br /&gt;

___________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
Like &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikigroaning#Systemic_bias_in_coverage"&gt;Wikigroaning&lt;/a&gt;, but&amp;nbsp;a first possible&amp;nbsp;art form or terminology coined by yours truly. (girlfriend vs videogames HAHA)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If there is anything to be learned in this life, it's that you can't extend your "e-appendage" by uploading a video on YouTube. For female readers, you&amp;nbsp;should interpret "e-appendage" as self worth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BUT WAIT!&amp;nbsp;It sounds like I am disagreeing with what YouTube is meant to&amp;nbsp;BE towards the common Internet user.&lt;br /&gt;
I agree on one thing, YouTube is great when I'm looking for music videos from the vibrant new-wave&amp;nbsp;80's, but it's&amp;nbsp;gut-wrenchingly awful when I have to test out more than 10 results for "Doesn't Really Matter" by "Platinum Blond", but it doesn't really matter, because this human ignorance shouldn't bother me, should it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember the popular viral video called &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zvTRQr7ns8"&gt;"Bro Rape" by "Derrick Comedy"&lt;/a&gt;? Documenting the fictitious yet easily recognizable desires of your fellow hip male friends....with their upside down visors....Dane Cook DVDs....and axe spray. Yeah I can agree, having any of those things can cause undesirable attention, I also agree that copying this video then re-uploading it again onto Youtube makes you look like a complete dunce, for instance:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEJ5bfuBehs"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;xHaVoC83x&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;- &lt;span dir="ltr" id="eow-title" title="Bro Rape: A Newsline Investigative Report [HD]"&gt;Bro Rape: A Newsline Investigative Report [HD]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(imagine me pronouncing the word: "ecks havoc ninety-three ecks" in order to destroy all the user's chances of redeeming himself) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- turning this video on 720p resolution, it still looks worse than the original video uploaded by the original authors on normal or even 240p. Clever ruse, you added to the title [HD] to trick people into thinking they can see the same comedy gold but with refined video clarity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;- This video was posted on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="watch-video-date" id="eow-date"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #999999;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;June 23, 2010, a 4 year gap&amp;nbsp;after the original. Of course the kid adds to the description "I do not own this, but its one of my favorite videos on youtube lol"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="watch-video-date"&gt;-Don't bother trying to tell this kid how much of a hack he is, because your comment will be deleted after 5 minutes. When you discover your comment is missing, you might try to make another, only to see this message "&lt;span class="comments-post-result comments-bad-post"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;You have been blocked by the owner of this video.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;" I found it ironic too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="watch-video-date"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="watch-video-date"&gt;I don't quite remember what my imminently deleted statement was but it went something like "[HD] my ass" and "please delete this video so my Youtube search function doesn't give me garbage results"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="watch-video-date"&gt;Things I could have done to prevent such silliness:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="watch-video-date"&gt;- only click on the first result, since that one was most RELEVANT and POPULAR one&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="watch-video-date"&gt;- ignore latter results since they are not what I am looking for&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="watch-video-date"&gt;- save the proper video to my favorites so I won't have to search for it again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="watch-video-date"&gt;- not comment on the wrong video telling them good advice&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="watch-video-date"&gt;- not make this blog about it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="watch-video-date"&gt;See how I leave the most mundane things at the end of the list? That's because I'm thoughtful.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="watch-video-date" style="background-color: white;"&gt;So, should I let this common problem on YouTube affect me that much? Should I even worry or complain about it? Should I see&amp;nbsp;a whole 15 minute episode of Clarke and Michael rather than 3x5 min segments in three different garbage links on YouTube?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="watch-video-date"&gt;I might have cared less if this kid had less than 100 hits as opposed to his 89000? Or if other people spoke up?... well maybe they did, but the OWNER OF THE VIDEO won't let them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Things you can search for on Youtube to get your rage going:&lt;br /&gt;
- viral videos e.g. "N64 kid"&lt;br /&gt;
- clips of comedian skits/standups e.g. Russel Peters&lt;br /&gt;
- famous movie quotes/scenes&lt;br /&gt;
- Justin Bieber&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6863865675082492638-8177525657605554351?l=gaussminigun.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Nervous, excited&lt;br /&gt;

Lets take a long walk&lt;br /&gt;

Not on the soft beach&lt;br /&gt;
Not on the cushioning grass&lt;br /&gt;
But sitting down here&lt;br /&gt;
_______________&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm not much for introductions, I mean really,&amp;nbsp;haikus?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I can't write essays because of the solid formats I've been taught to follow.&lt;br /&gt;
Formats, fragile like glass.&lt;br /&gt;
To me this glass is a thick two-paned window, so reflective you can only see what's on the other side by using your own hands to block out the light. Reinforced by metal bars where you can barely fit your fingertips through.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To my instructors this glass is a fine handmade flute, where a chip or crack creates an imaginary undesirable taste in their fine fermented bubbly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These are the formats you are expected to follow, you are also to adapt the same mindset on these set of rules if you are to become a doctor, lawyer, engineer etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The introduction, a paragraph of information and&amp;nbsp;anecdotes,&amp;nbsp;stating the three topics/points you are going to discuss in the next three paragraphs, as well as restating those three points in your conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
I never did this correctly, and never will the instructors tell you why, unless I was supposed to take "use common sense" as an answer&amp;nbsp;why I failed anything in life, including essays.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm here to discuss my thoughts and how other people relate or differ from them.&lt;br /&gt;
I'm here to learn to be open minded.&lt;br /&gt;
I'm here because taking a standpoint has its consequences.&lt;br /&gt;
