Word 4 Weapons: An Awesome Charity!

Hello to anyone who is reading this. 


As a Youtuber, since last year I've been taking part in a special annual project called the "Project For Awesome" (P4A) that was started by the great "Vlogbrothers" Hank and John Green (Youtube search them!). On the 17th (and 18th I guess) of December the entire community get together and upload video about their chosen charities, then watch other people's videos about their charities then comment, thumbs-up and favourite those videos. This year there is a special P4A raffle where one can win many YouTube prizes (i.e. tat that well-known Youtubers don't want anymore! All proceeds go to their charities) YAY! I donated money to my chosen charity as well as buying $20 worth of p4a raffles tickets. Go me! :-)


My chosen charity is a local one called Word 4 Weapons, started by a great guy named Michael Smith in 2007. I could tell you what the charity is about but why read this when you can watch a great video about it.

Tons of snow tonight. (Merry Christmas)

Hey guys. It has been a long time since I have posted a blog. I've done quote a few videos since last time (no, I didn't win that presenter competition but a lovely lady did) but I guess I forgot to mention them here which is a bit bad of me.

Today there has been nothing but snow.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Trying to get the Spirit of London.

I am cutting this really fine (the deadline is tomorrow), but I just entered the Spirit of London Awards 2010 Backstage Presenter competition. Why? The opportunity sounds cool, I like trying new things and who knows...this could lead to fame and fortune! Haha.


If you have time then by all means give my audition video a watch. It's nothing amazing but still good, thanks!

A quick blog I was meant to...blog.

As you are probably aware its been a while since I got back from my trip to Manchester. Before the trip home I headed to Liverpool to see Arsenal beat Everton 2-1 (yay). Then it was the long ride home with my two big bros.

Haye vs Harrison on another night in Manchester!

Wow, I've just woken up from my brother's flat an it is cold. Very cold. Everyone else that crashed here are still asleep so I decided to give you a quick blog entry.

Some of you may have noticed that I haven't posted any YouTube videos this week. Sorry but I was too busy enjoying myself this weekend. It good to get out of my house sometimes. Last night was the big, long awaited boxing match between David Haye and Auderly Harrison. We watched it on a large screen (although the original plan was to watch it in 3D but there was a booking mix up) in a place called the Golftorium (see picture) and the drinks kept rolling. Long story short: The first round was terrible (not a single punch was thrown) but Haye won in the third. That done the group went around and ended up being in Lounge 31 again which was great. Oddly enough I saw a couple of familiar faces too.

Apparently I'm gonna go and see the Arsenal vs Everton today and I should be making that journey back home (and reality :-( ) today as well.

A brilliant night in Manchester!

So right now I'm chilling in a hotel after a great night out in Manchester. I was dancing the night away throughout. Early on I spotted some of the actors and actresses from the hit BBC drama 'Waterloo Road', I was a bit starstruck because I'm a big fan of the show. I would've loved to meet them but I was with my big bro for his birthday celebrations and...well...I'm still still a bit of a shy person at times.


The Walrus and Lounge 31 bars were by far the best places (walrus being the best overall) great music to dance to. Also, grime artist P Money did his thing in the lounge too which was a nice bonus.


My time in Manchester is not over yet though. Today may be just as star-studded as last night, who knows...

Blogging on the move.

Right now I'm on a train that is heading to Manchester. I downloaded a blogging app this morning so I'm trying out to see how it is. The interface is not too bad, just gotta wait and see if it posts good. I think I had too much of sainsbury's fruit pastilles cos my belly feels weird. Here's hoping I don't throw up, I hate that.

Scorcher and Sincere That Right parody video (download link below!)

A funny fact about this video: If you listen closely when I say the word "Elizabeth" you will hear a little 'click' sound. That was the sound of my tongue clicking as it flipped out when I said the "Liz" part. OK that fact wasn't exactly funny but I hope this video will be...well...funny. Like my G-Unit video I did the music, the lyrics and the filming. I am proud of the sound I managed to achieve with my little keyboard and microphone but it is nothing too special. I call it an instrumental or a "beat" (cool talk!) but it's really more of a loop. 


For those who have not heard of the original song I have posted an annotation on the top left side of the video, just click and it should take you there. If not use this link! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruSgJYPbpz4 


For the first time I have given you download links to the song and to the instrumental (4 minute-long version). You should find this below the video here (right now it's also on the Music Downloads page but I have other plans for that page soon...I think... 


Oh and if you plan on using my stuff in your YouTube videos or in any other work, it would be much appreciated if you give me mention and add a link to my YouTube channel or this blog. That's not asking for much right?

This video finally has over 1000 views!

Hello everyone,

I was supposed to upload a new video on Friday but I have to balance things with the job hunt so I had to give uploading a miss. The video has not even been shot yet because I had to produce the music first so hopefully we will get things rolling by Sunday (Monday latest).

In other news, I am very happy to say (and type, I guess) that a certain video that I made 100% by myself has gone past the 1000 views mark on YouTube! It is a parody version of the song "Stunt 101" by the old rap group G-Unit (50 Cent, Lloyd Banks and Young Buck). This was the first time I produced a full length instrumental complete with lyrics and a home-made video. Do not worry my sensitive-hearing readers there are no expletives like the original. It would be great if you could view the video and let me know what you think of it. Many thanks!

Coming Soon: BigGuyZee.co.uk!!!!

So right now my blog is looking quite decent at the moment. It doesn't have that much stuff on it but I like the simplistic look, and you know what they say: "Less is more". However, I'm not really liking the whole blogspot.com part of the address. Why? I just think that having a .com or a .co.uk address seemed more proper. No offence to Blogger and Google but blogspot domain name sounds like the user came out fresh from Myspace (and most of us have moved on from Myspace right?)

Thinking about this I got a mini flashback thought from my time in Internet Law class and remembered about domain names and how we can register our own. So to cut a long story short I have registered BigGuyZee.co.uk to use on this blog (hopfully until I'm able to fund a full website), and when the registration is fully complete I will no longer class this as a "Blog" but more of a website or a webpage. I've also registered my full name but I'm not sure what to do with that yet. Hopefully that will come in handy in the near future.

So here is my blog announcement on YouTube. It was shot in the early hours in the morning and it features a mince pie that is sadly no longer with us. Enjoy!

If anyone knows how to put this thing on another part of my blog (not in the posting part) then please let me know. If you don't then feel to click away! :-D

A new blog to accompany my YouTube channel

To everyone who may be seeing this...

So... this is the first post of my new blog! Yippee. I had a blog before (The 4th Chapter) but my interest in that one kinda fell through. With this one however, I am trying to link this one with my YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/BigGuyZee) so it should be easy to maintain this one.

This is only an intro post so I've nothing more to say to you (or type about) right now. I don't currently have a post schedule but I will do soon.

I'll leave you with my latest YouTube Upload. Here's hoping that you like my rapping skills. Oh and if you have a Youtube account please check out my videos on my channel (At the time of typing this I have 118 videos). I've been regularly uploading since 2009 and it would be great if you subscribed and continue to watch my stuff. Much love. :-)
