Getting addicted to youtube

I think i'm getting addicted to youtube and it's a really scary feeling. I have even considered starting my own video weblog, only three things holding me back:
1. I'm lazy.
2. I don't have a webcam.
3. I don't really want to put my face on the web. (but i do often have alot to say)

Anyway, you find a video of interest and in good quality and watch it, then you want more and maybe you click on one of those videos suggested by youtube and of course they belong among the better ones, otherwise they wouldn't be as popular. Then gradually, as your options are exausted, you lower your standards and suddenly realize that what you are watching is some utterly useless crap.

I do what i can to get my thoughts on the net via my weblog, but people don't read it very often. Not that it's bad quality or boring (quite the opposite actually), people just don't know it exists, but youtube is getting more popular everyday... still considering...

I confused and scared or maybe i just need to get layed.

1. That's no excuse ;)
2. Microsoft basically give them up for free (buy Office, complete a beta survey, etc).
3. Then why not audio only and use Premier or Final Cut to add something else over the top?

1. you're right, im just honest.
2. ya i know, even i can affort, juist another excuse.
3. i did consider audio only, but people are first of all more interested in video, for some odd reason, and video can allso be usfull some times.

Speaking of BSD, I tried switching to FreeBSD a day or two ago and put it on an old 6Gig Quantum Bigfoot. Apparently it wasn't enough space for the Xdeveloper install. What I want to try now is installing it on my main 40g hard disk but I don't know how to resize the partition that I have for UBUNTU. ?? :D
