HOW WILL YOU MAKE MONEY WHEN YOU GROW UP?! "I think Im just gonna keep making funny videos..." on STEEMIT!!steemCreated with Sketch.

I remember the moment vividly; we're huddled around a stack of cold left-over-pizza boxes. Everyone had fuel in their tanks, and smiles on their faces. Life was simple. We were the Pizza Delivery Boys. We had it all. We knew each-other through work; we were all drivers for the same company. All day everyday fun in the sun, deliveries 6pm - midnight, then get into mischief afterwards... Well that was my schedule anyway, these guys were still at college, and I was in my early 20's.

The question was raised by this cute girl we'd just met at the house party who was innocently intrigued by our crew; "How will you make money when you grow up, after Domino's Pizza?!" Shit. I'd never been asked this. There is life after Domino's Pizza? I was pretty comfortable there, hadn't imagined leaving and did not appreciate the unexpected career-disturbing questionnaire. To make it worse, all the other guys answered without hesitation; plans of precision engineering, mechanics and carpenters, training for this and training for that. When the circle of questions reached me, I was blank, I searched my soul for a future, and saw only one option ahead; "I think Im just gonna keep making funny videos..." That was it. That was the first ever moment I said it. I named it. I vocalised it. I cast a spell over reality, and I made it happen. From that moment forward it was official, it had been announced and I couldn't see it NOT-happening. It wasn't that I was arrogantly over-confident, I just had nothing better to do.

My sights were set for HOLLYWOOD and you can even see "the crew" in the line up at the beginning of this video! They all knew my plan; Seb is going to climb the HOLLWOOOD Sign!

Since I was clearly not going to follow the "usual" life path, I figured I'd have to make some grand effort to get out there and film things that are out-of-the-ordinary, and upload them to YouTube. I never lacked ideas. Everyone has ideas. For an idea you get one point. For a written plan you get nine points. For DOING IT you get 90 points.


Not all the pranks went perfectly, here's my surprisingly eventful microphone test. I am so excited to open the mail, BUT WAIT, the headphone is broken! Oh. Great startI I do tend to break things. So with my broken headphones, the test begins! CAN YOU SEE ME YET? CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?! The local Los Angeles gangster homies sure can! Steemit Mission Impossible Begins...

Thanks to my Steemit Friends for Sharing the Love & Laughter!

Supplies for filming were not the issue, the guys found the biggest rolls of bubblewrap you've ever seen to inspire a hilarious excuse to be "snowmen" for the Christmas New Year Seasonal Celebrations. With @SebCam style we took it to the next level with white spray paint and a carrot nose. **The only problem I had.... was peeing.

That was the winter, in the summer time we gathered together CamperVans, Inflatables, Bikes, Ramps and Slip n Slides to go "Lake Jumping" -that's what we called it :)


"Jump, and sling your head back" were the only words of advice and instruction I had been given by my friends on how to flip a bmx bike. Not that any of them had actually done a backflip on a bike. I'd built the ramp, drawing it with a pencil on large sheets of chipboard, then cutting out the shapes with a saw & screwed it all together! Im no carpenter, but it worked, and squeezed into the cow car (that's another Story ; ) Thoughts really do become things, become actions, become legends... of the Lake. Please do follow along, this is only the start of the Journey, you aint seen nothin' yet!

I'll be Sharing Stories daily to Steemit, you can count on that. I will deliver, and I absolutely will not stop; The Sebinator. I feel STEEM & BitCoin are the answer to my prayers for money manifestation thru my art form. My bold claim came true; "I think Im just gonna keep making funny videos..." on STEEMIT!!


Much Love from @SebCam, the Human Webcam.

I had never seen your videos before today. They are strange, but I can't deny your passion for having fun making videos! I've been known to make a few strange videos myself, so I can appreciate just wanting to share your sense of adventure and humor with the world! Keep it up!

HAhahaaa... Strange-but-fun... strangely-Fun! I just wanna make people laugh :D I have over 400 videos on youtube....... SebCam ;)

WooHoo, I really like what you've put together here. I think most of us don't do what we love because it's deemed to be childish and is frowned upon, I think if we all acted like children every now and then the world would be a better place.

I think too many people take life too seriously, I'm certainly NOT one of those, I've been told by my kids to behave and to stop acting like a female Peter Pan... best compliment ever in my view!

A wise guy once said "in all things, be childlike." it's in that Bible thingy ;) Keep a sense of humour about all things; especially yourself. It is a strength beyond measure.x
