After that

So After a session of making the blog much important.. It stopped.. It's like I bragged that I thought I was getting a lot of viewers and thought wow I should see if I could make money doing the blog and because of that I lost the ability to think... So weird... But on the /...


In the early part of December I wanted to do the videos... Not.. Well here is what I was gonna do.. In the early days/years of doing the videos I was doing them to DVD discs.. And that was fine, I made a lot of discs, they are just over 4GB in length and that seemed like a lot, and it kinda sorta is.. Well dvd discs are good but they age unfortunately and they are something that you might want to last for more than 8 years, and .. THEY DON'T sadly... They can last more than 8 years but they can also not last 8 years and they can last 12 or longer years but they can also not last very long at all.. So at the start of this past year (2016) I decided that there will be no more dvd RAM  dvd discs used and the main reason is because they can go fuck all and that's it... Back when my Sister in law's sun was just about four years old she wanted the old videos and I loaded them on to the computer but for the longest time she didn't get the videos and at one point this past year I decided to "upgrade" To windows 10 because it was free and why not do that because of that.. Well three weeks later the computer took a turd fest on the computer and so I reversed and went back to windows 7 and was thankful I did, but upon doing so I lost all those videos.. So a few weeks before Christmas I was doing a video project for her, then one for my other sister in law and then a third for my mom.. Not all of these are the  same project... And they would be SD cards, the greatest reason being is that SD cards clip into the computer... Flash drives can be bumped loose and can cause issues upon doing so..  SD cards clip into their place and you eject them, while some people don't it is extremely wise to eject them..  My Sister inlaw with the videos of her sons is  a 16GB card, some of the videos are not in the best of shape but some are just lucky to get them to work at all..  The other sister inlaw has a SD card that started as 16GB but ended up having to be 32GB because of the sheer number of videos and length, with a few videos being repeated because they were doubled, because of there being videos of everyone together.. And then the one on my moms SDcard was the master of it all.. Two 32GB SD cards..  And a little extra for moms.. There was the video for Donald's wedding rehearsal and there is another with Jordans wedding... And whatever else will be made to work..  And then a quick look at everything and two videos were deleted because they were identical with the difference being that they were titled something slightly different..   All together the ones for mom are sort of the backup to the other two as a just in case but more because these are the only ones that I have.. the discs are fine but may gradually no longer play, as discs seem to go to hell over time and I'm not sure how long the SD cards will last.. Ultimately I want all the videos to be uploaded to a family YouTube site to hold onto everything.. However the reason the videos of Ian were redundant and mostly I was after what not only would play but also the more interesting bits.. Yes he will only be this age for a short time and that is why I edited the videos a little bit... With the twins it was a completely different story.. In the first three years we got to see a little bit but was nice to see what little we got to see..


After their mother died I started to record everything, and had troubles editing them down and as the proceedings went along with the adoption and about Thanksgiving of 2015 there was worry that they would be lost because of the father trying to get them.. And it was extremely hard for both my brother and his wife and everyone else.. When it got to be May and the end was extremely near and the father was about to win all I could think was well now what??  What do I do with all the videos, if he wins I doubt that I will keep the videos... I hoped we would win.. When I say we I mean my brother and his wife.. but also the community, the community that was and is my brother, his wife and everyone else ho were pulling for them to win... By labor day week end they had in fact won but had to wait some 90 days between winning and appeals court and whatever other hoops that had to be jumped through.. Some on the other side (the father) might have said well they tried to cut corners or tried to start things before they were ready.. They did everything BY THE BOOK.. Because if they wouldn't have they would have lost.. In fact they went above and beyond the book... I happen to know for a fact that is what they did.. You can't cut a corner and think that would be alright... It wouldn't be..


All the videos were set to be on disc, but when the discs weren't watched I honestly thought about stopping video work.. The videos are almost never watched on YouTube but then I thought Tabitha always complimented me and so I decided to always do videos, always send them to disc (card now) and edit them for YouTube...
