Why Do We Love Roller Coasters?
On Sunday we spent a fun day at Six Flags: Magic Mountain, a roller coaster amusement park just north of Los Angeles. It made me wonder, and subsequently make this video, about why we enjoy roller coasters so much.

Real Life Plot Twists
Good morning Rebels, and welcome back to my life.
Today I want to talk about Real Life Plot Twists, inspired by this video by YouTube channel BestThingWorstThing way back in September last year.
I put this video idea on my list and somehow never got around to it but I’m doing it now!
I don’t generally do spoiler warnings for movies that are really old, but what the heck. Spoiler warning for The Empire Strikes Back, The Sixth Sense, Memento and the Harry Potter series.

The End of an Era

I’m Turning 29
Hello Rebels, and welcome back to my life.
Tomorrow is my birthday, and I will be turning 29, and it has been a heck of a 29th rotation around the sun.
I normally don’t think of birthdays as a big deal. They normally don’t make me “feel” any different. But this one does. For some reason, this one seems significant to me.

Less Than Famous Panel 2015
Hello to the people who are running the Less than Famous Panel at VidCon 2015. My name is Garrett Robinson, and I thought you might want to take a look at me to, you know, maybe be on the panel.
I’m 28 years old, I’m a husband and a father of three kids, I write books, and I’m a YouTuber.
My YouTube channel is called TheGarrettRobinson, and I’ve been vlogging there for just over a year, since January 2014.
I just passed 1,200 hundred subscribers. That’s not 12,000, that’s 1,200. So, definitely LESS than famous, which is kind of the point of, you know, this.

#DearMe
#DearMe,
You’re thirteen right now. And you are having a really bad day.
You are sad, moody, and you think everything in the world is against you.
You didn’t know what to do with these feelings. You tried venting to mom, but it didn’t help.
So you were struck by an impulse. You sat down and wrote a poem.
