Unfortunately, I cannot actually insert the video in the post, but click on the link.
He is a very good friend of mine and I really like his music. I mean I'm not a huge, rap fan. I only really like Inpaine and Eminem. And I liked Eminem before I met Inpaine.
Which is ironic (...coincidental?) because Eminem was a huge inspiration for him.
I'm eating Jelly Belly jelly beans as I type this so, I'm suffering.
But back to the subject.
Inpaine is from Harlem, New York. How do I know him? We go to school together.
Below is a link to his most recent video, which is personally, one of my favorite songs, not just of his, but of 2016 so far.
First of all, let me apologize for not posting the last few days. On Monday, I got two wisdom teeth taken out and all I've been doing since then is watch Brandon Rogers videos....I am a bit obsessive at this moment. And that's why I'm dedicating this post to him.
And if Brandon ever sees this, if you don't want to read the whole post of me talking about you being amazing, feel free to scroll down to the end. :)
Brandon Rogers being a babe.
To start off the actual post, I would like to point out that Brandon Rogers is physically aesthetic.
Why did I want to write a blog post about another YouTuber?
Brandon Rogers is not just another YouTuber. His videos are not just vlogs. Don't get me wrong, I love Shane Dawson, Lisbug, and Dan&Phil (just to name a few). But Rogers' videos are pretty much short films.
His videos are comedic, and yes YouTube is full of comedians, but Rogers stands out.
I first discovered him when someone on Instagram posted a clip of Mad Tea Party. I don't remember what clip it was, but I remember laughing my ass off and finding the full video on YouTube and really liking it. I watched the Five Nights at Freddie's parody and the human centipede parody.
But I left it at that. I didn't really watch any other videos for a while. But I revisited the Mad Tea Party videos because I am a huge Alice in Wonderland fan and the Mad Hatter has to be my favorite character that Rogers has portrayed.

When he plays a character, he becomes the character. Of course it's still Brandon Rogers, but while you're watching the video he is the character completely.
Brandon Rogers is truly a gift to the world.
While the Mad Hatter is my favorite character of Rogers', I think the best character he portrays is Grandpa.
It's a hilarious character and it's what made Rogers go viral.

I remember seeing the vines that different people made of the "try me, bitch" scene and I knew it was Brandon Rogers, but for some reason I didn't look for the video, like I would normally do.
I didn't really get into Rogers until last week, because I was looking for a new YouTuber to get into and I hadn't seen all his videos, so I decided to give him a try.
I have literally laughed over his videos to the point of tears. And since the pain with my wisdom tooth started, before I got the surgery, I watched his videos and for those few minutes, I laughed until I cried and I forgot the pain that was my wisdom tooth growing horizontally.
And then after the surgery, I kept re-watching his videos because they were better than any pain meds that I was given.
Even as I'm typing this blog, I'm watching Theater Class again.
The fact that I have watched these videos multiple times and can still laugh, is amazing.
But I didn't just become a Brandon Rogers fan over his comedic videos. I think what really pulled me in was his darker videos. I am a huge Tim Burton/Johnny Depp fan.
The Tale of Wendylin Wayne, The Jabberwocky, and Wonka on Acid (which is included below), are probably my favorite videos.
Johnny Depp is my favorite actor in the Universe. I bring him up because he and Rogers are very similar, in that they become the characters they play.
Watch any of Rogers' character videos. The fact that you can separate him from the characters he plays is amazing. And I think that's why he sticks out to me.
And I still haven't figured out if it makes me an asshole when I laugh at his offensive jokes.
TO BRANDON
If you ever see this, I really do think you are amazing and talented. And even though I've been a fan for a short time, it have not regretted it.
Even though I don't have a life changing stories like some of your other fans, I have a very low tolerance for pain, so the fact that your videos helped me survive the oral surgery and you always cheer me up is actually a big thing to me.
Congratulations, on your 10 years on YouTube!
Notice me senpai, my Instagram is @drink_to_me and I have some fanart for you.
I hope you are all having a great New Years. 2015 is finished and 2016 has begun. I wanted to post today as the first official post of the 365 (366? I think it might be a leap year). Yay!
I am currently watching a bootleg clip of Love Never Dies. You guys understand from a past post, that I absolutely love it and wish I would have been able to see it.
My New Years resolutions?
Actually posting every single day on this blog.
Pass all my classes, this semester and next.
Actually finish a story.
CONTINUE FIGHTING
Fair warning, the post on Monday, may or may not be pre-written and a scheduled post. I'm having oral surgery done. They're removing my wisdom tooth which is growing horizontally.
By the way- Ramin Karimloo's voice is absolutely amazing. If you've never heard him sing, I'll insert something below.
Feel free to comment on any posts. Let me know your thoughts on things. If you agree. If you disagree with something.
ALSO
FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS OR SUGGEST SUBJECTS YOU WANT ME TO BLOG ABOUT
I will respond to EVERY question, and if there is an abundance at once, I will do an "Ask McCartha" post.
For those who are Ramin Karimloo fans, did you know that he did "One Song Glory" from RENT? The song is my favorite from RENT and Karimloo is my favorite Broadway/West End/Theater actor.
So yes.
I am fangirling currently.
Do you know who else is an extraordinary singer? Brendon Boyd Urie.
Boy can that man sing. I mean if by some miracle Urie and Karimloo did a song together, I might be the happiest fangirl alive.
Also Hadley Fraser. We CANNOT ever forget Fraser. I mean him and Karimloo are both close friends so they've done many songs together, but throw Urie into that mix and you have the Big Three.
Anyway, this blog is really off topic.
I wish you all a great 2016. If you read my posts, let me know. I want to recognize you for being a good person.
I apologize. The last time I posted on here was after my high school graduation and before I started college. My first semester was hell, but I have survived and I am looking forward to my next semester. If anyone actually follows my blog, let me know.
I will try to post more. I know I said that last time, but I have the app on my phone so I have no excuse besides classes, homework, or just plain laziness. I tried to post something two weeks ago and I wrote it all out, but I didn't save it and it was completely erased by accident. Hell I'll put an alarm everyday for this blog. And I'll post something. even if it's a small "Hello".
I have to get into the groove of posting again. And I will. I promise I will.
Even if I have to write the blogs all in one day for a week, I will. I promise.
I WILL DO IT
I hope you guys have a great rest of your holiday break.
Love is all, the laughter and the tears that fall. The mundane and the magical. Love is all.
One of the most stunning couples of Hollywood
At least they were one of the most stunning couples of Hollywood. You probably read the title and read that this blog post is about Marcnifer.
Made up of Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez. With my last blog post, you saw how I love and adore my flaco Rican, Marco Antonio Muniz.
But I also adore his second wife, Jennifer Lopez. And I adored them as a couple.
Marcnifer was my definition of true love when I was a kid. They were what I would have identified as "happily ever after" but they divorced, and well my whole world shattered.
Kidding. But let me tell you, when I found out that they were separated, I was crushed. Forreal.
I have loved them so much for as long as I can remember. They got married in 2004. I was seven. So maybe not for as long as I can remember- actually yes. Because I cannot remember a time before Marcnifer.
They've been friends- or have known each other- since at least 1999.
"No Me Ames" was the first song they did together. Before they got married. I believe that they were both single at the time, but I don't think they had a romance or anything because in 2001 Lopez married dancer, Chris Judd, and Anthony married Miss Universe 1999, Dayanara Torres in 2000.
I grew up around both of their music. My grandmother played Anthony's music sometimes and my aunt played Lopez's music (which I didn't learn was JLo until very recently).
But let me explain why I ship Marcnifer.
What they HAD* is what I want. Sure. It wasn't perfect. I know that. But they really loved each other. And I think that they still do love each other, even though they've moved on and are seeing other people.
When they were married, they weren't just husband and wife. They were best friends.
In his eyes she was perfect in her own way. And in her eyes he was perfect in his own way. I mean I can really imagine them staring into each other's eyes for hours.
I love this video. This was after they are already married. They are so cute together.
They both had a lot insecurities as most people do. But I bet he loved (maybe still loves) everything she hated about herself. And she loved (loves) everything he hated about himself.
What they had was beautiful. And I think that's one of the reasons I loved them. And why I still love them to this day, after the divorce and Anthony's third marriage.
They were the first celebrities I "stalked" through media. Every time I would go to the store, I would go through the magazines searching for anything about them.
Maybe they're not true love, but I strongly believe that they are soul mates.
I love the fact that they are still good friends, after the divorce and they're co-parenting.
At the twins 7th birthday party after they separated.
I love it not just because of their kids, Max and Emme, but because they were good friends before they got married. They had a beautiful friendship, which is probably how they fell in love over 10 years ago.
This one if one of my favorites of them. They are all so cute together. It makes me happy.
If you still haven't seen El Cantante since my last blogpost, YOU NEED TO GO WATCH IT NOW
Anthony and Lopez are both in is, playing husband and wife. It is the only film they have done together.
I think that they only did three songs together, which is weird, because they were married for ten years.
Only did one movie together and three songs. A bit upsetting to the Marcnifer fans, but it's okay. Because we get pictures of them and the kids together every once in a while.
An old photo, but my favorite. Why can't a guy look at me like that?
And I think that they still love each other. And they will always love each other.
They will never have what they had with each other, with anyone else.
During and the separation and the divorce, they did Q'Viva and if you watch clips on YouTube, you can see that they are still really good friends and I just love it.
And I do want a friendship like theirs, so if you see my "Be the Marc to me JLo" posts on social media, remember this blog post.
I want a love like theirs and a friendship like theirs.
I am ending with this photo because I love it.
From Left to Right:
Ryan Muniz, Anthony's third son
Shannon de Lima, Anthony's current [3rd] wife
Marc Anthony (You can see his arm around Lopez)
Cristian Muniz, Marc's second son
Jennifer Lopez (Her arm is around her former step-son)
Beau Casper Smart, Lopez's [current?] boyfriend
Emme Muniz, Marcnifer's daughter
Chase Muniz, Anthony's oldest son
Max Muniz, Marcnifer's son
It's such a sweet picture, and this is most of the Muniz family (Lopez and Smart included). The only one missing is Anthony's oldest daughter, Ariana.
But you can tell from this photo that they are a family.
And I really do love BC Smart, so of course I want him and Lopez to get married because he makes her happy and he really loves the twins.
Sorry that this post was so long, I just poured myself out.
P.S. By the time I'm posting it (12:14 am) it's not Sunday anymore. OOPS!
I do not regret this post and I don't think I ever will.
