Do it for the Vine!

Vine is a blessing for someone like me. I have the attention span of a gnat. Vine is a great app where people create 6 second videos. My favourite type is definitely comedy, I have subscribed to pretty much most of the funniest Viners that are out there. This is a bit of a pain because all the people I have subscribed to are always on the 'Most Popular' page so it is definitely getting tougher to find new stuff - 1st world problems eh?

If you have not downloaded this app then you are surely missing out. First of all it is free so what the hell you might aswell. Secondly its an amazing time killer. And also these people are becoming quite famous, so you will know them before other people - and who doesn't like being ahead of the curve?

Also as the ever helpful person that I am, I have compiled a list of people you should consider following.

1. DRose - comedy, mixed with real life and her daughter
2. Brandon Calvillo - comedy, pokes fun at everyday stupidity.
3. Brittany Furlan - comedy, Queen of Vine. Not afraid to look stupid.
4. Simone Shepard - comedy, makes fun of ratchetness.
5. Alx James - comedy, social commentary of stupid things that anger him.
6. Sunny Mabrey - comedy, does a lot of hilarious skits.
7. Robby Ayala - comedy, big looking tough guy who is actually hilarious and sweet.
8 That's So Raven - comedy, 6 second clips of one of the best TV shows of all time.

Here is a quick compilation of some videos I found on YouTube. They are worth checking out. Some of these videos are amazing - and just remember they only have 6 seconds to impress you and most of them have little to no technology to use except from their phone.

Childhood Distractions

I really miss the old children's television that would either fill my Saturday mornings or my hours after homework. Nickelodeon and Disney were my first port of call. Here is a quick list of my fave shows:

Lizzie McGuire

This show first introduced me to my major childhood crush of Hilary Duff. It was a simple show that followed a girl through her everyday life - with the help of her cartoon self telling us exactly what she was thinking.

That's So Raven

To me this was one of the funniest shows I have ever watched - I still watch re-runs now when I can. Raven was a psychic, hilarity ensued as she dealt with her abilities and trying to be a teenager.

Sister Sister

I loved this show and watched it religiously. It was based on twins that found each other 16 years after been adopted in to different families. My favourite character was Tia's mum Lisa - she bought the crazy to the show.

Sabrina The Teenage Witch

Another amazing show from Nickelodeon. Basically if you couldn't guess from the shows title, Sabrina was a witch. The main premise for the first couple of seasons was dealing with the power and being a teenager whilst also having to find the 'family secret'. The secret was that every witch in the family had an evil twin - I could of told her that.

Clarissa Explains It All

This show was a bit old for me when I was watching it, however it didn't stop me. It was similar to Lizzie McGuire. The best thing about it was the fashion - if you ever need a reference for 90's fashion watch this show. Melissa Joan Hart was perfect.

Scooby Doo

If you don't know this TV show then you have walked around with your eyes closed for 34 years. It follows a group of teenagers and their dog - who seems to be blessed with the ability to talk, except he has a terrible speech impediment. They tried to recreate with a live action version, it wasn't as good but still worth a watch.

Rugrats

This was the cartoon of my generation. Following a group of babies and toddlers crawl through their daily life. My mind was blown when I was told it was slightly based upon Doctor Who. 

These shows were perfect distractions from my childhood. I feel bad for the kids of today as the main programs they get to see seem to be based upon children chasing fame. Either a singer, dancer or TV star. There are no Lizzie's, Clarissa's, Tia's or even a Tamera amongst the group.
