In a world of lies, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Oatmeal Life, Rebrand Thyself

Took 2 hours to make this 2 minute video:
In this video, let's talk about 2 things
Those two things: 1. What I did 2. What I wanna do
Born 1985 in Oregon, homeschooled. I was an introvert scientist/athlete/thinker/builder.
1990s, I was drawing/singing/writing/building/creating/making videos

This is a random incomplete/inaccurate abbreviated outline preview teaser trailer summary of my autobiography life rough draft

1. What I did in my life was sometimes a conflation/confusion between main projects and side projects
   Which was done accidentally and/or purposely at different times depending on variables/factors
   Many times would start projects but run off to work on other projects
   Sometimes felt like I had to rush projects feeling like I would never have time to finish them later on in life
   The workaholic perfectionist never wants to publish content, nothing is good enough including this video
   My relationship with my work/projects/content/life is similar to that of George Lucas and his Star Wars
   Like George Lucas, I'm looking for my own version of Disney to buy up my Oatmeal Wars for $4 billion
   Not actually saying I'm worth that much, technically not trying to say what I might actually deserve
   As I study my life, I ask myself the question, "When did it go wrong?"
   Not saying it did, not saying it didn't, many things happened, so many pros and cons, it would take hours to unpack, it's tough to summarize the struggles of life, priorities, balance, goals, desires, intentions, mistakes, success, failure, setbacks, dreams, hopes, frustrations, context, character, relationships, friendships, nuance, picking which hills to die on, which battles to tackle, focus, agenda, bias, perspective, principles, concerns, questions, answers, attributes, soundbites, screenshots, patterns, work, grind, destiny
   In the mist of the content I put out there, some of it ended up being my anthropology series of my own autobiography, the story of my own life, my own blog vlog
   You might say I've been a content creator on the Internet past like 26+ years since like 1997
   You might say the type of content you put out there is what brands you
   You might say the problem Oatmeal has is he put out too much all over the place past 4+ decades online/offline, videos/blogs/photos/memes/posts/articles/music/audio/websites/tweets/email/files/GIFs/art/scans/album/trolling/scamming/social/networking/random/experiments/incomplete fragmentation/rough drafts/trailers/content/work/projects
   You might Oatmeal failed to stick to a main brand during his online careers past few decades
   You might say Oatmeal was too unpredictable/unreliable/unrelatable/too all over the place/too often/excessively/aggressively/oddly/randomly/subliminally
   Over time, Oatmeal started putting out unfinished content more and more onto the Internet despite being a perfectionist
   Oatmeal felt conflicted with paradoxes/contradictions/feeling like it was now or never/feeling like he wanted to move on from projects to go onto new projects
   He sort of talked about that on Diaryland as early as like 2001
   And more so on Xanga since 2004
   And then MySpace/Facebook/Bebo/Freewebs
   One example would be I created Ojawall in 2009 on YouTube with the intention it would be the home of all of my content and especially unfinished rough drafts and what not, sort of like a cloud/portable hard drive/Google Drive
   I started fragmenting myself out into around 500 entities (groups/pages/accounts) on Facebook, 40+ YouTube channels, etc
   Because I wanted to do so many things all at the same, many reasons why
   Get out of my body into my belly
   Vietnam Kathy stole my Bike
   YouTube stole/deleted my 10K+ videos which I had no copies/backups of
   Yahoo/AOL/MSN/Bing/Google/xanga/Diaryland/Microsoft Bill Gates stole my emails
   Vietnam McDonald's stole my phone
   Discord Fish Bronycon owes me millions of dollars
   And number two, I want to focus on making videos like this, 2 minute videos
   And maybe begin transitioning back to longer multi-hour podcasting videos
   In this video, I hinted at things but didn't explain what the Hell I was talking about
   This video is more like an outline to the question of whether I can rebrand myself or not
   For 2024, one of my plans/goals is to continue rebranding/gradual transitioning in what I do in life/content/work/projects/what I do/how I do like everything/one step at a time/what/when/where/why/how/what for/who/through what/etc
   You might say as content creators, how you do everything is an art
   Think of this video like you would a movie/film/Netflix series/TV show teaser trailer
   And don't get me started with the trolls, Oatmeal Black Markets, Oatmeal Fake News
   You might say I talked too much about my personal life in my videos/etc
   It's tough to summarize what/why I did in my life
   In 2024, may try to do many things
   Will try transitioning
   But also I'm gonna try to focus on finishing at least some of my top projects
