Exclusive First Look At Australia Day Video...and the news

Dearest faithful ADU fans, I present to you the first exclusive look at my Australia Day Video. When I completed this video it was 3 GB big. In order for it to fit online I had to compress it. So the quality is not as good as when it first came out, but still watchable. I'll upload another version with a little better quality to FB tomorrow. I don't know If I will continue this Vlog thing, as I feel awkward holding a camera to myself and I sound funny on camera as well. But I hope you enjoy it.


Now to continue this post I want to talk about a few things...

First off on my list is the California High Speed Rail. Its about fuckin time. In case you haven't heard, Obama has given the state of California 2.5 Billion Dollars for rail funding. The plan is to build a high speed train from Sacramento to San Diego, stopping in various cities along the way. They estimate that the train will go about 220MPH and can go from LA to SF in 2.5 hours. That is just awesome.

In other Bay Area news. Now that the A's have signed Ben Sheets, it looks like the A's have one of the best pitching rotations and bullpen in all of baseball this year. Go look up the A's pitching roster, yes it's that good.

And finally, I must say RIP to J.D Salinger. The beloved author of one of my favorite books "Catcher In The Rye". Now that he is no longer with is, do you think they'll finally make a movie out of it with Jake Gyllenhaal as Holden? I would love to see old Jakey boy step into his Donnie Darko shoes again.

I think I'll start talking about current events that I can relate to in this blog from now on. No, I won't pick the boring stuff.

So what do you think about me continuing a Vlog. Yay or Nay? Maybe The American Down Under will have his own Youtube channel someday.

Keep up the Vlog, it's awesome and way more personalized when it's on video and not just plain text.

Giant's pitching staff is much better.
