Yes, I will be selling my bike. But that doesn’t mean I’ll stop making videos. I still have my scooters and I can always borrow a motorcycle for a day…and in a day I can make a dozen videos easily. So no worries.

I was expecting October November to be the turning point for my youtube channel. My youtube earning have always gone up. Each and every month…..starting from next to nothing….and just recently started to become…..well….something. But…for no reason I can pin point my views are plummeting.  The last few days they’ve reached new lows that I haven’t seen in 6 or 7 months. So all the progress my YouTube channel has gained in the last 7 months now feels like it was lost. It might just be a temporary low…..it might bounce back to a new high. It very often drops before it spikes….so this might be the case. I hope so.

Other than that Cujo ran away and my dentist thinks I might have cancer and sent away his findings to a pathologist (I’ll know in 10 days).

So all in all a good month! But don’t worry…..I’m laughing as I write this……don’t get me wrong….it’s all 100% true….I’m just oddly enough not in a bad mood. Probably because recently I’ve been getting along well with my wife and if I had to choose between cancer and my wife nagging me……I’d choose the cancer. So as long as my wife isn’t destroying my soul…..I’m happy enough.

Thanks for reading this and I’ll try to keep you updated.

2. Where you once believed you were fearless, you now find yourself afraid.

3. The sacrifices you thought you made to have a child no longer seem like sacrifices.

4. You respect your body … finally.

5. You respect your parents and love them in a new way.

6. You find that your baby’s pain feels much worse than your own.

7. You believe once again in the things you believed in as a child.

8. You lose touch with the people in your life whom you should have banished years ago.

9. Your heart breaks much more easily.

10. You think of someone else 234,836,178,976 times a day.

11. Every day is a surprise.

12. Bodily functions are no longer repulsive. In fact, they please you. (Hooray for poop!)

13. You look at your baby in the mirror instead of yourself.

14. You become a morning person.

15. Your love becomes limitless, a superhuman power.

Other than that. My YouTube channel has been getting less and less views….but is going higher and higher on charts. So I guess that means that all of YouTube is getting less views these last few weeks and that my channel is weathering it better than most. Odd.

I’m curious to see if being on a show that’s shown all over the UK will affect my channel at all. I’m hoping it will…..but I’m not expecting anything (honestly).

Wife and I haven’t argued in a week. We met with someone to talk about our “problems” (her nagging for no reason). And things have been better lately. Hopefully that continues.

My work cut my hours as they hired another teacher. So I went from what’s considered full time for a teacher……to about half that. November is my last car payment…..so I might still be ok.

My son is a couple of weeks away from his first birthday. And he is becoming a lot more fun to hang out with now that he isn’t so little anymore. Today he was being funny and I told him I loved him….and as I said the words I felt the emotion wash over me….like being hit by a wave. I shed a tear or two. It’s amazing how sometimes by putting a feeling into words….it amplifies the emotion ten fold. Perhaps not the emotion….but the feeling of it.

Enough mushy stuff. Umm, I bought Borderlands and look forward to playing it with my friends (and Scram). Oh, and I found a Cold Stone ice cream shop not to far away. It’s awesome.

Haven’t done much riding or racing lately. But it’s always good to take a break from something you love….or hate…..probably better to take a break from something you hate…one would think. Anyway….peace out! I hate that goodbye. I’ll just say goodbye. Goodbye.

How cool is that?

Anyway….like I said….at the moment we are getting along well enough. It’s just another thing I have to do each day “Set aside time for the wife? Check.” .   3 dogs, a wife and a baby for me to look after……who looks after me? Well the answer is you guys do. The money from my last private series has done away with so much stress and hassles that I would have had. Thanks again.

So I got a new job. And I like it quite  a bit. Oddly enough I’m back at the job that I worked at first when I started to vlog…..remember the job I got fired from about 4 or 5 years ago…….the one where I pulled out a girl’s chair and she got me fired? (I didn’t pull it out…..I tilted it and pulled it….she dropped maybe one inch to the floor). Well they’ve had a few different teachers since I left and they say I teach better than any/all of them. So it’s nice to get some respect from my employers for a change.

My YouTube channel is doing well. And I’m happy about that. I talked with someone from By Any Means and they said I would be Highlighted in their Taiwan episode of the series……so no cutting room floor for me! That show will be coming out in October sometime. Keep an eye open.

Erm…..that’s about it. My son is doing very well. He is walking and talking at only 10 months old. He took his first steps at 9 months. Recently he is laughing and smiling lots…..and I commented in a video he didn’t do those much when he was younger…..so I’m loving every minute of his happiness. Sometimes when he’s out with my wife I will go to his crib and close my eyes and just imagine him there with me. And that’s after not seeing him for just a few hours…..it’s scary how much a parent can love their own child.

I’m working on starting a Motorcycle Tour company for next year. I already have a partner (who is wealthy and owns a bike dealership). And I expect by this time next year I’ll be advertising cheap tours of Taiwan with yours truly as the tour guide. I expect to meet quite a few of you then. Should be interesting.

That’s it for now. Hope all is well with you and yours as well.

Thanks…for everything, M13.

I started on a monday and a lady came in crying because her dog got out of the fence… she said it was a female corgi and weenie dog mix that was tan and white with a pink collar with green hearts… she left her info. so the office ladies could call her if we found her… guess what.. I FOUND HER DOG!!! so i go to the office and they fucking lost the owners information… the lady came back.. and they didn’t think to call me to the front or to ask her to remind them what her dog looked like and they turned her away… on Wednesday… the dog had only been there 3 days… the holding period is 5… and the manager put her down.. I came down to the dog cages and saw her take the needle out of that little dog and i flipped out.. I couldn’t help it.. I went back up to the office to go get some water and the owner of that dog had just walked in and I lost it again… the manager came upstairs and talked to the lady and i couldn’t help but feel at fault.. it was like the lady found out her child was murdered… she saw me crying and then I told the manager how cruel and irresponsible she was and i left.. the next day i told her i couldn’t work there anymore.

I had planned a great day for Mr Boorman, but right off the bat we had police, a blown engine, and a <wait for series> …….sigh…..at least the weather was good. And although I felt it was a terrible start they said it made for interesting footage…..so I guess it wasn’t all bad.

I also got to ride with Mr Boorman on the race track. He impressed me a lot with his skill. He was on a bike he’d never ridden before….on a track that would easily be the worst he’s ever been on. And he flew around it quicker than most of the locals.

Check out their Twitter updates. You can see some cool pics of their new series as it progresses “By Any Means 2″ and while you are waiting for that to come out you can get caught up on their past series which are:

Long Way Around – 2004 (television series, book and DVD)                                 Race to Dakar – 2006 Long Way Down – 2007

By Any Means – 2008                                                                     By Any Means 2 – 2009    (with M13)

Outside of racing and stunting Boorman is establishing himself as one of the most well known motorcyclists and adventurers on the planet. Nothing wrong with that        .
Check Boorman and Claudio out on there twitter pages which are updated regularly from all over the world:

My life right now is both up and down. Mordeth13’s channel is doing well. I’m getting more and more subscribers and views…and yes I care about numbers….I’ve said that since the beginning. And you guys are awesome with regards to supporting me and sticking around even when my vids get slow for a bit. My son is amazing and I’m starting to learn how big parental love is….and that’s a new and amazing experience for me….to love so large.

And on the down is……my wife. I talked with her sister today….and her sister agrees with me that my wife is suffering some sort of mental breakdown. And that we need to find her some professional help. I’m hoping they fill her full of Prozac and then I can give her a balloon to play with and stick her in a corner somewhere while I do my own stuff (and take care of my son).  I went out for a few hours the other day and she phoned me up and said that I was trying to “tire her to death” by leaving her alone with my son. And she told me to come home right away or she’d smash my computer. But on the flip side she has no problems with giving me my son for the whole weekend while she goes off to visit family.  And I’m not complaining about her going off…..I love spending time alone with my son. She’s the one who can’t.

Anyway…..so….other than my wife being a painl…..everything is going well.
