    Only Brian can make me go through the emotional rollercoaster of: laugh, have an existential crisis, laugh, existential crisis, laugh, get melancholic, learn a new word to describe said melancholy, and then a reminder to be more willing to invite my friends over

    When I was in the psych ward I was really bored alot of the time, and my friends coming to see me and break me out (/J) for supervised outings was one of the few bright spots. So I decided to paint a sad clown, initially to brighten up my hospitals room but after I got out, I decided I was going to give it to the first of my friends to move out. I'm going to give them my celebratory sad clown tomorrow ( they actually have a creepy hallway to hang it in!)

    I can't stand blank walls, so in college I started hitting up thrift stores for flat bedsheets to pin on the walls like tapestries. They cover a lot of empty space, they're easier and cheaper than paint or wallpaper, you can change them as often as you want, and they come in all kinds of colors and patterns. Kid's sheets are especially fun, I've had Mario, TARDIS pattern, Hogwarts, and Spider-Man over the years. Two bucks and a few pushpins can completely transform a room.

      RS_Mind The moment he said he wasn't going to use any paper, I became absolutely sure this was a duplicate Brian, sent to destroy everything he has created and murder everyone in a fit of lunacy, and was in the middle of my hearfelt and incredibly detailed plan of finishing the video before I jumped to conclusions when he said he bought 1000 feet of butcher paper and I realized I was wrong.
      He wasn't a duplicate sent to destroy everything Brian had built.
      He was A BRIAN DAVID GILBERT WHO HAD ASCENDED TO THE HIGHEST PEAK OF EXISTENCE THROUGH HIS DEVOTION TO SONNY THE HEDGEHOG AND HIS QUILTING CIRCLE.

It's doubly hard for people with depression and/or anxiety as they can feel guilty and/or unworthy. So seeing this fear be disproven in a way in this video is both elating and cathartic. It's a reminder that while it can be hard to reach out, the rewards are incredible. You know the whole 'mortifying ordeal of being known' thing

      Don't worry. It's logistically impossible to maintain more than about three friendships. Everyone who claims to have more best friends than that is either a liar or seriously overstating his own popularity.

      And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou make a CZcams comment. Then, shalt thou garner replies in count of three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt garner, and the number of the garnering shall be three. Four shalt thou not yet garner, nor either garner thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then, knowith thou that thou hath made a funny CZcams comment."

    W.H. Auden once wrote, "We must love one another or die." He definitely wasn't expecting that poem to reflect the themes of a CZcams video about churning out sad clown paintings in a tiny NYC apartment for an experiment based on the Sims when he put pen to paper in 1939, but here we are.
