September 15, 20144 Comments

 

Not About That Life is back and realer than ever. In this installment, I address issues ranging from topless men playing basketball to domestic abuse.

For those wanting more insight on my feelings in the video, let me just say A) There is a dude who always takes his shirt at the gym off B) I am always guarding him. There was no hyperbole in that statement.

As far as my stance on the domestic abuse issue with Ray Rice, the video was shocking, egregious, and disgusting. However, I still do not agree with people who say “A man should never hit a woman.”

Let me be clear, I have never hit a woman and was raised to never do so. I just feel the phrase cheapens the actions of women who abuse men, as well as puts guys into ethical dilemma when defending themselves.

Domestic abuse is not ok regardless of sex. Assault is not ok regardless of sex.

What do you think of the whole situation?

This top Top 100 video officially took the longest to edit of any other video I’ve ever made. With that being said, a lot of it had to do with my transition to another editing software (Final Cut 7 to Premiere CC), however, this was still a beast to edit.

I would like to thank my parents for allowing me to say these things while remaining alive as well as my sister who helped filmed a majority of the video!

Hope you enjoy Top 100 Things Parents Never Want To Hear! Was it worth all the editing?
