I've lived in Los Angeles, Miami and New York City and Iowa has the best quality of life anywhere. I think this is a local kid who hat put a "show of independence" on YouTube. Thanks for your comment. MB I agree Liz. I’ve lived in Los Angeles, Miami and New York City and Iowa has the best quality of life anywhere.

Ashton I get. I almost even get dissing Des Moines (being a CR girl myself). I think he just likes saying "Iowa sucks", and hope someday his vocabulary expands a tad - clearly he's in need of a good Iowa Public School education (his profile claims he's 21, but he's acting like a snot-nosed kid). Having lived in places like Washington DC, the San Francisco Bay Area and Portland OR, I can say that Iowa is not fundamentally different than any of those places. Except that people are nicer, traffic is better, air quality is better, cost of living is lower, etc. People are the same everywhere, needing to eat, work, recreate, have relationships... Life is what you make of it, wherever you happen to be. I just hope the kid in that video someday learns there's a reason we have two eyes, two ears and only one mouth.

Unless you're willing to set down the camera on a tripod and just let things happen, you are always making subjective decisions about what will be in the video, whether it be with editing, transitions, framing or music selections.
