The Spoony Experiment - Because bad movies and games deserve to be hurt back!

I got laid off from my job today. I absolutely hated every second of it, but it’s still hard to take. My folks are really disappointed in me, I’m feeling pretty dejected, and job prospects at the moment are bleak.

It pretty much caps off the most miserable year of my life. I can never remember a time when I was so consistently bored, stressed-out, and unhappy. Maybe some of you are cuing up the Linkin Park, and you’re probably justified, but despite my relative successes in other fronts, you’ve seen me at my lowest point. Don’t get me wrong, you guys were the bright points of the year. Making videos and entertaining you with them are the good times I’ll remember. I’ve been knocked down a lot over the past 12 months, and despite the fact I’ve taken a lot of time to keep pulling myself together, you’ve stuck with me. Thanks for that.

I’ve also met some great new people at That Guy With the Glasses, and we’ve left several YouTube milestones in the dust. Over 13,000 subscribers and climbing. I’m amazed.

I don’t know what the future holds for me. It’s pretty scary. I hated that damn job, but it represented stability at least. But now…I guess we’ll see.

Hey, man, don’t feel bad. I got laid off at the beginning of this year and have YET to find a job. Like the guy above said, your videos and your site have brought me hours of enjoyment that I know I’ll cherish. The depression is awful and almost unbearable at times, but getting through it is what makes us stronger. Stick in there, Spoony.

So wait, we’re in an economic crisis, you’re job laid you off because of financial reasons, and your folks are disappointed in you….?…Why….?

  I’m lucky to not have parents who would ever be like that.
  
  I like how almost no one has commented on this, by the way. If this was posted today, this would be filled with a fuckload of comments, all kissing Spoony’s ass.

    People want to show support for a man who just lost financial stability. That’s not really ass kissing. That’s something to be genuinely concerned about.
    
    Now forgiving him for his constant overuse of Vlogs in place of actual scripted reviews, now THAT’S ass kissing.

      You’re right. “Ass kissing” might have been the wrong phrase to use here. His fans have become a lot more caring (or they’re just a lot more, but still the same percentage of people who just want videos and people who are genuinely interested in HIM).
