Vlogbrothers: Best Wishes!

I'm a bit of a YouTube nut......
There! I admitted it! I watch Youtube WAY too much!
However, for me it isn't a really bad thing, since most of what I watch is educational.
You know......vsauce, TEDtalks, viheart, etc.
But my favorite YouTubers by far are the Vlogbrothers.

This is John Green (please excuse the sharpie face).
He is the author of The Fault in Our Stars, Paper Towns, Looking for Alaska, and An Abundance of Katherines. He's also collaborated with other authors to make books such as Will Grayson, Will Grayson,  Geektastic, Let It Snow, and more.
This guy is in my top 10 bestest people ever list.

This is Hank Green.
He's a musician.
Also a huge science nerd.
He has released songs such as A Song About An Anglerfish, Strange Charm, and Accio Deathly Hallows.
He was also a producer of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, which he won an Emmy for.
He's pretty cool (at least as cool as the geekiest geek to ever geek can get :).

These two are pretty cool by themselves, but when you COMBINE THEM......it's sort of like the emotional explosion that happened when the guy who made pizza first tasted his amazing creation.
Hank and John started a Youtube channel called Brotherhood 2.0 on January 1, 2007 ((well, technically December 31, 2006 since Hank did a weird starter video :/ )).
This channel was created with the idea that for an entire year, these two would use NO textual communication. No texting, emailing, letter writing (but face it, who writes letters anymore?), or anything of the sort. They could communicate through telephone calls, face to face, and of course, vlogs.
For one glorious year, they made a video every week day, going back and forth between themselves. But then that year ended, and their by then very large fandom ((a.k.a- Nerdfighters)) were thrown into a panic.
 "OHMYGOD THEY'RE GOING TO STOP MAKING VIDEOS!"
"WHAT WILL I DO WITH MY TIME NOW!?!?"
"THERE WILL BE TOO MANY PEEPS WITHOUT JOHNS TO EAT THEM!!"
However, their panic was unnecessary. John and Hank decided to continue the channel, renaming it Vlogbrothers. The channel is still going strong, with John making videos on Tuesdays, and Hank on Fridays.

Pretty cool, right?
What? You haven't seen the educational part of this yet?
Well okay then. Though Vlogbrothers is educational in itself, here are other channels that they've created ((or helped create)) that are VERY smartsy.

1. SciShow: This is a channel run by Hank, that's pretty much him explaining science things. He explains everything from Tardigrades to why we need sleep. Very educational, and very interesting.

2. Crash Course: This is a channel with both John and Hank. Each video is Hank or John giving a 12-ish minute lesson about whatever they're talking about that day. Hank does science lessons, John does Social Studies and Literature.

3.Mental Floss: Yes, like Mental Floss the magazine. John is the one that mostly does this channel, and it's basically him just telling us a list of obscure things. It's a trivia junkie's dream come true.

I guess while I'm listing all of the things that they do, I should include the charity part.

1. Project for Awesome: ((the link is for last year, since I couldn't find one I could get to for 2013. Sorry)).Once a year, the Vlogbrothers call on Nerdfighters to promote their favorite charities in a YouTube video. Then, they get these videos to be the most liked and most viewed to get them on the front page of YouTube, and encourage the online community to give back.

2. This Star Won't Go Out: Back in 2010, John met with a nerdfighter named Esther Earl. She was a sixteen year old who unfortunately had cancer. She was an awesome person, but she unfortunately died a few years ago. Since then, the charity This Star Won't Go Out has been made to support Esther's family and to support other families with kids who have cancer.

So ya, these guys really get around.
I don't think it takes too much explaining as to why I look up to them so much.
They're both super duper intelligent, and incredibly generous with everything they have. They give their time, money, and effort into helping other people, wither it's supporting charities, writing funny songs to get people through the day, or writing heart wrenching books that crush your soul.

I'm looking at you John.

Be prepared for a post about this book later.

In conclusion, these guys are great. They're awesome and have really become a big part of my life in the almost year that I've known that they exist. 

So yep.

That's really all there is to say on the matter.

Adios.
