I really try not to video-spam people's friends list, I only post something when I think it's just absolutely exceptional and deserves to be seen.  And I've never posted a video of a talented kid because there's so many of them, and every time you think you've found the most talented kid in the world, next thing you know another one pops up even ( Read more... )
