Self-post, not trying to karma whore guys! I'm actually a longtime lurker, but eh. [Video's here.](

My best friend of 15 years is going travelling around the world for 9 months and I think he's a super funny guy, so I convinced him to do a vlog of his travels to share with all his family and friends what he's doing. The above video was his pre-departure vlog. He had it hidden for ages and would only let a couple of us see it. He is an extremely sarcastic SAP at the best of times, and super self-conscious. But regardless he's actually pretty funny in the vid!

He left tonight (Australian time) from the airport and I was due to go with him but work called me in last minute. I have a new job as a waiter and they basically threatened to fire me if I didn't turn up in an hours time. I regrettably missed the send-off, and due to my own long-term student exchange plans, I won't be seeing him for almost 2 years now! I feel terrible.

So literally the night before he left I told him to put his video on public as a 'trial' run, and to post it on Facebook, which he hasn't done yet. I would *love* to surprise him with a couple of views. It will blow his mind.
<bot>: Missed my best mate's send-off due to shitty job, won't see him for 2 years, he just made his vlog public and want to surprise him with a view count divisible by 10.
