I was lucky enough to get to see #starwarstheforceawakens on opening day early in the morning. When I got there the good people at @cinemark were giving out these @lego @starwars booklets, and I couldn’t help but think of @ijustine so I grabbed a copy. That’s the power of an awesome community such as @youtube and I couldn’t be happier to be a part of it. #starwars #starwarsfan #legostarwars #ijustine #youtube #youtuber #youtubers (at Cinemark Jess Ranch)
I am truly speechless. Ok not really. I am so excited because I was just contacted by @target_sharetheforce and my funny picture of me at @target with Chewbacca was chosen to be added to the first collection of photos to be added to Lucasfilm! I am going to be a part of @starwars history! I am a huge Star Wars fan, and I can’t wait to see the new movie, and be a small part of this legacy! Thank you to all you guys and my Avina Vlogs family on @youtube bc without you and the channel, I never would have had the courage or nonchalant attitude to take a photo like that. It goes to show you that you never know what can happen when you let your guard down and have fun! #starwarstheforceawakens #starwarsgeek #starwarsfan #starwars #sharetheforce #youtube #youtuber #youtubers #youtubecrew #lucasfilm

YouTube Goals:
Hey everyone. This is your friendly neighborhood author Anthony Avina here, and I wanted to write this more personal blog post regarding what it is exactly I envision for my YouTube channel. When I first began the channel, I was about 10X more shy than I am now. I did it to connect with an audience regarding my books and to get over my awkward shyness. However, the channel quickly grew into a place where I can share my daily life with you guys, and a place to not only record my memories, but to share my creative passions with you all. I daily vlog on the channel, so that is where the name Avina Vlogs came into play. However, I do so much more there. I do a weekly podcast called The Writers Corner, which has grown into a full blown audio podcast that is also on iTunes and Soundcloud. I also have weekly random videos such as challenges, tags, short films, or whatever else I fancy, to bring out the creative side and more outgoing side of my personality to share with you all. I’ve also recently added review videos to my channel, in which I will review movies, television, music, books, video games, conventions, products and so much more.
Now because my channel has grown so much more than I imagined, I have begin to see the channel as an equal partnership with my writing career. I want to be a full time author and writer, and in that same thought, I want to have a YouTube career. I want to share my daily life, travel around the world sharing my adventures with you guys, and I want to constantly entertain with my videos. I have already grown to nearly 520 subscribers, and would love to hit 1,000 in a few months. This thought got me thinking about the possibility of hitting some milestones here on YouTube, and so I made a list of things I could do for you guys once I hit these milestones. I want to give back to those who join my community and subscribe, so here are some incentives for joining the Avina Vlogs Family.
