My Strange Addiction: Vine Videos



Believe it or not during the course of my first year of college I've developed an addiction. Now when I say addiction, you're probably thinking of marijuana, alcohol or even some form of pills.


As rocker Prince would say: 
" But I'm here to tell you there's something else". 

That something else just so happens to be Vine Videos. Not all those drugs mentioned above, teehee! 

For those out there with no earthy idea what a 'Vine' is; sit back and enjoy my miniature tour of the next big thing since YouTube. 

Owned by Twitter, Vine is a video sharing application where users are able to share six second clips of which plays in a continuous loop.  Users  have the option to follow their favorite Viners as well as "revine" videos they see fit for sharing with friends. For the newbie's out there it may appear quite puzzling that someone could sit for hours and watch nothing but six-second clips but it's not the time; it's the crafty things people can do in just six seconds.

Striving musicians, cute pets, sports highlights, dancing babies and even comedic teenagers plague the application daily with new 'Vines' for holidays, special events or mainly just for the hell of it. The popular app as proved to be an efficient way to get your talents out to the world... or your an embarrassing moment. 

As an avid or should I say "addicted" user of the app, I've decided to share my top five favorite Viners and one of their funniest vines (my favorite vine): 


1. Jerry Purpdrank 

Don't let the name distract you. Behind that strange stage name is an incredibly hilarious kiddo with skit style comedic talent to have you laughing for ages.

2. Curtis Lepore

Not only is this guy hilarious with his Vines impersonating girls but he is not bad to look at... Besides his charming good looks he has a side-kick canine companion named Buster Beans. Even the pup has his own Vine channel.

3. DeStorm Power

Though he may be a little older than some of the top Viners, DeStorm has killed the game with his hilarious Vines along with his son who also has a channel under the name "tayvionpower". Oh and did I mention he is a rapper?

4. Eric Dunn

Also another good looking Viner, Dunn is the average college kid with alot of time on his hands. But he choose his time alot wiser with hilarious vines that make him famous... Lucky.

5. Simone Shepard 

She is known for doing perfect impersonations of Beyonce and bringing a more spicy outlook on life. Spicy meaning "Ratchet". I still got mad love for her though!
