We can't say for sure whether or not Hank Green travels less now than he used to, but he sure had plenty of opportunities to vlog about his various adventures around the United States in 2007. (Unfortunately, the more famous you get the less freedom you have to announce where you are in the world at any given moment, but we don't need to think about that right now).

Hello again (or hello for the very first time, perhaps) and welcome back (or just plain old welcome) to Vlogbrothers Rewatch! In this ongoing series, I am in the process of rewatching every Vlogbrothers video on their YouTube channel from the very beginning, in order, using this playlist. I'm going through one video per day and writing a little commentary about it, because why not?

I'm doing this in an effort to actively seek out joy and rediscover old things I used to love that I still really, really like in order to remember that there is a wholesome purpsoe for living. Which is a funny statement to make considering much of this video focuses on the subject of death.

Hank does what I'll call some "morbid math" in this video, which I actually appreciate as someone who has never been particularly good at math. If you're going to do math, there might as well be a good reason for it. I, personally, only tend to do math when it's fun. I leave the less fun math for other people, like Hank Green.

I suddenly feel the urge to travel. Which would actually be a very bad idea since it's the day after Thanksgiving in the United States and traveling anywhere outside of my home would be a nightmare. I think I'll watch more old YouTube videos instead.
