I've been a Port Authority bus driver for nearly 20 years. I've been in just about every neighborhood in this city. At some point I for various reasons I grew.....a distaste for this city. About a year ago I subscribed to your Channel and saw the city from a different View, other than from behind the steering wheel of a bus. YOU inspired me to get into bicycling,YOU inspired me to get out and explore again, but most of all YOU made me LOVE this city again. I hope that will inspire YOU to continue doing what you LOVE
Can't get much better of an answer to an existential crises than that! Also, good on ya for not being too jaded. I think I would hate this city too even after driving a city bus for 20 minutes.
The point of doing anything is to grow and learn and experience life. There is a life of stagnation and resignation, and then there is a life of mistakes and failures filled with love and experimentation. Real life is a mix of both these things. No one has any of it figured out. The best you can do is try, and hope you tried it right.
Hey I’m not sure if you’ll see this comment, but my intro to college class at Pitt is using your neighborhood videos as a replacement for actually exploring the city. Love your videos man, keep it up
hey Dean.... 37 years ago I stepped into a vat of boiling hot french fryer grease by accident. Never thought I'd walk again. Still got the scars, but I put the docs to shame by becoming a runner. Love your videos, don't stop stopping, fuck that injury, you will overcome.
To answer your question at my age of 61 I have had and still have goals both small and large that help me find meaning and fulfillment . I like your artist's prayer Dean and remember to give thanks when you see your prayers answered. :)
There is no real point to anything. That’s why you do what you love and surround yourself with people you love and just enjoy the short amount of time we have on this planet.
Many videos on RUclips, I would classify simply as content. Dean Bog’s videos, I classify as art. The juxtaposition of silliness and seriousness in this one is fantastic. P.S. Neib’rhoods of America? Yes.
I'm an old hippie/blue collar/conservative/non-conformist thinking of moving to Pittsburg from Florida. I started watching your videos to learn about Pittsburg but your prospective has helped me look closer at the people. Thanks Dean keep on following your dreams.
Way to go with the plantasia. Dean you're an inspiration. The point of doing anything is that you're inspiring other pittsburghers to care about their neighbors. Keep it up
I’ve lived in Pittsburgh my whole life and you always give a fresh and accurate prospective.I honestly enjoy the true nostalgia of your work! Thank you Dean!!
And just in case you're getting a little too introspective, end with a nose picking shot. That was perfect, and I loved it. You're gonna do everything you want to do, Dean. This too shall pass.
“Your conflicts, all the difficult things, the problematic situations in your life are not chance or haphazard. They are actually yours. They are specifically yours, designed specifically for you by a part of you that loves you more than anything else. The part of you that loves you more than anything else has created roadblocks to lead you to yourself. You are not going in the right direction unless there is something pricking you in the side, telling you, “Look here! This way!” That part of you loves you so much that it doesn’t want you to lose the chance. It will go to extreme measures to wake you up, it will make you suffer greatly if you don’t listen. What else can it do? That is its purpose.” A.H. Almaas
All of your work is a celebration of the little details of life. Each byte is an affirmation that the good outweighs the bad. (In fact, if we're honest with ourselves for a second, it's not even close.) Such perfect intricacy cannot be the result of coincidence. Every person and every thing has its purpose. Yours is clearer than most. You should focus on the good (as you do) and highlight that, because that helps others to do so too. That is a very big and meaningful purpose for a life....So don't waste a second; maximize your talent to help others appreciate the universe of love.
The point of doing anything at all is relationships. People make an erroneous assumption that they are a localized unity that is separate from everything else in the universe because they enjoy a unique perspective (i.e., a "self") that looks at the rest of the world. Instead, we are the relationships we have with everything. We know who we are only through our interactions with others and our environment. Heidegger said something similar, that when "Dasein" ceases to relate through Being-in-the-world, Dasein is "no more there-being" (nicht-mehr-Dasein). We are what we do, what we are passionately engaged with, who we relate to, and even the qualitative way in which we relate to things and people.
I am usually brought to at least some teary eyes or a few tears when I watch deans videos but this one actually made me cry tears of joy/sadness joy for all the greatness in this world and to not give up. Sadness to see the struggles people go through. Thank you Dean much love from Endicott NY hope to visit the steel city again soon! Stay safe happy holidays 🤟🏼🎁😆😆😆
For me, think the point is to discover and truly be yourself, to love self and others, and to create and your videos do a wonderful job of all three! I really enjoy your perspectives of Pittsburgh and the style you use to show it off! Keep your head up and as another comment states - this too shall pass.
Really miss your neighborhood videos but your philosophical side is engaging. I took a philosophy class in high school and decided I fit th Stoic profile and still do. While you recover I hope you do more meaning-of-life videos in the artful way that only you can.
What a nice video. Plantasia was an unexpected but wonderful touch. You've shown us so much of the world outside but this is the first time that we've really caught a glimpse inside your world. It would be cool to see more.
Love what you're creating with your hometown channel. Got my sub and looking forward to watching more of your videos. I guess the point of doing anything is that everything changes, everything. Nothing can remain the same so why dwell on BS when you can be doing anything fun, creative, meaningful. You are obviously doing what you love and by even asking that question, you are doing more than you did yesterday. I live in downtown. You make awesome productions. Keep doing this until something changes, for you. :)
You don't need to be told what the purpose of doing anything is, because your last video already answered that. You said, you want to get over this temporary situation you are in, in order to get back to doing the things you love. Doing those things gave you satisfaction, that that's what keeps motivating you. But, that's not all what life is about. For one, you chose to be here, whether you remember it or not, you made a choice to come to Earth at one time. With that, you were given Free Agency to make your own choices in life. One of the main objectives is, making good choices, and quite frankly, that questions that will be asked of you later in time are interestingly enough, things that are written on that piece of paper. If you follow what you were inspired to write, you will learn later how beneficial those choices were. You have a good Spirit about you, so make yourself proud, and do it.
Maybe not the best venue to say so but if you have access to continuing PT, go!! It's so important for proper healing and strength. A really good PT therapist can make all the difference in orthopedic recoveries!
Am I missing something? Did you break up with someone? Is your dog okay? Is it all your poor ankle? (PS. blew out my ankle in Walnut Creek, CA high ankle style. Your's is worse, but your progress is remarkable. Regardless, it takes years. Y.E.A.R.S to get back to as normal as you can be. Take this at this: You are an excellent narrative artist. More please.)
The irony of the question, is that you are in fact, doing something by questioning a lack of motivation. A hero can not exist inside of a vacuum (whatever that means). Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to go to Mercy Hospital and inquire about Operation Safety Net. Do a video on it. It will answer your question, and (hopefully) make you smile. God bless! 🙂
Another Bog Alert, so soon? Damn, maybe there IS some hope for 2020. Your Artist's Prayer is wonderful to see -- even though you've already clearly demonstrated it through your work already. There's some more steaming cheese sauce(TM) for you.

When you can make a video about there not being a point to anything that ends with "idk man" and it is still really enjoyable to watch, then you got something special. Please keep being cheesy and wide eyed. I think the universe could use that a lot.
Because if you're not doing anything then you're doing nothing. And if you do nothing you will become nothing aka cease to exist. That's why they say, "you can be anything you put your mind to" 😁

absolutely love this.
I suggest you watch the movie Taxi Driver, you sound very familiar to the main protagonist

Hey I’m not sure if you’ll see this comment, but my intro to college class at Pitt is using your neighborhood videos as a replacement for actually exploring the city. Love your videos man, keep it up
To answer the thesis question; To have some fun while you can, because you can't have fun once you're dead.
Yeah thats about it, and make others happy along the way :)

Your place looks like it would if I was asked to imagine it. 💜
Please never stop making videos! Your work is incredible and puts out a lot of good into the world.
I’ve lived in Pittsburgh my whole life and you always give a fresh and accurate prospective.I honestly enjoy the true nostalgia of your work!
Thank you Dean!!
And just in case you're getting a little too introspective, end with a nose picking shot. That was perfect, and I loved it. You're gonna do everything you want to do, Dean. This too shall pass.
I love how there's a glorious "sun emerging from behind the clouds" key change at 5:05, just before that shot. The perfect contrast.
Loved all of the PITTSBURGH NEIGHBOURHOODS videos...I clicked on this, and this is just as good!

So good to see you back at videos. I’m sure it’s rough but it’s great to see you back

Add the line to that prayer, “Help me to expect nothing in return for any of this”. That’s the point.
That ankles gotta be so frustrating

Awesome question and sounds!
Bro I love your style of recording videos this is high level production
this made me feel…less confused about..being confused……. thank you:)
Its a good question with some vague answers.
You answered your own question my dude, you only ask it when you're not doing things
Really miss your neighborhood videos but your philosophical side is engaging. I took a philosophy class in high school and decided I fit th Stoic profile and still do. While you recover I hope you do more meaning-of-life videos in the artful way that only you can.
To honor the near-infinite improbability that joy exists.
Seeing the title, I legit thought you were going to do a "Neighborhoods" video for just Point Park downtown. Ha ha
You’ve been making videos! Awesome! Not sure why they never showed in my feed.
thanks man. i needed this today. i like your style.
Nothing like a fresh Dean Bog video the second it comes out! 😁
keep making content, anything you make is entertaining.
Jerry,,is that you??
I have that same Pittsburgh print I saw in the apartment. I love it.
What a nice video. Plantasia was an unexpected but wonderful touch. You've shown us so much of the world outside but this is the first time that we've really caught a glimpse inside your world. It would be cool to see more.
I really hope your foot feels better soon dude and you get through this period. That's really awesome that you used the plantasia song.
Plantasia music good

Bean dog back at it
the point is admiring how sunlight falls on things and collecting tchotchkes. bada bing bada boom
Man, when they giving you the key to the city ?
that was a great video love and light
I can't believe the comments are not all about this: "Neib'rhoods of America. Idea."
THE KENDAMA GUY GOT IT
Nice music choice! I love Plantasia!!!
GREAT video. I really loved it, do more like this one
I hope I can run into you somewhere in the burgh Dean. You seem like a rad dude. I'd definitely grab you a craft beer/cider for a roadsoda!
Keep your light shinin, man
I miss the neighborhood vids
Dean you're alright. Hope your ankle gets alright soon too. 🙂
Glad to see your getting the bats out of the belfry...and the cave, at the end.

Mmmm maybe the point is just to make a cup of tea and watch Dean Bog vods
How the heck do you make everything so beautiful, Dean.
I love love love this! Thanks for not making this preach-y but posing the question!
I think the point is get to end without hating yourself.
Another Bog Alert, so soon? Damn, maybe there IS some hope for 2020.
Your Artist's Prayer is wonderful to see -- even though you've already clearly demonstrated it through your work already. There's some more steaming cheese sauce(TM) for you.
LOVE THIS DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahhh I'm so happy to see your content again!
I like this aspect ratio dean. it feels right.
I absolutely love this.
Song is Mort Garson - Plantasia
Glad to see you creating again
love @. great vid :)
That was dope

The Auvi-Q is an essential
AWE HELL YEAH DEAN!!!
This is a super interesting. Really live it man 🙌🏻🌙
When you can make a video about there not being a point to anything that ends with "idk man" and it is still really enjoyable to watch, then you got something special. Please keep being cheesy and wide eyed. I think the universe could use that a lot.
Because you want to do it.
To be part of the community and for a chance to help others.
thank you for this, dean bug
i'm such a fan. ty
Your best work so far
You brought a tear to my eyes
Keep up the great work you nut
Your work is important
Because if you're not doing anything then you're doing nothing. And if you do nothing you will become nothing aka cease to exist. That's why they say, "you can be anything you put your mind to" 😁
You have no choice other than to be here. Might as well make it worth it.
he's back baby
Yeehaw welcome to the Run neighbor
What happend to the neighborhood videos,,, just got old ? It was enjoyable.
But did you wash your hands before picking your nose?🤨
A Pittsburgh nose picking. Reminds me of Andy Warhol's famous picture done while studying art at Carnegie Tech
he back baby :)
Stay Motivated, nothing wrong with feeling down, just don't stay there too long. Still Praying🖤💛✨🙏🏾✨🖤💛
Plantasia 👉👈❤️❤️❤️
What kind of camera do you use ?
Yep. This was good
hilarious
Where the neighborhoods at?
What does it all mean,,what is the piont?? Ehh what's it matter,have fun with life from one dean to another!
bug gives zero fucks..... cut that bug in half and its survival instincts take effect. That bug knows what it has to do, be that bug,
I must have butt subscribed in my sleep. I dont remember ever seeing this guy. I'd say it was a conspiracy youtube but I'm not feeling it
Bog in Russian means God.
