welcome everyone Adam the woo here that
0:07
is an airplane which coincidentally is
0:09
very kind of like ironic don't you think
0:12
it's like
0:14
rain on your wedding it's my second
0:16
channel daily Vlog channel it's the
0:18
daily woo are those are those
0:22
patunas and I showed the plane there at
0:24
the intro of the Vlog because yesterday
0:27
I flew in from Atlanta I am back in
0:29
Orange County
0:31
California back to my home where last
0:34
night I went home and I slept
0:37
well how's everyone doing today I have
0:40
something on my mind that really has
0:41
been bothering me for a
0:44
while haters trolls negative comments
0:48
people who have been following me either
0:51
for a short time or a long
0:54
time and their hateful negative
0:58
nonpositive comments
1:00
when I started doing videos a long time
1:02
ago I didn't really have a certain type
1:05
of theme that I was going to be doing I
1:07
called my videos video adventures
1:09
basically what that means is I go out I
1:13
film things I get off the
1:15
couch I get out of the house and I go
1:18
roam the country seeing wonderful things
1:22
whether that be theme parks whether that
1:24
be movie locations whether that be
1:26
abandoned locations whether that be
1:28
fantastic Road side attractions now
1:31
certain of those types of videos are
1:34
more popular than others the Roadside
1:37
Attraction videos I was actually just
1:39
talking with my friend Jacob the carpet
1:41
bagger who I hung out with he was in
1:43
yesterday's Vlog we were talking about
1:46
how roadside attractions the
1:48
popularity in the grand scheme of things
1:50
is not as great as let's say theme parks
1:53
or movie locations or abandoned videos
1:57
and stuff like that it's a very like
1:58
kind of like a smaller group a smaller
2:00
niche of people that are into that kind
2:02
of stuff but I am a fan of everything I
2:05
a fan of leaving the house getting out
2:07
of the house going out into the world
2:09
meeting people doing things putting some
2:13
positivity and goodness into the
2:16
universe and the
2:18
world and lately it has become very
2:21
difficult for me to stay the course in
2:24
that Avenue because of hateful people
2:28
people that are not on the same w length
2:30
who feel like they must actually leave
2:34
very hateful comments either on my
2:37
YouTube page or Facebook or Twitter any
2:39
of those social media Pages people that
2:42
obviously have something of an issue
2:45
with what I do they do not agree with a
2:47
certain video that I have done because I
2:50
did not do the video that they wanted me
2:52
to do and it is very disheartening there
2:55
was a point in my life when I thought
2:58
when I assumed
3:00
when I had a hope that you could please
3:03
everyone and I've talked about this in
3:06
the past that you cannot please everyone
3:08
that is a fact you cannot please
3:11
everyone there was a point when I was
3:14
starting these videos that I would get
3:16
one thumbs down two thumbs down it would
3:18
bother me it would like as I would lay
3:20
in bed I would say who would dislike
3:23
this video now the realization has
3:26
happened that there are a lot of people
3:28
who do not like
3:30
certain videos some people do not like
3:33
movie locations some people do not like
3:35
abandoned locations some people do not
3:38
like Walt Disney World Disneyland some
3:41
people do not like Universal Studios
3:43
some people do not like knottsberry Farm
3:46
or whatever else some people do not like
3:48
conventions Dragon conon ComicCon VidCon
3:51
whatever it is that I'm going out in
3:54
doing some people have an issue with it
3:59
and I can't I
4:00
guess what is the
4:02
solution to not getting hateful comments
4:06
do you block people do you block
4:08
everyone who is not 100% On Your Side
4:11
how do you separate constructive
4:14
criticism from hate how do you separate
4:18
constructive
4:20
criticism from someone who's just trying
4:23
to give you an honest opinion and
4:25
actually wants the best of you and that
4:27
brings me to the next point it
4:29
definitely makes me feel very grateful
4:32
and humbled to have the following that I
4:35
have that this whole circle of goodness
4:38
thing that has actually festooned itself
4:41
upon us it's so great to have so many
4:44
supporters Kindred Spirits those that
4:47
chime down positive kind words on a
4:50
daily basis but it's also very
4:53
interesting because a lot of the
4:55
comments on this will probably be do not
4:57
let the haters SL trolls
5:00
slash those who have reversed their
5:02
opinion of you Adam to overwhelm your
5:04
life don't let it bother you but it's
5:08
very difficult to do that because let's
5:10
say you walked out of the house every
5:12
morning let's say this was your garage
5:14
or this was your house and you pulled
5:16
your car in here and as you got out a
5:19
stranger that you had never met that had
5:22
been watching you from afar walked down
5:25
the alley and saw you walk out of the
5:26
garage and said hey
5:28
you I didn't like what you did today at
5:31
work when you were at work doing your
5:34
thing I was watching you and I didn't
5:36
really did not like the way that you did
5:38
that or what if that same person the
5:40
next day walked by and said hey you
5:43
getting out of your car out of your
5:44
garage going into your house I've been
5:46
watching what you're doing and I think
5:48
you're kind of ugly you're a little bit
5:51
overweight you're a little bit of a
5:54
person that I really do not find
5:58
attractive either
6:00
physically mentally or you said
6:03
something today that bothered me would
6:07
it be easy for you to brush that off
6:09
would that be something that you could
6:11
actually brush off especially when it
6:14
happened 20 30 40 50 times a day so that
6:20
is a problem I am dealing with now I
6:22
know they say Do not feed the trolls I'm
6:24
not pinpointing any particular one
6:26
person out there or two people or 10
6:29
people or 50 people that are out there
6:32
it is a conglomerate group and it's not
6:36
going to go away just even the fact that
6:39
I am even
6:40
bringing this subject up is not going to
6:42
change anything I just had it on my mind
6:46
it's really been bothering me there are
6:48
a lot of people who are unhappy about a
6:52
lot of things that I do and it's very
6:54
interesting too because I do not talk
6:57
about religion I do not talk about sex I
7:00
do not talk about politics I keep
7:02
everything above the belt super positive
7:06
it's all about going out having fun
7:09
having a good time staying active
7:12
bringing people into my world showing
7:14
them things that I
7:16
enjoy and some people cannot just accept
7:19
that in fact a lot of people well a
7:22
portion of those people who cannot
7:24
accept that are watching this right now
7:25
and they're going to thumbs this video
7:26
down they're probably going to chime in
7:28
with some negative comments or are going
7:29
to Stew over it so I have an invite to
7:32
you which I have thrown out in the past
7:35
if you do not agree with what I am doing
7:38
if you do not like a certain type of
7:41
video a certain Avenue or the
7:43
progression of where I am going with
7:46
these videos feel free to just say
7:49
goodbye there's the door leave through
7:52
the door it is a swinging door you can
7:54
come in you can come out the door is not
7:57
locked you can watch these videos you
7:59
can choose not to watch these videos the
8:01
choice is yours just like the choice for
8:04
me to go out and film whatever I want to
8:06
film is mine it's all about choices
8:09
there are a million other people on
8:12
YouTube doing the types of videos that
8:14
you want to see I am going to do all
8:17
types of videos I'm going to do theme
8:19
parks I'm going to do abandoned
8:21
locations I'm going to do filming
8:22
locations I'm going to do roadside
8:24
attractions I'm going to go to
8:26
conventions all of this I am going to do
8:28
and I'm going to continue this daily
8:31
Vlog as well going on progressing on and
8:35
that's another thing when you do a video
8:38
every single day obviously you're going
8:41
to say something that someone does not
8:42
agree with you're going to slip up
8:44
you're going to say something that
8:46
someone it might offend someone even
8:48
though you do not mean to offend them
8:50
here comes a
8:51
truck right
8:54
here so like I was saying you cannot
8:56
please everyone if you are not not a fan
9:00
of what I am doing and I use the word
9:03
not a fan meaning if you are not a fan
9:05
of the videos I'm doing when it comes to
9:07
following me I do not believe in the
9:09
word fan I believe in the word Kindred
9:11
Spirits friends that I have not met or
9:14
that I have
9:15
met this whole circle of
9:19
goodness and do not misunderstand me
9:22
because there is an overwhelming amount
9:25
of supporters in comparison to the
9:28
negative but remember the analogy I was
9:30
talking about if you were in that garage
9:33
and you had someone every day hounding
9:36
you criticizing you eventually you need
9:40
to let off some let off some steam B it
9:43
that's what I'm doing so that's what
9:44
this Vlog is about it is good to be back
9:46
in Orange County I have a lot on the
9:48
agenda I have a lot of good fun plans
9:51
and those that are sticking around for
9:54
the fun will be very excited to know
9:57
that there's some there's some good
9:59
stuff on on the horizon I have lots of
10:02
things up my
10:04
sleeve and let's face it even the ones
10:06
that do not like what I do that are I
10:10
hate to use the word haters too I hate
10:12
the word haters which people always say
10:14
haters are your motivator motivators I
10:17
do not believe I do not agree with that
10:21
terminology haters are your motivators
10:24
haters never propelled anything that
10:26
I've done in my life I have never had
10:28
someone standing over my shoulder saying
10:31
I can't stand you I can't stand you I
10:34
have never taken that and turned that
10:36
into motivational momentum for me it
10:40
always holds me back I always look at
10:42
the positive the positive people the
10:44
people that are in my corner that say go
10:46
out do it we are behind you out those
10:48
are the people that motivate me whoever
10:51
came up with this phrase haters are my
10:53
motivators I do not agree with that I
10:56
completely rebuke that phrase haters are
10:59
not my motivators my motivators are you
11:01
guys the positive people who are the
11:03
Kindred Spirits those who've always been
11:06
in my corner and I really really really
11:09

11:13
