welcome everyone
0:05
adam in the woo here
0:08
to an off the cuff unplanned
0:16
i could say unscripted but i i never
0:16
script anything
0:18
but i do edit
0:22
usually the first few years of my
0:25
career here on youtube well on the daily
0:28
woo
0:29
unedited channel it started off as an
0:31
unedited channel
0:32
until about two or three years in i've
0:34
been
0:36
gosh i've been on this i've been on the
0:38
daily woo for maybe seven years now
0:40
eight years give or take i stopped doing
0:42
the every single day
0:44
at 1911 days but it five years and two
0:47
months
0:48
that's when i stopped that and now i
0:50
just kind of pepper in a few here or
0:52
there but the last three months or so
0:54
the last 90 days i have not missed today
0:56
i've been going
0:57
going pretty strong and just
1:01
carrying forward but the early days for
1:04
those who remember
1:06
were all unedited in every
1:10
every fashion you can think of i would
1:12
take my right now i have my phone
1:14
usually i film on my dslr
1:16
or my canon g7x
1:19
which is just like a little smaller
1:21
point type
1:22
type of camera but today going old
1:25
school
1:26
bringing out the cell phone the
1:29
smartphone
1:31
the iphone a phone which
1:34
some ask if you're starting if you're
1:37
starting to do vlogs and videos
1:39
you don't really need anything fancy in
1:41
fact
1:43
technology has dictated and proven that
1:46
it is
1:47
fancy enough just to use the phone i
1:49
will use something that has a little
1:50
better zoom
1:52
or maybe a wide angle or a microphone on
1:55
top or a low light
1:57
which is good but if you're just out in
1:58
the park like this in all reality in all
2:01
honesty all you need
2:02
is this now i will apologize in advance
2:04
you'll probably hear a little wind noise
2:06
i cannot tell until after the fact but
2:08
it will all be one take saved for
2:12
if something happens or someone cruises
2:15
by
2:15
in close proximity either walking or on
2:18
a bicycle
2:19
blaring some sort of
2:23
some sort of loud music
2:26
or words that should not be said that i
2:29
might i might have to
2:30
to chop it up but i'm going to i'm
2:32
hoping to have this be an unedited
2:34
video current time it is about 5 p.m
2:38
and i was kind of resting
2:41
resting the phone against this coffee
2:44
this
2:45
was piping hot but now it's probably
2:46
cooled down just a little bit
2:50
oh yeah it's just right i did not get
2:51
enough cream or sugar though i asked for
2:52
one cream one sugar
2:55
and that's fine for a small or a medium
2:57
i do not
2:58
know this is starbucks which for a long
3:01
time i would not drink starbucks it was
3:02
a little too
3:03
a little too strong a little too bitter
3:04
for my taste but i have
3:06
become accustomed to it and worked it
3:08
into my
3:10
my taste bud vernacular
3:13
so now i don't starbucks i don't mind so
3:15
i drink quite a bit of that
3:16
mostly because it is the most prevalent
3:18
and most prominent
3:20
everywhere you go on every corner
3:23
you will see one of these unless you're
3:24
in canada and then it's tim hortons tim
3:26
horton's
3:27
side note for those who have not been to
3:29
canada and this could just be a mystique
3:31
in my mind from
3:32
touring in a band and traveling into
3:33
canada but it appears to me that there
3:36
are
3:36
more when you're on a when you're on a
3:39
main thoroughfare
3:41
in canada there are more tim hortons
3:43
than there are starbucks by a long shot
3:45
now this
3:46
is probably just my memory failing me
3:47
but that's just the way i always
3:49
remember it
3:55
today is august 10th 2020
3:55
making it my 46th birthday i'm
4:01
46
4:04
years old as of this moment as of right
4:07
now
4:09
i'm 46 years old it has passed
4:13
so it was the morning time i believe
4:15
when i talked to my
4:16
parents a while back i saw my birth
4:18
certificate and it
4:20
showed the time i believe don't hold me
4:21
to this but i think it was around three
4:23
or four a.m
4:24
now i am about to double check either
4:28
way today is the official day i don't
4:30
have that i don't have i wish i could
4:31
share
4:32
probably should have done a little
4:33
research beforehand but
4:36
the exact time is up for
4:39
discretion argumentation
4:42
and consideration this is a freeway
4:45
right here
4:46
california calls those highways
4:49
and there's interstates in florida they
4:52
call them interstates here in california
4:54
in socal
4:56
which i don't even know if that's a
4:57
proper term socal southern california
5:00
i know i know i've heard people say that
5:02
if you call california cali
5:04
but that is frowned upon but i will say
5:06
callie so i'll say socal more than i'll
5:08
say cali but i do say cali
5:10
as well which shows that i am not i am
5:13
not
5:14
an eternal resident of here i just moved
5:16
here risa first time i moved here was in
5:18
2015 on new year's eve
5:21
i drove from florida on the 28th of
5:23
december of 2014
5:25
arrived in california
5:29
on new year's eve went to disneyland
5:34
stood on main street usa watch the
5:35
fireworks
5:37
which brings me to another point oh yeah
5:39
then a month or two later i moved
5:42
into a house near the orange circle and
5:44
now i am back in this vicinity
5:47
not in the same house but another one
5:51
which is very interesting to be back in
5:53
the same neighborhood after
5:55
uprooting once again in 2016 and
5:57
traveling
5:58
being in the van and buying an rv and
6:00
doing
6:02
doing all that but disneyland
6:07
is not open today which
6:10
is interesting i do not all know all the
6:13
rhymes all the reasons
6:15
all the inside information all the
6:17
opinions
6:18
the facts i am not a knowledgeable man
6:26
i do research on certain things but even
6:26
with research
6:28
when it is something that is documented
6:29
from years past there's usually a
6:31
clear-cut
6:32
answer but when it comes to current
6:34
events
6:36
it sometimes it takes some time to show
6:40
what is the reality it's always
6:43
everything is a learning there's always
6:45
a curve there's always a learning angle
6:48
and it's especially in this situation it
6:51
is a day by day where new information
6:53
goes out there now florida which i was
6:55
at for three and a half weeks
6:57
they had all their theme parks open
7:01
universal sea world
7:04
disney world all of those are open
7:16
for anaheim's disneyland or
7:16
universal city
7:24
universal city i got distracted there
7:24
for a second because i was trying to
7:25
think
7:26
universal city is the name of the city
7:29
the town
7:31
the universal studios hollywood is in
7:33
it's not in hollywood it's in universal
7:34
city
7:36
when i said it it didn't sound right but
7:37
now that i double that like
7:39
double train double double
7:43
check with the noggin it's true
7:47
usually on this day on my birthday
7:49
august 10th 1974 is when i was born
7:53
now on in 1974 i did not go to
7:55
disneyland i did not go on
7:57
gumbo which has become my yearly
7:59
tradition
8:00
i don't know if i've done it every year
8:03
also i do have the the item here
8:07
in the back that i kind of walked up the
8:09
hill with in the parking area
8:12
there's no one around there are a couple
8:13
people riding bikes
8:15
and it would make more sense if you
8:17
could understand what i'm saying clearly
8:20
during this and just get the fresh
8:22
breeze
8:24
the wind blowing through the trees
8:27
will i am not will not be
8:31
46 year old man
8:34
a tradition of going to disneyland going
8:37
on dumbo
8:38
it sounds like a flippant unimportant
8:41
thing but we all have our we all have
8:43
our little
8:44
our little thanks today what did i do
8:46
today i was going to do
8:47
an an edited video and show similar to
8:51
what i did yesterday which was
8:53
something around the title of what i did
8:55
on the day before my birthday
8:57
could do something like that i didn't
8:59
really want to like rehash that same
9:01
type of formula
9:03
for the second day which would be the
9:05
official birthday
9:07
so i decided to do this just it's more
9:10
it's not a live stream i don't do live
9:12
streams anymore i haven't done a live
9:13
stream in
9:15
heck it's probably been a year and a
9:16
half two years just not really my thing
9:19
anymore i know they're very popular
9:21
but it's not something it's not
9:23
something i want to dive back into
9:25
at this course of of my life and
9:28
for the content that i want that i want
9:30
to want to do so this is kind of the the
9:32
next
9:33
best thing we'll just have this going
9:35
for a while we'll keep the clock running
9:36
we'll just talk
9:38
now you can you can ask questions from
9:42
from your side there from whatever
9:43
you're watching on your tv your
9:50
i'm just gonna have to mind meld with
9:50
you we're gonna have to use
9:52
the powers of knowing what we are
9:55
thinking and
9:56
that is a real thing so i'm told
10:00
people will come up to me you know
10:03
randomly
10:04
out and about and the great thing about
10:07
this is you can feel as if you
10:10
are friends with someone you are
10:12
acquaintances you know them
10:14
without technically meeting so when
10:16
someone approaches me
10:18
and this being said you can always come
10:19
up and say hi whether you see me
10:21
out and about in public at a park always
10:24
feel free
10:24
to say hello at disney at universal
10:28
hollywood
10:29
if i'm on a road trip anytime i'm always
10:32
willing
10:33
to meet anyone sometimes i'll film
10:35
sometimes i'm filming
10:37
so sometimes i'm a little flustered
10:39
because they say you're always your
10:41
worst critic when you're trying to film
10:42
something i over analyze
10:44
every shot every angle so take that with
10:47
a grain of salt sometimes sometimes my
10:49
mind is
10:50
is in other places but i will try to
10:52
like separate myself from that
10:54
and we'll talk before we shake hands and
10:56
hugs but now we just do a little
10:58
a little fist bump a little a little
11:01
vicarious high five
11:04
from a distance i was born in tupelo
11:08
mississippi
11:09
which to those who are familiar with
11:11
elvis presley the king of rock and roll
11:13
you will know that is where elvis was
11:15
born so there is a little bit of
11:17
i love elvis anyway i love pop culture
11:21
and i really enjoy the you know the
11:23
history of elvis presley and i've been
11:24
to his hometown
11:25
because i was born there but i've been
11:27
back in the later years
11:29
i've done videos there shown
11:32
you know the house he grew up in the
11:34
museum that is there now
11:36
the area that he donated money to to
11:38
have a place similar to this
11:40
an expansive area where people can hang
11:42
out the church he used to sing in has
11:44
been moved there
11:46
so there is a big tie-in to me and to
11:49
elvis presley
11:50
one day i would like to return now i
11:53
could do this
11:54
in fact i almost thought about doing
11:55
this today but due to current
11:57
times i don't really feel comfortable
12:00
getting a tattoo
12:02
and going into a tattoo studio and
12:04
having uh someone i've never met
12:07
stranger if you will
12:11
you know jot some ink into my arm
12:15
just during these times normally
12:16
obviously i'm living proof that that
12:19
does not bother me on any
12:20
at any other time frame and sometimes
12:23
they are hesitant sometimes if you do
12:24
not know the person they do not allow
12:26
you to film and i would like to document
12:28
one day me
12:29
getting a t c b taking care of business
12:35
elvis tattoo somewhere maybe in here
12:37
maybe here
12:38
and i thought about changing it up and
12:40
maybe putting like an atw for adam the
12:41
woo and then put established 1974.
12:44
but i also thought it would be fun now
12:46
if i did this i would not be able to do
12:48
it on my birthday so i thought about
12:49
doing this today but
12:51
change my change my thought on that but
12:53
maybe one day when i go back to tupelo
12:56
i could do that there maybe one day or
12:58
maybe i'll just end up you know in three
13:00
weeks from now you might end up seeing
13:01
the tcb tattoo but
13:02
kind of neat connection because i also
13:06
follow that that opinion you gotta
13:10
if there's business to be handled you
13:11
gotta take care of you gotta take the
13:13
bull by the horns you gotta go out there
13:14
and make it happen
13:16
which has been a driving force and what
13:19
i have done
13:20
here on this you know this platform for
13:22
10 and a half 11 years
13:24
actually i've even lost track but let's
13:26
say 10 years about 10 and a half years
13:28
because i believe it was new year's eve
13:30
of last year there's a fly you rarely
13:32
see bugs
13:33
southern california but there are some
13:35
bugs out here
13:40
i thought that's always been a
13:40
motivation and a driving
13:43
a driving emphasis in in what i have
13:46
done when i worked
13:48
i worked retail for over 20 years i
13:50
worked at grocery stores
13:52
you're familiar with florida consumerism
13:55
i worked at winn-dixie i worked at
13:57
publix i worked at a cash and carry for
13:58
a very short living think cash and carry
14:00
exist anymore that was a grocery store
14:02
i worked at a family-owned feed store
14:05
for five years that was the last job i
14:06
ever had
14:07
i worked at a video store i worked at a
14:09
miniature golf course part-time
14:11
a lot of times i worked two different
14:12
jobs at one time
14:14
so i always worked office max i worked
14:16
at
14:17
and and then i was in a band i was in a
14:20
florida band
14:21
for years and years and years and then i
14:22
joined a southern california band
14:24
which is funny because i lived in
14:26
california right when i quit my job
14:28
which i quit my job on august 9
14:29
2011. that was the last time i punched a
14:33
clock
14:35
and that i worked for anyone other than
14:37
myself with the exception of
14:39
being in the band when i was in southern
14:41
california by the name of gutter mouth
14:43
the punk band
14:44
which i ended up quitting that in 2013
14:46
so i did that for about two years did
14:48
six or seven tours
14:49
a lot of fun a lot of good memories but
14:51
it was time to move on it was not my
14:53
band
14:54
it wasn't it wasn't something that i was
14:56
you know writing lyrics for i was
14:58
writing music for i was just kind of
15:00
like a
15:00
in a way a hired hand a very lucky
15:04
hired hand because it was always my
15:05
dream to be in a successful punk band
15:08
now they weren't on the level of like
15:09
what you think of green day or offspring
15:11
but they
15:12
have a loyal following and it was very
15:15
great to play
15:16
shows in front of people when i was in a
15:18
band for florida tnt was the name of it
15:21
and we would play shows it was like
15:23
pulling teeth sometimes to get people to
15:24
come out
15:25
to the venues and to the shows so it was
15:28
nice to just hop in a van
15:30
even though half the time i drove the
15:31
van and i helped load in and all that
15:33
and played the shows
15:34
but it was nice not to have to go out
15:36
and fly here constantly
15:38
and really tried to drag people in come
15:41
on you gotta come
15:42
come to the show come on come to the
15:44
show
15:45
none of that existed it was just hit the
15:47
road
15:48
and i saw a lot i did a lot and being in
15:51
those bands whether it be the florida
15:52
band the toured playing in front of next
15:54
to noah usually bartenders every night
15:56
and the other band
15:58
i know the struggle the struggle is is a
16:00
real thing of doing anything creative
16:02
and trying to get anyone to care
16:04
which makes me extra grateful blessed
16:07
and thankful
16:08
that i am at the point where i'm at now
16:11
where
16:12
people are interested now i am not you
16:15
know i'm not
16:15
on the the level of you know getting
16:18
hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of
16:20
thousands of views every day or having
16:22
millions of subscribers and i will never
16:25
be at that level
16:26
but slowly but surely it's like
16:30
years ago when i first started this i
16:32
would always
16:33
i would watch like kind of motivational
16:35
people talking about stuff and all of
16:37
them said if you want to create
16:39
something
16:39
you do not do it overnight you have to
16:42
do it like piece by piece
16:44
if you're going to build something you
16:47
have to build it
16:48
not all at once you don't start at 8am
16:51
and by 6 pm
16:52
what you are creating like this building
16:54
here was not done
16:56
in one day you know this took a while
16:58
first you got to put up
17:00
the one piece here the one cylinder the
17:03
one item then you got to put this board
17:05
up then you get later on a week later
17:06
you got to put the shingles on
17:09
and that is that way with anything you
17:11
are creating and i've always taken that
17:13
to heart
17:15
and i knew it would work i just needed
17:18
i just needed other people to hop on
17:20
board onto the bandwagon
17:22
when i started i always i always thought
17:26
there are there has to be other people
17:27
that are interested in what i am
17:29
interested
17:30
out there and the fact is no matter what
17:32
you're into
17:33
i am into nostalgia roadside attractions
17:37
theme parks 80s movies
17:40
tv shows those kind of items but it
17:44
doesn't matter what you are into if you
17:46
have a passion if you have something
17:47
that you know a lot about or at least
17:49
want to know about
17:50
and you can dive into that subject
17:52
matter and do not mind
17:54
expressing your thoughts on it to others
17:57
people will latch on to it people will
18:00
find people will find
18:01
what you are doing you just have to have
18:04
that
18:04
idea and that motivation to make it
18:07
happen
18:08
i am i am really i am really
18:11
i need to digress from this and get back
18:13
to the the subject at hand my birthday
18:16
august 10th i was born in 1974 this is
18:19
august
18:20
10th of 2020. what did i do today
18:24
oh yeah i really got sidetracked i was
18:26
going to film what i did today but
18:28
i said heck it i'm not going to do that
18:30
let's change it up a little bit
18:32
let's bring it back and just have a
18:33
little a little heart-to-heart character
18:35
heart talk which is
18:36
ironic because i'm in heart park not
18:38
spelled h-e-a-r-t but h-a-r-t
18:42
right here very close to the orange
18:44
circle very close you could walk from
18:45
the orange circle
18:47
to here i did not walk well you could
18:49
walk but it's probably about a mile and
18:51
a half but so i opted to get in the car
18:52
and drive down i went
18:53
big the foot wanted to get out and see
18:56
some sights
19:02
it's been a fun run here on this channel
19:02
and there's a lot to there's a lot
19:03
that i still want to do in fact i
19:07
there was i was going to
19:16
car's very loud i was going
19:16
before all the the interesting
19:18
conundrums of these current times
19:20
reared its head for this summer
19:24
and into fall before halloween started
19:27
to
19:28
to pop up i was going to do a massive
19:32
when i say massive like nothing i have
19:35
ever done before
19:37
i don't even know if i should be saying
19:38
this should be giving a spoiler because
19:39
it will happen at some point maybe next
19:41
year or the year after
19:42
when everything is back to
19:46
how things were on some level i was
19:48
going to do
19:49
the largest well i've done some pretty
19:52
big projects
19:54
we're talking about national lampoon's
19:56
vacation which took me you know two
19:57
weeks
19:58
on the road in another couple weeks to
19:59
film it took me a month out of my life
20:01
to do that
20:02
video and forrest gump which required
20:03
traveling cross country
20:05
this was going to topple that as far as
20:09
a project was concerned the issue was
20:13
current day issues which do not need to
20:16
be mentioned everyone knows and everyone
20:18
is talking about and everyone is
20:20
has an opinion on and has
20:23
done plenty of seeing things on social
20:26
media
20:28
and other places and talking amongst
20:30
friends everyone knows what's happening
20:32
out there and the reasons
20:33
you cannot do certain things and
20:37
can be done but what i wanted to do
20:39
could not be done
20:42
because certain states require you
20:45
to not when you go through there you
20:48
have to kind of hang out for a while do
20:50
the two-week thing
20:51
and that is not something that really
20:52
works into that game plan so i
20:54
have put that on the back burner but
20:56
that will happen
20:57
down there let's talk about halloween
21:01
september which one
21:04
actually yesterday august 9th
21:07
speaking of halloween a little tie-in
21:10
was the 51st anniversary of haunted
21:13
mansion
21:14
at disneyland one of my all-time
21:16
favorite attractions at any theme park
21:19
last year i went to that anniversary
21:21
overnight celebration and it was a heck
21:22
of a good time
21:29
and then starting shortly after that
21:29
usually the first week of september
21:33
is when all the southern california
21:36
haunts
21:36
the hunt season as we like to call it
21:39
out here really starts to formulate
21:42
and it is an impressive array if you
21:45
have never been
21:46
to the los angeles area i'm talking
21:49
about
21:50
la burbank the valley
21:53
orange county you know anaheim even that
21:55
even even out to maybe down to like san
21:57
diego maybe not that far but just a
21:59
general area
22:01
of southern california it is
22:04
on a whole other level than anywhere
22:07
else
22:08
in the u.s it is a it is an impressive
22:12
array of creativity when it comes to the
22:14
halloween season
22:15
and it is one of my favorites in fact it
22:17
is probably one of
22:20
one of the three or four major reasons
22:24
that i reside here in orange county
22:27
california
22:28
because that is two solid months
22:38
two solid months of my life and content
22:38
that is dedicated to that season
22:42
september i get no sleep ever
22:46
we're talking hhn universal
22:50
halloween horror nights talking not
22:51
scary farm
22:53
we're talking six flags bright fast
22:55
that's just the tip of the iceberg
22:58
then there's like i'm just i'm drawing a
23:00
blank on all but all the other ones are
23:02
queen mary dark harbor and that's just
23:05
the major
23:06
theme parks that are doing that and then
23:08
you add in
23:10
smaller ones the griffith park the ghost
23:12
train
23:14
and the bony island i think last year i
23:17
did
23:18
25 videos 20 25 videos of haunts what i
23:22
like to do is in september i
23:24
kind of knock out all of the all of the
23:27
big
23:27
budget ones and then i focus on
23:31
some of the smaller more independent
23:34
more
23:34
locally grown type of one that's what i
23:37
did in october
23:38
and i'm hoping that this year that
23:40
happens as well
23:42
some of the big some of the bigger ones
23:43
are not going to happen
23:45
but i have a thought that maybe possibly
23:50
that some some of the smaller ones will
23:53
kind of change up their formula a little
23:55
bit
23:55
and we'll still be able to experience
23:57
them on some level
24:02
so it's going to be a it's going to be
24:02
much different
24:04
this year than it has been the last
24:06
three or four
24:07
with the intensity of that
24:10
of the halloween season but it's still
24:12
going to exist
24:14
things are not all bad things are good
24:16
in fact there are a lot of things that i
24:18
like about how things are being done
24:21
more than i liked before today so now
24:24
i'm finally getting back what i wanted
24:25
to say
24:26
what did i do today i went and got i
24:28
went and got folk
24:30
one of my favorite foe places it's
24:32
located in buena park very close to knox
24:34
berry farm
24:35
i went and got so the first time i've
24:37
had that place since i've been back from
24:39
florida from that trip
24:41
i love it so much and they have outdoor
24:44
seating which means you can't go in and
24:45
see it anymore but they have outside
24:47
they have like little
24:48
you know shaded areas they bring in
24:50
these like overhead tents
24:52
and it's nice and peaceful it's like
24:54
eating outdoors
24:55
it is eating outdoors so you get the
24:57
breeze and i kind of like that
24:59
better than going in a crowded
25:01
restaurant i have to say like
25:03
when this is all said and done i kind of
25:06
i kind of want outdoor seating i like
25:08
being outdoors more than i like being
25:11
kind of like
25:12
neck and neck elbow to elbow with other
25:15
other customers being right there
25:18
hearing their conversations
25:20
i kind of don't miss that so in a way
25:22
there are
25:23
positive aspects about things that are
25:26
happening right now
25:28
even though it's different and strange
25:30
and some would say weird
25:31
there are things about it that are that
25:33
are that i
25:34
do i'm not real i'm not negative about
25:36
i'm not i'm really happy about
25:38
and that is one of them but i think i
25:40
think with the halloween season
25:42
and the reopenings of theme parks like
25:44
knott's berry farm they have no rides
25:46
boat you can't ride the log ride you
25:47
can't
25:48
ride the mine ride can't ride the
25:49
koshers but they're doing a food
25:51
festival
25:52
they're doing a couple different food
25:53
festivals the taste of calico and then
25:55
coming up in about
25:56
11 12 days from now is the taste of
25:58
knots where they're opening the entire
26:01
property except for
26:04
the rides and attractions but everything
26:06
else will be open and they will have
26:07
booths everywhere
26:09
and i think that's going to happen to a
26:11
lot of places
26:13
so i think that's going to happen i
26:14
think it's going to be it's going to be
26:15
a very good thing
26:17
and exciting and you know for those who
26:20
are content creators
26:21
you know for those i'm sure some that
26:23
are watching are probably those who are
26:25
looking for ideas and you might get a
26:27
little bummed out you might get a little
26:29
discouraged like
26:30
this was my formula this is what this is
26:33
what i wanted to do
26:34
as far as content i started you know you
26:37
might be saying i started my channel to
26:39
like do
26:39
this specific thing and i can't do it
26:42
because it's not how it was
26:44
but think about this the good news is
26:47
these are interesting i don't want to
26:49
say exciting times
26:51
but historic times that people are
26:54
interested in
26:55
so go if you feel as if it is
26:59
something you want to do obviously you
27:00
have to follow the regulations and the
27:02
rules
27:04
but if you're going out and that is
27:05
something you want to do and you're
27:07
keeping
27:08
distance from everyone and doing it in a
27:10
safe
27:11
manner document it show it
27:14
because five years from now you're gonna
27:17
look back and say
27:18
oh man that was that was something that
27:21
we will never see
27:22
again it might not be five years it
27:23
might be this time next year
27:26
we might be looking back at this and go
27:28
remember that that like
27:29
unusual 2020 that happened
27:34
so if if if you're someone who likes to
27:37
just you know
27:38
do videos think of it that way don't get
27:41
discouraged
27:43
it's gonna be okay everything is gonna
27:46
be okay
27:47
happy birthday to me this has been
27:51
a lot of rambling a lot of talking
27:58
feels good to do this i should do this
27:58
more often i should do this occasionally
28:00
a traffic is really really going by
28:04
there
28:04
what else did i do oh i i went to some
28:07
stores today
28:09
early this morning i've been working on
28:11
i've been working on my
28:13
yard trying to kind of spruce up my yard
28:17
a little bit
28:19
you know because i'm always traveling
28:20
and i i fail at doing a lot of stuff
28:23
around the home and i'm trying to get
28:24
better at that and i am getting better
28:27
at that
28:28
traffic is just right there this is kind
28:30
of the layout of the land
28:33
you got you know i have not shown my
28:36
face
28:37
in a video for this oh my goodness
28:40
rarely do i even like focus on myself
28:42
like this anymore so this is
28:44
because i can't switch the camera back
28:45
and forth it's all going to be one type
28:46
but this is like a little bike riding
28:48
track
28:48
a little baseball field over there
28:51
hold on i gotta hold on sorry
28:55
i'm not trying to block you here oh gosh
28:59
it's see i'm i'm i've lost my touch with
29:04
i don't want to hit the stop button
29:07
i'm trying to switch hold on
29:10
i'll just do this i'll just do this
29:13
there we go
29:19
see where i was where i was trying to
29:19
hoist my hand
29:21
right there next to a button that could
29:22
hit stop and this would not be a one
29:25
take unedited
29:26
if there was a stop
29:33
there's just a little warmth on this
29:33
still a little warmth even after nearly
29:35
a half hour
29:36
close to a half hour i want to say thank
29:40
you
29:42
i want to say thank you to everyone who
29:43
has been
29:45
been with me and with this channel and
29:47
with the other channel
29:49
maybe not from the beginning but close
29:51
to the beginning and through the years
29:54
i could not be where i am today without
29:58
viewership and interest in what i am
30:08
and saying thank you is it is a
30:08
kind of a double not double edge but it
30:10
is a
30:11
it is a way of expressing
30:14
you know my love for everyone out there
30:16
for what they
30:17
take the time out of their day and they
30:20
appreciate
30:22
and even are supportive enough to hit
30:24
the thumbs up
30:25
i'll let you know let me know that you
30:27
care and you know that i know that you
30:29
know that they know that we know that
30:31
all of us that you know that i
30:32
that i know that you care
30:36
i think that was a that was trying to do
30:37
a burbs reference there
30:39
now they know that we know that i know
30:41
that they know that we
30:42
know the thing see i messed it up again
30:45
but thank you one thing
30:49
well a lot of things i have learned but
30:51
doing this for this amount of time
30:53
people will watch what they want to
30:55
watch
30:57
whether you are thankful
31:00
whether you are non-thankful
31:03
weather no matter what you do no matter
31:06
what your
31:08
response to subscribers and viewers are
31:12
there are people on this platform that a
31:14
lot of their
31:15
what they're doing is not something that
31:18
should be
31:19
commended you know like it's not
31:22
not everyone is keeping things positive
31:25
and trying to do happy stuff
31:27
but people will still watch them whether
31:30
they thank anyone for doing so
31:32
or not so it's not really a necessity to
31:35
always say thank you
31:36
and sometimes i drop the ball on that
31:40
and i shouldn't and i'm here to rectify
31:44
now in the comments what i will do
31:51
what i will do in the morning when i
31:51
upload a video
31:52
is i will reply to usually 30 40 50
31:56
maybe 100 comments the first couple
31:57
hours and say thank you
31:59
i appreciate it thank you for watching
32:02
you're awesome
32:04
so i do that but in person and then
32:07
obviously in person when people come up
32:08
and say
32:09
they'll meet me they'll shake my hand
32:11
they'll say hello i'm very thankful of
32:13
that too but
32:14
somehow in the mix of just concentrating
32:17
on content and not being
32:19
as personal in these videos
32:23
it's kind of sometimes it gets
32:26
i'm trying to purchase up here sometimes
32:29
it gets forgotten
32:30
and don't think i don't mean it because
32:34
i just hit
32:34
i try to switch hands don't drop do not
32:38
drop
32:44
oh oh wow
32:44
look at that i'm just trying to switch
32:45
hands
32:52
there are ants all over that tree
32:52
thank you everyone sticking with me
32:56
hitting that thumbs up
33:02
leaving comment comments are great i do
33:04
disable delete comments
33:07
i love reading them it does not it is
33:10
not what
33:13
it is not what drives me constantly to
33:16
put content out there
33:18
but it does help it is a big motivation
33:21
to see interest and to see to see what
33:25
you're thinking
33:25
good bad ugly this is where i'm walking
33:28
going this way
33:34
indifferent negative i don't mind any of
33:34
it i like to hear everyone's
33:37
thoughts on everything because it it
33:40
helps me learn
33:42
it gives me not only new ideas but it
33:44
also gives me a fresh perspective
33:47
on what others are thinking so feel
33:51
always time away
33:57
constructive non-constructive
33:57
even some that would be considered a
33:59
little bit not on the non-nice
34:01
just you know as long as it's not
34:03
overboard
34:05
i don't mind any of it just let it let
34:08
it fly
34:09
and thanks to everyone as long as you're
34:11
watching
34:13
that's all that matters it's it's
34:16
amazing as i stated earlier
34:18
gosh it is so there was so many points
34:21
in my life doing the band thing
34:23
where it took so long it was like it was
34:26
like pulling teeth
34:28
like twisting on someone's arm to get
34:31
anyone
34:32
interested in any sort of creative
34:35
project i was doing
34:37
