orange county california

florida i am now going to be
0:22
coast to coast as far as
0:26
living accommodations and the only
0:28
reason i can do that
0:30
is to take everything i own here on the
0:33
west coast
0:34
and greatly reduce that
0:37
now i'll be staying in the current spot
0:40
except
0:42
a roommate will be happening

0:48
here
0:50
where i currently reside and i'm going
0:52
to take all my personal items
0:54
anything that i hold sentimental value
0:57
of
0:58

2:07
the shelf unit i believe i'm going to
2:08

2:11
all the items that are on it i'll either
2:16
either move shift change to a different
2:19
spot
2:20
get rid of i haven't really decided but
2:23
i really like this shelf you don't think
2:24
this is going to stick around
2:26
probably keep the cat clock here as well
2:30
that's kind of a staple for me
2:33
yeah you're going to stay right there
2:35
buddy
2:36
as of right now this is my office
2:40
and and guest room
2:44
it's all going to be shifted and changed
2:47
around
2:47
i have wilson down here my computer a
2:50
little fan a printer
2:53
over here television set
2:56
with my nintendo and this will now be
3:00
my new bed in the room i have
3:04
currently i have a california king this
3:06
is a queen
3:08
which i think i'm gonna maybe kind of
3:11
shove over there in that corner
3:13
shift all this around i refer to this
3:17
as the corridor of goons
3:20
there's a p there's a signage up there
3:22
relating to the the top
3:24
section of the disneyland castle which
3:27
is also called the corridor of goons
3:33
all right also going to bring the
3:33
television
3:34
that is in the living room i'm going to
3:36
shift that over into here
3:38
move my blue rays don't know what i'm
3:41
going to do with the couches
3:42
there is a lot to kind of unwrap and to
3:45
also wrap my head around
3:48
of how things are going to go but today
3:50
is the day
3:51
that i need to to really start boxing
3:54
things up
3:55
take some stuff drop it off either
3:56
goodwill salvation army
3:58
thrift stores i'm also realizing that i
4:00
haven't been here in a while
4:02
and i was in florida for six weeks
4:06
some dusting needs to i really need to
4:09
to do a little dusting as well so it'll
4:12
be kind of a a two-parter
4:14
after i get everything kind of shifted
4:18
do some dusting and clean off well
4:21
there's not too much dust but there's a
4:22
little i was noticing there on the top
4:24
these are always a good accessory when
4:25
trying to figure out if things are going
4:27
to fit from shifting from one room to
4:28
the next
4:29
other parts of the house so it's good to
4:31
have this you know just to
4:33
make sure before you move everything
4:34
around if it's going to work do have a
4:36
little section here i can pull this
4:38
table that i'm using for a desk over
4:40
near the door frame and the printer
4:44
i could put over there in the side and
4:47
take this item slide it all the way over
4:49
i might have to
4:50
move the mansion the mansion plaque
4:53
there
4:54
as well and then the bed can put over
4:58
there in that corner
4:59
where lengthwise will go this way which
5:02
will open up this area even more
5:10
i think this could work
5:25
yeah look at that
5:25
getting rid of the tv stand in the
5:27
living room and i'm going to utilize
5:29
this
5:30
for my new bedroom and also need to
5:33
transfer over walt
5:35
here in front of the castle which is
5:37
kind of mounted there
5:39
with a couple of boards and i transfer
5:43
this one
5:44
and use this in the other room the
5:46
passing of
5:48
time i have been busy
5:51
and over the the last few hours have
5:53
compiled
5:54
quite a a congregation
5:58
of items and products that i will be
6:01
taking to donate
6:02
i have moved the desk i was using
6:06
in the guest room which is now going to
6:08
be
6:09
my room i move that out and move the
6:12
kitchen table which i did not want to
6:14
get rid of i am thankful i was able to
6:16
fit it in the spot it's much bigger than
6:19
but i'll show you momentarily how it
6:21
kind of worked out i have
6:23
you see the dust there on the top of
6:25
that the older printer which i'm getting
6:27
rid of
6:28
some end tables the nintendo the
6:30
television that was
6:32
on that that i used for the nintendo i
6:34
have switched out for another end table
6:36
that was in the previous room that i was
6:38
using and i got some other
6:40
little things this i got a while back it
6:43
is it's almost like a chocolate
6:44
mousse and i had it kind of in one of
6:48
the hallways
6:49
i'm going to get rid of that as well as
6:52
another end table
6:53
and the tv stand so this was in the
6:56
living room
6:57
adjacent to the couches which i haven't
6:59
decided if i'm getting rid of the
7:00
couches but i am going to get rid of
7:02
little glass item i will do this over
7:05
the next course of the next few days
7:08
load these in my car take them to a
7:10
thrift store donate them
7:11
this i was using for a short while with
7:13
the nes until i got
7:15
until i got the old school television
7:17
which is still
7:18
in the room and these are some chairs
7:21
which aren't in the best shape they're
7:23
not very durable
7:24
so i'm going to go ahead and take those
7:26
i was using those with
7:27
what was the kitchen table now is a desk
7:30
so this is going to kind of gather over
7:33
time
7:34
and just kind of see what happens but
7:37
all this will be going away
7:39
this will all be at least from my life
7:41
will be erased
7:43
from existence i am really content with
7:46
the the progress here
7:48
with how it has turned out i'll give you
7:50
a little kind of impromptu
7:52
tour it's not completed you know this is
7:54
just the first time the first step
7:57
in getting everything but i would say
7:58
it's probably about i got the majority
8:01
maybe 75 of everything i kind of want in
8:03
here other than
8:05
the books from the bookshelf and some
8:06
little
8:08
little accessories that need to be me
8:11
move down and packed up
8:13
let's step in here and i'll show you
8:14
what i did everything in these little
8:16
boxes here on the shelf
8:18
is going to change i will they even i
8:21
believe they sell
8:23
some not cardboard they're made out of
8:25
cloth but they
8:26
they slide into these almost to make it
8:29
like drawers so i might use that for the
8:32
couple bottom ones
8:33
i'm also going to put all my books in
8:36
here so this will kind of be my library
8:38
that i have to go from what is now in
8:40
the living room on that big shelf unit
8:42
now i do have another bed it's a
8:44
california king i say to that
8:46
a little bit earlier this is a queen
8:50
that i'm going to be starting to slumber
8:51
on i'm going to be getting rid of
8:53
the california king probably throwing it
8:56
away i've been using it for a number of
8:57
years
8:58
i don't even know if i really want to
8:59
donate that it's kind of like a
9:01
you know like socks or underwear not
9:04
something you
9:06
probably want to donate an old mattress
9:07
but maybe i don't really know the
9:10
i don't know how all that works but i
9:12
got hitchcock
9:14
he would be proud of the corridor
9:18
of goons the new school corridor
9:22
of goons and i got you know two of my
9:24
favorite movies got back to the future
9:26
dawn of the dead which are assigned by a
9:29
lot of the cast and i have
9:31
couldn't find a place on the wall so i
9:32
kind of just procured a spot here
9:34
on top of the shelf unit and this is the
9:37
new
9:37
desk that i was was the kitchen table i
9:41
moved it up here
9:42
it's maybe about a foot longer than the
9:45
other one which i'm going to
9:47
you know give away and a lot more sturdy
9:50
i got this at the fair flak fair fax
9:53
flea market when i first moved to
9:55
hollywood and i love it i just love this
9:57
desk
9:58
so much and i have a little plastic tote
10:00
over here
10:01
which i'm going to get more of these
10:02
plastic totes for the closet to put my
10:05
clothes in
10:06
and i got a printer there and i have
10:08
moved the mansion
10:10
plaque over shifted this whole thing
10:12
about
10:13
a foot or two slid that over
10:16
in that direction and it's a lot more
10:18
roomy and
10:19
looks a lot nicer than the the previous
10:22
one also with the nintendo
10:24
that is down here i got rid of the
10:26
little small
10:27
glass end table that i was utilizing and
10:30
out of what was
10:32
my former bedroom moved in this drawer
10:35
and got the cassettes off of the carpet
10:38
and also got the nes off of the carpet
10:41
which is not something you want
10:43
to do and it's a lot more sturdy here
10:46
i'm using this as a place to put the fan
10:49
which is good it kind of aims right
10:51
towards the bed i actually purchased a
10:53
new bass guitar it's over there in the
10:55
corner
10:55
brand new bass guitar which i haven't
10:57
used too much but i'm going to start
10:59
start kind of kind of using that again
11:01
as time goes on
11:03
and i got at the castle here
11:06
moved around some of the artwork right
11:08
down there is
11:10
is walt as well
11:13
yeah this is this really really works i
11:16
think
11:16
surprisingly got the the living room tv
11:19
in here
11:20
as well now the tv stand that it was on
11:23
i'm not going to be using that anymore
11:25
this long kind of thin skinny table
11:28
which is like an end table it worked
11:30
perfectly
11:32
to put the the tv on and i have the
11:34
remotes
11:36
next to the bed stationed on the piece
11:38
of the marriott marquis dragon con
11:40
carpet when they pulled up the the old
11:42
carpet
11:44
i was given a piece of that little
11:47
history there
11:48
and that's where the that's where the
11:49
remotes are kind of perched and i have
11:53
i have a coaster i can put my beverage
11:54
on and check out that relic if
11:58
you remember large marge still have the
11:59
license plate
12:01
all my blu-rays right in here kind of
12:04
tucked away
12:06
which is good i can still put stuff in
12:07
front of them
12:09
but then they're also you know i got
12:10
yeah there's plenty of
12:12
plenty of room for the blu-rays all
12:14
through here which is nice
12:16
i thought i had a lot but really once i
12:18
got them in this little section it
12:19
didn't really seem like there's that
12:20
many i mean i still do have a lot but
12:22
compared to some i don't
12:24
i have an okay collection all in all i
12:27
feel
12:27
pretty good about this the scenario
12:30
what's going to be happening over the
12:31
next
12:32
i started early got a head start do not
12:35
have to have all this
12:36
finished even though i got a good good
12:38
chunk of it done throughout the course
12:39
of the day
12:40
don't have to ever have everything
12:42
accomplished
12:43
until the end of the month but i always
12:45
like to get just get it done
12:48
kind of got a good little jump jump
12:50
start on it
12:51
i'm happy about what the future has this
12:54
gives me the ability by you know having
12:57
a roommate
12:58
moving in to afford to stay here in
13:01
southern california and to keep
13:04
the new place in celebration florida
13:07
it's going to be neat being
13:08
coast to coast and that is how
13:11
i'm going to be able to do so with
13:15
how much i am paying for the very small
13:20
i'm gonna say humble but very small
13:22
accommodations
13:23
that i just moved into in central
13:25
florida
13:26
and cutting rent in half
13:30
here i would pay basically about the
13:33
same as i was
13:34
to be here and have the place
13:38
all to myself so did the math on it it
13:40
really does
13:42
really does make sense we'll see what
13:45
happens
13:46
this is not going to be a series i'm not
13:48
going to like do this continually over
13:49
the next week
13:50
showing you all the little nuances of
13:52
what's happening but i wanted to not
13:54
only
13:54
keep everyone updated put it out into
13:56
the universe but also something i can
13:58
look back on
14:00
down the road in the future and say wow
14:02
that happened
14:04
that's when i moved everything around
