0:04 today's adventure begins and pretty much
0:04 is going to be in Celebration Florida as
0:06 the recording of this it is December
0:08 28th a Thursday
0:11 2023 staying standing here on the corner
0:14 of Lake
0:15 Reinhardt behind the celebration Hotel
0:18 this is going to be my last official
0:21 day renting an
0:24 apartment right downtown
0:27 celebration going to finish cleaning it
0:29 up today got everything moved out as of
0:32 yesterday now I got to clean up just a
0:34 little
0:36 bit turn in the
0:39 keys no longer renting my one-bedroom
0:42 small apartment right off of Market
0:44 Street welcome everyone Adam the woo
0:47 here not only am I excited to be handing
0:50 in the keys today and excited about the
0:52 future moving on to bigger and better
0:54 things if you will there's a little bit
0:56 of a sadness when you leave a place that
0:58 you've been in for 3 years 3 years I put
1:01 a little Aster next to there because two
1:03 years I was in there without being by
1:05 Coastal one year the first year so I
1:07 moved in in the middle of December 3
1:09 years ago that first year I had a place
1:11 out in Anaheim had some roommates they
1:13 moved into my spot and
1:15 then the whole story that ended and
1:19 after being a year out there and a year
1:21 out here going Coast to Coast just
1:23 settled on here for a year so in a lot
1:25 of ways this is the end of that scenario
1:28 when I hand in my key to this place and
1:31 moving along to the next spot I'm
1:34 inviting you to join me as always shall
1:37 you I'm also kind of ready to have this
1:39 move be done over and done with talking
1:41 about the B Coastal thing because when I
1:44 did move I had a little time to get my
1:46 stuff
1:46 out in fact when I moved from Hollywood
1:49 down to Anaheim talking about even
1:51 stepping back a little bit further I had
1:53 like a month to move this time I had
1:55 over a month I had like five weeks to
1:57 move so it really was not too stressful
2:00 as far as getting it done but just kind
2:02 of you know weight off your shoulders
2:04 when you finally know one place has been
2:06 removed and you could focus 100%
2:08 attention on the new spot so I'm
2:12 definitely looking forward to that as
2:13 well a little dreary and overcast here
2:15 in town today going by going by
2:18 avocado's Mexican Grill and up to
2:19 Starbucks where I mobile order to coffee
2:21 love mobile order oh there's a bird
2:23 right
2:24 there don't be startled bird don't fly
2:28 away you know you want to say you not
2:29 want to say hi yes my time in downtown
2:32 living in downtown celebration coming to
2:35 an end today had a good time being right
2:37 down here for those 3 years and I'm
2:39 still going to
2:41 be very very close to this but I'm not
2:43 going to be able to just walk out my
2:45 door and pop over to the Starbucks
2:47 without a little bit of a commute but
2:48 I'm staying in Central Florida staying
2:50 in
2:51 celebration more on that a lot more on
2:55 that very very soon but I kind of want
2:58 to talk a little bit about how and why I
3:00 ended up moving back to Florida even
3:03 though I didn't really think I ever
3:05 would end up back in Florida here I am
3:08 life is weird sometimes and life is all
3:10 about oh there's a dog down there
3:13 drinking from the the water yeah just
3:17 simple choices on what you do who you
3:20 know things you do tasks you take upon
3:23 jobs you have the way you live your life
3:26 and decisions you made just the simplest
3:28 little thing can alter the course and
3:31 the trajectory of life itself and the
3:35 way your mind works I'm I'm maybe
3:38 getting a little too deep and I'm not
3:39 I'm definitely not like trying to get
3:41 philosophical on but it's just very
3:42 interesting how all that just the
3:45 littlest things can somehow
3:49 alter what happens I mean just the
3:52 simplest thing
3:55 thing and obviously the events of 2020
3:58 had a big hand and me moving back here
4:02 in fact I had a PL well I was living in
4:04 originally I was living in Orange
4:05 California 2015 and 16 then I moved away
4:09 from there did the RV thing for a year
4:10 then I moved to Hollywood for 2 years
4:12 and I was like you know what I don't
4:13 want to be in Hollywood I be closer to
4:14 Disneyland in Orange County so I moved
4:16 down to Anaheim for about another 2
4:18 years give or take I don't know I'm
4:20 trying to the math is you know give or
4:22 take a few months but I was there for a
4:24 couple of years and when everything in
4:27 California started to really not be open
4:30 I was like I'm not going to deal with
4:31 this I want to go to places that are
4:32 open it kind of stretched on a little
4:34 too long for my liking so I ended up I'm
4:37 going to get a place here in Florida
4:38 also there are a lot of apartments and
4:40 condos around here I mean hundreds if
4:43 not thousands of them throughout the
4:46 entire town of Celebration so not just
4:48 downtown and the whole footprint of
4:50 Celebration is just massive again more
4:53 on that over time but I kind of wanted
4:55 to talk a little bit about the reasons
4:58 why I moved here versus not being a
5:03 Californian and I feel like if I the
5:07 situation would have been a little
5:08 different just a little bit different
5:11 like if I would have kept my place in
5:12 Anaheim not had a
5:15 roommate not done the B Coastal thinking
5:18 oh I'm going to have originally I was
5:19 going to have the place out here for
5:21 maybe like a year things were going to
5:23 go back to quote unquote normal whatever
5:24 that means and then I would give the
5:26 place up here after a year maybe two
5:28 years of the lease go back to
5:31 SoCal and that didn't that didn't really
5:33 work out that way and in fact because of
5:35 the reason of the shutdowns out in SoCal
5:38 all California and there really wasn't a
5:40 whole heck of a lot to do I I still
5:42 remember vividly the time after a few
5:44 months of things happening went to
5:47 downtown Disney out there and all of a
5:50 sudden they said you cannot buy a bottle
5:52 of water and take a sip of a bottle
5:54 water without leaving the property going
5:58 back to your car if you you want to buy
5:59 I think some popcorn the parks weren't
6:01 even open this is this is Downtown
6:03 Disney you want to buy some popcorn you
6:05 got to go back to your car at the
6:07 parking lot before entering back through
6:09 the checkpoints for Downtown Disney now
6:12 granted this was months after everything
6:14 kind of started to culminate I thought
6:16 you know what I'm going to go to
6:19 Florida where the parks are open that
6:21 was mid December
6:24 2020 so that was what nine months eight
6:28 months seven months
6:29 after everything was really in full
6:32 swing you know they kind of started
6:35 stepping back a bit I thought I don't
6:36 want to step back I want to move forward
6:39 so I still vividly remember flew out
6:41 here was coming out here for the
6:42 holidays to film Christmas stuff and
6:44 spend time with my parents for Christmas
6:46 that Year hope I'm getting the right
6:48 year I think it was I think it was
6:49 December 20 yeah it was cuz that was 3
6:51 years ago ended up looking an apartment
6:54 here looked at it said I want this one
6:57 immediately signed the lease
7:00 and did the Bic Coastal thing for a
7:02 year and I didn't realize how you know
7:05 things were going to kind of end up out
7:06 of
7:07 Anaheim and then when the partnership
7:11 relationship roommate situation did not
7:13 work
7:14 out and I had half empty place out there
7:18 I just said you know what heck it I got
7:20 the place out here let me just go to
7:22 Florida so I have a lot of those
7:23 thoughts and memories in my
7:31 head
7:31 and then after being here I obviously I
7:32 travel a lot but after being in this
7:36 town I really started to to have a
7:40 newfound appreciation and kind of
7:41 rekindle my love of Florida once again
7:44 which I did not have before CU When I
7:46 was out in California I was really I
7:47 love California I love Southern
7:50 California I mean I just I love la I
7:52 love Burbank love Pasadena I love that
7:55 love Anaheim I love Orange County and
7:57 I'll always be going out there it's
7:59 really easy for me to hop on a flight to
8:00 MCO out to LAX or to John Wayne or
8:03 anything like that I will always
8:05 continuously be out there multiple times
8:07 a year sometimes maybe even for long
8:10 periods of
8:12 time I don't know where I was going with
8:14 that but just basically just wanted to
8:16 say that I am
8:18 not against going out there cuz I I love
8:22 it out there but just something
8:25 about kind of rekindling my
8:27 roots of Florida
8:30 my parents moved here in 1991 of course
8:32 I obviously I moved with them I was 17
8:33 years old I moved to St Cloud my dad
8:36 started preaching at a church
8:38 there and I've kind of been in and out
8:40 of the area ever since obviously coming
8:42 back to visit or you know some of the
8:45 first places I ever lived when I first
8:47 started working getting a job becoming
8:48 an adult and living in places all around
8:51 St Cloud and CMI and
8:54 celebration I mean that's that's recent
8:56 years but you know what I'm saying again
8:59 though as I was stating about the what
9:00 ifs you know what if certain things did
9:02 not
9:03 happen you know in that in that certain
9:07 year things could be considerably
9:09 different if I did not already have the
9:11 place the B Coastal Place I would have
9:14 just stayed out there I most likely
9:16 would have already stayed out there
9:19 and I mean I don't know you you could
9:22 maybe I wouldn't have maybe if the
9:25 situation was different maybe if I would
9:27 have stayed in the place by myself
9:31 and not had the co-joined
9:33 apartment with others and then also got
9:36 the place out here because if I didn't
9:39 yeah if I did not already have someone
9:43 else helping out at my place there then
9:46 I probably would not have been inclined
9:48 to get the place here because that
9:50 wouldn't have made much sense but it did
9:52 make sense at the time I don't know what
9:53 I'm showing but it did make sense at the
9:56 time because I could be gone I would
9:58 have somebody watching over the place
9:59 which is which was a positive thing and
10:02 that's why I got the place here and then
10:04 when that kind of fell through I had the
10:06 place here anyway no more what ifs
10:10 granted everyone has their own decisions
10:13 everyone could do what they want and
10:14 obviously I'm not going to let anything
10:16 deter me from doing something I'm just
10:18 very impulsive I guess what I'm trying
10:20 to say is just the littlest slight
10:23 detour of something on decisions made by
10:26 yourself or even others
10:29 can really
10:30 alter what when you have an impulsive
10:33 mind like myself that can really alter
10:36 things because I am really
10:40 impulsive more on that to come and when
10:42 you combine impulsiveness with
10:44 circumstances and certain things that
10:46 you are in the middle
10:49 of decisions could be swayed and altered
10:51 differently than they would be I'm
10:53 making no sense I like making decisions
10:55 even though they're impulsive sometimes
10:57 good I like making good decisions but I
10:59 I also like making really bad decisions
11:01 because sometimes those bad decisions
11:03 formulate into good decisions later that
11:06 you would not be in a position to make
11:07 those good decisions if you had not made
11:09 the bad decision to begin with I'm going
11:13 deep this is it the last official day
11:15 living right
11:16 downtown Main Street USA I like to refer
11:19 to this as celebrations Main Street USA
11:21 obviously this town was built by Disney
11:22 no longer owned by the Disney
11:23 Corporation anymore but they built it as
11:26 the perfect small town the clock tower
11:28 not Clock Tower but the clock over there
11:30 that I always show is right over there
11:31 by the bank the post office right over
11:34 there this very unique building all
11:36 these buildings built different built by
11:38 different
11:40 Architects it's going to be nice not
11:42 parking in the cluster F if you know
11:44 what I mean of December and even
11:47 Halloween into December parking over
11:50 near where where my apartment was rest
11:53 of the year not 10 months out of the
11:54 year it's fine and I was up on the upper
11:57 level so I wasn't on the ground floor
11:59 which made it kind of difficult when I
12:00 wanted to pull the bicycle down I had to
12:02 go down flights of
12:05 stairs which that's fine I mean it's
12:06 good to get you get your steps in and
12:09 and all
12:14 that but I tell you the the moving
12:14 during this time has been a little
12:15 tedious with not being able to park near
12:17 the apartment to to move but it's all
12:19 done now it's all done such a beautiful
12:24 town I mean just amazing the fact that I
12:28 mean I think about this well I'm
12:31 thinking about this when I decided to
12:33 move back here I looked at a couple
12:35 apartment complexes near Walt Disney
12:37 World decided against those there was
12:39 one or two that actually went and looked
12:40 at and one in particular I ended up
12:45 talking to the leasing manager almost
12:46 chose decided against that then I
12:47 thought about what about downtown CMI
12:49 what about downtown Orlando what about
12:50 going back to downtown St Cloud and then
12:52 it hit me what the heck man what about
13:04 and other than the the the couple months
13:04 of tedious parking those 3 years
13:07 truthfully this is everything else was
13:10 an awesome experience being down here oh
13:11 this is the parking situation you can
13:13 see people have to kind of double Park
13:16 even to run in and get something because
13:17 the regular parking lot over here is
13:20 filled up granted you can
13:22 park a block or two away other public
13:24 lot right now and it's not too bad but
13:26 if you want to get ride up to move
13:28 something or to go in move some take
13:29 some groceries in or something like that
13:32 sometimes it's it's a hike for example
13:34 you know all these lots are filled up
13:35 someone double parked right there
13:37 someone double parked right there even a
13:40 worker can't find a spot so if you were
13:42 living here or living over
13:51 there again mostly December is the
13:51 problem and October Halloween and
13:53 Christmas in fact I don't even have my
13:55 car in this lot I had to park over in
13:58 the next surrounding lots a block away
14:00 just so I could walk over here to clean
14:02 and turn my keys in still having
14:04 memories back when I came to look at the
14:06 apartment met the realtor right down
14:09 here 3 years goes by quick but at the
14:12 same time it seems like longer but it
14:15 also seems like less it almost seems
14:16 like yesterday but it seems like 10
14:17 years ago at the same time I'm not
14:19 making any sense today one thing that
14:21 really made me happy being down here is
14:23 each
14:24 Christmas I'm also kind of echoey cuz
14:27 I'm right here in the hallway kind of
14:29 looking down at the
14:35 staircase but anytime they do the snope
14:35 I could always hear the music cues at 6
14:37 7 8 and
14:39 9 and then I could always hear everyone
14:41 laughing having a good time with their
14:42 family the snow falling right down
14:51 here pretty dang awesome always made me
14:51 happy kind of noisy but yeah noisy down
14:55 here such a great
14:57 area but it was a good it was a good
14:59 kind of noise it was the kind of noise
15:01 that made you
15:02 happy it's kind of like when you can
15:05 hear fireworks and I lived in an I could
15:08 I could hear and see the Disneyland
15:10 fireworks from my room
15:12 balcony and you knew what time it was I
15:15 always not know what time it was by the
15:17 falling of the snope
15:19 announcement on Market Street whether it
15:21 was 6 7 8 or 9 I mean I had to be one of
15:23 those hours
15:25 but you just peek out the window and you
15:28 walk out on the balcony like man this is
15:30 really freaking cool being down here I
15:32 always wanted to know if that's like a
15:34 little porch up there or what that is
15:36 you got the birds up
15:58 there got my cleaning supplies already
15:58 there of course got my coffee it's also
16:01 interesting when you have a place when
16:03 you get all the furniture out of the
16:04 place how echoey it is how Furniture
16:07 when there's Furniture in a place it
16:10 really does stop the echo echoless it's
16:14 reminds me a lot when I first walked in
16:16 when I moved in here I moved in here
16:17 with nothing just one
16:20 bag and I kind obviously I didn't have
16:22 the cleaning supplies here at that time
16:24 but kind of has the Bare Bones look on
16:27 how it was when I moved done got to get
16:29 to sweeping mopping cleaning up dusting
16:35 scrubbing that was my room down at the
16:37 end there just a little little place it
16:39 was just a living room a little kitchen
16:42 bathroom closet how do you call it a
16:46 walk-in closet in the
16:48 bedroom and then two closets here in the
16:52 hallway two small closets and a washer
16:54 and dryer in unit which was really nice
16:57 I like this Echo though
17:00 Hello
17:02 Goodbye had a lot of good memories in
17:05 here it also seems a lot smaller when
17:08 there's not anything in it a TV was over
17:11 here couch was over here there's a few
17:14 things in the cupboards and on top of
17:17 the cupboards but just having the living
17:19 room empty like this it seems smaller
17:22 it's weird how it's weird how Stuff
17:26 makes things seem bigger things seem
17:29 bigger when in reality they're the same
17:37 size things that make you go this was
17:37 that walk-in closet I was talking about
17:40 which was nice cuz there was plenty of
17:41 room to put some clothes up here I had
17:45 all these shelves full of
17:47 stuff it's amazing how much you can kind
17:50 of cram into an area if need
17:54 be that was to utilize it and this was
17:57 the bedroom here
17:58 kind of looking out had two
18:08 windows best part was having an inunit
18:08 washer and dryer which I did not have
18:10 over in
18:11 Anaheim something to be said one of of
18:14 The Simple Pleasures in life is having
18:16 an inunit washer and dryer matter how
18:18 small your place is it's it's definitely
18:22 a perk I'm getting a little sad now I'm
18:24 getting a little nostalgic I want say
18:26 sad is not the right word but I can hear
18:29 the hustle and bustle of downtown right
18:30 behind these
18:32 windows moving on to other
18:35 things very positive better things
18:39 stepping up quite a notch if you will
18:42 more on that but just you know kind of
18:46 somber when you think about
18:53 thoughts 3 years of memories I'm 49
18:53 years old so 3 years there's really
18:54 nothing in the grand scheme of things
18:56 but that's a chunk of chunk of of my
18:59 life even though I was probably only
19:01 here half the time cuz I'm always
19:02 traveling maybe even less than half you
19:03 know what I'm saying so let's say a year
19:04 and a half three other years I here
19:07 anyway it's
19:33 one of my all-time favorite shows
19:33 sitcoms anyways Threes Company even
19:36 favorite shows for that matter and that
19:39 final episode when they moved out of the
19:41 apartment always gets me always tear up
19:43 a little bit not that I'm in that same
19:47 situation or am I Jack
19:50 Tripper but you know kind of get the
19:52 same idea about anytime you're in a
19:55 place and you share memories
19:56 and you know thoughts and
20:01 life and then you have to move along
20:03 from that I don't know I just kind of
20:04 always think of that last Threes Company
20:06 episode I kind of wish they would have
20:08 just ended the the last episode with
20:10 them walking out the door and turning
20:12 the lights off but looking at The Empty
20:13 Apartment kind of always makes me get a
20:15 little mistye eyed and obviously I'm not
20:20 I'm not going to shed a tear over this
20:21 place cuz it's just was just a short 3
20:23 years and again I traveled a lot in it
20:26 but I did share a lot of a lot lot of
20:28 memories and made a lot of moments in
20:29 here and it's just a piece of my
20:32 life I didn't mean to go down a thre
20:35 company rabbit hole
20:36 but
20:39 anyway go turn the keys in
20:42 now say goodbye to this apartment
20:44 forever and on to Future wonderful
20:52 things sometimes I think I'm a little
20:52 too nostalgic for my own good it's
20:54 probably not a bad thing
20:57 but I always love looking forward to the
20:59 future and planning things and trying to
21:02 progress and accomplish things think
21:05 about what's going to happen in a year 5
21:07 years 10 years planning for that kind of
21:09 stuff and even though I am pretty
21:12 impulsive usually do have some sort of a
21:14 game
21:16 plan but I definitely dwell on the past
21:18 a lot more of a Nostalgia thing I don't
21:22 think I'm try to try to explain that
21:25 but it's more of a nostalg thing more
21:28 than oh I wish I could go back to those
21:30 times but I definitely look back at good
21:32 and bad times
21:38 fondly these are the three items I'm
21:38 taking with me all I need is this broom
21:40 this plunger this dust pan I've already
21:42 moved everything
21:54 else next time I'll be parking in here
21:54 is when I just come drive over here to
21:55 visit all right accomplished Keys have
21:57 been turned in in mailbox key turned in
22:00 filled out the
22:05 paperwork it's
22:05 done one thing I it was interesting when
22:08 I was standing there at the door looking
22:09 at The Empty Apartment one thing I
22:11 always do when I travel cuz I travel a
22:12 lot and I'll take travel pretty light I
22:15 always want to make sure I have
22:16 everything that I need as far as camera

22:24 anything that you need when you're
22:25 traveling clothes and I will open a door

24:30 some of the fire
24:32 extinguishers around evidently the door
24:36 was open and someone got
24:39 inside and grabbed the fire
24:42 extinguishers you can even see some of
24:43 the fire extinguisher stuff there on the
24:52 ground I want to see this place open

25:25 now I need to get a bicycle pump I have
25:25 a bicycle pump on my bike

25:29 I'm going to start riding my bike a
25:31 more but I have a pump that attaches to
25:34 the frame of the bike a small one I want
25:36 to get a bigger pump that I can have
25:39 next to the
25:41 bike that way I can pump it up before
25:44 going out on bike rides and then use the
25:46 one pump that's there on the frame in
25:48 case I need it I think a bigger pump
25:51 would come in handy nothing to do with

25:54 throw that in there cuz I'm here at the
25:55 water tower and walk through this
