welcome everyone Adam
0:30
the woo
0:33
here got a big announcement today and
0:35
let me tell you this
0:38
decision is a tough
0:40
one it's my second channel daily Vlog
0:43
channel it's so
0:46
hot to say
0:49
goodbye
1:03
8,45
1:04
miles I have put on my
1:06
van since I bought it in March of 2007
1:11
it had just under 1,000 miles on it when
1:14
I bought it it's a
1:16
2006 Ford
1:18
E150 this is going to be very emotional
1:20
for me in fact I'm starting to like get
1:23
a little Misty eyed
1:24
because this will be the last day
1:45
that because of this piece of Machinery
1:45
this
1:56
van it completely altered my life and
1:56
changed the course
2:08
it is pretty crazy that an inanimate
2:08
object can make you tear up a little
2:14
bit I honestly didn't think it was going
2:14
to be that big of a deal and it just hit
2:16
me all of a sudden that
2:19
without without this van I would have
2:24
never gotten to the point where I am now
2:27
and done what I have done because
2:30
because originally this vehicle was a
2:34
huge burden on me and I completely
2:38
flip-flo that around and this became a
2:42
massive blessing and a
2:44
new Transportation no pun intended into
2:48
the next Avenue of my life originally I
2:51
used the van to tour in my band a local
2:55
band here in Central Florida whenever we
2:57
would go out of state or play shows we
3:00
would use the van shortly after I bought
3:02
it I realized this was probably not the
3:04
best decision because the band was just
3:06
a local band we really didn't make a
3:08
profit playing shows and I was paying
3:11
all of the van payments out of my own
3:14
pocket because we never made really any
3:15
money off of playing concerts and
3:18
playing gigs and whatnot this was a real
3:20
bummer in fact there was one point even
3:23
with years of payments left I considered
3:25
trading the van in for a smaller car and
3:28
then it hit me why don't I utilize this
3:32
space to basically live and travel in it
3:35
was kind of like a revelation like Doc
3:37
Brown says a picture of my head a
3:40
picture of this this is what makes
3:44
travel
3:50
possible and because I made this
3:50
decision I ended up building a
3:58
relationship with this van these walls
3:58
could talk let me tell you I have spent
4:01
countless hours nights sleeping right
4:06
here on this floor so many miles so many
4:13
stories why am I holding
4:30
this sorry guys you got to to come down
4:30
one by one the pins must be removed I'm
4:34
keeping you guys you're just not going
4:36
to be mounted up here on the side of the
4:38
wall anymore the memories still remain
4:41
up there
5:43
I am a firm believer that you constantly
5:43
have to change things up if you want to
5:47
progress and that is why I am getting
5:50
rid of the
5:51
van it's a very hard decision to make
5:55
that is for sure but it was also a very
5:58
hard decision to originally quit my job
6:02
and move out of my apartment start doing
6:05
these videos and traveling and the van
6:09
has always been a tool in
6:12
that and I think the next step to
6:15
progress to the next Plateau or the next
6:19
step the next level of what I want to do
6:22
in my life and for these
6:26
Vlogs does not involve having the van
6:30
anymore and because it is reaching about
6:33
200,000 mil on it things are starting to
6:36
deteriorate and fall apart there really
6:39
is not a place for me to store the van
6:42
and I do not want to burden anyone with
6:45
having the van being stored while these
6:49
future endeavors will be happening and I
6:51
will get to
6:52
those in the upcoming days of what my
6:55
future plans are it's crazy that this
6:57
will be the last time that I
7:00
drive behind this wheel in the captain's
7:04
chair it's pretty Bare Bones in here
7:06
right now that is for
7:23
sure that's right scary alien face on
7:23
the
7:25
roof this is the last moments that I
7:27
will be sitting inside my now
7:32
former vehicle van
7:36
and the next few moments are the last
7:38
times you will see this in these
7:42
Vlogs crazy to think about the very
7:45
first daily woo Vlog was filmed right
7:48
here in this spot this van has taken me
7:51
to 46 of the 48 continental United
7:55
States as well as Mexico and Canada it
7:59
has served me
8:01
well you have served me well you've done
8:05

8:05
duty now you can go
8:10
home and sleep well
