0:41
and i'm inviting you to join me for this
0:44
announcement
0:46
shall you
0:53
i have gone through different many
0:53
different tenures
0:54
and stages of my life and here on this
0:58
platform
0:59
i this was not a decision
1:03
that i thought i would even be making
1:06
until the last couple of months
1:08
but due to 2020
1:12
due to the curves the curveballs that
1:16
life
1:17
sends to toss our ways i have
1:22
i've decided that right here at the
1:24
threshold of
1:25
world drive
1:31
is where the property begins
1:31
i'll give you a small short very
1:34
impromptu
1:35
tour of the the general area
1:38
momentarily
1:50
yes i still do have a place in orange
1:50
county california
1:52
at least does not end until august
1:57
i have not decided whether i'm going to
1:59
pay the penalty
2:01
and cut out of there early or if i will
2:04
be
2:05
coast to coast until then i am leaning
2:08
towards
2:09
the ladder of that
2:12
i did not buy a house i do not i am not
2:15
renting a full-size humongous home here
2:20
whoa
2:23
look at that to quote happy gilmore
2:28
must be burt reynolds or something
2:35
i had a few different ideas about where
2:35
i wanted if i was to go back i always
2:37
stayed
2:38
i am never going back i'm never gonna
2:39
live in florida again i
2:42
do not enjoy the humidity the heat the
2:45
bugs
2:46
the rain the hurricanes
2:50
but here i am
2:58
it won't be too bad close to family
2:58
close to friends that i've had i lived
3:00
in this area for 25 years before
3:03
i started making video i'm gonna try to
3:04
switch what you're getting at what
3:06
i'm blocking you
3:13
and as much as like someone is honking
3:13
over there probably saying hello
3:18
it's going to be fun living here i
3:20
contemplated a few other spots
3:23
it was on my brain to go back to saint
3:26
cloud florida
3:28
because i wanted to be i didn't really
3:29
want to live in you know in an apartment
3:32
complex
3:33
per se i didn't want to be in a section
3:35
where
3:36
there was nothing i could go you know
3:38
walk outside
3:40
and kind of meander the premises or be
3:43
within a few blocks of a downtown area
3:46
so i said heck it what are my options
3:58
hello what are my options thought about
3:58
downtown orlando
4:00
being near lake eola in that section
4:03
then i thought about going back to saint
4:04
cloud and being in downtown st cloud i
4:06
love it that is my hometown
4:08
where i resided for many many years
4:11
i also thought about downtown kissimmee
4:14
and then it
4:15
kind of hit me what about celebration
4:19
what about being only a couple of world
4:22
drive is only about a mile from the
4:24
archway
4:26
to walt disney world
4:32
and that was my decision looked at some
4:32
places
4:33
found a few that i liked went and took a
4:35
look
4:36
a few different organizations around
4:38
here where they had some properties
4:42
and this it happened
4:50
and that's it so what's next on the
4:50
agenda as i switch hands
4:56
what's next on the agenda i will stay in
4:58
this area until at least
5:00
mid-january then i might you know this
5:03
is all just kind of thinking out loud
5:05
either fly or drive back to southern
5:08
california and decide figure out what
5:10
i'm going to do
5:11
all my stuff out there some of which i
5:14
will probably be selling unless i just
5:16
keep the place i have been renting out
5:18
there
5:19
and do the coast to coast thing and in
5:22
between that
5:23
driving back and forth road trips of
5:26
plenty or
5:28
none of this is set in stone i
5:31
definitely
5:31
another option would be to get rid of
5:34
everything out there
5:35
buy stuff i have no furniture
5:38
all i have is a
5:41
a backpack a suitcase
5:48
that's all that is at my new home
5:49
so i do need to purchase some things
5:51
okay you know some furniture
5:53
a small bed well a bed
5:57
i'm not i'm tall and not thin so it
6:00
would be
6:00
not a small bed but i buy a bed
6:07
couches a couple couches maybe a tv a
6:07
blu-ray player because i do enjoy
6:08
watching
6:09
you know a movie here and there when i
6:11
have a little downtime which is rare
6:14
that's about it that's all i really need
6:21
smaller accommodations than what i have
6:21
out in
6:22
southern california so really need to do
6:24
some soul searching some thinking
6:26
and decide with that i am not completely
6:29
100
6:38
but it could be it could be pre-august
6:38
up to
6:39
august that's it i'm going to show you a
6:42
few things
6:44
the downtown i believe it's called
6:46
market street which is kind of like
6:47
their main street usa
6:49
is just up there a little bit of a ways
6:51
not too far there are a lot of places
6:56
to stay right in celebration it's pretty
6:59
exciting
7:00
let's take a little walk classic car
7:03
alert and check out this mcdonald's very
7:06
kind of art deco style as
7:10
is the 7-eleven i really like the
7:13
architecture
7:14
in my new neighborhood almost has a
7:17
hollywood
7:18
type of vibe to it doesn't it that's
7:21
kind of what i'm getting
7:22
even though i've driven through this
7:24
area many times over the years
7:26
i'm still not very familiar with it so
7:28
i'm going to be kind of learning as i go
7:34
while living here wow it's just
7:34
just amazing to even say that those
7:36
words you know in a lot of ways this
7:39
reminds me of the town from the truman
7:41
show
7:43
which they filmed in seaside florida in
7:45
the panhandle
7:48
kind of reminds me of that from the film
7:50
barry truman show-esque
7:53
quaint this is not meant to be a tour
7:57
of a celebration per se but just more
8:00
of the announcement it will be a kind of
8:03
a learning curve i was going to have to
8:05
as i at the most time i spend here i
8:07
will know the little
8:08
nooks the crannies the history in depth
8:11
and a little more as time goes on
8:14
oh hello duck
8:21
oh there's quite a few ducks the
8:21
possible geese
8:23
here in the water let me reiterate and
8:26
very clear this is a work in progress
8:29
still we'll have place out in southern
8:32
california
8:33
if it was not for the vast amount of
8:36
movie locations that i have not
8:38
completed
8:40
projects that i still have kind of
8:42
rolling around not only on paper but in
8:43
my mind
8:44
and walt's original magic kingdom of
8:46
disneyland which who knows when that
8:48
will open
8:49
if that was not out there i would
8:51
probably not lean
8:53
towards going back as often but rest
8:56
assured i will be
8:57
in california a heck of a lot whether or
9:00
not after
9:01
august or before if i decide to get rid
9:05
of that place
9:06
and be full-time here in central florida
9:09
if celebration does work out over the
9:12
next series of months
9:14
i still will be a lot in california you
9:17
might not even notice too much of a
9:19
difference in the content it's just
9:20
basically where i'm going to be laying
9:22
my head
9:22
and calling home oh dang it looks like
9:26
i'm not the only one
9:27
moving to the area oh yes this is
9:30
this water tower could be almost like a
9:33
like a
9:34
beacon it's located on the corner of us
9:37
192 and
9:39
celebration ave now i recall
9:42
back when my family first moved here in
9:44
1991
9:45
there was a water mania
9:50
water park right over there and that has
9:52
since gone
9:53
away now there's a cvs golden corral
9:57
that publix is right back over here and
10:00
they're doing they have
10:01
kind of fenced off for whatever reason
10:04
the town of celebration if you veer off
10:07
of
10:07
highway 192 is
10:10
that direction and there is a lynx
10:14
bus system going by which i recall
10:17
many years ago i used to take the lynx
10:18
bus everywhere
10:20
so there's just a lot of nostalgia
10:22
starting to kind of
10:24
flood back into my mind
10:31
i have a lot of decisions to make on
10:31
whether or not you know
10:32
as stated the southern california spot
10:35
will continue through the rest of the
10:37
year who knows
10:39
what the future holds if if i knew i
10:41
would definitely
10:43
profess that
10:46
not only not only in my own head but to
10:50
everyone watching that's gonna do it for
10:52
today
10:53
if you're new here and you think this is
10:55
a good decision
10:56
please give this video a big thumbs up
11:00
it lets me not only know that you care
11:02
but also
11:03
you know it kind of gives me a little a
11:05
little motivation to to
11:07
maybe possibly i'm making a good call in
11:10
this you know i stated a couple of weeks
11:11
ago two or three weeks ago i made a
11:13
video where i was
11:14
i was kind of peppering in some ideas
11:17
and a thought process of
11:19
departing california with
11:23
a lot of the closures things that are
11:24
happening out there
11:26
i kind of saw a little bit of writing on
11:28
the wall on whether or not for what i do
11:30
for content for this channel
11:32
and as far as how active i am with
11:35
always
11:35
constantly going out and finding things
11:37
to do and doing things
11:39
that maybe that was not the best option
11:41
into
11:42
early and into mid 2021 came out here
11:46
started you know enjoying the holidays
11:50
and it just kind of all of a sudden just
11:52
hit me
11:53
heck it why not i had bounced around the
11:56
idea of
11:58
going to new york city which obviously
12:00
that's kind of on the same wavelength
12:02
as california is right now so just kind
12:05
of toss that
12:07
out the window and pigeon forge
12:10
gatlinburg which
12:11
are still my bucket list
12:14
and retirement end goal
12:18
and i didn't want to do that now and
12:21
ruin that
12:22
quote-unquote retirement later in life
12:26
hopefully purchasing a house there and i
12:28
figured you know renting something
12:30
in central florida would be the best
12:32
option family here my mom and dad
12:35
are down the way cloud florida which is
12:37
like a maybe
12:39
15 minute drive that way there are total
12:41
there's actually a toll road uh
12:43
a see this is i4 i4 is up that way
12:46
this is 192. 417 maybe 408
12:50
i i have to get my bearings to get on
12:53
and i can just kind of
12:53
zip over that way and then down to see
12:56
my family
12:57
and friends in fact when it comes to not
13:00
only a media family but also
13:02
uncles cousins nephews the likes of that
13:06
everyone is on the east coast only
13:09
friends
13:10
are on the west coast and i have quite a
13:12
few of them when it comes to
13:13
blood relatives everyone is is kind of
13:16
out here so it
13:17
it really is not a bad decision in my
13:20
own eyes
13:21
to do this and you know the theme parks
13:23
walt disney world there are
13:25
there's a lot there's disney springs
13:26
there's walt disney world
13:28
proper as far as you know the entire
13:30
property with the four
13:31
theme parks the water parks magic
13:34
kingdom
13:34
epcot animal kingdom disney's hollywood
13:38
studios
13:39
so there will be that but there will
13:41
also be a lot of road trips
13:43
going to and fro there probably won't be
13:44
a heck of a lot of flights i might go
13:46
back one time just to like tie up some
13:49
loose ends and decide what i'm going to
13:51
do with the place out there
13:53
but i kind of think if i keep both spots
13:55
i could drive
13:56
to and fro back and forth you know and
13:59
and stay out there
14:00
for a couple weeks do a couple week
14:02
drive back out here stay here for a
14:03
couple weeks
14:04
and go where the weather is you know
14:07
tending to be
14:08
not pleasant obviously will not be a lot
14:11
here
14:12
i will be on the road even if i don't
14:13
keep the place out of southern
14:14
california i will be on the road
14:16
prominently during the summer i will not
14:18
be here in the summertime unless
14:20
there is a event that is taking place
14:23
that draws me back in i do not like i've
14:25
stated this many times i do not like the
14:26
weather
14:27
here in the summertime i just i despise
14:30
it
14:31
so that is it's going to be a challenge
14:34
but i'm up for the challenge 2020 has
14:37
taught me
14:38
that sometimes you say you're not going
14:40
to do something
14:41
and then all that changes
14:45
never say never back
14:52
kind of it feels pretty feels pretty
14:52
good not gonna lie it feels pretty good
14:55
i'll see you in the next video the vlog
14:57
by the way i will be continuing
14:59
theme park content etc might even do a
15:02
little
15:03
a little more detailed into my new
15:05
homestead of celebration
15:07

15:09

15:14
