movie locations television history
0:18
perfect dare i say perfect weather
0:22
disneyland resort walter original magic
0:24
kingdom
0:25
just over my shoulder in the
0:26
neighborhood the vicinity within a
0:29
couple miles
0:31
of where i reside and my intention
0:34
moving back here i lived in orange
0:36
county from 2015 to 2016 and i traveled
0:38
for a while
0:40
for a year so i've moved up to hollywood
0:42
for two years
0:43
and then said heck it going back down to
0:46
the oc
0:47
which is frowned upon to call it that
0:49
but orange county
0:56
california not florida by the way i'm
0:56
inviting you to join me as i
0:58
think out loud on my thoughts
1:02
current thoughts of what i'm doing my
1:05
days are numbered
1:07
here in california i'm stating that just
1:10
to give myself some accountability
1:12
also to remember how i have been feeling
1:16
and to to not forget and get complacent
1:19
i am very stubborn
1:21
when it comes to my decisions very
1:24
hard-headed
1:24
and i enjoy
1:28
doing things i enjoy free will going out
1:31
living life to the fullest my intention
1:40
i do not mind putting in the time effort
1:40
traveling around the country
1:41
documenting things on
1:44
a pretty grand scale let's face it i've
1:46
been
1:49
i've been probably gone more time more
1:52
weeks and months if you combine them up
1:55
than i am when i am
1:56
quote unquote home and that's fine i
1:59
have no problem with that i have no
2:00
problem with
2:02
with dedicating this channel and my life
2:05
to adventures but in theory
2:10
when i go back to a homestead i would
2:13
like
2:14
it to be a simpler time period when it
2:18
comes to
2:19
creating content you know struggling out
2:22
traveling when you're back home
2:25
it should be a little easier isn't that
2:27
right
2:29
bird of paradise very beautiful
2:33
and over the last year 2020 has been
2:36
very difficult not as difficult for me
2:39
as it has been for others i am
2:43
i am single i am able to travel
2:46
i do not have family close by
2:50
which i will get to that in a little bit
2:52
so
2:53
the the issues which a lot
2:56
are having to take into consideration do
2:59
not affect me
3:00
as much if you know if something were to
3:04
happen
3:05
to myself it's just me i have to worry
3:07
about and that really factors into
3:10
a lot of the decision making that i do
3:13
anyway
3:13
i digress i'm getting distracted
3:19
when i'm home as i was studying when i'm
3:19
home
3:20
i would the whole the whole idea was
3:23
okay i can
3:24
travel for two weeks or three weeks come
3:26
home for a couple weeks
3:28
or a month and while i'm here i can
3:30
enjoy
3:31
disneyland i can enjoy universal studios
3:35
i can also take in the sights and the
3:37
sounds of
3:38
museums
3:45
and parks around socal
3:45
the greater los angeles area and in 2020
3:49
save for the first couple months that
3:50
was not a possibility or that was a
3:52
possibility
3:53
the first couple months and then you
3:55
know save for the first couple months
3:56
after that
3:58
after was it march
4:01
all that changed and it changed for the
4:04
rest of the country
4:05
as well not just here however
4:08
the rest of the country with the
4:10
exception of a couple other states
4:15
started to to rear their heads
4:18
when it came to things to do california
4:21
was one of the ones that really did not
4:24
and has not in fact has
4:26
kind of taken a step back which
4:28
understandably
4:30
may or may i am not i am not a leader
4:33
there are leaders and there are
4:35
followers sergeant chevalier will always
4:37
be
4:38
a follower i am sergeant chevalier if
4:41
you will
4:42
well not really because i'm kind of a
4:43
leader in my own mind but i do not know
4:45
how to lead
4:47
others make decision making i am not in
4:49
a a
4:50
public office all that
4:54
i am not i am not knowledgeable when it
4:55
comes to those things
4:57
all i know is what i can do to better
4:59
myself
5:00
and to keep myself sane
5:11
my lease on where i am living currently
5:12
ends
5:13
in august could be september i cannot
5:15
recall
5:16
but it's the end of summer of 2021.
5:19
i am predicting that nothing here
5:24
in the state of california will really
5:26
change
5:27
dramatically when it goes to you know
5:30
doing a 180 when it goes to
5:32
opening establishments
5:36
probably up to that point
5:48
tennessee florida are two places i am
5:48
considering
5:50
moving to also new york city manhattan
5:53
those are the three and when i say that
5:57
new york probably will not happen it's
5:59
always been a bucket list on my mind to
6:01
live in new york for look at this
6:13
empty it has been a bucket list to live
6:13
in new york
6:14
hopefully before the age of 50 which is
6:15
three and a half years away that might
6:17
not happen now
6:18
due to circumstances because new york
6:20
state and the city
6:22
it's kind of in the same the same boat
6:25
as socal well all of cal
6:33
and i have also considered going back on
6:33
the road purchasing another van
6:35
i even looked at some of those sprinter
6:37
van units or maybe even a
6:39
i'm gonna get an rv that's just too big
6:41
but just something that i could travel
6:43
around or even getting
6:44
my car traveling to staying in hotels
6:47
and don't even have
6:48
a homestead per se but
6:52
probably will not go that route again
6:54
i've been there
6:56
and done that so i'm really leaning
6:59
towards
7:00
tennessee or florida
7:09
to set up camp i'll still travel i will
7:09
always come back to california i love
7:12
this place
7:13
with all of my heart i have defended it
7:17
tenfold to everyone friends family
7:22
all of my family lives on the east coast
7:24
whether it be florida indiana
7:26
my aunts and uncles cousins nephews
7:29
you know mississippi virginia georgia
7:33
north carolina those are the areas west
7:36
of there
7:36
i have no blood relatives that i know of
7:45
so being back either in pigeon forge
7:45
gatlinburg area
7:46
which i have been looking at places to
7:48
rent
7:49
or maybe possibly i thought i would
7:51
never say this
7:52
going back to the greater orlando area
7:58
or just not for for now not have a place
8:01
and just
8:02
just roll around the problem with that
8:04
is a lot of
8:06
a lot of different every state has their
8:07
different implications and their
8:09
standards and their
8:10
precautions you might not be able to go
8:12
to certain ones
8:14
it's a it's a difficult time i have to
8:16
do
8:18
what i feel is right and what i feel is
8:22
is to not complete the tenure
8:26
of what my lease is set to go through
8:28
august and september 2021.
8:33
so that will not be happening i am
8:33
stating that now i am not making an
8:36
announcement on
8:36
exactly where i am going to end up
8:46
it's all up in the air up in the air
8:46
what i'm going to do
8:54
and the the thought of change really
8:54
excites me i've been the last couple
8:56
days i've been stewing over this
8:58
and it really has got it's got the the
9:01
blood level
9:02
pumping i love adventure i love change i
9:05
love
9:06
mixing things up a bit
9:15
it everyone i know here
9:15
close friends acquaintances even those i
9:17
meet in passing
9:19
no one is joyous about what is taking
9:22
place
9:23
in this vicinity but it seems other
9:26
places
9:28
even though it is there are precautions
9:31
and things taking place
9:36
nope you know no problem i have no
9:36
problem with any of it
9:38
you know i have this i utilize this all
9:40
the time i keep my distance
9:42
i do all that stuff but it seems like
9:45
there is a
9:46
more joyous happiness elsewhere
9:50
and it should not be that california is
9:53
the perfect
9:55
place scenic amazing weather
9:59
you do not have hurricanes here is the
10:02
okay you know you might possibly get a
10:03
little shake up here and there
10:04
it's rare but other than that well they
10:07
got some
10:08
we got some pair of the mountains you
10:09
might have some some fires that's not
10:11
good
10:12
however other than that you can walk out
10:14
of your door every day
10:16
and not worry about the elements
10:19
being an issue it is not that way in
10:22
most of the rest of the us
10:25
and as stated i i really love movie
10:28
history i love
10:28
hollywood i love all the back lots all
10:31
that stuff i'm just so passionate about
10:34
so i will always return i will always
10:36
come back
10:37
probably just as much as me living here
10:40
and going to florida all the time
10:42
it would be the same vicinity me coming
10:44
here
10:45
constantly you know staying once
10:48
disneyland reopens
10:50
who knows when the heck that will be
10:53
they're doing like food festivals
10:54
they're doing buena vista street which
10:56
is very emotional walking in there
10:58
because you know
10:59
dca is disneyland in general right
11:01
across from the disneyland park
11:03
and then knott's berry farm however
11:06
it's just a tease you see these
11:09
attractions you see these rides
11:12
and you you want this
11:15
don't you yes yes we need this
11:29
so i got to doing a lot of hypotheticals
11:29
in my mind
11:30
what should i do if i break my lease
11:32
there is a little bit of a monetary
11:35
penalty which i have no problem paying i
11:38
could be
11:39
you know into early 2001 before
11:42
spring i could be officially a
11:46
non-resident
11:47
of southern california
11:54
and i'm fine with that i'm totally fine
11:54
here comes someone talking on their cell
11:56
phone very loudly
11:57
i'll go over here
12:02
so the wheels are in motion i put it
12:02
into the universe i am
12:03
stating this now will i end up in new
12:08
york city
12:09
will i end up back in florida will i
12:12
end up in gatlinburg pigeon forge which
12:14
is where i eventually want to
12:16
quote unquote retire there's a lot of
12:18
quote unquote quote unquote retire
12:21
i would like to settle down on my final
12:24
place that i will reside until the end
12:27
of my tenure here in life
12:29
in the smoky mountains
12:33
so maybe i can start that early
12:38
there's a little it's like a few people
12:40
out jogging today which is kind of nice
12:47
yeah this this place here really usually
12:47
is a
12:48
beehive of activity when it comes to
12:51
conventions
12:52
i'm just a couple miles from here my
12:54
intention was hey you know what
12:56
i'll move back down to orange county and
12:59
then when i'm home when i'm not
13:00
traveling when i'm not doing all that
13:02
stuff
13:03
really like you know kind of stressing
13:05
myself out being on the road
13:08
when i'm home i can go to conventions
13:11
visit the convention center
13:14
take an uber or a ride share or lift
13:17
over
13:19
and i'll just be in the content
13:22
be in the excitement but there is none
13:25
of that
13:32
there's none there's no excitement
13:32
little excitement
13:41
and i i have a lot of freedom that
13:41
i do not need to be harnessing myself
13:44
tethering myself to something that
13:47
doesn't need to be tethered to
13:50
that's it that's all i wanted to say
13:57
i will have another announcement but i'm
13:57
going to florida at the end of the month
13:59
starting the first of the month i will
14:00
be in walt disney world
14:09
staying on property for
14:09
a couple weeks of the month of december
14:12
and then
14:13
off property at another hotel for the
14:16
other couple months so pretty much
14:18
from december 1st
14:22
until after christmas
14:25
my game plan now is to probably be back
14:26
here here by new year's and i will have
14:28
made up my mind i'm going to do some
14:30
soul searching i'm going to talk it over
14:32
with
14:32
family but amongst all that i always
14:37
like to hear others opinions even those
14:39
that are close in my life
14:41
but it really comes down to what i want
14:43
to do
14:44
and that i'm going to soak in all
14:48
the thoughts and opinions from others
14:52
and then i'm going to make my own
14:52
decision
14:57
i've made my decision but the final
14:58
decision of where what the
14:59
what the next step will be it was a
15:02
it was it was a tough choice for a long
15:05
time
15:06
i really kind of battled with it back
15:07
and forth and the last couple weeks
15:17
have really have really helped me with
15:17
this
15:22
so this this will be a place i visit
15:22
many many times
15:23
i will be no stranger to this neck of
15:27
the woods i will
15:28
always be back and i will be back here
15:30
very maybe
15:31
maybe even half the time
15:34
but my physical address will either be
15:37
somewhere else not in california
15:42
the sun is bright or
15:46
i will just be on the road for a while
15:54
time will tell thanks for listening i'll
15:55
see you the next video the vlog
15:58
is over
