0:40
the fact that as of today i am a one or
0:43
two days
0:44

0:58
preface this i am not a

medical professional but what i have

1:10
i am officially
1:14
fully vaccinated i want to talk about
1:17
that i'm inviting you to join me
1:19
shall you it will be exciting when
1:21
conventions
1:23
start to rear their head once again
1:26
here at this convention center i believe
1:30
vidcon is slated for later in the year
1:32
and then next year of course
1:34
d23 star wars celebration
1:38
and the likes of quite a few others i
1:41
just saw a little activity up here i saw
1:43
a couple trucks that had convention
1:44
center
1:46
etched on the side oh yeah so here's
1:49
a worker going by now they might be
1:52
setting up for something that i don't
1:53
know about
1:55
or just you know cleaning the place up
1:58
speaking of conventions
2:00
i will be going back to florida
2:03
middle of august which is my birthday
2:05
month my birthday is on august 10th
2:08
i'll be heading back shortly after that
2:11
very shortly after my birthday on august
2:14
10th i will be heading back
2:15
to florida for a couple of events that
2:18
are taking place there
2:20
and i will be documenting those might
2:22
even go to
2:23
a few tampa bay rays games
2:26
as well who have a good shot at making
2:29
it to the playoffs
2:30
and if that happens i might document a
2:32
little bit of that in the postseason as
2:34
well but i digress
2:36
i will be doing a plethora of other
2:38
things there
2:40
and then i'll be heading up to atlanta
2:42
spoiler alert i've announced this i
2:43
think everyone kind of realizes that's
2:45
been following my channel for years
2:46
i always go to dragon con atlanta and
2:49
this year will be
2:50
no exception last year was the only
2:52
exception because it did not happen
2:54
this will be like my eighth year ninth
2:56
year seventh year i've lost track
2:58
it's kind of a staple of what i do
3:02
every early september truth be told i
3:05
was a little hesitant and i delayed
3:07
for quite a while to even
3:11
to even decide on getting the very first
3:14
first little poke first jab once i did
3:17
it
3:18
i was i was all in gave it a lot of
3:20
thought i did not
3:21
go in immediately when it was announced
3:24
i wanted to do a little bit of research
3:25
a little thought process a little
3:26
soul-searching
3:28
but that just kind of like went up my
3:29
nose the top of the the umbrella there
3:32
so over a month and a half ago got the
3:34
first one
3:35
i did not go with the johnson and the
3:38
johnson johnson one
3:39
simply because it was not available with
3:41
the moderna
3:44
this is kind of like a maze of trees
3:47
sometimes it's full of cosplayers and
3:49
we'll be again
3:51
and the way it worked is with the the
3:52
one i got
3:54
28 days later had to get the second
3:56
which is what i did and that was i
3:57
believe 16
3:58
15 16 17 days ago don't don't quote me
4:01
on that
4:02
but that's kind of the estimate and now
4:05
it's completed
4:06
and part of the reason i did that there
4:09
were many reasons
4:11
but one of the reasons just one of the
4:14
few
4:16
was so that i would have the
4:17
availability to travel at the greatest
4:19
of these
4:20
go anywhere i needed to go by the way
4:23
this is the time right now it is
4:27
almost 10 45 a.m kind of an early stroll
4:30
and i get myself a
4:31
well for me it's a little later i get up
4:33
early but early stroll as far as before
4:35
noon
4:36
when i head over and get myself a piping
4:38
hot caffeinated beverage if
4:40
the coffee shop at the end down here on
4:43
catella
4:44
is open and plus i did not want to wear
4:47
a facial covering anymore
4:48
part of the perks were to if you were
4:51
fully
4:52
done and completed
4:56
whoa this tree has been kind of cut down
4:59
at the center
5:00
well not the center but the the lower
5:01
portions above the roots but
5:05
below the trunk or an eighth of the way
5:08
up the trunk her
5:09
a 50th of the way up the trunk
5:13
and that really had a lot to do with it
5:15
because of not only the other reasons
5:17
i stated i'm not a doctor but part of
5:20
the
5:21
i want to say advertisement but part of
5:22
what was being put out there
5:25
by places was you will be part of the
5:29
the selected that would not have to wear
5:32
a facial covering
5:33
indoors or outside once that took place
5:38
and that was appealing to me and
5:40
obviously i do not want to have any
5:41
restrictions for travel
5:43
which i you know travel quite a bit so i
5:46
went for it
5:48
and now things have things have kind of
5:51
changed a bit
5:52
disney parks on both coasts here in the
5:55
us
5:55
are now it is mandatory inside
6:00
whether you have been whether you've
6:02
gotten the
6:03
the jab or not whether you are fully
6:06
completed
6:08
going back you have to have these on
6:11
these
6:12
must be worn inside will it eventually
6:16
take place outside other theme parks
6:18
have also have also kind of
6:20
jumped on board with that as well and a
6:22
lot of that is because of state
6:24
regulation so that is understood but wow
6:28
very interesting very interesting indeed
6:31
now let me state i had no issue
6:34
for months and months and months packed
6:36
probably even close to a year
6:39
of wearing these i was i went full in
6:42
in my travel going to theme parks
6:46
going to events going well not too many
6:48
events but going out and about
6:50
i got used to it i really had no issue
6:53
with it in fact i kind of like the
6:54
distancing
6:55
and one of the reasons besides the one i
6:58
stated
6:59
on on going forward with what i ended up
7:03
getting
7:04
was because the distancing had come to
7:06
an end
7:07
i did not like that i was very
7:09
comfortable
7:11
with having the distancing and not not
7:14
being vacs i had no issue with that
7:16
but once i realized and walt disney
7:18
world
7:20
i was there on the day walt disney world
7:22
announced
7:23
that there was no more distancing and
7:27
were not necessary for those who had
7:29
gotten it which i
7:31
had not at that time made the decision
7:34
the next day or two
7:35
i'm going to get it because people are
7:36
right up in here you know sneezing
7:38
coughing yelling to their family members
7:40
across the way you know spittle in the
7:43
air
7:44
and that swayed me quite a bit and then
7:47
as i mentioned a moment ago
7:50
there was a little bit of the benefit
7:51
with knowing that after a full
7:55
month and a half yeah because it would
7:57
be from the first
7:59
to the second was a month and then two
8:00
weeks after i have to be fully
8:02
these would be a thing of the past but
8:04
they're not
8:06
they're back i'm pretty good at rolling
8:08
with the punches
8:10
i really can see both sides of
8:11
everything have no real issue with it
8:13
just kind of
8:14
thinking out loud but it really is
8:18
quite a quite an interesting concept
8:24
what has been happening over the last
8:24
year and a half
8:33
that was a big truck pull in the
8:33
convention center delivering some
8:35
supplies perhaps
8:41
i'm gonna just keep doing what i do and
8:41
if it is required at any of the events
8:43
coming up
8:44
to be honest i am just really content
8:47
that events
8:48
conventions and parks are open
8:52
and if there's some interesting rules
8:54
that always will be changing
8:56
i will have to adhere to those
8:59
because i want to do stuff because
9:02
that's
9:02
that's kind of my life and in a weird
9:05
way my career is doing stuff
9:08
also over there i mean when that hotel
9:10
was closed
9:12
the alpine inn and that is the back side
9:14
at the back side of water
9:15
but the backside of radiator springs i'm
9:17
going right up here to get a coffee
9:19
i forgot i gotta loop back it is also
9:21
interesting
9:22
not really in regards to the these will
9:23
probably go away again
9:25
but when it comes to you know getting
9:28
the getting the jab there
9:30
a lot of places a lot of employers
9:32
including disney
9:34
other theme parks even google are going
9:37
to make it
9:38
100 mandatory to work there that you
9:41
have to have
9:41
if not you gotta find another job
9:45
clever twist i certainly do remember a
9:47
time walking past here on multiple
9:49
occasions
9:50
and this place was not open i'm glad it
9:52
is now
9:53
piping hot hazelnut latte
9:56
acquired oh take a look at this very
9:58
colorful van right over here
9:59
that's kind of the same kind of van i
10:01
had except it wasn't painted that way
10:03
the only advice i could give anyone not
10:05
that my advice matters nor
10:07
should it but if someone was to confide
10:10
in me and ask what they should do
10:12
i would say just go with your instinct
10:14
go with your gut go with what your heart
10:16
tells you
10:17
and closed close those that are close to
10:20
you what their opinion is
10:22
should matter more than you know what
10:24
you're reading what you're seeing
10:26
media mass media social media is really
10:29
quite a thing right now and you're
10:30
really kind of getting
10:31
inundated from all sides you have to you
10:33
have to really do your own research your
10:35
own thoughts process
10:36
and really kind of what is inside on
10:38
what you need to do
10:39
if i was to be stubborn which i am not
10:42
stubborn
10:42
on the subject anymore i took care of
10:46
my prerogative that was a song has
10:48
nothing to do with that
10:50
bobby brown is that who that was why did
10:52
that pop in my head
10:54
i have chosen to go my route but others
10:58
might not share the same opinion and
11:00
everyone is entitled to that
11:02
now if i had decided not to i still have
11:06
a job i am self-employed i can still
11:08
make a living
11:10
some who might be kind of on the fence
11:13
with this
11:14
might have to find another job even
11:15
places that have worked there for a long
11:17
time
11:18
that's that's pretty wild and
11:22
it's something that really has not
11:23
really happened in this situation this
11:25
is a
11:25
2020 even 2021 is becoming almost as
11:29
dramatic and
11:30
and interesting as 2020 was with this
11:33
whole situation
11:40
oh that's good now the question exists
11:40
will places
11:41
will a lot of places oh there's
11:43
definitely something
11:44
going on over here should have probably
11:47
looked up to see what's happening at the
11:49
convention center will places i'm going
11:52
to say
11:53
probably yes a lot of places places in
11:56
other countries even
11:57
touristy establishment across the seas
12:00
are
12:00
requiring that you have proof you must
12:03
show proof
12:04
before entering so if you have not
12:07
partaken
12:08
you cannot go and if you know if you're
12:10
kind of staying at home if you're kind
12:11
of a homebody
12:12
it really wouldn't matter but the
12:14
conundrum especially in my
12:16
position and many others who are very
12:18
active with going out and
12:20
socializing and being around others and
12:21
wanting to go to events
12:23
you might not have the ability
12:26
wrap your head around that you might not
12:28
have the ability
12:30
to go do stuff unless
12:33
you sway that direction which i find
12:36
very fascinating very fascinating
12:39
this is a hotbed subject matter
12:42
some will see it one way some will see
12:44
it another
12:45
half the people will not see it one way
12:49
you could make a statement half the
12:52
people
12:53
in the world will disagree with you the
12:55
other half will be rooting you off
12:58
whatever you decide and that pretty much
13:00
is par for the course now
13:01
with everything whatever it is
13:04
you know there's a saying don't talk
13:06
about religion
13:07
don't talk about politics but that has
13:10
morphed into a lot of other subject
13:12
matters now
13:13
especially with the internet and
13:15
everyone
13:16
the voices that are out there it's a
13:20
little
13:20
people can be a lot more vocal than they
13:22
used to be they can disagree more they
13:24
can agree more and it is seen
13:27
a lot more in a peculiar time
13:30
that we are living at peculiar
13:34
saying these words a lot nonetheless
13:38
as of two weeks ago well 16 days give or
13:41
take a day i'm not counting
13:43
i have received the second dose i am now
13:47
armed and i got it in the arms and
13:50
operational and i am available to go
13:53
wherever i want
13:54
go in anywhere i want with the exception
13:57
i now have to even those who do not
14:00
decided to get one get it
14:02
i am in the same boat as them walking
14:05
inside places
14:06
at least here in southern california and
14:07
i believe florida disney and florida
14:10
disney world has also
14:12
adopted that that mandate
14:15
gonna go over here to the where's the
14:16
entrance out oh there it is right over
14:18
there i'm gonna go across the street
14:19
but i gotta cross over here first to get
14:21
to the old entrance get over there
14:23
let me just reiterate i will follow
14:25
anything that needs to be followed just
14:27
as i have been for the last year or so i
14:30
have been very active
14:31
going out doing things even since the
14:33
shutdowns
14:38
it's just my lot in life i want to go
14:38
out and do stuff
14:40
but i do not believe we will see
14:42
shutdowns like there were before i
14:44
believe it's going to be it's not going
14:46
to be as intense
14:47
might have a few setbacks a few of these
14:49
peculiar conundrums
14:51
and a lot of decision making but we're
14:54
definitely farther ahead than we were
14:56
a year ago that's in my humble opinion
14:58
so for now
15:00
they're back these are back
15:04
i kind of hope they go away again i got
15:05
really used to not having them on
15:08
especially not having the the front of
15:09
your nose kind of rubbed with the little
15:12
the top of the facial covering here but
15:14
for now
15:15
we've got to get used to these again for
15:18
now
15:23
i guess i should probably put it i put
15:23
it on when i was getting coffee
15:26
i put it over the ear there and then
15:30
there we go there's there's one for
15:32
posterity
15:45
oh man who would have guessed who would
15:45
have guessed
15:50
some would have guessed on another side
15:50
note i have been taking a big break from
15:52
going to the disney parks
15:54
i did go to knotts and universal shortly
15:56
after my last visit into disneyland
15:58
and i'm even going to take a break from
16:00
theme parks in general for
16:02
a little while now obviously into
16:05
september when hot season happens
16:07
i will be going to a lot of theme parks
16:09
for the haunt events well that person is
16:11
going very very fast
16:17
and the 50th anniversary of walt disney
16:18
the first week of october walt disney
16:21
will be fun but i'm really starting to
16:23
slow down a lot of the theme park
16:25
content mostly because it is so busy
16:28
so many people are in there and now the
16:30
added
16:32
excitement of having to put the facial
16:35
coverings back on
16:37
it doesn't get me two doesn't get me too
16:40
thrilled in that one especially in the
16:43
heat
16:44
but i will add here as stated
16:47
wait wait wait i still think it's very
16:50
rude for this crossing signal to ask how
16:53
much i weigh yes i know i've been eating
16:55
a lot walking signal
17:00
and if you look over there got the
17:00
signage up
17:02
across the way back when all the shut
17:04
you know everything was shut down
17:07
i did a lot of walking through here and
17:09
right now it's not real
17:10
it's not really a massive congregation
17:12
of people nor is it a beehive of
17:14
activity
17:15
but it will be again soon there are
17:17
events slated for here this is very
17:19
futuristic looking is it not
17:21
almost looks like something out of fly
17:22
the navigator
17:28
compliance i love
17:28
conventions i love events i love the
17:32
hype of opening day things rides opening
17:35
i love being around throngs of people
17:40
and i also like being out in the middle
17:41
of nowhere traveling to you know
17:44
towns that have no one in them just
17:46
being by myself
17:47
i kind of have to have ebbs and flows of
17:49
that a little bit of each
17:50
that's just kind of how that's just how
17:52
i am but i love
17:54
hype i love excitement i love
17:57
when an area like this is elbow to elbow
18:00
and it will be again
18:01
soon sooner than later thinking back to
18:05
d23
18:06
a couple years ago that was through here
18:08
it's happening next year
18:09
in 22. this place you could even move
18:13
through here
18:23
i'm ready for that excitement again
18:24
dragon con that's going to be
18:26
how is dragon con gonna be this year
18:28
i've heard
18:29
rumors that there will be a parade
18:34
on that saturday of dragon con which is
18:36
massive
18:37
i think dragon con usually attendees is
18:39
over 100 000 people
18:42
there's no distancing
18:47
other things that are happening in
18:47
orlando conventions of plenty
18:50
everything is back to how they were in a
