welcome everyone Adam made Louie here
0:06
Hollywood California standing on the
0:09
threshold the corner of sunset and Vine
0:12
in front of this familiar statue that is
0:16
hoisted above the cool crisp waterways
0:20
that our best student
0:22
two-foot incline into this pool of h2o
0:26
it's my second channel daily vlog
0:28
Channel and today my friends vlog number
0:41
1880 five days in a row you and I Co
0:41
joint in friendship at least through the
0:45
beauty of your smartphone and or your
0:48
computer that you're sitting in front of
0:51
wherever that might be
0:52
it's safe in daily whoo add in the
0:57
almost 400 other videos on the out of
1:01
the wooed Channel and that puts it well
1:03
over 2,000 I can't remember I don't know
1:05
the exact you can pull out your
1:07
calculator and formulate exactly how
1:10
many videos that I have put out into the
1:13
beauty of the interwebs
1:15
it's a lot it's I got to thinking when I
1:18
got up this morning and started to do
1:20
that math that I have quickly very
1:22
quickly forgotten now that I'm standing
1:26
out here in public the mind is not
1:28
always coordinating with the mouth but I
1:32
started to think man I've done a heck of
1:35
a lot of stuff I have done surpassed way
1:40
more than I ever expected I would have
1:42
done when I started this whole YouTube
1:46
adventure this extravaganza of the
1:49
interwebs putting myself out there
1:51
getting over my veritable kind of sort
1:56
of shyness that I once had at one point
1:57
there are two things when I was young
1:59
people always ask does that boy talk
2:02
does that boy talking about me does he
2:05
talk because I was very very shy he
2:07
would have to go way back into the
2:09
archives of Adam history to realize that
2:13
but I've always been kind of a Rekluse
2:16
I've always been the kind of person that
2:18
keeps to myself and this whole thing
2:22
that I am doing has brought me
2:24
considerably out of my shell it was
2:25
basically step two of coming out of my
2:27
shell the first one was working retail
2:29
for 20 years and dealing with the public
2:32
dealing with people coming up you start
2:35
to kind of force yourself to start to
2:38
learn how to communicate and talk to
2:39
people that was the first inclination
2:42
into getting over my you know hiding in
2:46
my own self cave a second is talking to
2:50
a camera talking to a phone talking to
2:52
some electronic gizmo in front of a
2:55
plethora okay a whole lot of people
2:57
normally I'm around more people
2:59
especially in theme parks and
3:00
conventions and whatnot I've always said
3:02
this if you are a new vlogger if you are
3:05
a if you are someone who is aspiring to
3:07
do this either as a hobby as a career or
3:11
just to do it just for the heck of it if
3:12
you're saying heck it I just want to
3:14
start filming myself and put my thoughts
3:17
into the world and if anyone is
3:18
interested than they can chime in
3:20
become part of what I am doing I've
3:23
always thought it's a good idea to do
3:25
and unedited for grab a camera go out in
3:28
the most populated area you can find he
3:33
will get over the fear of filming in
3:36
front of people it's a good way to do it
3:39
back in the day I used to only do
3:40
unedited vlogs and I've been doing these
3:42
edited vlogs for probably about two
3:44
years a year and a half two years I can
3:46
show way more but today I'm gonna keep
3:48
today's vlog completely we're gonna take
3:51
it back old school and come keep it
3:53
completely unedited and the reason I
3:55
want to do that is I want to just have
3:57
you feel what I am feeling I want you
3:58
have the sense the experience that my
4:01
mind is trying to convey towards you in
4:04
the topic I want to tackle today is why
4:08
do I do videos why did I start doing
4:13
these videos why I'm gonna start putting
4:15
my thoughts my feelings my travels my
4:19
adventures my enjoyment of things
4:22
presenting them in a nice little package
4:24
first on the out of the woo Channel and
4:27
now here on the daily woo and the reason
4:29
is two or three or four fold if you will
4:33
but the most important reason of why I
4:36
started the daily channel was to keep a
4:38
diary it's all about keeping a diary
4:41
about what I am doing so one day when I
4:44
finally stopped whatever that is whether
4:46
you know a week from now a month from
4:48
now two years from now five years from
4:50
now 20 years from now I can sit back in
4:53
my rocking chair on a porch at a
4:56
homestead something we're probably not
4:58
here most likely not here in the middle
5:00
of nowhere off the grid that hopefully
5:03
has Wi-Fi and I can watch my endeavors
5:06
of what I've done and I can say
5:09
I did that oh heck yeah I accomplished
5:15
that a major thing a major kind of
5:18
downfall a slightly negative thing about
5:22
doing daily videos not only for those
5:25
that are watching because you're always
5:26
looking at what I am doing the current
5:28
day not really going on a good of
5:30
backlog so much but also from my point
5:33
of view as I do the same thing I am
5:35
always looking at the future the current
5:39
day and I forget about what I have done
5:41
in the past I forget about what I did a
5:43
week ago a month ago two months ago and
5:46
this morning well I was at my homestead
5:48
while I was hanging out just browsing
5:51
through the repre tour if you will a
5:55
past content man it really sunk in like
5:58
I thought to myself self you should
6:03
maybe pat yourself on the back sometimes
6:05
I forget to Pat myself on the back we
6:08
all do it all of us are guilty of not
6:12
patting ourselves on the back and
6:14
remembering what it took to get us to a
6:16
certain point and that is its I'm very
6:20
grateful for my wife I'm very thankful
6:22
for what I have accomplished what I have
6:25
done and the grand scheme of things it's
6:27
not some major huge star gancho an
6:31
accomplishment I have not landed on the
6:33
moon
6:33
I've not cured cancer but I have put a
6:37
little bit a little bit of goodness into
6:41
the world and I have changed my life for
6:44
the better what I mentioned earlier
6:46
about coming out of my shell that is
6:47
that is one of the things but I have
6:49
also done what I set out to do and
6:52
continue to set out to do over five
6:55
years ago almost six years ago I quit my
6:58
job working a retail
7:00
which at a feed store before that it
7:02
works at a lot of grocery stores and it
7:05
was really something I wanted to do for
7:07
quite some time and I planned it out and
7:09
when I did this got a lot of flack for
7:12
it I got a lot of hesitancy from a lot
7:15
of people on that and over time I think
7:18
those who had a difference of opinion
7:20
and even me have realized that I made
7:23
the right decision it was not through
7:25
laziness it was not through non hard
7:28
work it took a long time to get there
7:30
there's an old old old video probably
7:34
find it on YouTube of comedian singer
7:36
and actor Will Smith he did an interview
7:40
and I'm about the hugest knowledge in my
7:45
brain of Will Smith's work I don't
7:47
really know exactly every single kind of
7:49
opinion he has or like what his stance
7:51
on things are but one thing that he said
7:53
that always stuck with me when I started
7:56
doing these these endeavors was you
8:00
don't you can't build a wall in a day it
8:04
takes very very very slow process and
8:08
the best way to build a wall is to take
8:10
a brick and place it one brick at a time
8:14
every day and you lay that brick as best
8:18
as you can you place it in the perfect
8:21
way you put the plaster or the whatever
8:24
the crazy
8:27
stuff that connects the brick I don't
8:30
know the terminology the layman's term
8:31
but you connect it one by one and over
8:34
time over a week over a month over a
8:36
year over five and a half years over
8:38
seven years you have a solid structure
8:41
that creates what you are building
8:45
I always like that analogy from the very
8:48
beginning of what I am doing it's come
8:51
to it's come to this it's been this way
8:53
for a while sometimes I forget I forget
8:56
that that's thought process that I had
8:59
when I started you're always your worst
9:02
critic people say you're always your
9:04
worst critic and that is very true
9:06
because when you create something when
9:08
you put something out in the public eye
9:11
that people can see especially on the
9:12
internet where people are very harsh
9:14
with their words where they are very
9:16
sometimes not always the most positive
9:19
you can get downtrodden you can get
9:21
discouraged but the reality is you're
9:24
doing what you want to do the passion
9:26
will always be there you'll always carry
9:29
on and you'll always look at the bright
9:31
side I've used the terminology don't
9:34
look at the glass half-empty look at the
9:36
glass and I think that part of the
9:40
reason I have gone as long as I have
9:42
doing this and continued on and carried
9:44
on and always thriving and striving
9:49
what I have been doing is because I look
9:52
at that glass that Vicariate till I have
9:54
a glass right here and that analogy
9:57
basically means if you have a glasses
9:58
you have a 16-ounce glass of a beverage
10:01
or milk or water which is also beverages
10:03
if you look at it like and I'm thirsty
10:06
I've been drinking it I've been drinking
10:08
this southern drinking this Cola this
10:10
soda this pop which is what some people
10:12
call soda in certain other areas of the
10:14
country pop when you drink that you said
10:17
Nana it's almost gone it's halfway gone
10:19
we're halfway there
10:21
we're not living on the prayer we're
10:22
living on this hydration soda or water
10:25
that is almost consumed then you would
10:29
be considered looking at the glass half
10:32
empty and not half full you can look at
10:35
it the other way in the other hand man
10:37
look how much look how much of this I
10:40
still have left and that's the way I
10:43
like to look at life that's the way I
10:45
look at a lot of things I am guilty as
10:47
is every one of not always not always
10:51
adhering to that policy no one is a
10:54
hundred percent of the time sticking to
10:57
their guns we all falter we all fail I
11:00
think it's all about striving it's all
11:03
about attempting it's all about waking
11:06
up every morning and whatever your goal
11:09
is sticking to that goal I think that's
11:12
what it's all about it's all
11:15
it's all about that this has been a
11:16
random very random we haven't had a talk
11:19
haven't had an unedited vlog talked in a
11:22
while I just got back off a three nearly
11:23
three-week road trip warned around
11:26
Hollywood Boulevard the other day I have
11:28
some plants coming up later in the week
11:29
I don't want to spoil them but I'm gonna
11:34
be departing a couple days or so to
11:39
another another thing you might be able
11:41
to figure it out if you do them if you
11:43
do the proper Columbo like research
11:45
skills you can probably figure out where
11:49
I will be going more on that the very in
11:53
a very very very very near future I love
11:56
all you guys what's up man
12:01
that was like the biggest failed try
12:03
that again here yeah nice see you man
12:07
sometimes you don't always do a high
12:09
five correctly you have to get to redo
12:11
the huh it was first as a HiFi that was
12:13
a fail in the low five the low five is
12:17
what the cop is the goal what do you
12:19
guys think of these on edited logs do
12:21
you want to have an unedited chat you
12:23
know once a month or so should we do one
12:25
of these off-the-cuff non edited really
12:29
no particular subject matter content you
12:34
want to just have a rambling I'm gonna
12:36
say incoherent where you want to have
12:38
something that just like kind of flows
12:39
off the off the cuff
12:41
where does that terminology come from
12:43
the cuff I think the cuff is like the
12:46
part of the part of your pant leg that
12:48
you roll up could be incorrect on that
12:53
well that's what was that as I was
12:56
saying love you all I could not do this
12:59
without you I could not do this without
13:02
without me am I trying to downgrade
13:04
myself because let's face it I'm the one
13:07
going out there and doing it but if it
13:10
was not for the amazing comments the
13:13
positivity even the constructive
13:15
criticism all that and let's face it
13:18
even those that are sometimes not always
13:21
the most happy and cheerful all that
13:23
adds into this wonderful thing called
13:27
the daily don't forget to pat yourself
13:30
on the back if you have done something
13:32
that maybe other people have not noticed
13:34
or taken for granted and they don't pat
13:40
you on the back pat yourself on the back
13:41
you've earned it
13:43
you went above and beyond what you
13:47
should have done you you've done your
13:50
duty as Justin Scarr would say who by
13:53
the way he did not originate that he
13:56
kind of borrowed it and then just went
13:58
with it it's actually a quote from Sean
14:00
Connery from the movie The Untouchables
14:01
he get it you can ask you can ask Justin
14:03
he did not originate saying that I kind
14:05
of sort of coined the phrase but I I
14:08
slapped a little bit on using it on a
14:11
daily terminology and then he just kind
14:13
of swooped it away from me like a like a
14:15
hawk like like a vulture coming in like
14:18
a Sean Connery vulture pat yourself on
14:21
the back leave some comments down below
