0:47
a little dock over to the woods

1:13
changes or resolutions and I don't know
1:15

1:18
or the 1 so I'll go ahead and knock it
1:21
out now talk about it
1:24
now on the 31st will be 15 years since
1:28
my first video upload on my main Channel
1:30
Channel hard to believe how long ago I
1:32
started this whole YouTube
1:40
thing where's the time
1:40
go really are a lot of people out
1:42
walking around the lake today both Lakes
1:45
people fishing walking enjoying the post
1:50
Christmas Vibes mobile always reminds me
1:53
something that Jak Fus toad would ride
1:56
for Mr Toad's Wild Ride and I must say
1:58
YouTube and my life has been quite the
2:01
wild
2:01
ride this last decade and a
2:04
half really in the last 10
2:08
years I'd say probably the last 10 years
2:10
let's see yeah the last 10 years it's
2:12
really kind of escalated first few years
2:15
I was still working a regular job
2:17
punching a clock and then in August of
2:18
2011 quit my job moved into the van
2:20
started traveling it's been a wild ride
2:23
from now till then or from then till now
2:26
I'm a little confused I'm need some
2:29
coffee when it comes to time and just
2:31
events and things and looking back at
2:34
situations and things over time frames
2:38
over the last decade or so I come to
2:40
realize that in my 40s so I just turned
2:42
50 in August there's a lighthouse up
2:46
here but in my
2:49
40s the entire decade well except maybe
2:51
the first year almost 10 years almost a
2:54
decade nine years give or take a year
2:57
have not been in a committed non-casual
2:59
ual relationship and or dating scenario
3:03
that has been anything of a serious
3:06
nature in almost a decade 9 years early
3:10
2016 that's nine years so nine not quite
3:13
a decade but a year shy of a decade
3:16
obviously I've gone out and I've gone on
3:18
dates and I've been in shortlived type
3:21
of things but nothing that I would ever
3:22
address as hey this is my girlfriend or
3:26
this is someone that's going to lead to
3:28
something way down in the future and I
3:31
met some great people developed a lot of
3:33
great friendships acquaintances out of
3:36
those scenarios but I was just kind of
3:38
thinking when I hit 50 and with the year
3:40
turning I'd like to maybe work on that
3:43
and see if that could possibly change I
3:46
think at 50 years old it's time and I've
3:49
really developed a pretty good Financial
3:52
State to where if I wanted to get into
3:53
something like that and I've kind of got
3:55
the whole the whole creating and
3:58
harnessing building the channel up and
4:01
building my YouTube career up I don't
4:04
need to focus on work quite as much and
4:06
there so there is the possibility that
4:08
something could develop with a little
4:10
more free time into that if it doesn't
4:13
work out if that does not is not the
4:15
thing still tapering back just a little
4:18
bit would be pretty dang nice and not
4:21
kind of stepping away from that type of
4:24
of what I'm looking for I think kind of
4:26
needs to change into my
4:28
50s just kind of talking talking out
4:30
loud but really something I've been
4:31
thinking about very very very very
4:33
recently and wanted to to share that as
4:36
well as well as it's beginning to still
4:40
look a lot like Christmas right here on
4:42
Market Street and all around central
4:44
Florida the theme parks and everything I
4:46
think another week or so week and a half
4:49
I think this comes down a couple days
4:51
after New Year's used to live right here
4:52
on Market Street now I live a little bit
4:54
of a way it's just little cart ride or a
4:56
little walk ride away
5:00
they got the wagon ride out here and the
5:02
horong carriages and everything I think
5:03
are still going on I wonder if I could
5:05
take a boat am I allowed to take a boat
5:07
out on this even just like a little
5:09
inflatable thing or a canoe or anything
5:13
because I believe right over there next
5:14
to the little PVC pole I believe like in
5:18
the water you see like a little inkling
5:20
of something up I think that's Howard
5:21
the Duck I think that's the decoy duck
5:22
that's submerged pop right over there
5:26
fountains
5:27
on got my piping got caffeinated
5:31
beverage this tree over here has been
5:34
uprooted and fallen for a few years now
5:36
I think is far back as I can recall
5:38
you've always been to see the underbelly
5:40
of that tree I think there's another one
5:41
back there that's recently Fallen also
5:43
maybe one of the more recent
5:51
hurricanes as New Year's announcements
5:51
resolutions revolutions things that I
5:54
want to see happen in
5:56
2025 I'm going to stop making promises
5:59
is making crazy promises to myself and
6:03
pushing myself a little bit too hard I
6:05
want to take some days off now this time
6:06
last year at the start of this year a
6:08
few days after New Year's Eve last year
6:10
this year I should say early January of
6:13
this year I said that I was going to
6:15
stop the daily Vlogs here on the daily
6:17
woo and then a few months after that I
6:18
got to thinking when I recently got my
6:20
passport I decided that's probably not
6:21
the best idea because there are
6:23
countries I want to go to and I want to
6:25
document those things and put them
6:26
online I want to have a video diary for
6:28
myself and also
6:30
continue the channel so I kind of went
6:32
back on that little thought process once
6:35
I got my passport last year to go to
6:37
Toronto to go see the Blue Jays play the
6:39
Tampa Bay race and knock off one of my
6:42
30 stadiums it wasn't the last Stadium
6:44
but I had a couple more after that and
6:46
I've done all 30 current MLB stadiums
6:47
rooting for the ray so felt pretty good
6:50
about accomplishing that and once I had
6:52
the passport I thought you know I could
6:53
utilize that start going to countries
6:55
and then I got this hairbrained idea to
6:58
go to a different country every month
7:01
for the ne rest of 2025 and more I
7:04
thought about that just getting back
7:05
from Alani getting back from Alaska I
7:08
think I'm going to hold off on that
7:11
originally I was going to fly out on New
7:13
Year's Eve and I was going to go to
7:14
another country and spend New Year's in
7:16
another country and then I was going to
7:17
be there for 18
7:18
days 19 days but I was going to be there
7:22
on New Year's Eve and I was going to
7:24
stay there for 2/3 of the month before
7:27
coming back home and then you know a
7:28
week or two later leaving again and
7:31
going to another country and I have just
7:32
decided that I am going to relax a
7:36
little not a lot but I'm going to relax
7:38
a little in January I might take a few
7:42
days off I might miss a video here or
7:45
there I didn't miss any videos in
7:48
2024 got a pretty good Street
7:51
going but if I feel like I need to take
7:53
a couple me days then I will and I'm not
7:57
going to leave the country yet until
7:58
February I do have a trip booked in
8:01
February that I will not be postponing
8:03
or
8:05
changing that's locked in but I went
8:08
ahead and canceled my flight for New
8:11
Year's Eve I'm not going to be going to
8:13
the original first country I was going
8:15
to go to I just didn't really feel like
8:17
leaving for 20 days I feel like feel
8:21
like being here is good for the soul I
8:23
need to do more stuff for the
8:30
soul for now and I still might do some
8:30
excursions around this area you know
8:32
within a few hours of here during
8:34
January but the percentage of the time I
8:36
want to be in the central Florida area
8:38
now when it comes to as I was stating
8:40
about like the dating scene and all that
8:43
I just think at half a century old
8:45
myself 50 years old it's time to maybe
8:48
possibly look past the casual dating
8:53
thing and look into something more I'm
8:54
not saying it would be
8:57
immediately you know to have wife and
8:59
kids and you know white picket fence
9:02
even though I do live in celebration I
9:03
don't know if they allow a fence at my
9:05
house but if that opportunity presented
9:08
itself I would be more inclined to
9:11
embrace it at the age of 50 than I was
9:14
at 37 broke quitting my job at the feed
9:17
store living in a van traveling
9:20
around definitely a little a little my
9:23
mindset has
9:24
changed over the years and definitely in
9:27
and recently I've been thinking
9:29
a lot about that and the world travels
9:32
International stuff will still be
9:34
happening starting in
9:36
February and maybe possibly
9:39
happening I mean I'll still you know by
9:42
myself but it'd be nice be kind of nice
9:44
to have someone someone
9:47
along for a few of
9:51
them and if none of that none of that
9:53
really comes my way it comes into my
9:56
life I think I still need to kind of
9:58
take a step
10:01
back from a lot of
10:03
things and really have a have a lot more
10:07
me time have a lot
10:09
more at home time relaxing times not be
10:13
so stressed about making these
10:15
proclamations to myself and to the world
10:17
about I'm going to do this challenge to
10:20
myself I'm really really get harnessed
10:24
and roped into that whole
10:26
thing a lot of way lot of ways it motiv
10:29
moates me but then the problem is when I
10:31
make those statements and I don't do
10:32
them it makes me feel bad and then you
10:36
know people that are hearing that think
10:38
oh he didn't accomplish that a pretty
10:40
good percentage of time I do follow
10:42
through on what I do but there
10:43
definitely some things that I have not
10:47
kind of tired of being single by my own
10:49
design by my own choice most of the time
10:52
it's my own decision to follow the path
10:55
I've been on I really have done really
10:57
well with just being a
11:00
a loner I'm a Loner ddy a
11:04
rebel to use a peeee
11:19
quote and I also need to to
11:19
probably be with someone that's
11:21
localized not something that's a
11:24
distance long distance thing or
11:31
out of
11:31
state something that would be you know
11:34
something that would just work locally
11:36
and then if I choose to leave the
11:38
options there to either go by myself or
11:41
go with that
11:42
person so that definitely is something
11:45
that appeals to me that
11:48
thought also this is not a
11:51
nod or a hint at girlfriend applications
11:55
a a girlfriend application just making a
11:57
statement of what my hopes will be post
12:00
50 and what I would be open to if things
12:04
progress also the reason I've never
12:06
really embraced the whole idea of really
12:08
getting into something serious because I
12:10
know like usually when I do anything I
12:13
go I'm all in with everything I do no
12:15
matter what it is even the smallest
12:17
portion thing I just never really felt
12:19
like I was ready and I feel like
12:21
recently within the last so often I feel
12:24
like I feel like I'm ready mentally
12:28
financially definitely the financial
12:30
thing I mean obviously years ago would
12:31
not have been something I would have
12:33
pertained to to you know be with someone
12:38
that's going to end up progressing into
12:40
something more than that and I don't
12:42
want to obviously do not want to date
12:45
someone again I was talking about the
12:47
casual casual thing if I'm going to be
12:49
with someone I want to be Allin with
12:51
them and I feel like I really was not
12:55
mentally and financially ready to kind
12:58
of pursue anything like that and I feel
13:01
like my mental state is a lot better
13:03
when it comes to relationships now than
13:05
it's ever been probably in my entire
13:07
life to be honest plus when I would
13:08
explain it to anyone that I even
13:11
considered you know maybe maybe go out
13:13
on a few dates this person it might work
13:15
out with this person it's really hard to
13:18
explain to someone what I do for a quote
13:21
unquote job for work for this weird
13:25
career I've made for myself the fact
13:27
that I go a little St crazy and I'm
13:29
adventurous and I want to go travel not
13:32
everyone is on that
13:33
wavelength they are on the wavelength in
13:35
the mind but sometimes they do not have
13:38
the availability to
13:40
travel and you know it's not fair to
13:44
someone to just be like you know what
13:45
let's let's be together and then I'm
13:47
going to hight tail it and go throw a
13:49
bunch of random videos across the US for
13:51
weeks at a time and never see you you
13:53
would not deal with that would you
13:55
squirrel that's part of the reason I
13:56
didn't I never wanted to bring anyone
13:59
into that world but I feel like by
14:02
taking some time off
14:04
and maybe staying home a little
14:10
more feel like there's a possibility
14:10
right squirrel what are you do with some
14:12
calisthenics right there what are you
14:13
stretched out plus because I've been
14:15
doing this so long my life is analyzed a
14:18
little bit more than I wish it would
14:21
be so
14:23
anyone anyone that's with me is going to
14:25
be dissected and
14:27
analyzed to the fullest extent so
14:29
sometimes finding
14:31
someone for those things is a little
14:33
difficult
14:35
because how do you explain that to
14:37
someone that's not used to
14:48
it this a tricky it's a tricky
14:48
slope
14:50
dating well in 2024
14:57
2025 at my
14:57
age after being
15:00
moderately single for 10
15:16
day we'll see what happens all right
15:17
more thoughts
15:18
on resolutions for 25 okay just to
15:21
confirm and reiterate what I was saying
15:24
not stopping the daily videos I've
15:26
already stated
15:27
that into two
15:29
2025 and I'm not going to be going to a
15:32
different country every month but I will
15:34
be going to different countries
15:37
consistently and if I feel like I need
15:39
to take a few days off I will not be
15:42
doing 365 days of Vlogs next year going
15:47
to take some time to
15:49
myself kind of step back just a little
15:51
bit I'll do long series of Vlogs but if
15:54
I need to take a few days off or a week
15:56
off or just you know Reg group maybe
15:59
after travels or after a Ser a good run
16:03
of
16:05
videos then that's the statement that's
16:08
one of my
16:09
2025 resolutions for this Channel and
16:13
for my own well-being and mindset and I
16:15
need to decompress a little bit and
16:18
enjoy life a little bit more now that
16:21
I'm fully 50 I'm knee deep into the
16:24
first year of being a
16:27
50-year-old so that's a statement
16:29
or New Year's Revolution whatever you
16:32
want to call it and when it comes to
16:34
weight loss I'm back and forth to and
16:37
fro not making any massive proclamations
16:40
about that either I'm just going to live
16:43
my life try not to be a glutton try to
16:46
work out a little bit here and there and
16:49
just kind of see where it leads but I'm
16:51
not making any bold rash statements
16:54
about that either shortly after New
16:57
Year's a couple days in I don't upload a
16:59
video for a few days or if I do you know
17:02
and then a week into New Year's I don't
17:04
for a few days don't be alarmed
17:05
everything will be okay keep everyone
17:08
posted through social media platforms I
17:10
have Instagram Adam the woo atw it's
17:12
Adam the woo atw I have a Facebook page
17:15
of daily woo those are the two other
17:16
Outside YouTube sources that I have I
17:19
have nothing else I don't have any of
17:21
the other ones those are the only two
17:24
Instagram Facebook and YouTube is my
17:27
Prime source of any contact
17:29
out there as far as creating content and
17:31
stuff
17:33
but keep everyone in tune into next year
17:36
for some reason I don't upload for a few
17:38
days a couple days or a week or even
17:41
just one
17:42
day don't be
17:45
alarmed which is kind of weird because I
17:47
have not missed a day in a very very
17:49
very long time started in
17:51
2012 and I went all the way through 2017
17:54
I went 5 years I never missed an upload
17:55
day and then I missed a day
17:59
about two weeks after I hit the 5-year
18:01
Plateau I got a tattoo for my
18:05
fiveyear where is it at right there I
18:08
got my 5-year tattoo in Venice Beach
18:11
2017 into of 2017 I took a couple months
18:14
off and then I slowly got back into it
18:16
and I've been going pretty gung-ho since
18:18
if I skip a few in January that's the
18:21
reason why I mean I might not skip any
18:22
but if I do that's the reason still
18:24
haven't decided where I'm going to be on
18:25
New Year's Eve yet it will not be
18:29
in another country other than the US
18:31
originally was going to go elsewhere but
18:33
again I've stayed to that maybe I could
18:35
get some fireworks I I don't even know
18:36
if I'm going to be in town per se just
18:38
but I'll definitely be in the
18:40
US I got a few groceries since I'm not
18:42
going to be leaving the
18:44
country for 20 days coming up I I didn't
18:48
get $20 20 days worth of groceries but I
18:51
got a few to get them through the next
18:52
few or
18:59
more got to enjoy time at home
18:59
got enjoy Florida I mean I bought a
19:01
house for God's sakes raining out oh
19:03
wait it's not raining it's just the
19:04
sprinkler system's on right
19:06
now getting
19:13
doused nice
19:13
sprinklers oh wow look at it I caught up
19:16
with a train over here I mean it's a
19:25
little little bit of a reflection
19:25
there the windshield of mini Marge but
19:30
yeah train is
19:33
out so I guess what I'm trying to say is
19:36
I don't want to go a full
19:38
365 next
19:40
year doing a video every day that's my
19:44
main focal point on changes for next
19:47
year I tailor myself
19:51
around little more sanity and a little
19:54
more
19:59
downtime focusing on friendships
19:59
relationships me time
20:03
Etc staying off the
20:06
sod really got to stay off the S please
20:09
keep off the S I'm going to do that 25
20:12
also now noticing that Savannah Square
20:16
over here put
20:17
some Decor
20:22
up I don't know if I've been by here at
20:25
night when this is all illuminated for
20:26
the Christmas season Christmas is come
20:28
and gone and New Year's will be right
20:30
around the corner oh horer Carriage
20:33
horron Carriage coming through the last
20:38
inkling of Christmas season and a
20:43
electric bike motorcycle bike all right
20:45
back home now definitely been slacking a
20:48
little bit on the workout routine either
20:50
be by traveling or when I'm home it's
20:52
doing pretty good up until August
20:54
September is it kind of started going
20:57
off the rails and then
20:59
Halloween started to rear its head
21:00
Christmas started to rear its
21:02
head pretty par for the course with the
21:05
normality of the habits I have to get
21:08
heavier at the end of the year
21:12
after summer and then I always lose
21:15
weight in the spring into summer it's
21:19
just you know it's just kind of the
21:20
standard with me if I look at photos of
21:23
me from the holidays on I'm always a
21:26
little heavier than I am in the
21:27
springtime until summer I just get
21:30
motivated more around that time and I'd
21:32
like to get back on track with that but
21:34
again no promises there's going to be no
21:37
statement by me to say new year new me
21:40
nothing like that it's the same old me
21:42
just some slight little changes as I
21:45
mentioned taking some days off focusing
21:47
more on
21:49
myself than trying to just stay the
21:51
course with an every single day episode
21:54
and going out every day if I need to
21:55
take a break I will and I had focus
21:59
on not myself but others and
22:03
maybe kindling some sort of some sort of
22:06
future for myself now that I have a
22:08
house and and all that but international
22:11
travel will
22:12
happen but not going to be do in a
22:14
different country every every month but
22:17
it'll still be pretty consistent I might
22:19
skip a month here and there but
22:21
definitely want to do a lot of
22:23
traveling but again no no bold
22:25
statements this this time
22:27
around thanks for for watching I'll see
22:28
you in the next video I do need to take
22:30
my bike out though I need to put some
22:31
air in my tires to take my bike out and
22:34
even the scooter the electric scooter
22:35
haven't taken that out in a while around
22:38
town I'd also at some point like to get
22:42
maybe like a vesa or some sort of
22:45
motorized vehicle that I can take around
22:47
maybe over to the parks to Disney and
22:48

22:51
