0:04
june 18th
0:06
2021 starting off the piping hot
0:09
caffeinated beverage that i have
0:10
procured from the
0:12
coffee stand on market street
0:14
celebration
0:15
now usually i will walk around this lake
0:18
which is the main lake right off of
0:20
downtown celebration change it up a
0:22
little bit today for this
0:23
walk and talk and head as i'm inviting
0:27
you to join me
0:28
as we go a different route down
0:32
that way to another lake
0:35
and i want to discuss it's been 24 hours
0:39
since i had to poke give or take i think
0:42
it's been like 23 hours i want to give
0:44
you
0:45
some views on side effects for the first
0:48
dose
0:49
and thoughts and also mention
0:52
something else i'm going to announce
0:54
gonna take a step back
0:56
from certain things you made my day we
0:59
watched you
1:00
oh excellent walking along this platform
1:04
do not feed the squirrels i believe i
1:07
said it but maybe i didn't join me
1:09
shall you in this discussion on how i'm
1:12
feeling after 23
1:13
almost 24 hours after yesterday
1:17
shall you i think i may have shouted you
1:19
a little too many times
1:24
down in here is a little bit of standing
1:24
water good thing this little
1:27
bridge is here who would not be able to
1:28
walk over this without getting
1:30
knee-deep in the water down there
1:34
there probably are some snakes and
1:35
gators you know i think this
1:37
is technically a stream look
1:41
yeah it's moving it's a stream that goes
1:43
underneath this
1:45
i thought that was a gator for a minute
1:46
but it's just a log
1:52
i'm going to be taking a step back from
1:52
social media i'm pretty
1:53
non-existent on there already i'm gonna
1:56
go fully
1:58
well not fully let's say 99
2:01
inactive on social media
2:04
you know the distancing the social
2:07
when it comes to keeping distances
2:14
is a very used or maybe even overused
2:14
word
2:15
in the last year and a half kind of
2:18
apply that to
2:20
social media platforms you know with the
2:22
exception
2:23
of the obvious one the exception of the
2:26
obvious being
2:27
youtube which is my career
2:31
in a weird way job
2:34
have to be active on there i'm not going
2:36
to disable comments
2:37
so we're going to reply to a few
2:38
comments each day once the video is
2:41
uploaded
2:41
so they're going to interact with
2:43
viewers
2:45
and so forth and so on here on youtube
2:48
until that day
2:50
comes to fruition when i end completely
2:52
and drop off the internet
2:53
for good or at least a pretty much
2:57
significant amount to be considered for
3:00
good which that day
3:01
will happen whether it be in a couple of
3:04
years five years ten years whatever it
3:05
is
3:05
or maybe even next week knowing me
3:08
pretty pretty impulsive but
3:09
i'm not seeing that happening anytime
3:11
soon so for now this will be my only
3:15
social media platform because you know
3:17
i'm interacting
3:19
with everyone in the comments and
3:21
putting videos
3:22
up onto the up into the world to see
3:26
but everything else is going to go away
3:29
for a little while
3:31
a little while something is moving down
3:33
there in the water
3:34
i see some ripple effects next to the
3:37
lily pads it could be a frog
3:40
okay more on more on that subject in a
3:43
moment
3:44
let's talk about how i'm feeling after
3:46
the after the one day
3:48
of getting it yesterday i feel pretty
3:50
good my arm is very sore
3:52
specifically in the spot where the
3:55
injection
3:56
took place very very sore but i've been
3:58
kind of doing the
4:00
circling my arm around quite a bit which
4:03
has helped
4:04
so basically it was over in this
4:07
shoulder
4:08
i've been kind of doing this quite a bit
4:11
didn't realize i always lay on this side
4:12
while i'm slumbering
4:14
and then when i got up i was like ooh
4:15
something happened there ooh
4:18
but other than that you know you can
4:19
definitely tell something is in my
4:20
system something feels a little
4:22
different but that was really up until
4:25
like it was yesterday around noon when i
4:26
got it
4:27
later last night is when i felt the most
4:29
of it now i feel pretty dang good i feel
4:31
okay
4:32
i feel as if nothing really happened
4:35
with the exception of
4:37
you know the injection in this arm
4:41
so that's oh yeah there's an alligator
4:42
over there there's an alligator
4:45
right there see it yep
4:48
that is an alligator right here in the
4:51
second
4:52
pond not the one up i guess this is a
4:55
pond
4:57
okay where did the alligator go there it
4:59
is right there in the center of the
5:00
screen
5:01
almost lost the gator for a minute
5:03
pretty sure it's a gator not a crocodile
5:09
and that bridge that i walked across is
5:09
right over there to the main lake
5:12
which dumps out onto market street so
5:14
this is a smaller lake
5:15
or pond i guess you could say hello
5:19
gator
5:21
just casually just kind of lounging in
5:25
the water there
5:27
as all the walkers go by you can see
5:31
pay no attention to this gator there was
5:34
another thing too it wasn't just the arm
5:35
and it wasn't just kind of the weird
5:36
feelings i had for probably the first
5:38
eight hours afterwards i kind of felt
5:41
like i was going to get a leg cramp
5:44
for a moment i took a shower last night
5:46
and i thought oh wow
5:47
i didn't get a leg cramp but i kind of
5:49
felt like
5:51
could it's a it almost felt like i was
5:52
going to get a leg cramp and then about
5:54
an hour later it went away
5:56
that might have been had something to do
5:57
with it as well
6:06
i think there's something up in this
6:06
tree as well
6:14
oh this must be lake evelyn
6:14
okay yeah lake evelyn this is lake
6:16
evelyn drive
6:31
and rosa street those are the crossroads
6:31
so that's pretty much it i feel pretty
6:32
good about
6:34
the decision obviously it's a it's a
6:36
heated discussion
6:38
i see both sides and as stated yesterday
6:42
everyone should make their own decisions
6:44
i will be the first to tell you i am
6:45
very
6:46
very opinionated very stubborn very set
6:50
in my ways
6:51
very i know how to look that i want to
6:54
live my life
6:56
and the decisions i made and as stubborn
6:58
and
7:04
dedicated to my thoughts as they are
7:04
i don't really release those out there i
7:07
keep
7:07
everything kind of well you know besides
7:09
kind of some little walking and talking
7:11
but i don't go overboard with posting
7:13
about things
7:14
in fact i when was it
7:18
probably six or seven years ago i made a
7:20
video similar to this when i lived
7:23
in orange county california which i have
7:26
moved back there but i used to live
7:27
closer
7:28
really close proximity to the orange
7:31
circle
7:32
i'm a little bit of a distance away from
7:34
there where i can't just
7:35
get up and walk there in two seconds it
7:37
takes me a little more of a
7:39
a stroll back when i was there before i
7:42
came up with this conclusion
7:44
does having twitter instagram
7:47
facebook and i think back then there was
7:50
vine now that i think there's tic toc
7:52
which i'm not familiar with
7:53
does that even help promote what i am
7:55
doing on youtube
7:56
and i came to the conclusion that no it
7:58
does not
8:00
so i deleted my twitter i deleted
8:04
my instagram and then i brought the
8:05
instagram back about a year
8:07
and a half ago maybe two years ago i
8:10
brought back my instagram page let me
8:11
try to switch this around but now i'm on
8:13
the fence again with
8:14
taking that back as a squirrel to how it
8:18
was
8:19
hello squirrel
8:49
let me start are you so getting
8:49
distracted
8:55
so back then i had the thought does this
8:55
really help promote
8:56
does me posting a link on something
8:59
really help promote the videos i don't
9:01
know if it does i don't know if it
9:02
doesn't if i don't even care if it does
9:04
or it doesn't
9:06
so i kind of abolished all that
9:09
and then i got kind of got tired of not
9:11
having an outside source other than
9:13
youtube
9:14
to contact people have people contact me
9:17
and i'm at the point now i want to take
9:19
a break from the current instagram
9:21
account that i have i'm not going to
9:23
create another twitter account
9:25
i'm not into that at all mostly because
9:29
i just like doing my own thing i don't
9:32
really like being affected
9:34
by what is going on too much i don't say
9:37
it in the world because you have to keep
9:38
up
9:39
on semi-regular events but i'm not i
9:42
don't want to be too affected by
9:44
the world's opinion because the world's
9:45
opinion
9:47
is always going to be different than
9:50
yours
9:51
or you're going to side with the one
9:54
side
9:55
of that opinion and then never look back
9:58
and i kind of feel that
10:00
i'd like to have my own
10:04
my own kind of mindset
10:07
if that makes any sense it probably
10:09
doesn't there are mosquitoes
10:11
on me right now it is hot but above and
10:13
beyond all that
10:15
a lot of it is time a lot of it is
10:16
stress
10:22
there might be another animal without in
10:22
here
10:27
i kind of long for the day when i'm not
10:28
on the internet
10:29
can't do that now but i long for that
10:31
day when i'm a mystery
10:47
which is strange because i'm not i'm
10:48
kind of reserved i do talk a lot
10:51
i'm kind of shy
10:57
it's weird what i do for a living when i
10:57
was younger
10:58
you know you always have aspirations of
11:00
oh
11:02
what's in that tree everyone has that
11:05
slight aspiration of how to be famous
11:08
famous fame i don't really care about
11:11
that at all anymore
11:12
not that i ever really did but
11:15
definitely do not care
11:16
about being known being seen
11:20
i want to make a living i want to put
11:22
videos out i want to create stuff
11:26
you know doing the daily videos helps me
11:29
helps my my mental
11:32
well-being staying active and
11:36
when i don't do this down the road i
11:38
will do something else
11:40
that keeps me active right now being
11:42
active is
11:43
filming videos and editing and uploading
11:46
all that is what it keeps
11:48
keeps my mental state happy that's
11:50
really the major thing on why i do this
11:53
and you know some creative projects but
11:56
the majority is
11:57
it's a routine that keeps my my brain
12:00
active
12:01
my mind going my body going and things
12:03
like that
12:05
i don't really care about about fame
12:08
being famous getting to another level
12:11
and where i'm at now
12:13
this is fine in fact even if it tapered
12:15
back a little bit i would be content
12:17
with that
12:18
and as far as you know instagram posting
12:21
stuff
12:22
make doing all that i could really care
12:25
less at this point
12:27
now i'm not going to completely delete
12:29
my instagram the reason for that if i
12:31
delete it someone else will grab this
12:33
the name
12:35
and utilize that and there might come a
12:38
time when
12:40
i don't do this here on youtube and it
12:42
would be nice to have an outside
12:44
source platform so i'm going to keep it
12:46
i'm not going to post any more pictures
12:48
no instagram stories things like that in
12:51
fact i'm going to delete
12:52
the app from my phone
12:55
right now and that will actually clear
12:57
up a lot of time to devote
13:00
to well-being peacefulness
13:03
relaxation and research for other
13:06
projects
13:06
you know it's great having communication
13:09
with people
13:11
in real life but the internet
13:14
and that's a doozy
13:20
i can't be alone in my thinking
13:26
as the recording of this is june 18th as
13:26
i stated
13:27
i've already been on my phone for three
13:29
hours and 43 minutes it's 12
13:36
p.m 11 just after noon now granted i
13:36
also have to
13:37
put a little asterisk next to that
13:38
because i do edit on my phone and upload
13:40
on my phone even though i did that last
13:41
night
13:42
although i uploaded the video this
13:43
morning early this morning
13:45
so some of that is answering and
13:48
replying to comments on the youtube
13:50
video
13:51
as well but if you notice let's go back
13:54
to
13:55
a different day here look at wednesday
13:59
june the 16th a couple days ago i was on
14:02
my phone
14:03
for 13 hours 3 hours and 59 minutes of
14:06
it
14:07
was creativity which means editing
14:11
uploading and those but look at social
14:15
three hours and 30 minutes three hours
14:18
i spent on my facebook app
14:28
and i guess that would probably be the
14:28
instagram app and i don't even follow
14:31
anyone on instagram
14:33
that's just going on browsing through
14:36
dms
14:37
that i really rarely reply to
14:45
looking at profiles you know i will go
14:45
to my friend's profiles and whatnot
14:48
or suggestions if some things will be
14:50
suggested
14:52
you know like when you're on social
14:53
media you'll have suggestions which like
14:55
you'll get down a rabbit hole
14:57
where you're just like looking at
14:58
suggestions and that ends up
15:01
ends up taking up a lot of time i've
15:02
already spent one hour
15:04
i've already spent 34 minutes today so
15:06
i've only been on here 34 minutes today
15:08
and that's going to be the only amount
15:10
of minutes that i'm going to be on this
15:11
for today
15:13
now granted the the creativity part will
15:15
still continue because i do edit on my
15:16
phone upload on my phone and all that so
15:19
that will remain but i'm going to i'm
15:20
going to start giving myself a little
15:22
more time each day
15:23
as of this very moment uh have six posts
15:27
on my ig i have five fifty one thousand
15:32
and a half followers following zero
15:36
which has stated that doesn't
15:38
necessarily matter once i'm on here you
15:40
get suggestions you see people that
15:42
you are friends with family with and
15:43
those will pop up in the suggestions as
15:46
well so you then you go to their profile
15:47
comment on their pictures it's really
15:49
following zero
15:51
you know you still have you have you
15:52
just not you just don't have a news feed
15:59
still i mean it still still takes up
15:59
some time and then i also have
16:02
this little section on my iphone
16:04
instagram facebook business suite and
16:06
then facebook
16:07
i'm gonna i'm gonna get rid of all three
16:09

16:26

17:10
done oh goodness hello there look at
17:13
this
17:15
look at this turtle or tortoise turtle
17:17
or tortoise
17:32
look at that there you go shell turtle
17:32
right there
17:38
they're next they extend really far look
17:38
at that
17:54
heading over to the water you're heading
17:54
over to the water huh
18:19
yep i understand turtle sometimes you
18:19
just need to get back to your element
18:22
gotta go to where where it's peaceful
18:25
and enjoyable
18:28
feels good doesn't it
18:37
you're gonna have to crawl back out and
18:37
go around the
18:39
little little gate there you should have
18:41
gone over there
18:42
maybe you wanted to have your own little
18:45
little pool area
18:47
that's pretty neat seeing that turtle
18:49
gentleman that walked by said it was a
18:50
soft shell turtle
18:52
pretty cool this really is a test of
18:54
sorts
18:55
just to see how long and see how my
18:58
mindset is
18:59
with having a little more free time
19:01
during the day focusing on other things
19:04
a little peace of mind might you know
19:07
within a month might all go back to how
19:10
it has been
19:11
just gonna see how it goes something i
19:13
needed to do for myself
19:14
thinking about doing it for a long time
19:18
not concerned so much with posting
19:21
incredi a lot on there and a lot of time
19:25
content you call content creators which
19:28
i don't really use that term for myself
19:30
but making videos
19:32
will utilize social media platforms to
19:35
get certain things
19:37
which i don't i don't do any of that i'm
19:39
not sponsored
19:41
i don't get any kind of freebies any
19:43
sort of any sort of stays any sort of
19:46
items like that or any kind of kickbacks
19:50
based on what i post on social media so
19:51
for me it's not vital for me to have
19:54
that even
19:54
over 50 000 people
19:57
on instagram probably could utilize that
19:59
but it's just not my thing
20:01
so really makes no difference whether
20:03
it's there or not
20:05
but it might come back i might miss it i
20:07
might
20:08
this is a work in progress a test to see
20:11
if my
20:12
mindset my well-being
20:15
helps a little bit maybe it will
20:21
still continuing the videos no plans on
20:24
stopping that anytime soon
20:26
one day it will who knows with me
20:30
what i'm gonna do i am all over the
20:32
place i am
20:34
i'm all over the place i can i can
20:39
i can accept that i can stop that's my
20:41
my lot in life

22:40
the day where

i don't even have my phone on me just
22:43

22:45
maybe even go places without my phone

even going to the parks i like going to
23:01
the theme parks if i'm not filming an
23:04
episode
23:06
just go to the park without my phone
23:10
or go to disney or anywhere
23:13
experience it with my own eyes not
23:16
looking through a phone or a camera
23:17
or distracted so i might do that at some
23:21
point and just have certain times of the
23:23
day
23:24
when i go on my phone and see if i've
23:26
gotten any calls texts
23:28
communication things like that to check
23:31
comment section on youtube to edit
23:34
but take breaks from that too i think
23:37
all that is part of a good
23:39
a good mindset and a good well-being for
23:40
me anyway it's not for everyone
23:42
i'm kind of glued to my phone and i want
23:44
to separate myself from my phone
23:46
a little more than i have but okay i'm
23:48
done talking
