[0:00]good morning
[0:01]everyone I'm on a hike this morning I
[0:05]wouldn't call this a hiking video though
[0:06]I just want to update you on my
[0:08]life uh it's been a couple of days I
[0:12]think yeah even what day this is
[0:16]now and I just
[0:19]thought kind of
[0:22]explain so I mean from my last videos
[0:25]you know that I'm trying to get back
[0:26]into gaming and starting a gaming
[0:28]channel and I've been doing that I'm
[0:30]playing a lot of Minecraft and watching
[0:31]Minecraft videos
[0:33]and um I posted my first Minecraft video
[0:37]myself got like 10 views which you know
[0:41]um I actually thought that as a new
[0:42]channel maybe it would maybe the
[0:45]algorithm gave it a chance or something
[0:46]I don't think it works that way but I
[0:47]thought that's what happened on this one
[0:49]so I guess I just got
[0:52]lucky um but that's okay so the reason
[0:55]I'm out here is I want to record a video
[1:00]introducing that
[1:02]channel so I actually wrote a script
[1:06]thing I never do right
[1:09]and I'm just going to do my best and see
[1:12]how it
[1:12]goes when I get back I'll have to edit
[1:15]it a little differently than I do these
[1:16]ones cuz I do these ones on my phone
[1:18]it's a lot
[1:20]easier uh that first Minecraft video I
[1:22]made that was it was really fun to edit
[1:26]except I
[1:27]had in the first 15 seconds when I added
[1:30]some text to the screen it made all the
[1:32]audio go away and I could not figure out
[1:33]why I spent hours trying to fix that 15
[1:36]seconds of video I couldn't fix it hours
[1:39]of
[1:40]trying
[1:41]so I hope today goes better I feel like
[1:44]it was a bug or something
[1:46]because I'm convinced that it was
[1:48]thinking there was an audio track that
[1:50]was not there I
[1:53]just that's I don't know that's how
[1:55]that's how it looked to
[1:57]me so anyways
[2:02]um I haven't been recording so much
[2:06]because I have been struggling a little
[2:08]bit with
[2:11]self-doubt um and being so vulnerable
[2:13]and open to with you
[2:15]guys I
[2:16]mean I'm amazed I did it for this song
[2:20]honestly it's not normal for me I keep
[2:23]my thoughts to myself I know I've said
[2:26]that um I don't think people really
[2:28]understand me I just don't
[2:31]and it's not their fault you know I
[2:33]don't think of it that way it's
[2:36]just uh I don't think that I have ever
[2:38]been very good at
[2:40]communicating my true
[2:43]thoughts I know I share a lot and it
[2:45]seems like well how can that be well
[2:48]because there are many layers to my
[2:50]thoughts and they don't all come out in
[2:51]a video like when I'm talking to you
[2:54]there's stuff that underlays it all and
[2:56]it just I have never learned how
[3:00]to express that part you know but I'm
[3:03]going to keep trying because maybe I
[3:06]maybe one day by doing
[3:08]this I'll learn to do that better so
[3:13]I'll keep
[3:14]trying um I probably won't post this
[3:16]much cuz I
[3:18]am I'm here's here's the reality for me
[3:22]okay I
[3:24]have and it's scaring the out of me
[3:26]I'm not going to lie I have maybe two
[3:29]months before I run out of
[3:31]money I'll try to stretch it
[3:33]longer I'll sit down make a budget cut
[3:37]anything that I can you know I'll live
[3:40]as frugally as a person
[3:43]can but I I don't right now know how to
[3:47]extend that and my client he does owe me
[3:51]money and I know that he intends to pay
[3:53]it but it's
[3:55]been well since January you know so
[3:59]I just don't know if I'm ever going I'm
[4:02]sure I will someday cuz he's super
[4:04]honest awesome person but I don't know
[4:06]that I'll see it when I need it I guess
[4:08]this the way to put
[4:11]that and I don't really want to return
[4:14]to programming certainly not
[4:16]fulltime maybe I get back into
[4:18]freelancing but I haven't done it in a
[4:20]very long time it's been over 10 years I
[4:22]have my profiles are are
[4:25]ancient there will be a lot of work
[4:27]involved in that I'll have to create a
[4:30]website my profile
[4:33]like document the projects I've done
[4:35]what I've done in them all of that a lot
[4:37]of work
[4:40]and then hope to hope to find some
[4:43]clients I guess but it's not what my
[4:46]heart's calling me to do my heart
[4:48]doesn't want to do that it's one of the
[4:50]reasons that I'm out
[4:52]here and I think what I might want to
[4:56]do honestly and guess it's kind of
[4:59]surprising
[5:01]um I just want to be a gamer on
[5:04]YouTube I'm not super comfortable with
[5:06]the you know calling myself a a YouTuber
[5:09]but I guess that's what I'm trying to do
[5:13]now you know I can't do twitch I can't
[5:15]stream my internet's not reliable enough
[5:17]but I can make videos of me gaming and
[5:19]try
[5:21]to um try to turn that into a profession
[5:24]somehow I hope I mean all you can do is
[5:29]if if you have a
[5:31]dream pursue it with your full self
[5:33]that's what I've always done in my life
[5:36]risk
[5:37]everything you know I guess I never did
[5:39]tell you
[5:41]guys um cuz I think that actually
[5:44]works so back when I
[5:48]was got so young like 18 19 20 I wrote
[5:52]the very first content management system
[5:54]ever created on Earth it's called en
[5:56]wizard Matrix
[5:58]server um it's not like just don't want
[6:01]to get bogged down in technical details
[6:03]but mine was the first and I did it
[6:06]because it would help my
[6:07]clients and if you're wondering what
[6:09]that is just think of
[6:11]Wordpress if I and it was open source it
[6:14]was free people could download it
[6:16]freely I was very proud of that project
[6:19]and I did it on a little computer that I
[6:22]built myself from spare
[6:25]parts I was practically homeless I was
[6:28]actually living in this little trailer
[6:30]with my brother and we were not getting
[6:32]along my parent it was my parents
[6:34]trailer and they left they went to
[6:35]Florida left the two of us
[6:38]there
[6:40]and that led to other opportunities I
[6:44]didn't keep pursuing that project um I
[6:46]kind of wish I had because I that was a
[6:48]lot of fun it was awesome there's still
[6:50]nothing like
[6:51]it
[6:55]um you know but it led to other
[6:57]opportunities and
[7:00]it's all you can do you got to pursue
[7:01]your dreams and that's what I'm doing
[7:04]today pursue yours too okay I mean that
