OH My God. For some reasons. We just entered, like, the 2 busiest weeks of the year for me, so far.
June as a whole is gonna be really busy, but these two weeks, in particular.
Yesterday, I was over in San Jose at an Apple event conference thing - WWDC -
and I had to do a day trip. I flew to San Jose, in the morning, did the event,
(there will be a vlog from it going up whenever it gets edited together)
then flew back in the afternoon. Then I had to get some videos done, go to the gym
and then I have a wedding that's going to be consuming my schedule the next three days,
and then next week, with E3 going on, and that's going to consume my schedule Monday through Wednesday
with a bunch of stuff I'm doing there. And I’m wanna take a deep breath. I just wanna
work on some videos and stuff. But. The wedding, I gotta go to the wedding,
and then, also, when it comes to E3, I'm like, you know, there are people who are going to be travelling in,
who I don't get to see very regularly, so it's good to participate in events and stuff.
Ahhh, I’m going to have the GT on display at a Microsoft thing.
I figured, you know, I might as well live up to what Ford was hoping for when they gave me an allocation
which is to put the car out there and get it seen and participate in things with it, so thats going on.
Then there’s also I’m recording some early access on games. Ho Boy.
Just. Argh I kinda want things slow down, but after I think they will
But then there’s VidCon, which I-I’m only do a day at VidCon,
Which is what I usually do, so that shouldn’t be like too schedule intensive.
And then I think. Things relaxed and are O.K. and kinda calm down for a little while.
I’ve not really got anything planned in July so that makes me happy a little bit
and I can just kind of chill, make videos and I'm happy to be making videos right now.
I feel like I'm actually in a really good spot, you know, there was all that uncertainty
I feel like I made the first video back in February.
If I recall correctly about trying to figure out the approach for things.
I think I've kin-finally figured out the approach for things.
And I'm happy with it
and it seems like for the most part, people are happy with where things are on the this channel,
CaptainSparklez2, vlog Channel, etc.
And so, I'm feeling kind of reassured in a sense because of that
So, I also have another kind of secret in the works project that YouTube related
and, uhm, so that's happening in the meantime.
I don't want to make any announcements until something actually happens
because you know I've learned in the past. It's better to wait until you actually
have the thing before you announce what the thing is because god forbids
anything goes wrong than people at this point like what happened to that thing
you were talking about so well wait on that. But- but I'm trying something
and we'll see if it happens. If it doesn't then...
It probably will. It'll at least we'll take a crack at it and then we'll see
what the result is. UHmm, but anyway
just all that to say happy with where things are at,
at the moment and you know for the people who are like
"Yo where's the Minecraft been for a while?"
There's now a lot of Minecraft happening
It's on CaptainSparklez2 but it's -- it's a lot of hours
of Minecraft. So I feel like I'm ... ... you know appealing to the people who were
lacking that recently.
And I'm happy with just the playing and not being too stressed.
Just playing uncut for a gaming session like I'm playing a video game
rather than having to think too much about.
Okay, what's the structure here what do I need to accomplish.
It's just like nah. Let's just play and it's sort of
goal -oriented with like the "Sev-Tec" and then "The Deep-End"
just chill with like a lot of people on the server and then Trials
is going up casually it's like. I'm happy.
I'm happy with what it is-is going on.
And summer is approaching, and hopefully you guys
are gonna be having a good summer vacation.
And... Ah-er I don't actually
when do most people get out of school?
I know universities are out of school,
but I feel like every year that I was in school
from like elementary to middle to high school just seemed like
every year we'd get out a little bit later than the year before,
and every year we'd go back to school in August.
I'll let it started in September and then it moved into August
And then it just got a little bit earlier, earlier
and summer break just sorta
started getting sandwiched
shorter and shorter, and short-and I
hope that's kinda stopped for most people, but I-I don't
know, and then there would be no make-up for it
It wouldn't be like oh you get longer winter break
or oh you get longer Spring Break,
Spring Break then got reduced from two weeks to one week,
while summer vacation? I don't know what happened.
Were they adding more school days in?
Or was it just some sort of Voodoo witchery
that I thought things are changing but they weren't . Never really figure that out
but thankfully I'm not in school anymore.
And I don't really miss it so... ...
but hey stay in school.
I always encourage it I made sure to get good grades
through high school until they started slipping in University,
but Don't DO as I did, do as I SAY.
Which is keep yourselves motivated
but enjoy your summer vacation.
And hopefully you're gonna do some fun stuff.
Maybe travel somewhere but if you're traveling,
just make sure you're going someplace with internet
so you can keep watching my videos.
cuz let's be honest that's really what's the most important thing here.
So you know just make sure
you're always watching them and stuff like that.
Also just wanted to, I wanted to give a quick reminder,
shameless self-promotion about monetizing the Hat.
About making the monetize monetized again by monetizing by selling the hats.
If it's a thing that is of interest to you
and you haven't seen me wearing it. And you somehow
ignored the red thing on my head for like the past two weeks
of my wearing it. You can still get one.
And it's linked in the description.
It is some high-quality embroidery
and also 10% of the proceeds do go to
GameChanger charity, so It's for a good cause as well.
which you might be interested to know.
So we're not only monetizing the hat
but we're also monetizing charity for it.
So, uhm, in any case. Yeah what else is on the agenda.
Other than I went over the fact that I'm busy,
and then I-I went over the fact
that I'm happy with where things are at, channel wise
so that's most of it. Now I'm gonna start spitballing.
Which is that the wedding I'm going to is the
first wedding I have ever been to for a while, saying.
It's my cousin's wedding
first same generation family member wedding
that I've ever gone to and it's kind of weird
because it makes me feel like I'm getting old.
And also my dad was like hey
so we don't have an official videographer for the wedding
so if you want to bring your camera and film stuff.
I'm like, that's high pressure, I'm gonna
be responsible for documenting one of the
most significant days in my cousin's life.
No pressure at all. Yeah!?
I'm not gonna make a vlog,
I'm not gonna vlog the thing
but I'm-it's gonna.
Ya, I guess I'm gonna try to figure out
how to best execute this cause, vlogs
like you're used to making them
it's all about me which sounds
narcissistic but that really is what it is.
I'm pointing a camera at myself and so in this,
I have to figure out I don't know,
do I just walk around I get a lot of b-roll.
I suppose and then.
Maybe I? At the reception
I go around and just interview people
and then but I don't talk too much.
I just, when it's getting all put together
after the fact just cut out what I said
and just stick to what the other people are saying.
I don't know how to do this, I've never filmed a wedding.
I'm not an official wedding photographer, videographer,
anything like that but we'll see.
I'm just gonna try to make sure that my exposure
is set up properly because that's an issue
that I have always had in the past.
Uhm, So I'm gonna do my best to not fail
and film the whole thing and go back and see,
oh wow that footage didn't turn out to be usable at all.
Cause this is higher stakes than a YouTube video for me,
this is like you can't repeat this
you can't retake this. This is
ahh ha... really nervous actually
It's like the most high-stakes thing I've ever
been asked to film. Uh-huh, well.
Wish me luck, everybody. Cause uh.
Yep no pressure at all.
Anyway as I was saying first similar aged family member
and it was only like a couple months back
that I went to the first wedding of someone,
who's like similar age group is me, period.
So it's like we're hitting that time
in people's lives
where it's like the marriages are starting
and the kids are gonna come.
Meanwhile I'll just be over here being like.
Staying out on my own.
Just chilling, uhh... I mean no kids ever.
At least so I know that much but it's-
it's interesting and it really makes you think
that things are aging up and especially that
this is the weirdest one for me.
That in three years,
I will be the same age that my dad was
when I was born. And
that's just like.
I don't know what it is about the one in particular
but that one makes me think like alright
it's-it's too much.
We got to stop this!
Can we just freeze time a little bit and sleep?
I can't.
It's not okay for me to be as old
and then older than my dad was when I was born.
That's not, mm-hmm it's not okay anymore.
We've gone too far right.
Bring things back a little bit,
cause ah... no.
No thanks that's weird.
That's too that's so weird.
Alright sorry, I'm having a moment
thinking about that.
Anyway, also my family in terms of people
who are like my age not very many of them.
There are pretty much three cousins
and that's it.
So there are three other people,
who uh,
whose weddings I could potentially attend in
the next. However many years,
or Never I-I don't know for that matter.
It's all up in the air but it's not very much,
it's not very big when I would go to family gatherings.
There aren't very many people my age
and not really many younger.
The few younger than me it's interesting though
not much reproduction happens in-in my family at all.
It's very small and I'm not gonna help that cause.
So yep.
The last of my name.
Anyway all right, sorry going on like existential crisis
mode right here but that's-
-that's the tangent that I figured I'd take after I
covered the stuff that I was meaning to cover.
I was like alright what should I talk about now?
Cause that seemed like just not enough interesting stuff.
So here we are thanks for watching.
Thanks for sticking around,
as I go through the uhm technical changes here.
And I do want to mention for any of you,
who have been like alright it's a little bit too heavy
on the Reddit reaction and stuff.
I'm trying to ponder different sorts of formats
and things and-and stuff, so I'm doing my best.
I just I haven't settled on-on anything quite yet,
but I do want to try to find different formats
and series or whether it be one offs
and things like that. So the gears are always turning
and I-I'm gonna do my best.
So anyway. Thanks so much for watching!
Hope you've enjoyed, hope you've been informed. Hope you're looking forward
to summer break unless you're out of school
and working in which case that doesn't really exist.
Ahh, but I guess I'll catch you guys later

Have a good one.
