 What's up guys? Something a little bit different today. I thought I would just talk to you and let you know what's been going on, where I've been, and a few of the things that are coming up. Right now I am headed to Dick's Sporting Goods because about a week ago I sprained my wrist. I think it's a wrist sprain and I'm looking for some gloves, lifting gloves that might have a little support so I can keep going to the gym and not hurt my wrist anymore. Jeez, there's a lot of traffic for noon. So I have actually been away for the past month. I was traveling and it was super busy and if you follow on Instagram you probably noticed that I was not posting to Instagram all that much and it wasn't self-imposed or anything. I was just super busy and didn't really have all the time for it. And to be honest that little break from Instagram was kind of nice. I don't know, for me Instagram is kind of like I have a love-hate relationship with it. I mean it's great to connect with people and share what's going on and some of my favorite things and everything but I think it has that like positive power but it also has a very negative power. I think it can make people very envious and it's not always such a good thing. So I definitely in the past have spent way too much time on Instagram and this past month where I honestly wasn't looking at it all that much at all. It was very cleansing and I mean it was just really nice for from my own mental state like not having to think about what I had to post and how many posts I was gonna do and you know just there's there's an element of in any kind of social media or whether it's a blog or even YouTube where you kind of constantly have to feed the beast and it can even make it to it can even get to a point where it's not fun anymore and that's not a good thing. This should all be a lot of fun and taking a little time away from it was definitely refreshing and I think when I come back to it you know which I will for sure it will definitely be a lot more fun for me at that point. But you know I have there's also another part of Instagram that I really that really bothers me and that is I mean you guys probably know like it's not real I mean it is but it isn't a lot of times like what you see is just like the best most curated part of someone's life and I mean that's really like the biggest thing that can contribute to it being like a negative thing that turns into you know just being envious and stuff like that but but one of the I mean you've seen recently that really been focusing more on doing videos and YouTube and for me like that is like the ultimate sort of like what you see is what you get you know there's no there's nothing you can do to make a video different than than who you really are like this is how I really talk if you are sitting next to me this is what we'd be talking about and you know you can't Photoshop a video things like that so for me I like it because it's a really honest and real way to connect with you guys and that's that's what it's all about for me and I prefer it to be you know less BS and more traffic here for some reason so that's kind of been the past month a little break from Instagram kind of a break from from social media other than other than the videos but let's see what do we have coming up here so I guess I guess the soonest thing is this weekend Robin I'm gonna be shooting some more videos for the YouTube channel have lots of great ideas especially the holidays coming up lots of cool things to talk about and outfit video inspiration stuff like that so that's coming up let's see next no not next Friday on the 29th I'm doing a thing up in New York City it's a dinner and it's with watches of Switzerland a lot of different watch brands and so I'm going out for a dinner I'm not sure I'm sure I'll see a lot of the folks that I know but I do know that the CEOs of tech Philippe Rolex are going to be there so that's gonna be really cool that night I actually have to come back to Baltimore because the following morning I am doing a video shoot with Crown and Caliber we've been working with them a lot I'm excited because I haven't actually met them in person though we've been working with them a lot recently they're coming over to the house to shoot one of their watch stories with me I'm basically just gonna be sitting down talking about my collection how I got into watches going through each individual watch I know you a lot of you guys have been wanting to see a watch collection video and I will definitely be doing one myself on my own channel but it's gonna be cool to have the whole crew from Crown and Caliber there going through that so once that is finished I have to fly out that afternoon to Las Vegas for another watches of Switzerland event I was really kind of on the fence about whether to go to Vegas or not as I have just been traveling a lot and all that but the one thing that really sort of tipped the scale for me into wanting to go is that they're on display there will be the I'm gonna say this completely wrong I don't have a good accent but the Beauvais recital 22 grand recital watch is going to be there they're only 60 in the entire world and they're going to have number one there and this watch is pretty famous you should Google it if you if you don't know what this watch is but it just won like the top prize and what is basically the the Academy Awards of watchmaking and it is something to behold it's seriously Google it right now if you haven't already and check it out I mean there's it's it's an astronomical complication so it's it's completely those always completely below my mind they I just think that's so amazing that someone that you can mechanically manufacture the movement of the earth and the moon but this anyway this this watch has the globe and there's loom applied to the continent so when it's viewed when it's charged and viewed in no light it's it's pretty amazing so but anyway around the globe the moon rotates and there's all this other stuff there's that there's a calendar on the back on the caseback it's it's a fantastic watch and the the what am I trying to say here the chance to see it in the metal is really too much to pass up so I'm really really looking forward to seeing that in Las Vegas so that'll be a quick trip on fly out on Friday maybe late afternoon early evening I'll get into Vegas and had the whole day there on Saturday and Sunday is free time so Robin will be coming with me maybe we'll get to do a couple fun things other than look at watches which you know it's fun for me but maybe not as much let's see that's sort of what's been happening and what's been going on you know what's coming up in the near future so yeah just a quick little check-in with you guys and let me know if you like this kind of video it's very easy to do just put the camera up in the car you can have a little commute together every now and then if you're into it so let me know what you think and of course subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and I'll see you guys next time as I change lanes come on
