 Let's chat about the vlog. All right, we're still at this undisclosed location celebrating True Love's birthday, happy birthday True Love. I thought it would be a good opportunity as we rest here to not film any B-roll all day. And to talk to you for three, five, hopefully not seven minutes about where we've been, where we currently are, and potentially where we're going with the VLOG. You gotta be flexible, you gotta be patient, and you've gotta be persistent, meaning persevere in your goals of the VLOG. And what do I mean? So, it is October, 2017. In case you don't know, in case you're new to this channel, I started a daily vlog. I think, actually, I think it was March, 2016, maybe April. Basically, we've been going with a daily VLOG for 18 months, 18 months. And when I started the VLOG 18 months ago, I had three goals, to get better at video production, to have fun with video production. You know, have fun with filming and editing every single day, and to share a little bit of my story. So those were the three goals when I started the daily vlog, okay, okay? Now those goals have evolved a little bit into what you all know so well, and by now is seeking beauty, working hard, and loving each other. I wanna ask all of you right now, for real, who have been watching for a long time, or maybe you've only been watching for the last month, how am I doing on those six goals? Having fun, do you think I have fun when I'm filming and when I'm creating a video for you every day? Do you think I'm doing pretty well with improving my video production skills? How am I doing at communicating my story? How am I doing at seeking beauty? How am I doing at working hard? And how am I doing at loving others? So those are the six goals now that have come to the forefront of this daily video on YouTube. Basically, where have we been, where are we now, and where are we going? With this daily story. And I've evolved a little bit on that as well in calling this channel, this daily video, instead of calling it a vlog, calling it a story, because I am aspiring to be a better storyteller. My goal, really my bigger goal is certainly to share a little bit of my story with all of you, but probably more importantly is to actually get to know your story. And that's another question if you care to chime in is how can I do that? How can we get your story in front of more eyeballs, in front of more ears? I think personal stories from people, and you know who you are, that comment on a regular basis, that is, that's part of the reason why I kind of came up with the question of the day is to have a dialogue with all of you and get to know you better and get to know your story better. And I feel like I actually have a really good idea about some of you out there that watch on a regular basis and comment often. I'll throw out a couple of names, even though I'm gonna leave some people out, you know, Garrett, Diane, Angie, Dave. Carol. Carol. Carol, who else? Two loves over there. Uh-oh, the sun is setting. I better bump the, excuse, the sun is setting rapidly so I had to bump the ISO up. So you know who you are and I appreciate of course your comments, but basically I'm really interested in new ideas for this particular YouTube channel. In addition to the vlog, where are we at? We're doing a daily vlog. Where are we going? I foresee and I would like to aspire to sharing other people's stories. And who knows? Maybe for those that watch on a regular basis, maybe that includes your story. I don't know. I don't know. But that has been mulling over in my brain and my heart and I'm interested in that idea of sharing other people's stories on this particular channel. So, because I know like, you know, you watch me make a lot of coffee. You watch me commute a lot. You watch a lot of sunsets, a lot of sunrises, a lot of time lapses, which is all good and beautiful. But I know there is more to be shared here on this global video platform that is pretty amazing. And there's a lot of challenges out there on the digital continent. A lot of situations that are, you know, tough. And so we wanna bring that goodness back to everything in the world, but in particular here on the World Wide Web. The, yeah, the World Wide Web, the digital continent. So that's what I'm trying to do a little bit of. And I just appreciate all of you tuning in and chiming in here on the channel, watching, subscribing, commenting, and yes, sharing with others so that more people can get into the conversation down in the comments below. And it's, we keep going because of you. And I wish I could pick up my phone because there was a comment on yesterday's vlog and it was amazing. But it's currently the tripod right now, so I'm not gonna mess with it. But it was an amazing comment and it keeps the fire burning for more video production for you. All right, that's it. Seek beauty, work hard, love each other, have fun with video production, get better video production, and share a little bit of your story. See you tomorrow.
