 Hi, this is Mitch Mitchell My website is I'm just sharing calm and the reason I'm putting that in is because I did some Little test of talking about visibility of one's YouTube channel and it did all this stuff And one of things it mentioned that it ranked me really low on is that I supposedly don't mention enough What I'm associated with I don't have the link to my blog hire So we're gonna try some things here. You're gonna see what happens Anyway, if you saw the picture you saw that I now have this book bleeding orange Which is about Jim Bayhiem and 50 years of Syracuse basketball and I'm happy to have that book I can't wait to really get into it and read about all these things that some of them I know about because I've been watching the Syracuse basketball since at least 1975. So what's that almost 40 years? You know So I've been watching for at least 40 years and I've gone to a lot of games And I'm gonna have a good time with this book because this is stuff that I want to know And that's really what this video is about. What is it that we really need to know? What do we want to know? You know, I did a video Way early in the year and I talked about how when I was working I would be listening to documentaries of different types and I enjoyed documentaries But I started to notice that my demeanor was changing and I was getting kind of depressed and mean at the same time And I realized it was because I was watching a lot of documentaries that were about nasty things serial killers and gangs and murder and oh my goodness, you know and on the surface it seems seemed really fascinating and yet it was really starting to affect my mindset and So I switched from those and went to comedies and cartoons and mindset lifted and So I have found myself back a little bit into this kind of thing I mean, you know a couple videos ago. I talked about the thing in Ferguson and You know, then we had the thing happen in New York Actually, a couple things happened in New York and then we had the kid killed in Cleveland And you know, there's a lot of bad news the other day that you had the thing with the the Taliban and Taliban I thought they were gone, but the Taliban going into a school and killing 120 plus children. Are you kidding? You know what? There's nothing I can do about a lot of stuff It's tough enough being in the United States and hearing certain things without Also having to hear what happens over in other countries with stuff like that this the the siege That's what they call it the siege in Australia Where what this one met case went in and he took over a Lent chocolate. Come on. It's a lint chocolate. You know What's wrong with you? I okay? I know this is a troubled guy and you know The world doesn't do well with troubled people. It just don't but here's my thought I get a lot of news alerts and You know, probably six or seven different newspapers. I get news alerts because I've always been one of those people said you gotta know what's going on and truthfully I'm thinking there's other ways for me to find out what's going on rather than to get news alerts during the day You get a news alert and it's something dire or whatever whether it has anything do with you or not My mind says, okay, I gotta go see what this is all about and I'm thinking, you know what? I don't need to see that. I'm thinking that I probably don't need to see as much news as I've been seeing I certainly don't need to see the comments. What's wrong with people anyway of the comments are always horrendous in newspaper stories You get the wrong people the wrong element and by the way, they're all hiding behind pseudonyms So they're all fake names, you know, no one is brave enough to say what they want to say using their own name You know what? My name is Mitch Mitchell. It says that on the channel. That's how come I have no worries If I get a troll comes in and says something I don't like I'll throw them out because they're not using the real name matter of fact, a lot of them have a channel and If you go check it out because I check out channels and they have no videos up They have nothing. They just want to get on there and mess with people's minds I mean my goodness how depressing how sad your life has to be to do that Yeah but What I've done is I've turned off news alerts For most places I haven't gotten everything yet. So I turned it off for local news. I turned it off for cnn I turned it off for Washington Post. I haven't turned off the New York Times yet They got to get to that one and some of the others and I realized that I'm going to see certain things on twitter I mean, I already had had moved Um, I was tracking a couple of different news sources in a certain column in twitter When I use a tweet deck on on my computer And I had a couple of things in there and I said, you know what I don't need that And I'm tracking news feeds in other places and I'm gonna pretty much Turn that down. I'm still gonna track sports So I'm gonna hear some sports news and some of it might not be great sports news But you know what I mean sports is a little different a lot of the sports news isn't going to be that drastic I mean if I hear the sports news like hearing the sports news that john lester signed with the cubs Or I think it was the cubs. Maybe it was the white socks. Anyway, hearing that he signed with a chicago team instead of the red socks That was disappointing, but it wasn't earth shaking You know, I didn't get depressed about that Um, matter of fact, I was surprised that red socks were even in the mix after what they did to him earlier this year, you know So that's a little, you know It's one of those kind of things where I'm asking the question today and I'm answering it for myself What is it that you really want to hear? What is it that you need in your life? What is it that you don't need in your life? What don't you need to hear? And can you turn some of that down and find a way to Find more positive things to bring into your life? This is what I'm shooting for, you know, I need to focus I mean I've got this goal of 10 million dollars in the bank in the next 10 years, you know, by the time I hit 65 Yeah, I know what people are saying, but you know what? One, I don't care what people have to say about my dream If it's negative and two, even if I don't hit that dream if I can do something that, you know If I ended up with with $500,000 in the bank million dollars, you know, even $200,000 I'm not gonna sit there and cry and complain and say man. I really messed this up No, I'm gonna say, you know what? You took some positive steps. You showed some positive growth and you did some positive things But sometimes to get to that point to do positive things you got to find ways to get some of that negative stuff out of there so probably I hope that this works and if this works I'm gonna make 2015 more of the positive thing Um, hopefully nothing really bad is gonna happen that I'm gonna feel compelled to rant about it Somewhere, but you know, we need more positive. I need more positive And my goodness, I mean, I've got a goals post coming out on the 26th on I'm just sharing And I realized that out of all the goals I set for 2014, there's only one I didn't hit That's not so bad. I'm thinking And so that made me feel pretty good And so I need more positive in my life So my 2015 goal is not only, you know, I have certain other things Such as increasing my youtube subscribers. So if you watch this share this with other people, but You know, I want more positive in my life. I want more happy in my life And if I got to keep watching emit otters jug band christmas and for you younger people go look that up because it's a wonderful Uh, happy christmas movie If I have to watch that every single day To stay happy and smile, I will do it I'm serious Anyway, it's Mitchell Y'all take care and I hope you have a wonderful day. Hope you have a wonderful week
