 Good morning everybody. Today is Saturday. I woke up really late today I have to run to the grocery store to pick up some coffee creamer, especially since it's cold outside It's like I kind of need a warm drink in the morning after I run to the grocery store I'm gonna come back here make some coffee and then try to go to the gym before my SCL meeting for those who aren't familiar with SCL It's the mentorship program where I'm mentoring a student in the New York City area So today is the actual day that I get a chance to I guess you could say E me virtually meet the person that I'm mentoring So I'm really excited about that. Also. This is my first time vlogging on the Sony a7s3 Actually did not have enough time to go work out So I just got in a shower and got dressed because my mentorship program is starting now So I'm excited to get a chance to meet my mentee The lighting has been pretty weird in here because the Sun keeps popping in and out of the clouds So I apologize if it looks a bit oversaturated or a little bit too orange or some of these frames But I know some of you all have been asking me about the hoodie that I was rocking in my last video This is the Yeezy Gap hoodie you can actually get it on stock X for resale not that much more than retail So if you've been thinking about getting it, this is a really nice hoodie Not only can you always resell it when you're tired of it? But it's heavyweight perfect for the winters if you're on the East Coast or in the Midwest It also lays really nice on your shoulders. It just makes you look really good It's honestly the perfect comfort hoodie for fall winter Just got done meeting with my mentee for the first time and it's great being a mentor being able to give back And it was cool learning more about him We have a lot of similarities. He loves basketball on YouTube So he spent a lot of time talking about YouTube and basketball his favorite player LeBron So he's a Lakers fan and Bron was my favorite player at one point in time Obviously being from Cleveland. Also, he has programming experience and he's just now starting junior year These high schoolers are really evolving like they already have programming experience junior year in high school. It's crazy I knew nothing about programming at that point in time, but I really look forward to building a relationship with him I recently picked up the Yeezy cream 700s. These are the Yeezy 700 v2s I've been eyeing these for a while I actually traded my thunder force for them at this vintage store called my cousin vintage Klee That's the Instagram handle. So if you're ever in the area, you got to check them out. They have a lot of heat They also gave me a discount for moving to New York City, which I thought was dope. So just want to show support to them All right today is Sunday and I'm trying to decide what exactly I'm gonna do I don't know if I'm gonna go over to my family's for dinner Lee's hanging out with some of her friends today around six But I definitely need to do some packing and I need to start working on this next video that I'm Really excited about that I'm planning on releasing either later on this week or the week after the one thing That sucks about being a sneakerhead is when you move You have to take all your sneakers and their boxes Otherwise you lose so much value when you don't have the box. It just feels like the sneakers less legit I don't know that's kind of silly, but it just kind of is what it is I'm trying to decide if I'm gonna play basketball today around three the Browns already played this week So technically I don't have any games that I necessarily need to watch so I really do want to hoop I think there will be a nice little basketball session, especially since this will be like my last one with one of my friends who invited me I've been working remotely for one year in seven months nearly two years So it's gonna take some getting used to being hybrid starting next week I first want to say that I'm incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work remotely. It's been a major blessing I definitely think Lee and I grew closer Experiencing our first year of marriage sharing 860 square feet together as an extrovert. It's gotten more difficult being remote, especially since I live in a pretty boring city There's not a lot going on here. There aren't really any co-working spaces There are a solid amount of coffee shops near me, which has been nice But other than that in terms of changing my work environment, I haven't really had the opportunity to do that I actually do like the idea of working remote, especially as a content creator It makes making content so much easier since I'm not spending so much time commuting I'm excited to get back into the office so I can see my co-workers in person Also, it was kind of tough starting a job remotely because I still don't feel like I know most of my teammates that well However, I think the most ideal situation will be the ability to come into office opposed to two or three set days a week to come in I basically prefer working hybrid But more time at home than in office personally think that as a developer You definitely don't need to be in office to be successful I think that's a very traditional and old way of thinking especially in the tech industry I found that I've had a much healthier work life balance without dealing with commuting And I know people have mentioned that they enjoy not dealing with office politics So we did choose an apartment. We are moving to hoboken I'm really excited because to be honest with you if we weren't going to move to new york city We figured hoboken would be the next best option If you aren't familiar with hoboken, you can think of it as a suburb of new york city That's what some people call it. I wouldn't really call it a suburb though It's very much city like similar to new york city just not as crazy We live about three miles away from midtown So if we took the ferry it would take about 10 minutes to get to midtown And then we take the path that takes like 20 or less to get to Manhattan I can't mention it enough how excited I am about having the opportunity to move to the new york city area I feel like i'm going to Experience so much growth that I wouldn't have been able to experience being at home So this is the last week in my hometown. I've been doing a lot of reflection I mean, I did go away to college. So this isn't super unfamiliar territory. I went to school It was in Ohio But basically like west virginia three and a half hours away and I didn't come home that much So that really helped me grow and experience being away from home away from family But this is different because it's a permanent move And I'm really excited to see what god has in store for Lee and I and I'm just really grateful for this experience. I I can't say it enough I'm really excited like you know, I was sad, of course I'm gonna miss family and friends But then I got this thought dude. You're moving to new york city or new york city area That is incredible. That's something I've been trying to do for like four years So now I'm really just excited more than anything else. So that concludes this video be sure to comment down below I just like hearing from you all and engaging with you replying to comments I really do enjoy it because this is a community and I care about you all a lot And I really appreciate for you all caring about me and being a part of this really exciting journey As always have a blessed rest of your week.
