it's the uh start of a new week and I'm here in class got microbiology today all my first test in microbiology Thursday so that's in two days uh did a cool down R when I got home which was 15 minutes work was brutal today was a long day just trying to get prepped and ready for the week [Applause] ahead what you doing dalon homework honestly I feel like these things are starting to get repetitive cuz you know go work come home but um and work out but so the day you know went to work came home immediately went for my run did my speedrun it was a hard ass speedrun I worked on editing the boys's basketball video for Coach V my former coach who I just love um and they're paying me to do that and I need to try to get that done before the end of this week I need to do some homework now which is what I'm saying I need to do homework um it's 7:00 at night I mean I could postpone the homework but in study but when me just get started on the homework maybe I'll work on that till just about 8:00 and then I'll study watch me you guys good I'm sorry Franks he's a fun guy but he just eyes right here eyes right here so you know who turns you in don't you uh no don't play D with me you know person you see every day uh I only see my dog I don't know what kind of dog do you have hey now was going to console the disappointment I do with that okay what did you want to do in the scene um I was going to do like hey I'm scared to death and right before I jump I'm going to confess all the [ __ ] I've done to you behind your back like hey sorry i i s with your girlfriend that one time or you know just stuff like that I die yeah in case I die you know just or like hey I remember you lost your car I actually stole a crash in the river you know something like you know just start it was going to be a story I probably jump off bu J did you expect that nope that's it now we're not necessarily going to do the scenes what I no what I wanted you to get get used to is spending a few minutes looking at your partner go you know what do you think you know get get in the zone and let it breathe a little bit before you just jump right in with what the thing is down there there's a Chick-fil-A down that way go go down that road you run right into it seriously yeah down that road yeah all the way down it's on your left there's a McDonald's oh I might go there then there's a McDonald's and cuz that's cheaper get some big chickens cheaper had a improv tonight how'd it go man it was it was fantastic yeah it was it was fun it's always good to uh be around others that are just jial and happy and excited and we just feed off of each other so yes I feel like we learned a lot tonight it was it was it was uh it was a lot of stuff that um I don't know just to break free and I don't know whatever you're thinking in the moment during the day and you just show up and you just kind of let loose yeah it was a good release yeah for sure what did you think I thought it was good I thought it was a great night what was your favorite part favorite part probably the four square and us talking the very end just discussing like strategy strategies yeah Y is this us we got what the car about to hit us middle of a workout and my plan is to finish this workout which is mostly like body weight stuff but finish it and then go do a 30 31 minute recovery run easy relaxed pace that's nice it's about time I get to do a nice easy relaxed pace and uh I dissected a heart for anatomy and physiology I didn't film any of that cuz you know it's it's a heart it's and organs it's just gross so um for anyone who's sensitive don't worry I won't I won't film I didn't film any of it um but yeah oh man I I I feel like I haven't filmed much this week honestly and I don't know are people who have watched are you enjoying like you watch the other ones are you enjoying I mean it's not much it's just me talking mostly um I still haven't figured out any music yet cuz I just haven't had time to do research and that sort of thing CU it takes a while to research music uh I remember like make putting together all my other videos like the hardest part for the most part was just finding the right music and I would search hard and deep to find the right songs with the right lyrics with the right Vibe and it was just a whole process and then I also had like deeper means behind like the music uh and you know it was I wanted to create something that people would have to analyze with all my older videos but in order to get that uh for people to look deeper you have to have a more people watching more people caring because if someone wants to make content based off my content they need something to piggy back off of so there's no point of anyone making content based off my content cuz I have no one to give to them no one to offer them so still working on that like one of the main goals is like hey 10,000 like give me 10,000 cuz 10,000 is like face um like a key like that's your like core audience still searching for those people and you know there's still a few of you here and I appreciate you being here and hopefully we can continue to just build and build and build and I can improve the craft and also I did finish editing my one of the basketball videos for my former coach and I sent to him and he said oh I love it dton thank you so much um so it just felt great that you know he said like oh this looks I love it this looks great cuz I feel like I kind of let him down U but I think it's just me being hard on myself for the most part all right let's finish this workout and then drink some water and then go do a 30- minute cool off run it's the uh Cal before the storm getting ready to do my run it's really windy not crazy windy but it is windy so it's a sign that the temperatures are starting to change I think it's supposed to snow this weekend I'm like great anyways 30 minute run easy Pace that's nothing I can do that but I'm always like nervous cuz my knees ache and they're not the same as they were a year ago so I'm pushing myself and pushing my joints hopefully I can get this run done and get this week done and yeah just be successful I didn't say anything after my run yesterday but it went good made through it it's a new day now and today is the speedrun and it's like less than 12 hours later since I did my last run so I don't know if my legs are right for this and it's much colder like yesterday it was around 70° and this morning it's around 45° so a dramatic drop and hopefully I'll be able to ditch this hoodie later and just have a good run and we stretch just make it a good one not overdo it but it is a speedrun so we're going to be going pretty fast today speed runs over but my knees and legs they're definitely feeling it so need to go home and rest thank goodness um tomorrow's a rest day and then a long run another week going by fast I've just been trying to get ahead on school work and just trying to relax on my day off um and this is like school work for the upcoming week which is nice cuz this semester I have opportunities to work ahead and try to you know catch up just stay ahead and it's like oh man it' be nice to get ahead cuz then I could relax and you have more room to breathe in a way I need to just uh go ahead and do this I've been putting it off installing and now I'm like halfway through the next week so need just go ahead and get it over with of the movie this week is it's uh it's Fight Club of all movies and it's funny because I actually did a uh a video essay on Fight Club where I compared Fight Club to this YouTuber named Casey neistat who actually just just released a running video recently that you should definitely check out and watch it's really motivational and he talks about in the video about his how his goal was always to achieve a marathon in under 3 hours that's a pretty heavy goal and my goal is to run a half marathon in an hour and a half and me I'm training for it right now and I'm like man that's going to be impossible I'll be lucky just to you shave off a few minutes um it's hard for me to talk about this movie cuz yes I did video essay on it but granted I have never watched this movie all the way through first off who would I recommend this movie to probably anyone who's like from 20 to 35 and probably a male dominant audience is who I would recommend it to cuz this is more for like you know guys who are trying to figure out their manlihood and their life and like what's important what's not uh the movie does deal with a lot of consumerism and me I feel like I've been consuming a lot because I feel like I constantly have no money I'm constantly just waiting to be paid so I can have money to spend and half that money just goes to bills and [ __ ] that I really don't need but I have to spend money on it just it sucks and this movie like pushes the envelope on that like hey what's really important in life like what should you really be focusing on who are you and the movie kind of contradicts itself with uh Tyler Duran and his methods I do think the movie like it's it's kind of inspiring seeing like this guy named Tyler Duran like trying to stand up for like what he believes in and you find out that oh it's really the narrator he's like Tyler D is just everything the narrator wishes he could be and that's why I try to talk about like in my video essay like me like I'm a I'm a filmmaker I'm trying to like make film while also trying to live a normal life and you know I wish I could be this bigger badass Creator and to me I was thinking like oh well Tyler Duran's that for the narrator he's like everything he wants to be well Casey neistat is all is that for all of us aspiring filmmakers and so I tried to make the parallel there and I to me the video did not do new near as well as I wanted it to I feel like I'm going to talk about my video essay more than I'm going to talk about this movie um you know because I worked my ass off on that video essay but it just didn't connect with people or people didn't like it I think I know exactly why it did not do well and part of it is because I'm going to admit this are you ready for this AI wrote that video like it wrote the script for that video and so I feel like there's like no soul in the video it's just a lot of rinse and repeat like the AI wrote the script and I read it verbatim of what it said for the most part you know it did have some flare of like Dalton in there with the music and how it was cut and edited but the chapters and all the dialogue that was all AI so I feel like the video failed in that regard the video only really worked if you were someone who had seen Fight Club and someone who knows who Casey NAD is and Casey neistat in a lot of his older videos he references Fight Club a lot and what was even funnier is after I put that video out like a few videos down the line Casey niat made another reference to fight club and I was like oh [ __ ] I could have used that in my video but you know does this movie like hold up yes like I think it's like a a good movie and it's worth a watch granted I have not watched it all the way through and people are going to hate me for that and I here I am trying to review it but uh I really wish uh this movie could like have a retry like they would remake it and Implement stuff like social media into the movie because this movie came out 1999 so it was before social media I would love to hear Tyler Duran's thoughts on social media why are we trying to be these things why are we trying to like do what other people want us to do this is like one of my personal theories on social media I think Tyler Duran would think the same people don't really care about themselves they don't care about who they are as a person but they care about how people perceive them how people see them how people see their lives I really should watch this movie all the way through and I just I just haven't cuz whenever um I saw that oh yeah Tyler Duran and the are the same person I like checked out but I still love the very first half of this movie and I'll just rewatch it over and over and over again so would I recommend this movie it depends on who you are like a young male I would recommend it to females do like this movie too I'm not saying they don't and wouldn't feel like your life is meaningless this is probably a good movie for you to check out anyways uh in other news I did run R my nine miles for the end of this past week and it kicked my ass like honestly I I ran it and I came home I took a nap ate took another nap was up for like another hour and then just decid you know [ __ ] it I am going to sleep I was exhausted I don't know and it's funny that I'm talking about this movie because I'm still trying to like figure like like this [ __ ] out trying to figure out how I can make these things better um and I just feel like I'm like time is I'm like there's so many things pulling time away from me uh you know work running for a train for a half marathon school workor you know trying to keep relationships alive my friends my family like it's just it's a lot just trying to stay strong and persevere and be resilient so anyways that's all I got for this week uh I will see you next week
