Welcome to my life! Uncut vlogs about my journey, woodland talks, overcoming addictions, & other insights about the ever evolving social landscape and what I've learnt in my 31 years of life with some reviews of towns, heritage sights and the esoteric thrown in. I also share ideas that I feel are worth sharing with you beautiful people.
So good to hear from you Sam! Glad you're doing well. Yes, work takes it out of you.That's why I have to recharge out in nature. Tomorrow try to go out for a walk, doesn't have to be a long walk, but you'll see afterwards you won't be as hammered than if you didn't. I can't wait for your spooky adventure! Have camera in hand to catch any ghosts. Try talking to them. They'll actually communicate with you. Most of all, have a blast! A great rest of the week to you Sam! Much love, CJ ❤️✌️👻
Yeah I need to get back out into nature again, crikey! Good point. Yeah I will go out into the forest tomorrow afternoon 😊 but yeah I'll have a couple conversations with the ghosts haha. Should make for a very interesting video. I hope🤞 😅 Have a great week, CJ 😊🫶🥰
A lot of people are and want to be serfs! Crazy thing is we need people peeps like that. They are happy to be mindless and go through the day to day drugery. If they are happy, who are we to object. Do your own shit dude!
Guy, it's time to grow up. The childish want to go play and satisfy only yourself is over. Now it's time to man up, be an adult, and do what needs to be done. We can't speak for those you mention, but if you're dissatisfied, then only you can fix it. Ghost hunting is a hobby, at best. It's not a life. Guess what - no-one - and I don't care how famous or well known, is making a living ghost hunting. Find something you enjoy and like, after that it's not work. If you make a bad decision, then it's on you. You're in a room with some naff LED lights, posters on the wall, and a baseball cap on for no good reason. Sort yourself out.
Absolutely agree with the work evaluation. Years of repetitive tasks in factories, warehouses or in computer cubicles will suck the soul out of the strongest of us. 👍🏼
Yeah it sure does, I feel myself becoming an NPC at my place currently lool. I've been doomed to warehouse work for years of my life, wasn't much fun. Hope you're having a great week!
You do have a niche skill from what I see in your video, capitalise on that. You are young enough to make the right changes for yourself. I totally agree with you, in that you cannot stay on the rat-wheel for ever. I wish you the best.
Aw thank you for this comment 😊 I really appreciate it. The rat race is slowly killing my mind haha but keeping focused on the 3 or so year plan haha. Take care and have a great week 😊
hey man, yeah your right, one of things that make jobs so awful is the zombies who have committed themselves to live miserable lives until its the weekend or until they retire. In no way should we be spending our lives around such negativity. If we give up your own hopes and dreams we will eventually end up like them! I use that as motivation to to keep me going in the attempt to escape the grind.
Absolutely, taking the words right out of my mouth. They're all so bloody miserable there and it is such a dream killer, but exactly like you said, I use it to my advantage and too keep my dreams very much alive haha :) have a good week, dude!
I worked at a Boeing aircraft facility when I just got out of high school. It was working with complex wiring inside the crafts. The workers all looked like they were in a prison. A black cloud hung over the place with cameras watching your every move. I couldn't take it. I left after a few months. I can't imagine working your whole life being in what feels like a dungeon. Totally get it bro. CJ 😁✌️♥️
Yeah that sounds quite familiar tbf haha It is absolutely demolishing me, honestly, the people usually make the workplace and my god, no one talks, everyone's miserable and autonomous like robots and not even the good kind of robots. But a very grey cloud definitely hangs over the place. Just going to use it as fuel for my crstivity at the weekends.
Hey Sam, good to see you! I'd love to see you play games. Being in the US, I probably can't see you live but will catch your videos later. I'd love to see you play Cyberpunk! My fav game. Do you play No Man's Sky? It's an immersive experience and adventure across the universe. Since you like adventures, if you can, get Red Dead Redemption. They have a couple of them. They're all good. Westerns with vast areas to explore. Hope to see you play games soon! Game on brother! CJ ✌️✨🚀 🖖🌌
@@ludwig327 I can see Sam being Marsten as well. Sam would make a good cowboy. Put your cowboy hat on Sam and get on your horse. Time for Red Dead and Red Dead 2, cowboy. Yee haw! 🤠
@@ludwig327 Yeah, Bloodborne would be cool too. Close to Halloween, "Alone in the Dark" is a survival horror game, would be another as well. Sam, are you ready to be spooked? 👻🎃😱
Ahhh, yeahhh I'd love to stream all of those to be fair!! Ahh, that's getting me excited, haha 😊 I love cyberpunk and red dead, and right well you guys have sold it to me ill be doing some livestreaming then. :) Hope you're having a good week CJ. Much love, Sam 🥰❤️x
Hahaha I love this. I'm going to invest in a decent webcam then haha. Ngl work is obliterating me 😂😂 so knackered all the time fml. We Got a bit of Vissrespect this evening though 😆
@@Pyxlmynd yeah man. Doc's alien isolation playthrough was funny. He was phased out at the end. Glad to see Viss sticking up for him. Would've though Halifax and the rest would of backed him when the shit hit the fan.
@ludwig327 yeah I liked his first playthrough, but then he treated the game like it wasn't a horror coz he was just so done with it, which was a shame coz it couldve been creepy to watch, but doc hates showing his emotions, doesn't he? 😂 so funny when he got scared, so out of character haha. But yeah I reckon the others will start to trickle in, like Z and hali. He's getting sponsors again so there's obviously nothing wrong with associating with the doc again now. I reckon Dripping in heat with Z will be back
Yeah I worked in a factory where people had been there nearly 40 years doing the same job, older than I'd been alive at the time. For me my freetime and the enjoyment of the work is number one. Save the money and travel as much as you can while your still young mate.
@@Pyxlmynd OK buddy, absolutely no problem at all. Hang on in there and look forward to your weekend. I look forward to the update. It's a crazy time and a crazy world!
Hey Sam sry I haven't been around I'm currently in wnc USA stuck without anything atm just got phone with net today for any meaningful length of time. as far as quitting smoking goes fuk that for me atm I'm in the middle of pure chaos atm and just lookin for food n water atm so yeah hopefully my phone stays on n net. hoping for power its been 7 days now. DONT BEAT YOURSELF UP SAM! JUST LEARN AND TRY AGAIN! love ya Thanks for bringing a little normalcy to my absolute nightmare of a day!
Oh no that's a bit intense. Propper survival lol. And no worries. I haven't uploaded much this week. Been absolutely knackered and so fuked haha getting used to work but oh crikey, it's knackering lol. And you're right. I'm trying to he easy on myself and I know long term, I am going to succeed:) but busy weekend, going to a 1000 year old tavern tomorrow. So shall vlog that. I hope you're doing well Amber:) x
You gotta change the way you party and celebrate. It is just that you are used to relaxing and chilling out with friends this way. It is a tradition you need to change.
This is how it works when you're ticking beak, and sniffing it on your own on a Wednesday. You still have to pay on payday, and yea, might aswell grab another half😂.
Mate, a lot people get on the gear every now and again. Stop beating yourself up about it. Every time it’s the same thing, you beat yourself up so hard. I’ve known a lot of addicts and all of them would have done the whole pay cheque. You are not an addict mate, you’re someone that’s in pain and wants to feel different. There is a difference. Please do not keep calling it ‘relapsing’ and yourself an ‘addict’. It’s unhelpful and not true. Be kinder to yourself pal.
I really appreciate this comment. It hit home. Thank you for saying this. I will stop beating myself up. 🥰 u0load will be tonight or tomorrow. Work has just absolutely knackered me haha. Hope you're well bro 🫶🫶
So sorry to hear about your relapse Sam. I'm not going to beat you up. I just had such high hopes that you'd beat it, but there's always a new chance to start fresh. A good idea about money is to open a savings account and put half in it that you can't touch. It will add up soon. That way money won't go flying away like a flying pig out the window. Make a budget with a planner and add up your weekly costs then after you have that squared away, the left over money, after your savings and budget, you can use for fun time. Instead of the packets go for something you'd like otherwise, like maybe treat yourself to a dinner at a place you've always wanted to eat at, or a new computer game. Keep occupied too. Do hobbies, go walking like you do, go to the gym. That will keep you focused on other things and not on addictions. Good luck Sam! Much love brother! CJ ♥️🍀✌️🌞
Aww thank you so much for saying this. Its actually what I'm doing. And busy this weekend with lost of video ideas and visiting this 1000 year old tavern. Will update everyone tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for being you CJ ❤️ will be back to normal uploading as soon as I feel recovered haha x
Hey dude, if you happen to cut loose at the weekend with a few pints in a 1000 year old pub, please don't beat yourself up about it, cos it would be hard for most not to have a few autumnal pints in a cosy historic pub 🍁
Yeah, true. Thanks for saying that 😅 tbf I will have a couple guiness' when I'm there and see what happens haha, hopefully something spooky kinda actually happens lol but either way it will be soo cool experience it. Definitely gunna ask some questions
I have 2 (what I believe to be) good suggestions for you 1. join a combat sport class, either BJJ/kick boxing/Mauy Thai or MMA, if you can't find one then join the gym with the intention of just building as much muscle mass as possible, you probably wince at the idea of becoming a beefcake but it will make you focus and give you disaplin, also you'll meet other people who are struggling with things but have found real ways of helping deal with it without resorting to artificial means and they will have a very positive effect on your life x
You're the second person to have said this! Thanks, I most definitely am joining the gym and going to go after work, like I used to years ago. And I'd love to learn a martial art. Thank you again for this. I'll definitely take action on this. Take care and have a great week :) ✌️ 🫶
Good trick is to always remind yourself of your goals! Set reminders on your phone, write it on your bedroom walls even tattoo it on your hands whatever it takes just keep fresh in the mind
You’re alive! I was wondering this morning if those pesky sesh gremlins had got you. Got to watch them, they’re sneaky mother fuckers! I liken drugs and booze to getting a treat when you’ve hurt your leg or something as a child; your parents would buy you a beano and a curly wurly to cheer you up, now we’re adults and we’ve had a shit week at work the sweets and comics don’t cut it! 😂 🤦♂️ Take care 🤙🫡
That's is such a brilliant analogy holy fck. I might have to steal that. Yeah the sesh goblins got me 😂😂😂 ill figure it out though lol This comment really cracked me up 😂😂 take care dude! ✌️x
Awesome Sam about how well you're doing your job! Soon you'll be on an adventure! I can't wait to see what you discover! Meanwhile back across the pond, I sent out a search party to go look for Donald Trump's brain. The guy is mad I tell you. Have a wonderful weekend mate! CJ ❤️✌️☮️🌞⛱️
😂😂😂 he is absolutely barmy. So much fukery in the news I've heard. I although I do reckon he'll become president, let's just hope he makes it great again 🙄😂 we'll see. And cheers doing alrightband I've been paid, wahoo. Now to book somewhere cool for tomorrow night 😁 have a great Friday and weekend CJ!! ❤️✌️ x
Well done man 👍💪 Try not to drink tomorrow, distract yourself with something, a new game for the price of your would be drinks perhaps? I’m a binge drinker and sometimes getting two 2 litre bottles of fizzy water satisfies the need for something cool, carbonated and harsh tasting! Sometimes hard not to drink on a Friday though when the weeks been arse and all the management are cock ends! Careful what you disclose on these videos though man, don’t want you in hot water anyway I’m rambling. Look after yourself man thanks for the vid 👍💪
Hahaha ah aw I appreciate it. But I'm all safe this end. Work knows I'm sucked in now. But appreciate the thought. And suggestions :). Hope you have a lovely weekend bro. ❤️
Omg it'd one of my favorites too, I got it day one. And loved peter dinklage and your ghost but they ended up changing the voice actor. Devastating lol. But yeah I love it so much, although I haven't played it in a couple years. Not Al that keen on destiny 2. But I might get back into it again. Have a great evening Nearly the weekend again lol 🫶
@@Pyxlmynd I started a bit after they changed the voice actor but I remember people saying the same as you about the new one, that game was so good though. Good vibes back then
😂😂 always bringing the vsm. As much as possible anyway haha. Appreciate you man. Crikey I am honestly so fuked. And so knackered lol but I'm slowly getting more energy the mote I get used to work, luckily :) x
I am very proud of you Sam! Keep it up mate! I just got home from a long day at work and chillaxin now and I found a cool song. Remina is the group and song is Obsidian. Also, do you know Blutengel? Like their song Angel in the Night. They have more of a vampire type of gothic music I suppose. It differs but always seem "vampire like" lol. Have a great night Sam! ❤️🎧🎶😊
I have no idea who they are lol but I'll be sure to give them a lesson, thanks for the recommendations, always gotta appreciate people extra when they introduce you to new music. Have a good day bro 👊 🤜 🤛 🫶
I can feel you bro. It's kinda a life long journey but we'll overcome and adapt eventually don't you worry mate. You been doing anything on youtube yet? Or tik tok? 🧐😅
That's awesome though really about the drinkin. I'm happy for ya! Who cares how it looks while recovering from anything let alone what you and so many others are lol Just think of how you looked on drugs? lol I know I look a mess keepin myself from smokin. I really shouldn't have went to Walmart though, thst was a test in social politeness I never wanna do again😂 Stay dry, get sum rest and hells yeah you're doin it
Aww, I love this haha! Yeah I'm certainly getting there. I got my goal! I'm on it! Haha but oh crikey, bloody hell! I remember going to walmart several times in florida, Orlando and it's way too big and why too overestimating, it's kinda like adrenaline fueling and basically a living nightmare that place lol but I kinda liked it, paradoxically 😂😂 I'd honestly be the size of a house if I lived in America haha. But yeah anyway we're all getting to our dreams one little step at a time!😅😆
@Pyxlmynd Nah its easy to be fit here pffttt there's so much to see n do outdoors it's so fun so any crap ya eat if you choose to would melt right off with a goodI hike or mountain biking 😂I been to Orlando once it was hot and humid and tbh I was slightly freaked out by the open flatness of it🙃 I love my mountains n valleys more but it was awesome to see the beautiful state at sunset. OK bk to my political rants on various channels gunna be a menace for a bit 😂 Love ya pal be careful out there!
yeah just sat thinkin about how I really wanna learn how to make a certain type of beauty product over the weekend while bored. so I went out, got the stuff for it n tried it out. turns out I'm good at figuring out things n kept me busy learning a new very useful and very healthy skill lol. got myself sorted this morning with the quitting smokin thing it's goin ok so far. Thanks for your thoughts on boredom. You're spot on keep it up!
Ahh yeah that's aweosme! I love to hear it. And all coz of good old boredom!! And in keeping it up. Don't think I'm gunna stop making videos until I'm dead. So give it another 60 years, I'll still be posting haha 😆
😆😆 aw haha thats really lovely to hear tbf, life long subscriber and pals haha how lovely! But yeah content should be a lot more interesting from this weekend onwards! Get paid Friday! 😁 booking some cool sht. Keep being awesome Amber! 🫶🫶
@Pyxlmynd yeah Boi payday! don't forget to stash sum away lol Your content is interesting for example I had no idea it was pissin it down today there and now I do lol jk! have a great night!!
Hey Sam, you know you mentioned having ADHD but did you know a cause for it is a lack of Vitamin B1? Try some B1 Benfotiamine. It will correct that. You also mentioned needing a time to be down sometimes, a good song for that is Sonata Arctica's Fade to Black. Have a great week mate! ❤️✌️🌞🌻
Exactly right mate, I think we look at the past as a very boring time because there wasn't much to do like there is now, but then look at the music of the past, the art and the movies even the people, the characters.... so much better than today because people were bored and that boredom was used to create. I think people in recent times don't experience real boredom because there is so much mind numbing shite to destract them so nothing comes of it. But saying that boredom can obviously also be very destructive but thats because we see being bored as a problem that needs to be fixed, instead of accepting it as normal becauae the reality is the world is not a fairgorund or a circus, its a very boring place sometimes and thats ok.
Yeah exactly, everyone so busy keeping themselves preoccupied with keeping them selves distract as much as humanly possible, creativity seems to be at an all time low and just like you said its coz people find it hard to be alone with their own thoughts and to be bored so the lack of boredom is stalling creativity and dreams. Good point mate! 🫶 hope your Monday is going alright. Times flying at work today for some reason. Can't complain on my end. Just need to research where the fuk I'm gunna go this weekend :) x
Your evening sounds great. It’s really not worth it. You feel great now so bin it all off as you ain’t missing anything Sam. Some people out here are craving what you now have and will be envious of your new way of living. Be proud 👌🤜
A therapist told me once that we have to learn to self-sooth, also that we have to learn to fill the well from within. Which ultimately means I think, with something that is healthy for us, nourishment, experiences, people and so on, so we're not looking for that outside of ourselves. The body always tries to re-balance, so very salty food will shortly lead to the craving for something sweet, and then it's like a see-saw of cravings. I am caught up in that somewhat. I am struggling with watching too much youtube, which ultimately is a sign of a life less lived to be honest. I'm not going to be in a club or a group or anything else. I was just watching another human find their way back towards balance, at a time when I was beginning to find my way back there too. So we all need to keep going and moving towards what's right for us. Sam don't forget to get those driving lessons booked asap, like next week! find a good instructor, you will have the money and they might even do a lesson before work, or on the way home eventually. Kudos to your Dad for getting you there and back, and Mum for holding the fort, and whoever else is there as part of the team 🙂
Sam, over the weekend here's a group for you. Amorphis. Lots of RU-vid videos. The Bee. The Moon. Brother and Sister. Sky Forger. Really any. They are Finnish Metal. Enjoy your weekend bro! 🌞⛱️✌️
It dawned on me when I saw a clip about Princess Diana that you have her beautiful eyes and your accent seems similar to hers, this coming from an American, but England seems to have so many accents, like those in Manchester, or the Midlands, and the North, or in Wales, or London and the Cockney accent too, among many, but her accent seems similar to yours. You could have been siblings. I always thought she was so pretty and so classy. It was a shame what happened to her but anyway, when I saw her I thought about you. Is the Southampton accent similar to where she grew up? In America,we have basically four main accents, Northern, Southern, the Great Lakes like Wisconsin, and what I call the rest of us accent. ✌️✌️✌️
Haha what a compliment, as far as I know she's grew up mostly in the nice areas of London, which can sound southern English as the further south you go the more we pronounce our vowels. Haha but I'd have to Google it. I get my accent from my parents mostly, I'd assume and they all speak proppa. The accents are crazy over here, eh Haha but southampton is not posh so I'm not sure how I sound like princess Di 😅 but I'll take it. She was an absolute beauty and a total legend, bless her socks! X ❤️
Love the little people anology mate 😂😂😂 give those poor guys some holiday, mine have been on holiday for about six weeks. I think they will have to find a new job ❤
@@Pyxlmynd your up early buddy, I might take my dog for a walk in the woods nearby, raining heavyish but gonna dress up warm and snuggly. Have a cracking Sunday me old cocker spaniel
@waynebarry251 yeah its raining all weekend and all week, lol and I slept forever yesterday and went to sleep on 4 hours ago but I'm up. Not too sure what to do today. Might have a bit more sleep I dunno 😂 got no money so sleep sounds fun hahaha then probably go for a walk and come back and watch some films and have a lazy Sunday haha. Take care bro and have a lovely rest of your weekend:) ❤️
