Namaste, good morning, good afternoon, good evening wherever you may be across the planet around the world. My name is Greg Prescott from N5D.com and I want to welcome everyone to another Patreon behind the scenes. Now, as many of you know, here on Patreon, I'm pretty big on Oracle cards and I enjoy doing that, checking out to see what kind of signs I'm going to get from these cards, what kind of synchronicities are going to abound from them. I also enjoy tarot as well. And what I look for are once again these synchronicities. Now, of course, there's many ways of divination that you can choose. You can choose Oracle cards, tarot, runes, whatever you desire. Some people use a pendulum. I use whatever tools are available that resonate with me. For example, if you're going out Oracle card shopping, you know, if mermaids and dolphins have some kind of affinity to you or, for example, you're looking for spirit messages, pick up those cards, try them out. Most places that you go to, for example, here in Sarasota, we have a place called Elysian Fields, and they have decks that you can try out. And oftentimes I'll try them out and I'll give myself a little sample reading with whatever deck it is. And if I find some kind of synchronicity in the reading, I'll probably end up buying the deck. Now, the first part of this is going to be presented to everyone here on Patreon as well as YouTube. And afterwards I'll go into the Oracle card readings for our Patreon family. But this morning I drew a simple three-card layout past, present, and future. And this is some of the synchronicities that I'm talking about. Now the first card that was drawn was the King of Pentacles. And the second card is the Moon, with the third card being the Seven of Wands. Now we're not going to go too much into the past, but this is our first card, which is the past, the King of Pentacles. Now you see that he's deep in thought and introspect. And what I love about this card, I got to look around the card, what I love about this card is that most people that are deep in introspect are introverts. As you know, I call myself the King of Introverts. There's a Myers-Briggs personality test that you can take that gives you four letters. And these four letters show you whether you're an introvert or an extrovert. There's no wrong way of answering these 72 questions, I believe. But you answer the 72 questions and then you get four letters. My four letters are I, N, F, P. The I stands for introvert and is intuitive at these feelings. And I forgot what the P is, it might be perception. I have to check on that. But with the King of Pentacles, this gentleman is, in my opinion, he's an introvert. He's going in and deep thought and introspect. He worked hard to get to where he is. He's quiet but charming. He tells great stories and captivates his audience. He's the kind of person that you'd love to work for just because he's going to say, wow, you did such a great job. People value his words more than the pay that he gives. So I found this to be a beautiful card, basically showing us that it's a group reading for us, the introverts. And it leads us to our second card, which is the moon. Now, the synchronicity on this is that today there is a full moon in Capricorn. So let's take a peek at this card again. What you see is a crustacean coming out from the stream and heading down this path. And I found that interesting because if you think about the full moon, the actual month that we're having the full moon is July and the sign is cancer. So we have the crustacean represented here for cancer. Now, the moon is all about deception and illusion. So another thing that comes to mind with that is Pluto and Capricorn, how the truth vibration is rising. And we're seeing a lot of deception that was previously covered up being exposed through the truth vibration. Recently, we saw Jeffrey Epstein get arrested for child trafficking. And this is one of the many truths that are coming up. If you notice the twin towers right here on the card, you have the left and right. That's basically representing good versus evil, polarity, duality, good and bad. We have represented on these cards. So you can look at that as possibly at least once again through this intuitive phase of the moon, which brings out your intuition. I'm sensing that this has a lot to do with that Jeffrey Epstein being arrested in Upper Manhattan in the blackout that went out for several hours there. Also want you to take a look at the dog and the wolf howling. Am I getting that card on the screen? I can't tell. Hopefully I am. We have a dog and a wolf howling on this picture. And that kind of shows us the domesticated versus the tame. Brings out the, perhaps maybe the wild aspects of ourselves. If you think about the moon and the prefix Luna, you hear about people going crazy on the days of a full moon. I know nurses dread working on these days, but Luna also is the prefix for Luna tick. So there's a lot of processing and transmuting going on within this card when you have the duality and the polarity going back and forth. And basically what you want to look at is how does that make you feel? A lot of times we feel anxiety or fear. And it helps us to address those shadow aspects of ourselves that cause anxiety and fear within us. You also want to look at what hidden truths are being revealed or illuminated by the moon. The moon is a feminine object as opposed to the sun being masculine, the sun of God. And the moon of God is a feminine aspect. But it also shows us that not everything is what it seems. And that's, once again, we can go back to that blackout in New York City, where there was probably some covert operations going on. And there was probably more that went on during that blackout than what we really know or what we're being showed so far. So in relationships, you might find miscommunications. If you're single, there might be deception going on. Or if you're dating, there might be intentions that maybe aren't so good or truthful being placed out there that perhaps that person may or may not follow through on. Most importantly, what you get out of this card, the moon, is to focus on your dreams and intuition. So what kind of dreams have you been having? Have they been giving you clues? Once again, playing onto your intuition. Are they giving you clues as to what direction perhaps you should be going? Now, if the dreams have been somewhat dark and shady, that's OK. Because what it's doing is it's bringing up the shadow self. It's showing you and giving you the opportunity to overcome these challenges. Because it's a very intuitive card, though, it doesn't mean that just when you're dreaming, you're tapping into your intuition. Use your intuition during this full moon period and even beyond, because that's what this card represents. It doesn't have to mean during this full moon. But tap into your intuition and use your discernment to figure out what is right and what is wrong. And it will help lead you down the path that you're supposed to be going on to help fulfill your life purpose. Now, the last card is the Seven of Wands. And what we see here is a man standing up defending himself against all these people. And basically what this is, he's outnumbered. He's standing his ground. He feels like maybe he's been attacked for whatever reasons, but he's still on top and he's standing in his vibration of truth, love, and light. And that's the biggest message I get out of that. You know, despite what anyone else says or thinks, stand in that vibration of truth, love, and light, especially in this genre that we're in right now, a lot of people think, you know, you're crazy because you're saying all these different things about energy and high-pitched frequencies and stuff like that. It doesn't matter what other people think or say. It matters what you think or say. So perhaps this is a sign for some people to come out of the spiritual closet and stand in that vibration of truth, love, and light. So if you take a look at his shoes here, he's got two different shoes on. So maybe he was quick to get out to defend himself. He was perhaps sleeping metaphorically asleep and then woke up and threw his shoes on and stood in his vibration of truth, love, and light. And now he's got these people that are coming up after him, but yet he's still on top of the situation and where he needs to be. So that's what I got out of this reading. The most important thing is, you know, just in brief, and there's probably a lot more than I'm missing, but the synchronicity of having the moon on the day of the full moon was what prompted me to put this part out to everyone. So we have this card symbolizing going within and representing basically many of us as introverts. This card illuminating the dark and showing us about the importance of our dreams and intuition. And this card showing us the importance of standing within our truth and in the vibration of truth, love, and light. So I'm going to leave it off at that for our YouTube followers.

Kubwa, tu kizumze maswa liya burudani apa Kenya, fiyo a big fish, vi fi bro. Asante, san. Shukran, shukran, shukran. Kwa ili naibia kujiwa na muneza tu ambiwa na julekana kabana ni? Okay, kumadiya na ito Mutuma, Mutuma Vincent, na waku kuwa Kampunya Distribution, Lofanya Music Distribution niya. Ya. And of course, lobe kujiwa kwa master klasi anari ya mukami. Yes.

To me kuwa, I think, na, I think, to hit a photo opportunity kama easy, I think in the entertainment industry, as it was much. So I think it's a, it's a very, you know, good starting point. Na, kama bila uliwa na, I think ili kuwa pwasa niwa muneza maswa li to me kuwa na exchange of learning moments. So it was really awesome, ya, ya. And of course, tu kizumze ya kusumze, Mutuma tu me kuwa tukuna na Panya Kazisafi Pale, you are promoting the Kenyan entertainment industry and also holding other artists visuru and delay kimziki. Na, kwa ili kaza muna Panya?  Ya.  So sa zinginu na zapata ndi una, tu onanga papale na wasani, bazen sababu, kuna goals na roadmaps nuitaji kuachiv, zaizo projects. Ya, so it's a very big, you know, ecosystem behind the scenes, sale tu na Tokianga tu, kuma pitch ama online, ya. Ya, ya, ya. Na yo kaziya kwa muna Panya mi kupa texpojari inji ya inji, atmuna pia muna Panya Kazina, wasani kutua kule Nigeria na sana. Sijuyu, wali kupa ta VP ya di, kakwa size, right now you're also known in Nigeria. Ya, na fikiri ya nini, kazi nini niku diya mini ya, nimi toka mbali sana, nili kua actor, nili kua didi kua club, niku kua TV presenter, lakini I think all along nikona pina mama mbe mzeke, so niku kuna niku di sku matukili asiku usiku, usiku kufemoi, tanga mouto nini lakini usiku kufemoi, kwanza lini bat dayangu, so nimi post post fly nini, nikiwa actor kitambu sana. So niku usiku femoi na nili apu di sku matukili asiku, mungu yupo, ya. Na tukusu, okay sir. Okay sir. Mutumat like to know, I'll follow you on Instagram and I've seen so many artists when you were later. What is the strategy you use when bringing an artist to Kenya? Ya, ya. So most of the artists that you know you see me with are under us at our distribution company, so we are in over 34 countries around the world, so aki kudya huku, we take care of them and also was a new way to aki nda lesi maju, kamabutros, akochinetu, niki na mandi, tukona nadia, tukona servants. So aki nda lesi in other African countries, in other European countries, our team there will take care of them, so it's across marketing in the company, ya. Ya, ya. Okay, I'd like to know the challenges you face when you bring artists in Kenya. I mean, tazingine ni kujua, ni maketga niya mani gulga ni mataka kuachiva, siletu akuji, sabaki kuji alafu, ni ni kini ni kitafa nika. So ya, so it's all about, you know, setting is our goals. Kwanza kablata afike, ni aki kudya kwanza mani kwa muna, muna jwa ni ni ki nandelea, kamani interviews, kamani kupanga meeting na tiktokas, ndom push the brand, kamani kuenda kupanga meeting na tifokuzu, kina espiambas unauna, kwa guji airport, nde use a brand on mefika, vi tukama yu view. So you sit down with the team, plan these things ahead of time, ya. Ya, ya. And of course, talking about you working with artists, kumekwana hi debate kubu asana. Kenyan promoters are likely going out there to promote international music than focusing in Kenya. Siji uo neza semani nukusu ilo suwa. Ya. Nafkiri, siyote, na tako alia onafanya iwa, i think ni sababu ya, iwa demand ama kitu ona taka kuachiv. Akin una piya kuna wengine piya uku, kama kina nadia pa kina sevens, una kitu onafanya leo. It was amazing unona. Su kuna wengine, I think they want to grow the music scene in Kenya, they want to help unite the Africans, sababu piya sa zingetu kitaka kugro, atu ta grow Kenya pekiyake. We need to collaborate with the rest of the African countries, we need them to hold our hands so that you can also hold other African countries, lukata twitagi. So I think twitagi tu yukushikana mkono, wali ona kuji apiwa fani, wasani wengi yukuku onafanya na wasani wetu mziki, wasani wetu akinda, iwa kukuna yu exchange, lukata weza kuna layambali. Ya.  Maybe when you promote us, wona wa wasani kada onafanya kiki kina bahati, poze wa watu. Do you feel kiki ni kitu yaku zingati wokifanya mziki? Is it a marketing strategy for the music industry? Ya, ya, ya, ya.  Nani na depend piya na goals. So kuna wengi nendi wa achieve goals, lazima onafanya kitu flani, but then it's world over. So see you, at least you can love Muthuwa Kenya. It's something that works depending on what you want to achieve, but then piya lazima we balance na, na kitu, iskuituna, skuma bila, kamutuwa project siya ne, onona. So napiya kwa wali ona skuma, kuna wali ona iskuma vizuri, stay kwa tadiya, lakini kuna ona fanya vizuri. So na fikiria ni, ina depend na mzani na plania, kini ataka kwa achieva that specific moment. Ya. In regards to your story, Akiki, tumona hii deyana na bahati, enyome kwa kifanya. So many people are saying maybe it's a ruin brand yao, is there a good or bad publicity when it comes to the industry? I think there is no bad publicity. Ya, so I wish them all the best. Kiki ni kiki, ina uza too? Ina uza, wiki tumia vizuri. And of course, let me say I am an artist and I want to venture into the Kenyan music industry. What are the few things I need to have or I need to do for me to make sure that nimejiweka vizuri kwenya ina tumia na industry?  And then kwa consistent, don't give up, kutakuna challenges along the way, na piya kuna commitment. Ya, ok, moku fanya fanya. Ya, ya. Na mutu ma, ilini suali pale, juzi tu li fanya interview na sabato sabato, aka sema kwa mba manamziki wili pola nafa kutafuta manager, watukada wakutag, aka sema, mutu ma naeza fixi story, ako manaja wopoze, sa ii suji kama kipo yu opotuni tu kwa manaja wopoze right now, suji kama naeza jukuwa? Na fikiri wopo poze ni, manamziki mzuri sanu, na fikiriya isa, I think among the talented artists in the country that we have unona, so I think you also work with them, currently you are working with them, na fikiriya ya, I think you can't wait to see what will pull us for you. All right, una fanya kazi na e kama manager, ake ma kivipi? Ah, no, no, no, no. We are distributing his music. Ya, ya, ya. Nadia, poti opotuni tii, maybe u poti opotuni tii kwa manager, ake, can you accept it? Na, nimi kwa mi opoze, nium totalitim sana, so na fikiriya kuna I think nia tu akaichi ni tukai na e aya lafta ni, lakini u redtun na fanya na e, so I think nisa already. Ya. Lakini wala, uka pojiya mi ni kwa ika?  So e kosao, 100%. Mutumad like to know, kuz you work with both local and international artists. Mbona wasa ni wengiwa na kuja, oki tu amziki tu kidogo Kenya ina hit. Lakini, Kenyan sana not supporting their own music. Na other artists, song zawzi na kuja kubluwa pa pa. Na, na fikiriya ni as we discussed on the summit, min Kenya we consume so much content from the rest of the world. So na fikiriya ni umana, Kenya na penda kusapot other countries. So that's why I think you know we are seeing most of the songs from other regions booming in Kenya, but na fikiriya, ataze tu kuna zengine zengiwa ingiwa inje, na kama yabutu Sanjili, menda sana inje, so I think me time to na yo commitment and buy wasa niwa e tu anatiwa wu sana kuwa fanya. Ya, ya, ya. Na, ok. Ono na siriki kuwa ganiwa wasa niwa Kenyan, do piwa wa blue ku enja. Na fikiriya tuni yo tu kutia bidi, na kudia minia, na piwa ku tafta partner na zambawa piwa na kuwa minia. Ya na fikiriya niya man, na winiwa ta kusukuma inje. Ya, ya. Na ilili niswali na mwisha, na ufkos me shia study the entertainment industry, what are the few mistakes zambazo wasa niwa Kenyan na zifanya na mzikiwa wu na kosa ku tamba inje a inch? Na fikiriya siye zila wu wasa ni kabi sa, bili tuni na sama kuwa panya na fikiriya ya kuja kuwa na watro kuwa funza, kuwa minia mzifanya iwi, fanya ni na mziki iwi, so ni nge lo wumu the entire kama system iwi. So sabosa ni msa niya ezi je producia mziki, ezi kuwa studia ki diyandiki yabadu, adye wili yata market, ono na, adye wili yata uskuma inje a Kenyan. So ni nge, sayama i think ni iyo edukasio na kuja kuna edukasio niya kutosha, ya kuwa funza ni ni wafanya ni ni wasifanya. Ya, ya, ya. And you think maybe piya kuna wili masha biki kota ku support wakanya iwi ki oki mziki? Apana, apana na fikiriya masha biki ono support sana, espiashally ono na kwa ukiangaliya YouTube trends, ukiangaliya sportive, ono stream sana mziki. So na fikiriya tu ni, I think to change your perspective tu, ni letu ku, wa sana ni wa letu ku di skuma na ita pick, ita pick ya. Na ofkos, suali lamwesho, kabisa. Prima wana wa sana iwa wabung wana, wana take over the streaming platforms in Kenya. Kulingana na wewa na wali wa sana ni wafanya kazi na wow. Which artists do you feel like how or to in the next few months they will take over the streaming platforms they will be trending number one, two, three, adi wu kule number ten maybe. Kuna wengi sana, kuna wengi sana. Tadja maji na piya. Kuna wengi sana wana fikiriya ni wengi tu na fanya na fasa sa kuna vidyana barbaros ni hewa maju wa zuri sana. Kuna Uyo Butros, kuna Mandy, kuna Willi Paul, wasa ni wengi sana wana Tia Bidi, kuna Breeda, LW, ambaya majiliya na ipenda remix na fanya zuri sana wana. So na fikiriya ni wasa ni wengi wakeni wana Tia Bidi, kuna Naidens, kwa wengi wana majiliya ipenda latino ambasa ni wakeni waka neto latino. So na fikiriya ni yoku sewa sana wakeni wakeni wana Tua mziki sana so ni yoku iskuma ya. Akin ni wana tu weha, trenda tu ngi pale, namba one pale? Nga fikiriya, kwa tu na trendu kukua ho? Wele wana trendu kueitu. Lakin ni ya na fikiriya nipole pole tu. Kuli kwa na yo I think a bit over, kuna wakeni wasa ni waku Tua mziki lakini sewa merodi kutua. So I think in the next kama manzama tu Tua pikiya. Asante asante. Ya ya, fresh fresh. Thank you.


We have many updates Freedom Family! Starting with a new channel banner on Freedom Central. Here it is behind me. Do you like it? Tell me in the comments below. Now the new update is on Music Factory. We have a 24-7 live stream going on right now which you can enjoy. Here it is. Let me get out of the way so you can see that some of you have already discovered this live stream while we were testing it. Come over to the live stream. The link is down there in the description below and chat with us. The entire Music Factory catalog is available for you at www.musicfactory.tm and as you can tell you can use this music in all your videos for free and live streams. 125 of you filled out this form behind me applying to join the Crypto Family. Click that I where I introduce the Crypto Family in case you don't know what that is and I promised I would get back to everyone who left a meaningful response in this form. Now apparently lots of you are interested to join Crypto and get part of mining, earning money, replacing lost revenue that will happen when you many of you get unlinked on February 20th and this week I will be getting back to all of you who left a meaningful response to this form. Thank you so much for your interest in Crypto and let me show you our Crypto Miner. This is my Windows desktop with a shiny new Crypto Miner icon. We're still working on the logo, it's not going to be the Freedom F, don't worry. This is it. It lets you sign in with your Freedom account, lets you start and stop mining. It lets you configure if you're going to be only mining while idle or to auto start mining. You can do logging and read a little bit about. It detects I have one CPU and one GPU. I can look at my mining details to see exactly what hardware is being used for mining and I can benchmark my hardware so it'll tell me which coins I should be mining to maximize revenue for the hardware that I have which will be different for each one of you who will be running this software. We will be releasing this to a select few Freedom Partners who've said they really want to test this software because it's still in beta. We hope to launch it right around February 20th. Many of you asked how much money will you make using our Miner software? I don't have those numbers yet guys because one it'll depend on the kind of GPU and CPU you have and two it depends on how long you run the software how many hours a day. Many of you also asked if you can keep the cryptocurrency instead of receiving cash after mining. Yes you will be able to. In the first version of this crypto miner we will only give you the ability to cash out in US dollars but in future versions you will be able to keep the crypto if you choose or transfer it to your own personal wallets if you have them. Do you have any other questions regarding the crypto mining? Ask us down there in the comments below. We do our best to reply to every single comment. I also asked you how does music help you grow on YouTube and many of you replied in this form behind me. I also said we would present this to YouTube in person and I did. We met with YouTube on Thursday last week and I showed them these responses and we will now summarize them and present specific cases of how music helps you grow. Have you already prepared case studies? Send me down there. Send me links to any Google Docs or presentations you have that show specifically how music helped you grow because that's now my task to prepare a clean presentation to YouTube because freedom will present in the YouTube USA headquarters of Freedom Partner Day. Currently it's scheduled for sometime in April where I will travel to San Bruno in the US. We have two months to prepare and that's partly why I'm asking you questions like this so we can make the best possible presentation to the internal YouTube staff.

I want you to leave it warm. Hello guys, welcome back to another vlog. Happy Sunday. It's Sunday night, it's like 10.30 almost. I just finished watching the season two finale of Euphoria. I'm not gonna give away any spoilers, but it was a pretty sad episode. I enjoyed it, it was a good episode, but there is a part that's pretty sad.  Every Sunday watching Euphoria and talking with my friends about it. Anyway, I just feel like I've been in a little bit of a rut and this just always happens to me. I feel like every few weeks, I just end up getting back into this cycle where I just feel like kind of blah and very stuck in my head. That's what's been happening with me a lot lately. I've just been really in my head and I feel like I haven't been as productive as I want to be and as focused on just everyday real life shit because I don't really know how to explain it exactly, but I feel like I've just been spending a lot of time on my phone, just mindless scrolling and that kind of thing. So this week I figured it's gonna be a fresh week. Tomorrow's Monday. I want to just get a fresh start and it's also gonna be the start of a new month. I think Tuesday is the first of March. So it's just like it's the perfect time to kind of like hit the reset button a little bit. So speaking of that, I want to jot down a list of all of the things that I want to get done this week so that way I can just kind of like knock them out as the days go on. Oh, I need to pay my rent. Can't forget about that. All right, so it's probably the most important thing. I'm gonna do that tonight actually before I go to bed. Then I have a nail appointment on Monday. I also need to clean out the fridge and then I need to grocery shop. I wanted to clean my car. I have to edit the podcast for this week. Then on Tuesday I have a wax appointment. I have laundry to do. And then I want to film my furnished apartment tour finally because my apartment's been completely done now for almost a month. Okay, I think that is everything that I wanted to get done this week. Now I need to put all these dishes that I have in the sink in the dishwasher and just kind of like tidy up in the kitchen a little bit. Let's clean up the sink area real quick. Hello, good morning. It's the next day. I got a little bit of work done this morning. Now I just got ready. I'm gonna leave soon for my nail appointment. I'm very excited because I'm gonna change it up a little bit. I've been doing this same length and shape for a few years now and I love how they look. I love the shape of them so much.  I don't know, they just have been getting annoying. I feel like stuff's always getting like stuck under my nails whenever I'm like putting lotion on I always have to like pick the lotion out from under my nails. So I have just had the urge to chop them short and I was randomly looking at an old picture of me from years ago and I had these short lime green nails and they were so cute. So I wanna do that again this time.  So I think I'm gonna go green. We'll see what options they have. And then I really need to go to the store because like I was saying last night I need to go grocery shopping. That is on my list. And then I also had made a list of a couple other things that I need like toilet paper, razors, et cetera. Here's the before, very grown out. The clip that I got on my phone picked the color up accurately but here's how my nails turned out. I mean, it feels really good to have short nails. Like this is amazing. My hands feel so clean. I don't know what it is but when my nails get past a certain length no matter how clean they actually are like something about it just feels dirty to me. I don't explain it, I don't know. But it feels good to have them short but looking at them I'm like, I don't know. I mean, I feel like it kind of makes like my fingers look a little bit shorter and stubbier maybe. I am just obsessed with this color. It's literally like highlighter lime green. But I thought let me do a little Walmart haul. I went to Walmart because like I said it's a little bit cheaper there than Target and it's also closer to my apartment. Target would have been like a little bit more out of the way. Oh my God, every time I'm in there I just think to myself, wow, I should have went to Target. Like I don't Target. I feel like I could walk up and down the aisles for hours and I just love being in there. I love looking around. I can get a Starbucks and just, you know, peruse. But Walmart, when I'm in there I feel so stressed. Even if it's not busy like it wasn't busy today there's no reason I wasn't in a rush but just like my blood pressure levels I feel just rise when I enter a Walmart. And I just like couldn't get out of there fast enough. But I got the basic things I needed. Toilet paper, paper towels, some groceries. And then I did need some more candles because I love candles. I light them every day and I was running low. So I saw this one and first of all I just love how the packaging is so plain. It's from Better Homes and Gardens and the scent is warm leather and amber. Oh, it just smells so good. It's such like a cozy masculine scent. And then I got this one also from Better Homes and Gardens. It's double sided, which is pretty cool. And they're completely separate. So you could just light one side if you wanted to. One side is moss and then the other side is mahogany. And again, just like masculine smells really good. And then I got some sunscreen spray because I was walking past the sunscreen and I'm not sure if I have any at the moment. Always good to have that. And then I needed some more razors. So I just got these store brand ones. And then I saw this lip gloss shade and I just needed to get it. This is the Maybelline Lifter Gloss, which I have one of these in a pink shade already. And I love it. It just makes my lips look so juicy. Oh yeah, that color is beautiful. So yeah, that's my little Walmart haul. Oh, I also got a plant. I saw these outside and I really wanted a hanging plant for my balcony because I have little hooks out there. So I feel like I just, I needed a hanging plant, right? Yeah, I'm not gonna be able to reach that. I need to get the step ladder. So cute. I have a second hook up there too. So I mean, I definitely feel like I need two. I was gonna get a second one, but I wanna see how this one survives first because sometimes the wind gets real strong. And as you can see, it has knocked these plants over. So I'm scared that that one is gonna just go flying off. So I don't know, we will see. I'm gonna keep an eye on it. It seems pretty secure up there, but I don't know. Okay, since I am on a roll, I'm gonna do some laundry. I don't have too much to do, just one load. And then I have some towels that I washed yesterday that are still in the dryer. So need to put those away. But I wanted to give you guys an update on the laundry detergent that I showed you in the last vlog, the Glamorous Wash Diva from Tyler Candle Company. At first I wasn't sure if I liked the smell, but I think it was just because it wasn't what I was expecting. And I don't really know what I was expecting exactly. I don't know, it was just different and also very unique. I feel like a lot of times when I smell certain things, perfumes, candles, whatever, it's familiar.  But this, I can't pinpoint, I don't even know like how distinctly to describe it. And I think it just like kind of threw me off a little bit at first, but now that more time has gone by, I actually do like it. Do I think it's like the most amazing, like my favorite scent in the entire world. I've never smelled anything better. No. Will I be repurchasing it? Absolutely not. If it wasn't so expensive, maybe, but for the price, no. Like I really just got it because I wanted to try it. I know that they do sell like a little sample size of it. So if you're interested and you want to try it out and see what the hype's about, smell it for yourself. I would just get the little thing first before you decide to really splurge because you might really love it or you might be like me and be like eh. If I got the sample size, I definitely would not have purchased the big one. I'm gonna record so many vlog clips in this exact spot. It's kind of become like my confessional. By the way, anybody else have this like irrational fear when your shower curtain is completely closed? Like I just opened it to get my cleanser out from the shower and I'm just like terrified that somebody's just gonna be standing there. And I know that that just doesn't make any sense because how could anybody get into my apartment? Like I've been here the last several hours and if somebody was here, my dog would know and go crazy but still, I don't know. I just, my heart was racing a little bit for a second there. But I'm just washing my face because I desperately need to wax my lip. I've been noticing that it's needed waxing for a couple of weeks now and I just keep forgetting about it until I go to put makeup on or I take a selfie or something. And then I'm like, oh, I straight up have a mustache right now. Oh my God, my favorite part of the day, hot wash cloth. It's the best. So this is what I'm gonna be using to wax my face with. I used to have like a wax pot and the whole like professional setup but honestly, this is just so much faster and easier and less messy. So easy. All you have to do is rub it between your hands to warm it up, peel it. Oh yeah. I don't know how well you can see that, but. Luckily the hair in my face isn't super dark. It's mostly like peach fuzz but it definitely creates a little bit of a shadow. And when my makeup clings to it, it's pretty noticeable. I feel so much better today though, compared to how I've been feeling the last, you know, a few days, couple of weeks. I just feel like lately, what I've been experiencing is, I don't know if it's like ADHD, which I've never been diagnosed with but many people have told me they think I have it and I do identify with a lot of the symptoms of it. And I definitely have anxiety. I've been diagnosed with that. So I don't know if it's like one or the other or a combination of both or what, but I feel like if I'm not constantly being stimulated like mentally and physically, then I just like my mind wanders a lot and I just like daydream a lot, I guess.  So my mind is gonna go find something more exciting and kind of live there. And I just like keep having these moments where I'm just like mindlessly scrolling through my phone or I'm like have something on the TV but I'm fully not paying attention to it. Like I am just, my body is here but my mind is completely in a different place. Let me know, comment down below if you can relate. But yeah, I'm trying to force myself to be in the moment, be more productive. And I mean, so far it's worked today and I feel really good. I feel like I got a lot of things on my to-do list accomplished already and this is just the first day of the week. So I'm looking forward to the rest of the week. The weather's supposed to be really nice too which I feel like always helps. It always like puts me in a good mood and makes me more excited. Like when the weather, this past weekend, the weather was like chilly and really gloomy and rainy. And so I was completely checked out like the entire weekend pretty much. Anyway, I am gonna go to bed now. Meanwhile, he's like ready to freaking go. He's got all the energy in the world. Are you taking out all of your toys? What is going on here? Why are you taking out all your toys? Excuse me, it's time for bed, okay? Yeah, that's right. Bed time, very good. Don't mind the noise in the background. I am descaling my Nespresso machine but I wanted to open a package that I just got. Well, I got two packages actually. You guys already know that I love these Amazon. Now I don't have long nails anymore so I need scissors to open them. I love my Amazon pillow slides. They are so comfy and I had them in nude. So now I got some in black. These aren't the exact same style. They're dirty because I wore them to the beach and I have to clean them. But this is the original pair that I had but I am not sure. I don't know exactly the brand. These don't have a name or anything on them because I know I get questions about these all the time. Literally just search pillow slides on Amazon. There's so many that come up. They all look very similar. I just go based off of whichever ones have the most reviews and the best reviews. They feel just as comfy and squishy as the other ones do. I just love these just to like, you know, throw on real quick if I have to take Benny out or if I'm going to the beach or something like that. And then the second thing that I thought is a magnetic screen. I'm going to wait to set this up a different day because I honestly just don't feel like doing it right now but I love being able to leave my balcony door open.  So I wanted to get that so I could still leave the door open but not have to worry about any bugs getting in. And most of the ones that they have on there and again, this like, I literally just went on Amazon and I just looked for magnetic screen. And there were so many different options. Just looked at which ones had the most reviews and the best reviews. And most of them were black but I saw that there was a white one which I thought would blend in and match better since the door and the blinds and curtains and everything over there is white. Also, I had no idea that you could connect your Nespresso machine to Bluetooth and there's an app on your phone. These things are crazy.  They're very cool. There's a reason why they're kind of expensive. What's cool about it too is it tells you when it needs cleaning or if it's having some kind of issue like it will tell you what the problem is. So that's very helpful. Success, the machine is now working and I just remembered that it's Tuesday. So that means there's a new episode of how I met your father. Honestly, I really, really liked the show the first few episodes, but it's like kind of starting to get to a point where it's just like a little bit too corny. Like some of it is just kind of cringe and I'm like, hmm. And I wish the episodes were longer. Only like 20 something minutes long, but it's still a good guilty pleasure. I'm still enjoying it. So I am going to watch the new episode of this while I have my coffee and then I'm going to start to get ready because I have a wax appointment in a couple of hours and then I might end up cleaning out my car. I'm glancing over at my list now. I really got a lot of things done and I just cleaned the fridge out while my machine was descaling. Yeah, I don't know, we'll see. It might end up just being like a chill day. But anyway, I'm gonna go watch the show. I will see you in a little bit. Getting ready to head out. I just did like some very light natural makeup. I did the Makeup Forever Powder Foundation and then I just threw on like a little bit of light bronzer and blush and this is the blush that I used. I love it because I feel like it's one of those colors at least on my skin tone where I can kind of use it as like a bronzer or a blush and it kind of just gives me that type of color. Like I was just out in the sun and got like a little bit pink. This is the L'Oreal True Match in the shade W5-6 Subtle Sable. And then just ran some brow gel through my brows and that's it. I'm not even sure if I wanna do mascara or not but now I was about to do my lips and I wanna use that new lip gloss I got yesterday so that we could try it out and see how it goes. I mean, it looks like a pretty color so hopefully it looks the way I was envisioning on my actual lips. So I'm gonna use Mac Stripped Down as my liner. I have this like really rigged ghetto set up right now. And then this is that lip gloss I showed you yesterday, the Maybelline Lifter Gloss in the shade Amber. This is exactly what I was going for and how I was hoping the color would look. I don't know how I feel about it with this light kind of makeup. Normally when I'm doing something like this, I'll just throw on like clear gloss or something but I think with like a full face of makeup, this color will be gorgeous. Like with a little bit of like a gold on my lid or something like that. I still need to figure out what I'm gonna do about my hair.  I love these jeans so much from Target and then this little button up sweater thing is from H&M. I love how my nails pop so much. Look at that. And then I'm gonna wear my white vans. I think the last time I washed my hair was Saturday. Today is Tuesday. So normally I would wash my hair again either like today or tomorrow but I didn't really wanna be bothered with doing that today. So we're just gonna put a bunch of dry shampoo in it and try to just kinda work with it and make it last us another day. This is the Not Your Mother's Beach Babe dry shampoo by the way. I love it. It works really well. It's a texturizing dry shampoo so it adds a little bit of texture and it's toasted coconut scented so it makes your hair smell really good too. I usually spray it on my hair day one right after I finish styling it and that helps to prevent it from getting greasy as quickly and then throughout the week usually by like the third day I'll spray a little bit more. I have a video all about dry shampoo and I share like little tips and tricks so I will link that in the description in case you have not seen it and would like to because I remember when I was in college when dry shampoo like first started becoming popular I had no idea how to use it properly and I just, I didn't like it. I felt like it just wasn't working well for me. I always would get a white cast and it just like, I don't know. It didn't seem to be doing what it was supposed to do and now that obviously I have way more experience and I know what I'm doing it's like the best thing ever could not live without it type of thing so it really is all just about knowing how to use it properly though. Honestly, I feel like my hair feels dirtier than it looks. Doesn't look too terrible and my curls have held up really well. I haven't like re-curled it or done anything to it since Saturday when I first washed it. So not too shabby. Back in the bathroom spot.  I actually had something from Ulta that I wanted to return so I stopped there after my wax and looked around a little bit and I ended up getting some more stuff. What else is new? I returned, I think it was like two vlogs ago I got the Benefit eyebrow pencil and had like the three little tips to it and it was supposed to give like a microbladed kind of effect and I really feel like it didn't like the product didn't go on bold enough. It was like so, so soft, which is fine but you couldn't even really see like the three different strokes.  I was scared that it was gonna dry out and not, like it just didn't feel worth it to me. I didn't love it enough. So I returned that and then I wanted to get some more brushes because I recently got the Morphe M6. It's just like a flat buffing brush and my makeup has been going on so flawlessly when I wear liquid foundation and it is 100% because of that brush. So I wanted to get a second one to have as a backup but of course they were all out but I saw this one instead, the M439 and I thought this looked pretty nice too. This one I plan on using for powder. So we will see because it's still pretty dense but it's a little bit fluffier and I just feel like that would work really nicely with powder and then I also got this Elf Precision Airbrush Blender which I thought looked really nice for cream blush, cream bronzer, stuff like that. Like I usually will apply it to the back of my hand, dip the brush in it and then apply it to my face like that and then I got this Morphe by Avani Gregg Low Glow Face and Body Illuminator. If you can see I rubbed some on the back of my hands when I was in the store. I thought this would be beautiful. You could put it under your foundation to add a glow or you can use it as like a liquid highlighter and then also like put some on your body like in the summertime if I'm wearing like you know a little dress or like a more low cut top like putting the highlight on my chest, on like my collarbone, tips of my shoulders to just give that pretty glow. I am very excited to use that. A lot of brands make similar stuff like that so. But I actually had applied that to this hand and then I applied the Fenty one to this hand and I was looking at them up close and they look identical like completely identical but the Morphe one was $12 and the Fenty one I wanna say was like 27 or something like that and then I stopped at Target because I wanted to get a loofah on a stick because I have a really hard time getting my back in the shower and I was looking for this when I was in Walmart yesterday but I couldn't find any so just stopped at Target since it was close by to where I was. Anyway, and then from the waxing place I got more serums which I showed you guys a couple of vlogs ago how I have been using this oil. Right, it's an oil? Yeah, it's technically a face oil but I have been using it on my arms to help with the cellulite and tighten up the skin and that stuff works in miracles so I bought two more bottles of it just to stock up to make sure because it's on sale right now where I get my waxes from and this is like their waxing the city brand which I tried finding online I don't think you can order it online but I'll link a similar one that I can find for you guys. I can't promise it's gonna work as well but it's amazing. It's just a plant-based retinol alternative and it's supposed to just help with tightening and smoothing the appearance of any kind of like lines wrinkles from that same line they have an eye cream and I actually have been needing a new eye cream so I decided to get this one to try because I mean, that oil is amazing so I'm sure the eye cream is gonna be just as good so I'm gonna put this stuff away really quick and then I'm gonna go down to my car because I'm just really in the mood to clean it right now Wednesday, I'm feeling really good I did some self-tanner last night, washed my hair and it's a really beautiful sunny day out and I'm feeling really good. My anxiety was kind of high this morning when I first woke up but then as soon as I went outside to take Benny out just breathing in that fresh air and like feeling the sun I was like, ooh, okay, it's gonna be a good day and it really just calmed me down so I am about to get ready because I promised some friends I would help them out with some stuff. The first thing that I'm doing this morning my one friend that I talked about in the last vlog who is opening up an online boutique she got all of her clothing items in she was trying to figure out who should she have modeling the clothes and I was like, well, if you could get like a variety of people that you know, that would be really cool so that way people can see the clothing in a few different body types and different sizes and stuff so she asked if I could come and just model I think like one or two pieces so I'm gonna go over to her place to do that so she can just take a couple pictures of me wearing some of the pieces and then after that, I am going over to my friend's house and I am doing her friend's hair so it's like a friend of a friend I don't think I'm gonna be doing anything crazy she said that she got it done somewhere else and it's a little bit more brassy than she would like so she wants to tone it so I need to see what it looks like in person first and see what exactly we can do with it if you didn't know, if you're new here I actually am a licensed hairdresser I was doing hair in Pennsylvania and then I moved down here a couple months ago to North Carolina and I got my license transferred so I am licensed in this state but I just have not been taking hair clients because I've been doing social media and YouTube full time and still trying to decide when if I wanna go back to working in a salon but in the meantime, and I know a lot of you guys suggested this too, which I mean, yeah, it's perfect right now I've just kind of been doing friends or friends of friends hair at home just to kind of give me that little fix because I still love doing hair and I know some people are like, oh, we'll just do it part time I was doing it part time but even doing it part time, it's still a lot and then when I'm also trying to do YouTube at the same time, like it's a lot on my plate at once I felt like when I was doing that I really had no social life and like no free time for anything which I didn't mind at the time, I guess because I was enjoying what I was doing but right now I feel like because I'm in a new place like I would rather have more free time to just enjoy live my life, you know like meet people, go out and do things and then once I get to a point where I feel like, okay I'm fully settled here I wanna start doing hair in a salon again then I will but I'm just going based off of what I want to do there's no point like financially I am good there's no stress which I'm so grateful for so I feel like if I don't have to go back to doing hair right now then why force myself to just because I feel like I should do it or I feel guilty or whatever, you know so my whole goal in life like even when I was younger before I really knew what I wanted to do for a career all I knew was I just wanna be happy and I don't want to live a life where I am working to live or living to work, whatever the phrase is like I don't want my whole life to just be consumed with work like I wanna have financial freedom and I want a flexible schedule and I wanna be able to work for myself and choose when I do and don't work and if I wanna take a day like today where I just wanna be out and hang out with friends and not have to work I wanna be able to do that and when you're taking clients yes you have flexibility in the sense of if you are able to make your own schedule you can block out time if you want and you can choose when your schedule is gonna be open and whatnot but once you have a client booked you can't just wake up in the morning and decide like oh it's a really beautiful day out I don't wanna work, I wanna go to the beach instead but doing social media I can do that I'm just enjoying my situation right now and I'm trying to make most of it and I keep telling myself like anybody can go to cosmetology school and become a hairdresser but this opportunity that I have like this little bit of a following that I've grown over the years this hobby I once had that I've now been able to turn into something that I can survive off of this is not an opportunity that everybody has so I would be stupid to not take advantage of it and who knows how long this is gonna last you know so I may as well just do this for as long as I can I can always go back to doing hair hair will always be around as an option for me that was like a long tangent just to say that yes I'm going to just be doing like friend's hair on the side here and there just to kind of like get it out of my system so if I ever feel like oh I miss doing hair I can still do it for the fun of it but not like burn myself out and get super stressed about it I am gonna put this bathroom on because I'm about to do my hair and I hate when I spray product on my hair and then it gets on my skin it just feels gross so I'm gonna put this on as protection I'm gonna be using the Kenra Color Maintenance Thermal Spray it's a medium hold hair spray but also a heat protectant in one so I spray this on my hair first it gives me the heat protection but then it also helps the style last so each section that I do I spray with this first and I'm using this Cricut Curling Iron it's a one and a quarter inch size barrel I believe and I'm just gonna curl everything away from my face leaving the ends kind of straight I did a tutorial on this a couple years ago I'm thinking about doing an updated version comment down below and let me know if you would like to see that but yeah that's all I'm gonna do I'm gonna put on some music so I can like vibe out while I do this and then after everything's curled I will show you the last step I can remember this song everything is curled I wait for it to completely cool because if you start messing with it while it's still warm then it'll fall flat and it won't hold the curl as nicely and sometimes I will spray additional hairspray sometimes I don't it really kind of depends gonna hit it with a little bit of hairspray today I mean I guess why not this is the Kendra Volume Superhold hairspray I'm just gonna put a little bit just a tiny bit because I feel like if I put a lot of hairspray in my hair especially now that it's getting longer I've found that it gets tangled more like I don't know the hairspray just kind of makes it a little more dry so then it just like especially the back section here it just gets like really tangled now that everything is cool I'm gonna take the Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Dry Shampoo the same one that I showed you guys yesterday I love this stuff and like I said I usually apply this to day one clean hair so freshly styled before I even like brush out the curls or anything I'm gonna take some of this and first I go through and hit it up the root and I go section by section and just do a little amount and as long as you just do a little bit and you're holding it at a far enough distance you won't get any kind of white cast the key is like at least a bottle's length away then once I've sprayed it all at the root I'm gonna go through with my fingers and just very gently pull the curls apart and then I'm gonna take more of that dry shampoo because it's a texturizing dry shampoo I use it as a texture spray as well and I like using this because I feel like you can't really overdo it you know like it doesn't feel gross in your hair it just makes it smell good it gives it that little bit of texture which gives it some more hold but it doesn't get like crunchy or dried out feeling and then I just give it a little jouge let me know if you guys want a little bit of a more in-depth tutorial on this but that's how I do it I am gonna put on just a little bit of light makeup very similar to what I did yesterday probably the exact same thing actually I was about to head out the door and almost completely forgot to bring like my color bowl and the stuff that I need so let me grab a little bag very professional around here I'm not gonna worry about actual products but I'm going to bring my bottle a bowl brush because I'm not sure if I'm gonna need to do a shadow root situation or what exactly the deal is so I'm just gonna bring both options in case and then I'm going to bring my shears just in case she didn't say anything about needing a haircut but you never know may as well just bring them with me, why not we're gonna bring a comb and a couple of clips and that should hopefully be all that we need let me show you my outfit I'm feeling like a cute soccer mom today for these Adidas track pants, joggers I don't really know what you would call them and then I just have this plain tank that I think is from Primark and my beauty school zip up and then I'm probably just gonna wear my pillow slides the new black ones that I got back in our spot I kind of feel like maybe because these are the lights that are in my bathroom and I kind of feel like maybe I should switch out the bulbs for white lights because I just feel like filming in here is so convenient but I don't love the lighting and maybe if I had cooler toned bulbs it would look nicer anyway, it's currently Friday morning the first friend that I had met up with like I said she opened her online boutique and she actually just launched yesterday so the website is up now she has a few items on there and she actually gifted me a piece as a thank you for helping her out which I'm so excited about and I tried it on already just to make sure that it fit and I liked it but she packaged it up for me and I wanted to wait to show you on camera because I wanted to show you her packaging like how freaking cute obviously you have great taste I'll have a link to her store in the description if you guys wanna go take a look and check it out even if you can't purchase anything right now but if you wanna go follow her social media just to kind of like give her that little support she has this little card in there oh she has these little stickers so cute these little sneakers and the Mario Badescu facial spray and she did tell me that she has a discount code so if you guys wanna use that I believe it's Sam 10 but again I will put that in the description so you'll get 10% off your purchase this is the dress that I got it also comes in a peachy pink color but I just felt like the black is more versatile and also just like more of my taste but oh my god like you think it looks cute in the pictures and when you look at it but trying it on in person I'll put a video of me wearing it so you can see how it looks and it's pretty stretchy like the top is stretchy and the waist is stretchy so I got it in a size medium and it fits perfectly and I like it because it's a little bit fitted up top and because it like cinches in at the waist it gives you shape but then it's like kind of flowy on the bottom so it's super flattering and you don't have to worry about like wearing shapewear or something like that underneath it and the sleeves are also really stretchy sometimes sleeves that like come down a little bit like dig into my arm and it's really uncomfortable but these are really comfortable they're very stretchy and you can wear the sleeves up or you can kind of pull them down to the side which I love them down to the side it's just so freaking cute and I am definitely going to try to find an opportunity to wear it sometime very soon because it's just so cute and I'm dying to wear it so yeah shout out to Sophia thank you so much for gifting me this dress I'm so happy for her it's very exciting this was a good week I got

Welcome to Access a Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey guys, good evening everybody. Welcome to another edition of theaxesatrader.com. Nightly wrap up show, hope everybody is doing okay. So crazy day, right?  So this is, we're 24 hours after the biggest decline since 2008, right? And if you watched the video last night, there was a couple of things going through my mind, right? Obviously, everything's on the table. You go back to the video, we kind of said, listen, can I see a market going up today a thousand points? Sure, again, we went down 2000, snapped back up a thousand, it's not out of the possibilities. Okay, the problem is when we woke up this morning, okay, when I said possible rally up a thousand, I didn't think it was going to come before I woke up this morning. Okay, and when I was thinking about possibly, you know, gapping up to 300 points, we hit supply, we roll over, we go back lower. So I had my game plan, we gap up, I think everything turns around, we go red on the day. And if we gap down, I think there's a washout, we start rallying back up. Again, in my wildest dreams, I didn't think I was going to wake up this morning and see the futures up a thousand points. The one thing that I said right away was anybody who bought the open was going to lose mine. It was a certainty. And any time you get a market that gaps up, especially in a bear scenario, and we've been saying this constantly over and over again, you're going to run into supply. And anybody who bought the open lost money. Because again, here's the market, right, gapped up right into supply, and the cues went red. A thousand points gone, a thousand points out of the money. And now before you turn around and say, wow, it must have been a phenomenal day, right? You had the game plan, you were ready for it, you must have done great. Well, let me say this much, right? Let me say this much.  I had a lot more value yesterday when the market gap down a thousand points to the long side of all things, right? Then I had today on today's session, okay? And if you notice the sell off today off of supply, it was like this. And what I mean by that, it was almost like an EKG machine. And if you saw the spreads on some of these names today, you would have been like, this is absolutely insane.  They kept on spreading down these stocks over and over again. So I was just sitting there and I'm like, I see everything happening. The game plan is working.  So I said, you know what? Let me give the bulls the benefit of the doubt. Let me see what happens here.  Let me remount a very strong stock. It came out with news, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, so cool. So the stock goes down into rising support. I get along the stock, goes up like 10 cents, nothing, right? Goes up like 10 cents. There's a massive reload seller in the stock wind of losing a dime on the trade. Okay, whatever, no big deal. Futures start coming back in, right? Futures start coming back in aggressively. I turn around and I say, all right, you know what? Market's coming in. Here's my game plan. Roku 9680, 9660, if it builds below, it can flush. Okay, no problem. So I get short Roku, right? Now you're going to turn around and say, wow, that was a great trade, right? Great trade. 9660, excuse me, here's the 9660, right? If it builds below, it can flush, right? Stock goes down to 92.75. What's the problem? So I get short the stock and goes down like 30, 40 cents. And then all of a sudden you see this big remover, so much like the EKG machine. So you get this big spike in futures, right? Big spike in futures. And I was like, okay, I don't want to get caught short. Let me take off the trade. You know, I wanted to be losing 28 cents. Again, nothing, right? It's not even a conversational piece. Nothing's going on. I was like, okay, no big deal, right? We start rallying, start rallying, start rallying. And then all of a sudden Roku turns around as the market rallies, that the, that gets destroyed. I never get back into the trade. And then I'm watching the market. I'm watching the market. I'm starting to see things slowly, but surely get weaker, and slowly, but surely get stronger. So I lose some money on Roku, lost a cup of coffee on endbacks. Now I'm just annoyed because I can't figure out what's going on. But my game plan is playing out. So then I get long Apple, right? right? I get long apple and that's fine right? I get long apple and we sell it right into supply all right made back my you know made back my losses but again the market starts doing this freaking EKG machine and slowly but surely I start losing interest because little by little the market I felt like the market was kind of slow playing us. I felt like the market wasn't going down enough and I felt like it wasn't rallying enough so I'm sitting there and I go and I actually made a very very good conscious decision. I turn around I said you know what I don't want a piece of this right this like an hour hour and a half into the into the day and I made a conscious decision because if you guys remember last if you guys remember last last Tuesday when they came out with surprising rates I made some money and then I gave it all back because of the market was just unsettling. There was a lot of there was a lot of technical damage. I said you know what I don't want to this piece I'd rather just sit here I got a couple coffee in my hand I don't want any piece of it and for the next three hours or so you got nothing you got nothing from the tape and the market kept on going up and down and up and down and up and down and this is all in the same candle and again were there things in between to do there was you know Disney went green to red got smacked down and at dollar and a half I didn't trade it again at this point I kind of disconnected myself with the day I really did but the one trade that I knew the trade that I knew that it was kind of my my exit stage love trade okay you see this pivot right here 633 right 633 if it builds below can flush experienced traders only okay Tesla went red on the day okay Tesla went red on the day and because the market was moving like a freaking EKG machine that I just couldn't get I just couldn't get a sense and I got I mean literally got short right here right I literally got short right here and I just couldn't figure it out it was going up a dollar down and down up a dollar down and I'm watching the futures explode and there's reload buyers because it's on it's on an SSR and I'm like I don't want to get squeezed for five six points blah blah blah blah so I wind up covering Tesla literally made a cup of coffee and then the future start tanking and I watched the stock literally go down 25 points so at this point I'm just you know I'm like all right you know I see where I'm beaten you know I see where I'm beaten I'm going to take my cup of coffee and I'm going to go home right I'm going to go home and ironically later I bought this little stock I made some money in this little stock but I said at that you know at the end of the day it's just not for me and at some point of your trading career you have to know you know you really have to know when it's not your day okay whether it's your trading poorly you're not seeing the market the right way okay or okay or it's just as simple as you can't get that technical edge and today was kind of one of those days that I just couldn't get my technical edge okay I couldn't get my technical edge there was nothing about nothing about the day in the first three hours that I was dying to do okay and the moral of the story is I just couldn't get going but that's okay right that's okay we always talk about playing premium hands we always talk about the ability to know when you are faced with an AK-47 as you're holding a butter knife right today I looked at the market the game plan you know played out perfectly I couldn't capitalize I just couldn't capitalize it was too jerky-nerky whatever the hell it is called too big of a spread too many whips and I said you know what let me excuse myself I'm going to stay in the sidelines and I kind of lost interest in the day right I kind of lost interest in the day and at the end of the day you know what I was okay with that because I say all the time again the market is not there to pacify us okay it's not there to you know to entitle us to do anything it's it's there again to separate us and if this was 10 15 years ago I would have kept on trading and trading trading in the morning and out of probably got chopped up and by the time the afternoon came up and we had this really really aggressive reversal right we had this massive reversal all the way back to the upside I would have probably found myself in a very very you know normal situation that a lot of traders are that they're trying to desperately make back their gains they're mentally shot they've burnt their mental equity and the moral of the story is they're probably trading a lot emotionally as much as I watch the market go up 1100 points I know what I'm okay with that you know what I mean and I think at certain at a certain point of your career when you get to that level that the fear of me you know the fear of missing out kind of goes away okay and you're so comfortable in your own skin that say you know what I'm holding that two nine offsuit I know I'm playing against Phil Ivy my opponent on the other side of the table with an AK 47 I'm holding a wooden spoon I just know this is not going to be my day right I know this is not going to be my day and again flat is good up a little bit down a little bit it doesn't make a difference as long as you're seeing the market the proper way as long as you are putting yourself in a situation that you know you did everything to protect your capital protect your mental capital the next day will always give you better better value right the next day will always give you better value and that's the name of the game uh that's really the name of the game it's all about putting yourself in a situation right putting yourself in a situation that I apologize I'm just trading out of something here um the market will definitely put you in a situation that you are going with aggression instead of trading passively and that's the game you know what I mean and that's and that's obviously the game so make sure again no matter where you're trading no matter how you're trading put yourself in a situation that you will always be the predator not the prey so going into tomorrow again I mean what are we going to say technically right I mean what are we going to talk about technically technically you could turn around and make two cases right the first case is this is an inside day from yesterday's move right the doubt was down the doubt was down um what was it that the doubt was down uh 2000 points yesterday was up a thousand points today okay um Trump is speaking at 530 so this is uh I'm recording this ahead uh I'm I'm recording this ahead of the of the announcement uh he's proposing some tax relief on something oh there's been such a long day I don't even remember I think it's payroll tax payroll obviously something uh that's going to help uh to help the economy out again these virus news are everywhere this is this is coronavirus overload this is where I wish that there just wasn't so much news dissemination to it's just overwhelming already it's just incredibly overwhelming and the most important part of this I don't need to know every single time Joe from Wichita, Kansas has the sniffles and possibly has a is a we get it man we get it it's serious we get it but I think manages all these new services are disseminated into nausea already into absolute nausea that you can't blink without a without a headline and it's getting a little bit too much but again that's the world we in again we live in and again you can make all you know the comparisons to the flu blah blah blah 40 million people die from the flu three people die from coronavirus I'm obviously joking uh but but again the problem is we know what the flu is there's flu shots again they're not 100 effective I think this year was like 45 but at least we know what we are this is still the unknown and until we still see the unknown right until we're still in the unknown market we're still going to put put ourselves in a position that the cloud of uncertainties over us so again can we gap down tomorrow on 900 points absolutely and again if it was up to me in a weird way if it was up to me because again I'm going flat pretty much every single day if it's up to me okay if it's up to me um I hope we get a gap down I really do I hope we get a gap down because again the value for the last two three weeks has been to the upside right it just absolutely has been to the upside uh when the market gaps you know 500 a thousand points you're looking for that reversal but sometimes these reversals like we saw today came on one candle like this right and again I don't know about you but but again I can't be in a trade that does this right I know the EKG trade is not for me because again the liquidity sucks the spreads are big and again I'm not going to sit there and paint five six dollars in trade when I can't control my risk it doesn't make sense so I made the I made the conscious choice I got out of the way blah blah blah if you caught these trades congratulations I put in a pivot in the afternoon I put in a pivot today a couple pivots in the afternoon this thing ran up about four dollars TDOC ran up about four bucks on Netflix obviously never got below 350 60 but the upside pivot did 358 needs to build and here was the move on Netflix at this point I was already I was already far removed so here was the 358 50 right 358 bid here and it just absolutely exploded into the 364 area so tomorrow you know I'm hoping we get some sort of uh down open or if we're going to get an up open I hope it's less than 300 points again it's so hard it really is so hard if you're coming in with a game plan when the market opens up a thousand points you you know you have to almost rewire yourself to say to yourself well I'm expecting a pullback but at some point right at some point there could be a macro news announcement macro news analysis going to say it's a blowout the water so today was a very very tricky day and as I say not all thousand point rallies are similar and not all two thousand points the clients are bad yesterday was an incredible day today I wanted to choke myself and I wanted to kind of just end it by around lunchtime so let me give you guys some ideas for tomorrow just in case right just in case we have kind of a follow rally you gotta look at the cruise ships you know gotta look at the cruise ships you know royal Caribbean massive massive decline you know you want to start looking at this range right here if it starts clearing out a range you know maybe you could start you know moving up you know a couple of bucks here you know I like this royal Caribbean let's see what else I kind of like here let me see what else I kind of like here you know Facebook you know Facebook if we continue the rally if we could if we see the rally here again above this channel here if Facebook starts building above this channel it goes two three bucks in the trade there as well let me see what else I like here let me see what else here I like you know I like the airlines if we get another bounce right you know Dallas Semiconductor if it starts clearing out the top of this range right here you know maybe reclaiming that 46 level maybe you could go as well Chipotle again if there's another one day rally against some of these restaurant stocks can't jump back if it starts rebuilding 705 707 area if we get one more rally you know one more day rally who knows maybe goes into the 730s but again again you have to be limber you know you have to be limber you have to be open-minded today was just a day I just you know I just wanted to be over by you know by lunchtime not because it was this massacre day no it wasn't it just one of those confusing I couldn't get a pulse I couldn't get into rhythm in the mark and the most important part is I watched my whole game plan come into fruition and I didn't capitalize it and it sucks but again let that be the worst day possible guys have a great night everybody again tomorrow we should get better value I'm kind of hoping we get a little bit of a gap down you know three to four hundred points I'm just joking any gap that will be good the value will be to the upside and hopefully we'll get a lot more seamless days like we did yesterday compared to today guys God bless and I will see you all tomorrow congratulations for putting in the time to take control of your trading you're

Hey everybody welcome back to my Star Wars channel. My name is David and today we're going to do another book review. Would be honored if you would join us. Hey everybody welcome back to my Star Wars channel. This is the place where I review my Star Wars collection. Things I love about Star Wars and one of those things are the vintage books. Originally when I started doing these reviews I said that I would get all the vintage books the early books. These are the you know pre pre books back from the back from the 90s and I said I would read the books I would read them in order okay and then I would ask some questions about them. Chiefly right are they still good do they still hold up because when all of the new movies started coming out people started saying why are we writing new stories when we have a lot of these vintage books that had great stories and then we should just use those. And so I had never read the old books and I was like let's put that to the test. Let's read these books and see if they still hold up today. I think sometimes we have this idea right or this memory of how great things were in the past but if we were to revisit those things maybe maybe we might have a different opinion. That said I haven't reviewed a book in a while and let me tell you why because I haven't been very impressed. I have not been impressed lately. Last place I left off was in the Timothy Zan Air to the Empire trilogy. I wasn't really getting into that series and I kind of felt like I need something to kind of pick me up and maybe get me excited again and so I decided to jump out of the order and pick up The Bounty Hunter Wars and go through those because as you can see Boba Fett, Boba Fett right? Boba Fett favorite character right? Of course I mean he's probably everybody's favorite character but I started reading these and just hit a wall just felt like man this is this is more of the same just wasn't excited about these either but I want to get into the review first. Let's talk about The Mandalorian Armor. Mandalorian Armor this is from 1998 author is K. W. Jeter. This is from Spectra, Bantam Books. There's 387 pages. The book begins with Dengar, The Bounty Hunter, searching through the wreckage of Jabba's exploded sail barge after Luke and Leia destroy it and he's looking for you know things of value and then he finds Boba Fett alive. Right that was a big deal back in 1998 and then the book flashes back to Empire Strikes Back like around that period where Boba Fett is a freelance bounty hunter and he's at odd with The Bounty Hunter's Guild and so there's another subplot here with The Bounty Hunter's Guild and then another subplot about a gentleman named Quat of Quat. He's the Empire's chief subcontractor for military items and he's interested in the events that have occurred at Jabba's palace. There's also another plot with Bask and Zuckus also bounty hunters who have been assigned by The Bounty Hunter's Guild on a contract and they're going to go after this accountant who's wanted by the Huts. So Bask and Zuckus pursue Boba Fett because he has taken the accountant first and after Boba Fett arrives with his bounty Boba Fett is given a new job and that is to subvertly destroy The Bounty Hunter's Guild from inside and Boba Fett accepts. So we skip back to Dengar and Boba Fett they're in a cave this is you know in present time Dengar then captures a woman who has followed him to this cave and the woman's name is Neela and she explains that she was a dancer in Jabba's palace but she's very sketchy she doesn't seem to have all her memory. Then they jump back to the past again The Bounty Hunter's Guild welcomes Fett into their organization but Bask doesn't trust him. Bask is suspicious and Bask his dad by the way is the leader of The Bounty Hunter's Guild and he lets his dad know that he doesn't trust Boba Fett. There's another subplot with the Emperor and Darth Vader and Prince Shizor who they are trying to also destroy The Bounty Hunter's Guild meanwhile Boba Fett plants a fake bomb on Bask's ship it explodes Bask ejects in an escape pod and then he stranded on Tatooine. Well then Bask ends up killing his dad to take over The Bounty Hunter's Guild but instead of destroying it it fractures into two different groups. Skip back to Emperor Palpatine Prince Shizor and Darth Vader again they're trying to destroy The Guild so what they do is once they see that it's split into two factions they end up placing a large bounty on one of its members hoping to destroy it from within even more. Bask and Zuckas and Boba Fett do a team up and they set out to capture this new bounty hunter and of course the Fett in the present time he wakes up from his injuries eventually in this cave and he teams up with Dengar and the girl in the cave to kind of figure out what happened to him and that's where the book leaves off kind of like with a big cliffhanger and if that all sounded confusing that's because it is. It is confusing. I felt like the stories were all supposed to come together you know how you you read about different things through a book and you feel like well these are all gonna mesh these are all gonna blend I'm gonna figure out why they're telling me this story never happened never happened it really felt like this book was written knowing that there was a book too and they wanted to come to the end of it and and kind of tell you if you want to learn more keep reading and so it doesn't even work as a standalone book because if this were a standalone book you'd be disappointed because nothing resolves right so not only that but I just really found all of the monologuing and long dialogue boring to read there wasn't a lot of action in this I had to labor through this book I did not enjoy reading this book but you know there's those books where you feel like I've got to finish because it's got it's got to get better right I kept hoping it was going to get better and it never did so like I said this is the first book of a trilogy bounty hunter wars and it doesn't end it kind of has a cliffhanger ending the questions that had I had reading this book all the questions that I had reading this book are still questions they've never got answered and so as much as I didn't want to I felt like well I got to pick up the second book right because I'm sure all of my questions will be resolved in the second book the second book you know is going to get better a lot of times I really enjoy the sequel more than the first movie I always like the second film a lot more than the first and so I was really hoping okay this was all the beginning right and now it's going to pick up and it's going to get better in the second book spoiler alert for my upcoming review it doesn't so a couple questions I ask in my book reviews would I make this book canon no you can't make this book canon especially now since Mandalorian has come out and we've learned some new things about Boa Fett so no would I think this would make a good movie heavens know this is a terrible terrible story would not make a good movie at all so that takes me to my last question do I think this book holds up today do I think it holds up today no I don't and I feel like that's that's how I feel about a lot of these legacy books I feel like we enjoyed them back in the 90s but we were looking back through rose colored glasses we don't remember the books in truth and I feel like the pacing on a lot of these books are slow I feel like a lot of these authors don't really know the Star Wars characters and they just they just write generic characters and then just name them Han Solo and Princess Leia but they don't talk like the characters we enjoy especially this Boa Fett does not talk or act like we expect him to act in these books so very disappointed with this so sorry if you loved it if it's a childhood memory favorite of yours tell me down below if I got it wrong tell me down below that you love this book and that I'm crazy for not liking this book oh I can say one more thing the title Mandalorian Armor nothing nothing there's nothing in this book about the Mandalorian Armor nothing there's Boa Fett barely wears his armor through this whole book so why is it called the Mandalorian Armor just to just to draw you in I guess so yeah look forward to my next review slave ship or or or not I don't know hey thanks for watching may the force be with you I'll see you guys next time bye


Hi, everyone. My name is Steph. This is Little Bookish Teacher and today I'm really excited to share with you a children's series that I did not know existed and I stumbled across it and I found copies of the books and fell in love with it. And I should probably have known about this earlier because this is one of my favorite author and illustrated duos. It is Laura and Phillip Bunting and I didn't know they had novels. I have so many of their picture books. I absolutely adore their picture books, but I didn't know. They had some novel length texts and they are very, very entertaining. The series is called The Wildlife and the very first book is called A Berry Long Walk. Our main characters are Wombat and Rue, and Wombat is very much a character who likes to stay at home, doesn't like to venture far, but at the very beginning of this book is very hungry and is in need of food.  And so it is a great story of friendship and perseverance. It is highly, highly entertaining. Laura and Phillip Bunting make references to some very popular children's literature in here as well, which I just thought was the best thing ever. I love when texts refer to other texts. I think it's just a really fun nod to the stories that have come before these ones. The book is full color illustrations with text. It does sit sort of in that juncture between junior fiction and middle fiction. So really for seven to 10 year olds. The second book is a line in the sand. And in this one we meet Quokka, who if you have read Phillip Bunting's book, Not Cute, which features a Quokka, this is implied that it is the same Quokka. It is hilarious. So in this one, it's a very hot day and Wombat and Rue end up sort of burning themselves on the very hot ground. And so they try and find the water, so they're very close to a beach, so that they can cool off and wait out the days, so that the ground cools down. And they come to the beach and they find that Quokka is already there. And Quokka is quite territorial and does not want to share the beach. And in the end grants them a very small parcel of the beach. That's the line in the sand. This is a really great book to talk about sharing and to talk about attitude. It also brings back all of those themes of friendship. Again, it is full color illustrations. It's very funny. There is a lot of humor in these books. They're very Australian. But I think they would be really entertaining stories for kids, no matter where they lived in the world. As always, the illustrations are just absolutely adorable and engrossing. I was just incredibly excited to find these books and now they're some of my favorites. So I will leave links to where you can find out more information about them down below. If you have read them or if you have read any other Laura and Philip Bunting's other books, feel free to chat to me about them down below because I just love when these two work together because the results are always top notch. So if you're interested in me talking about the picture books that I have, buy them. Feel free to let me know in the comments. If you want to let me know that you're here but you don't want to leave a comment, feel free to leave a kangaroo emoji down below. Otherwise, I hope that wherever you're in the world, just staying safe and healthy and I will see you in my next video. Thanks so much for watching. Bye everyone.
