But I'm really trying to, you know, do better. But this is like my first time actually sitting here and enjoying it. Because last time I was like, y'all, I can't eat. But I'm just waiting on him. It's cuter for you, you know. Hi. Good. Water wouldn't include this. Thank you. So I'm gonna look up the videos so I don't know how I'm doing. But the last time I got the steaks and the school goods. But like I said, I'm late. And it was cold. So I'm probably gonna reorder that. So. Y'all, Jeremiah is doing a chemical video. But he's still cute though. What kind of, what is that? Is that alright? I think you got that one day when you were using this to throw on. But y'all, we've been at this, you already know what you want. Or do you want to try something new? No, I don't know what I want. How does the crispy shrimp import for taste? What is that? Is that like a cheese? Oh, I don't get that. Anyways, I'm gonna talk to my friends and... I want like 10 spurts. Right now they don't smell good. It smells like a baby. No. And you know what's funny? I said that because you say my love's in your mouth. I know, they do. I have it on right now. No, I don't.

They're not inviting you to the tea party. They're not inviting you to the tea party. I think I want to get one of those. The black one. I stopped at Target and I sent them to a supporter. Her name was Miracle.   I had to come up here and get my way. Oh, period. You're going to turn up tonight. What you want to cook? Hey, girl. What's popping? I just got my lashes filled. I got a mix now. I got a mix with what is it? D and WD. So I get like WDs in the inner and then like regular D in the outer. Because it just flatters my face better. I like it better. But anyway, because short lashes just don't look right on me. Like everybody's eye shape is different. So yeah, but anyway, I'm on my way to perimeter mall. Y'all, I lost my ebony woods. I have no idea where it's at. So I'm trying to go in this Zara because I know it's sold out in Linux. Because the girls sold it out. Period. And I'm going to see if they have it at the perimeter mall. So, and I want to see if they got this outfit too, because I was on Zara website. So I'm like, okay, like if they, they don't have my size in the bottoms that I want. So I'm seeing if they got them up in here, if they got the outfit. Perimeter mall has way more stuff at this Zara than the one in Linux. Because the girls be buying the stuff up in Linux. And I'm going to Linux later today. Y'all, I hate going to the mall. Like I hate it. Like, ugh.  But I'm like, if they got a ebony woods up in here. Because I really want to film this video this weekend. Because this weekend I really just wanted to focus on filming videos. I have to go home and edit. But um, yeah, I wanted to film video. But I don't have it. So I'm gonna see if they got it. And then what else I gotta do? I gotta go to Trader Joe's.  I haven't been in Trader Joe's in like two weeks. And I need to up some groceries. And they also just came out with their pumpkin. Their pumpkin collection. So I can't wait to get a few items. And y'all know I'll be on TikToks. And the TikTokers be telling me like what to get. So it's a couple things I want to try. So yeah, and then I'm going to go home and get some work done. Saturday we working. And um, put my groceries away. And then later on I'm supposed to be hanging out with Aliyah. And catching up. I haven't seen her in a minute. So, but I really like my lashes. They look super cute. And I smell so good right now y'all. I mixed Baccarat with Suntow 33. I need some more though. I'm really running out of Baccarat. I'm running low. I might as well just get the big bottle. Because like, it's never going anywhere. I love it. And I'm starving. So I'm about to go in this mall y'all. I'm about to put y'all away. If I see one of y'all, I always see supporters when I go to Perimeter. This is why I don't like coming to the mall on weekends. Because watch out. Bag up. Bag up sir. There's two people leaving. So I'm going to get one in this car next. I'm going to get the other one. Fuck.  Clearly.  Like I swear to God I do. Clearly we all trying to get a parking spot chill. And he clearly seen these people go to their car. So I don't understand. But y'all got to be careful with that because I watched this movie. And this man really got mad at her because he beat she beat that him. And then this man done killed like half of the people she knew because of road rage. Yeah, exactly. I was waiting for my part dummy. But anyways. I'm going to end the mall. So I'll see y'all. Get out. And also y'all I get a lot of questions on that. My coupon that I wear. Girl I got it from right here. This fast faced jewelry. And watches. I don't like that they don't bag that jewelry when you buy it. But yeah girl go up in here. And they also can cut your jewelry too. So you're liking. But anyway. Move up in here. Why did I just take my mask off to talk to y'all? I just feel like nobody can hear me. So y'all listen. I went in the mall. And I was like I'm because y'all know I'm really trying to make smarter choices. Okay. So hold on I'm trying to steady my camera. But anyway.  So y'all know our lines long.  And both of them were long. So I'm like they don't have what they didn't even have what I wanted. So I still need to place a order for that. And I'm like since I'm placing an order already online. I can get these items online. And I don't have to wait in line. So that was just the smarter thing to do. Okay sweetie. And I'm proud of myself. Like nah. So once I place my order on Zara. I'm going to show you what I get. I got some cute stuff. Okay. And I'm going on a trip on Friday. So I'm trying to place that order today. So my stuff can come so I can wear some of that stuff. So. But oh my god relax y'all. This car literally did not even let me pull all the way out. Geez. Huh. Let me get out of here. See this is why I don't go to the mall. Oh my god look at that dragonfly. What do they say about dragonflies? Is that good luck? They just whip her. Get me out of here.  Get me out of here. But let me go and turn the jokes. But yeah I'm going to be on my way to the grocery store. And then I'm going home. So I can just chill relax. And be out these people's way. Because what are you doing? Anyways I'm out. Y'all. Jeremiah then dragged me to the Louis store. And it's giving fruit futuristic boy. It's fine. Don't play with him. Y'all guess how much that jacket is. Guess how much it is. It's only $4,000. Okay but I'm telling them to guess. I thought it was 10. But I'm in here getting some sunglasses I've been wanting. They've been sold out. But they just came back in stock. So. And they're really cute. And it's really hard for me to find really good pairs of sunglasses. Cause not that this is so big. So. Yeah anyway. I want to take a picture too. This one. Let me take one. I would say had two. Y'all this is for the archives. I love like stuff like this. He's like he's up there like that.  He's cute too. He's cute? Yeah. I do a trench coat with him. But I was like. Cute. If it wasn't my size. I would wear this in like New York City. Yeah you can wear that here. Why don't mine have something. What? That is cute. I'm crying. This is cute. I like this thing. She doesn't like me. Yeah not her. No she won't sit around here. Let's get out of here. Oh my god they got eggs. Y'all will just tell me they have ebony woods. They got woods. They have ebony woods inside. I'm about to go get it. Yeah I need to go to Zara too. Yeah come on. Do you want this scrunchie? Yeah how much is that? Don't worry about it. No for real. It's not bad. Or I'll get something else. No it's not that. I don't think it's bad. No I'm gonna get something else around that budgie. Another perfume? No. Because we don't need no more perfume. No cologne. No nothing. But this would be good. How much is that?  I think she said like 200, 300. It's not bad. You know um, you know I made texture. To the matching outfits. The bottom six. She makes crunches like that. Exhausted girl. Okay. So yeah I'm gonna show you all everything that I got from the mall and stuff. And y'all Zara, I end up having empty woods. Back in South I'm so happy. But anyways, what was I gonna say? I just got home. I'm tired.  Sorry. That's open.  I'll show you all everything. Cause I got some groceries. And I didn't end up going to Trader Joe's. But oh my God y'all. So I was in Louis and there was this girl. She was the artist for Louis Vuitton. Cause you know, Louis Vuitton will customize orders that are complimentary, right? So this girl, she was customizing a little trunk. And she was drawing it. And I was like, oh my God, that is so talented. I was like, oh my God, that would be such a good vlog. Like her, if she was a blogger, obviously, her designing custom orders for people at Louis Vuitton, I thought that was so dope. I thought that was so neat. She was just sitting there painting. And I was like, wow. And it looked so good. And I was like, oh wow. So me and the store manager were talking like me, Jeremiah, and the store manager. And I was like, it's my dream to work with Louis Vuitton. He was like, oh, we work with influencers like all the time. I was like, oh my God. And there's this one girl, this one, one YouTuber that I watch, girl. And she's so entertaining. And she saw herself.  Like, you aren't doing anything on brand, blah, blah, blah. But the girl that I watch, her name was Emma Chamberlain. I think she's so entertaining to me. She's so funny. I've been watching her for like, I don't know, four years now. The girl works with Vogue, Louis Vuitton. She be flying to Paris and stuff like that. That's like my dream. And the girl has trash mouth. Like she cuts it so much. So I don't understand it. Like, it's crazy to me how, but don't get me wrong. I love the girl. I salute her.  No brands aren't going to work with you, blah, blah, blah. And I just watched her Mad Gala blog. Girl's Girl, she interviewed people at the Mad Gala. And it's crazy how I watched her journey on YouTube. And then she's working with like, Vogue, Louis Vuitton and stuff like that. That's crazy.  Like, no, you don't. If a brand really wants to work with you, they'll work with you. Like, if they like your vibe and like your style of your videos and stuff like that, I feel like any brand will want to work with you. Like, that just motivated me. Like, she's literally at the Mad Gala doing interviews and stuff. And Paris and stuff, working with Louis Vuitton, Louis, Louis. I don't even know how to pronounce a brand. And I'm, you know what? But y'all got this new candle. I'm tired of it. Maple glaze going on. But I'm going to put my groceries away, clean out my refrigerator and clean up a bit. And then I'm going to take a nap. It's only six o'clock. I'm going to take a nap because well, I'm going to start on my vlog. I'm going to start on my video after editing because I really want to look at that footage. And, y'all.  And we just have a lot of catching up to do. That's what I really love. Like, I don't talk to people on a daily basis. But when we do, girl, we just be talking it up and time just be flying. Vibes are there. We just be chilling. So, but yeah, I'm going to do that. And I'll check with y'all and then we'll do like a little haul. And then, yeah, so I'll see y'all in a second. I gotta charge my camera anyways. But yeah. You've been pretty, girl. Chill. Stop playing with her. Stop playing. No, for real, stop. No, you look cute. No. Stop it. You look cute. I wish it was me. So, it's the next day and me and Shayna, wait, what the fuck? Me and Shayna are going to brunch and I went for her. Oh, she's here. I was going to give y'all a little oh, TV. I look cute. But anyway, I'm just chill. I don't have no makeup. Just a real concealer and she's beefing. Everything and try it. We could do that if you want and share. Yeah, taste says everything. I told, I told my camera on my blog that I'm breaking my toes for James. Thank you. How'd you get the curls like that? Is that the natural state? The natural state, baby. Oh, wow. Shopping beauty. Oh, Shopping beauty. Shayna has her own hair company. Awesome. Make sure y'all go shop. Very good. But anyways, we just pulled up to Toast because she's been wanting to try. So, I have to plug. So... Yeah, this guy's plugged in. No, no, no. No. Okay. So, yeah, we're here. We're starving and I'm excited to eat this y'all. Toast has the best breakfast. Breakfast? Breakfast? Breakfast? Girl. You're like, it's breakfast. Like, oh my God, I can't help it. Y'all know what I mean clearly. Breakfast. People cannot help their accent from different states. Mind your business. They have LA too, but we're waiting in the car. I'm about to go around. If I don't see her, I'm going to give her to the back. But, yeah, y'all, our table isn't ready yet, so we're going to just wait in the car. But, yeah.  I don't know. We don't know how to stop. I don't know how to teach them. I swear. But, y'all, if y'all ever get a chance to come here, you have to come. They have the best mimosas, the best... everything I'm telling you. So... Can't wait to eat. Okay. There's no fuckin' over-design in the classes. No. It is just better.  What you doing tonight? Oh, I'm telling you. Nothing, but I ain't fuckin' with you. Yeah, if I can't write the mimosas. Yeah, but you want... I'm talking to everything else when you're talking with y'all. Hey, y'all. So, I just got home and I just wanted to show y'all my outfit in, like, full effect. Y'all, these pants from my outfit online talk about snatched. Okay? Period. And this is just a skin to body soup. But anyways, I have to edit my vlog and I'm so happy that Shayna loved Toast. It was so good. So, if you... So, if you're planning on coming to Atlanta anytime soon and looking for a burn spot, girl, go to Toast. It's so good. And, oh, I gotta show y'all where I got this today from Zara and the mom. Oh, oh, oh. So, obviously, I got my Ebony Woods because it was at the one at Lenox. So, I was so happy about that. But I was only disappointed because this is the little version.  And I'm like, oh my God. He was like, yeah, you have people up in here coming in here and trying to steal Ebony Woods. And I'm like, that's so funny. But anyways, so, I'm gonna show y'all my first little item from Louis Vuitton. Louis Vuitton. Anyway, so, I got these sunglasses that I've been wanting for a while. So, super cute. I love this little box. Like I said, y'all, it's very, very hard for me to find really cute sunglasses. And I love this logo monogram beta right here. Super, super cute. Like the little Louis Vuitton symbol. And Yara. Yes, yes. These are the one. These are the one. Okay, these are cute. So, I had to grab these. They just flatter my face so much because y'all, like I said, my face is very wide and big and just, so these are very, very cute. Can't wait to pull these out. Fire. So cute. It's the details for me. Y'all know I love me a good detail. So, that's what I got. And then, let me show y'all what I got from Louis. Let me just put these back. Y'all, I'm so full and I still gotta edit it. Hopefully, I get that video about 10 o'clock tonight because, or any kind of bottoms, well, like jeans, like pants from Zara because they don't be fitting my body right. So, I decided to grab these and they look like they have really good stretch on them and it's gonna make my booty look good. And these are like this gray, like satin. I don't even know what to call this. It's a very soft material and I think this is so cute, so perfect for the winter, fall time and you already know, I love a little split detail right here at the bottom. So, and these are 42. So, hopefully, these fit and the cute aqua I'm trying to own right now because I'm full but I know I'm gonna have to get them taken in or something like that. So, and then I just got, I really been into like flair, like flair sweatpants. I haven't been really into like the, you know, the, what's it called, like the end of, like the scrunchie at the bottom sweatpants, I really haven't been into that. So, I just got some more like sweats, pants and this nude color and then they flare out at the bottom. I just been more into these types of pants because I don't know, they just feel like, I just feel like I'm not that I'm mouging but it's not like that lax, you know what I'm saying? So, that would be that. And then I just got another tank top. I've been really obsessed with our tank tops. So, I got this white one, but the only difference about this tank top is that it has this silver type of detail going on on the sides, which I think that was really cute and different. So, and y'all, so yeah. And the Zara and Lenin really impact, like remember when I was telling y'all I had stuff in my hand and I was about to check out and then I'm like, oh, I can place the order on Zara. Girl, the Zara at the Leninx shits on the Zara. I mean, the Zara in that perimeter sits on the Zara in Leninx. So anyways, so yeah, I'm just going to add it and I'll probably check in with y'all later on. And yeah.  Everybody, everybody that came in my house because I got my eyebrows done today and she was like, oh my God, it smells so good in here. It's cooking this. Smells so good.


So I have made a lot of videos over the course of the last three years about note taking software. Almost as many videos as I've made about file managers, but not quite. It seems to be that I'm quite obsessed with finding the best note taking application. And some of that, as I've explained before, is because my primary means of taking notes for the last 10, 15 years has been Google Keep, and I hate it with a fiery passion. All of my notes are there for a very long time. Now, like I said in previous videos, when I talk about notes, about half of those notes can go away. I don't need them. They're old grocery lists and nonsense like that that don't need to be transferred over. But some of the other ones I obviously want to keep, you know, their ideas for videos or their ideas for random things that I need to keep in my head or whatever. And I want to keep them. So I every time I try to find a new note taking solution, I have to think, is this thing good enough for me to stick with for me to commit to transferring all of that stuff from Google Keep to the new thing. And most of the time, in fact, every time so far, it has been a absolutely not I don't have that type of interest in that type of commitment with this particular application. And every time I make a video of a note taking application, someone in the comment sections, usually 10 people shout at me in capital letters, Matt, try obsidian, try obsidian. And I either come back with a, well, that's not open source, or I come back with, well, I tried it and I didn't care for it, which is true. I have tried obsidian in the past. I didn't care for it. But I'll be honest about it and say that I didn't give it a really good try because there were some things about it that just didn't really mesh with my workflow. And I just stopped using it and went back to Google Keep. So I have tried obsidian in the past, but people keep telling me Matt obsidian is fantastic. You have to you have to give it a good try. So I have for the last month, I have been using obsidian full time on both my PCs and on my iPhone. And I have some thoughts. So before we jump into anything, if you leave a thumbs up on this video, I'd really appreciate it really help the channel. But let me talk about what this video is not. This is not a full review of obsidian. It is also not a video where I'm going to go over any of the features. OK, if you want to know the features of obsidian, you're going to have to go search elsewhere. I could be here for days. Let's just get that out of the way. Obsidian has a ton of features. And if it doesn't have the feature by default, chances are there's a plugin that will add it. There are a ton of plugins. We'll talk about more. We'll talk about plugins here in a little bit. But obsidian is not lacking in features. Let's just put it that way. It has a ton, a ton of features, so much so that you're probably, if you're looking for just a simple note taking application, are going to be very overwhelmed. I know I was and I know I have been overwhelmed with a number of features in obsidian, so much so that a lot of times I spend more time tinkering with obsidian than I do actually, you know, taking notes. So that's one thing. Now, another thing that I need to talk about before we jump into the actual meat of the video is that a lot of the stuff that I'm going to be talking about in this video is negative. And I don't want that to come across as me saying that obsidian is bad. Obsidian is not bad. It's a fantastic piece of software. And if you have need of even a third of the capability of obsidian, you're probably a happy camper. I don't have that much need for a lot of the stuff that obsidian does. As you'll see as I go through this video and I talk about the things that I've been using it for, I'm a very simple guy when it comes to note taking. It's why Google keep has been okay for me because it's very, very astonishingly so simple. So let's go ahead and talk about obsidian. I'm going to go ahead and transfer over to my main desktop here and you guys can actually see obsidian. Now, this is not the vault that I've been using. So all of my notes, you guys aren't going to see those things. But and that's fine. But I just wanted to create a vault kind of show you around a little bit. And to talk about some of the things that I both like and dislike. So let's start off as positive as possible. So the UI of obsidian is fantastic. I really, really like it. You can do splits. If you want to use splits, you can have a side by side where you have an editing dock on or an editing bay on the one side and have a like a preview window on the other side. You can do that. You can have a knowledge graph if that's your sort of thing. You can have tabs obviously I have a whole bunch of tabs up here at the top, usually when I'm doing this. So it really does do a good job of UI. Also, if you go to the settings, the settings aren't horrible. Usually when an application is festooned with a whole bunch of settings and bells and whistles and all this stuff, the settings are a mess. And we know that just go look at the kd plasma settings, they're a mess, because there's a ton of settings and they're buried all over the place and you have to search for things obsidian hasn't been toppled over by the number of settings that it has. It does a very good job of delineating what each section is for. You can just go through these and just edit them all you want and it's very, very good. Okay, so I have good things to say about the UI. I've really, really enjoyed using it over the last month. It is a good UI. Another thing that I really like is the file tree along the side. So when you open a vault, you have all the files in that vault right there along the side and you can create nested files so you can be as organized as you want. It's really, really good. Another thing that I really like is that it allows you to navigate between these things in multiple ways. You can do it from here or you can do it from up here if you want. You can navigate it through it in a couple other ways as well. And it's just a very good way of navigating between notes. You can also link between notes. So if you want to do something like like Xemwiki is capable of or Notion even really kind of you can link between one note and the other that way if you wanted to go to that note you just click on it it would take you to that note. Now I do kind of wish that they would link back to each other but you know automatically but they don't but that's not that big of a deal. You can just create another note and you do that just by doing something like this and then you click that and then you close it or it closes automatically and then you can go back to it just like so. So I like all of that stuff. The linking it has fantastic by the way fantastic markdown capability. I bitch and moan and gnaw on my teeth every time I open up a note taking application and it has markdown support but it's not all the way there like like they have messed up the headings or they you know they don't include the ability to do actual external links. They don't allow you to do pictures or they don't let you do a horizontal line or a line break or any of that stuff. They go part of the way there and markdown support but they always half-ass it. Obsidian does not do that. It's full on full fledged markdown support.  All of it's here in traditional markdown fashion. It's fantastic so much so that I've been basically replacing Kate with this. I actually made my writing folder the one that I used to you know basically write just for pleasure a vault in Obsidian that I can just go to and do any of my fan fiction or original writing or whatever I want to do right. I can go there and I can do all of my writing there. Now I haven't done that for work yet because as I've explained before or explained in the past all of the stuff I have to do for work has to be eventually translated to Google Docs. And unfortunately getting it out of Obsidian into Google Docs is an extra process that I don't really care to do. Maybe I have to go into the file structure find the markdown file that it creates inside the vault and then transfer it over to Google Docs. It's not as easy as it is usually when I'm like in Vim where I can just I'm already in the folder. I don't have to do with any of the vault structure I can just copy it to the clipboard and transfer it to Google Docs that way. So it's not quite as easy or at least I haven't figured out a way to make it as easy. So I haven't done it for work yet but for my regular every day just my time my type of writing. I can do that in here and it's a fantastic markdown solution for all that stuff. So that stuff all very very good. And I foresee myself using it for a long time because a lot of the documents that I have both for work and just regular writing are very large documents and this has handled things like 200,000 word documents very very well. No stuttering like I get in Vim all the time. So it's a very very good markdown solution for writing and for note taking at least on the surface. So those are the positive things that I have to say about it. If it was just that I think it'd be fine but I have some bones to pick. Okay. Things that just don't really suit the way that I want to do things. And that's fine. Not everything has to be the way that I want it. I'm not that I'm a little narcissistic. I'm not that narcissistic. Okay. So everything doesn't have to be the way that Matt wants it in the world. That is just obviously that's never going to happen as sad as it is to say. So I have some some negative things to say about just the way that this does things. And the number one absolute top of the list is vaults. Now I know people swear by the vault system. So let's first before we jump into the negatives talk about what vaults are. Basically it's a directory. That's basically what it is. It creates a directory somewhere on your system or it opens up a directory as a vault and it just appears here in the side. So this particular vault is just called notes and it has all of these directories inside of that vault or inside of that directory. That's really all it is. My biggest issue. My biggest one is that you can't have multiple vaults open up in the same time in the same window. Now you can go down here to the open another vault. You can go here and you can open up another vault this way and then open that up in another window. OK. So be a window side by side. Not extra tabs. Not side by side or you know somewhere over here as a nested vault system or whatever.  I don't want to do that. So I've had some people as I've tutored about this over on Master Done talk about how I could basically create one master vault and put all the other vaults that I have inside of that vault. That would allow me to have all of them open at one time. Basically just putting all the directories into one big master directory. I could do that. I don't really care to do that because I like to keep things separated. I want to keep my work stuff if I'm going to do my work stuff there. I want to keep my notes stuff in one place. I want to keep my writing stuff in one place. I don't want to have all in the same damn directory. It would drive me nuts. It would mess with my organized brain. Right. So that's a huge downside for me when it comes to obsidian. I don't care that much for the vault system. I just really don't. I think that I'd be okay with it if I could have multiple vaults open in the same window. I don't want to have multiple windows open that just drives me bonkers. Now I know some people are saying well Matt you can only use one at a time anyways. That's not true. But at least not true for me. I often have multiple things going on at once. I'm taking notes which would be in one vault. I'm doing some writing in another vault and I have to have them both open either on a separate workspace or side by side or whatever and that's not the way that I prefer to do things. I want them in tabs or in that sidebar over there along here along the side. That's the way that I prefer to do it but that's not the way that it works which is just highly disappointing because that's by far my biggest complaint. Another complaint that I have and this is not that big a deal for a lot of people. But if you don't have eight dollars a month you don't get sync. Now I don't think for the vast majority of the stuff that I would be doing outside of notes I'd care about. So I don't like I don't need my writing or my work stuff to synchronize. All that stuff is going to be on one PC anyways and I could easily very easily take those directories and sync them to another computer. So if I have all my writing on this PC and on my laptop I could set up sync things so that those things synchronize on their own and that'd be free. But for notes I want to be able to sync from my phone to obsidian on my PC. I don't want to pay eight dollars a month to do it. Eight dollars a month is pretty steep to be honest with you. That's the price of basic I mean it used to be the price of Netflix but it's not the price of Netflix anymore. But you understand the point right. It's very very very pricey if you want to enable synchronization right. So I don't think that I'd pay that for that. It's just not worth it for me for the amount of stuff that I'd even use it for. Now I do want my notes to synchronize and I think that I could rig up a solution where again I use sync thing or something similar to that where I synced it from my PC to my phone and then have the vault pointed at the same direction in obsidian and that'd be fine. But that steep price does give me some caution when I because I do think that it would be easier if I could just use the sync that's built into obsidian right if I wanted to do so. And because it's so pricey that I can't. So that's one that's another thing that I had to say about that's kind of negative. One of the things that I do enjoy we're going to go go ahead and kind of transition back into positive here for a second is that it does have full on them support. You can actually use your VRC in obsidian if you want to. And that doesn't require a plug in or anything. It works perfectly well. I love this bit here. So if you you can't even turn them support on without knowing how to close them. It's awesome. Now I didn't do it. And sadly I did not do enough testing to figure out all the responses that this would accept. I just a colon colon Q exclamation point. And that was you know that's the way that it took it. But I'm assuming it because there are 12 other ways of quitting them without writing you can probably use those things. But I'm not sure. I unfortunately didn't spend enough time there to figure that out. I'm disappointed that I didn't but I love this.  The fact that you have to know how to quit them in order to actually even turn it on. Not only is it hilarious but it's brilliant. It's just fantastic. So you it does have full on them support another thing to transition back into negative for a second is that if you turn on them support in one vault it doesn't do it in every vault that you have. What even is that with why on earth is that even the setting like if I turn on them support I want them support everywhere. Every vault that I have if I'm going to have to be forced to have multiple vaults and I'm going to have to have multiple windows open. I want the same experience in every single fault when I change a setting. It does at least for them the them modes up it doesn't do that. So I have them support in my writing vault. I have them support in my notes fault but only because I enabled it in both places. And that's not that that's not the way that it should work. OK. That really bugs me and I hope that they can fix that. But maybe they have it that way for a reason and I just can't figure out why that is why that reason is but whatever. So yeah them support is fantastic. Now let's go ahead and transition into plugins while we're here. There are a ton of plugins but there are a couple problems that I have. So first let's talk about the positive plugins are plentiful. You can go to the browse plugins section here and it just shows you hundreds of plugins. Some of them are duplicates of each other. So they do things in a different way or whatever. But they do basically the same thing. You can basically if you need a particular feature that Obsidian doesn't already have you probably can find it inside of the plugin system including things like chat GPT and adding breadcrumbs and all sorts of stuff. You know from the inane things that don't make any sense whatsoever and aren't all that useful to very, very useful things. So if you're going to create a daily journal or whatever you can have a plugin that will actually create every day for you and follow a specific template if you want to. So that's really cool. So there are a ton of plugins. My biggest problem and this is the same thing with the Vim problem is that the plugins don't transfer between volts like what even is that that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life.  It doesn't take very long but still I've made the effort to go in find the plug in and install it. Doesn't it stand a reason that I want that in every vault that I have or at least I mean maybe some maybe you know traditional Matt here. It's possible that after the video comes on I'll go back spelunking into the settings and find that there is a place here where I can sync plugins and sync settings between different vaults. That probably exists and I just didn't see it. There are a ton of settings so I won't even claim to have seen all the settings so it's possible that that exists. But by default the plugins don't synchronize between vaults. That's weird. The settings don't synchronize between vaults. That's just weird and it's not the way that it should work. It's not. I don't have to install every plugin that I enjoy on every vault that I have. I don't want to do that like that. That's just that creates extra work for me. And I don't want I don't want to manage stuff that much because that means that that means that I have to especially on plugins that I know that I want to have everywhere. I should at least have that option. Right. So I've just went through very briefly and searched for a way to synchronize plugins between vaults. I still don't see it. You think that'd be here on the comedian community plugins page if it exists or on the core plugins because there are some default plugins that are here. But as far as I can tell that setting doesn't exist which is weird and definitely not the way that it should work. Right. So yeah. I like that has plugins. I think that if I were to use Obsidian long enough and actually transition everything over and bite the bullet and either figure out a way to synchronize on my own or actually pony up the $8 a month either way.  It goes back to that initial negative point that I had multiple vaults just is not fantastic when they're not basically managed in the same place. For at least the way that I want this to work is for me just to be able to manage all the settings across everything not have to do with multiple windows not have to deal with knowing where the vaults are all the time having to open them up basically go you know press I'll go back here and show you so I have to do this and then I had to select the vault and then you know whatever I have to do all that every time that I want to open another vault I don't like that that's just creates an extra pain point for me and I don't want to I just want one place for all of my stuff now like I said I could if I wanted to take someone else's suggestion and just make a master vault right and put everything in there all the directories and separate them out just by directory inside of that directory kind of like nested directories I could do that and maybe I will maybe that's the solution because I do like obsidian quite a lot and despite all the negative things that I've said it does fantastic job with very large files so I could do my writing here which would kind of make a one stop shop for me it does a good job of note taking it has all it has full markdown support I can drag I can drag web snippets in I can drag HTML in pictures code blocks whatever I want all into a note in whatever format that I want it has multiple formats for notes so I can do like a Trello style board I can do a table of some kind kind of like notion I can link between all those things it's all fantastic it's a really really good note taking application but the pain points that it has negate all of that or at least the vast majority of it and that's just disappointing for me because I went into this with a negative attitude because I knew that the vault thing was going to bother me I knew it because it had bothered me before but I figured well you know maybe I just didn't give it enough of a chance maybe I didn't take enough time to immerse myself into the workflow to understand what all the it was about to manage multiple vaults together to organize things actually take a whole bunch of notes and have them all in one place and all this stuff maybe I didn't do that but now that I have now a month later I'm still of the opinion that vaults are not the way that I want to have it done or at least it's not managing the vaults the way that would work well with my workflow and because that's true and it kind of filters into every part of the experience obsidian is just not for me and again I can't stress this enough that's disappointing for me because I really do like it I think it's a fantastic note taking application I think it's fantastic Markdown editor it doesn't and I'm not even touching on the knowledge base and all that stuff that it can also do similar to the stuff that notion does like I haven't even gotten into any of that stuff really beyond just kind of briefly touching and I haven't even talked about it so you know it has all this extra features that I haven't gone to gone through it has all the good note taking application features that I'd want outside of synchronization out you know that's not eight dollars a month but that vault problem is just going to be the deal breaker for me so that's it for this video I know I've gone on for a very long time about an application that I'm not going to continue to use but I wanted to do this I think that's important because I think a lot of people are interested in obsidian a lot of people see people say like oh my goodness obsidian is a fantastic application and I wanted to put my thoughts out there so just remember what I said at the beginning obsidian is a fantastic application but now that we've gone through the video it's not for me so that's it for me on this one if you have thoughts on obsidian you leave those in the comment section below I'd love to hear from you you can follow me on master on odyssey those links up in the video description you can support me on patreon.patreon.com

Get ready with me to go on a super secret date for my 2 year anniversary with my mans. So today Harrison has planned out whole day of surprises and if you already saw it I did my day celebrating our anniversary in advance because I know he planned this months in advance so I just wanted my time to take him out but now it's his day. And so far the day started out with him waking me up with breakfast in bed which I absolutely love. There's nothing that I love more than being in bed and eating food so it was a really good start to the day. Also the latte he made this morning was so delicious we just got an espresso machine finally and that really have been changing the coffee game. If you don't have one just get a mini one. I got it on sale it was so inexpensive and the difference in coffee is crazy. So after I woke up I got this email that was a clue to what we were doing today and it said to go down to the mailbox so I went downstairs and I found this in my mailbox which is a super secret document for agent Johnson for my eyes only so I can't really show you guys but it's so top secret it doesn't even have a return address and the reason the backstory behind why today is like this is because I love spy movies and I know it's so crazy to say but we watch one like every day like I love spy movies and I always low key wanted to be a spy when I grew up and I always had like those little gadgets and to be honest I still have my little gadgets so that was really cool of him to play into the whole like top secret agent spy stuff for me to give me clues on what we're doing today. So pretty much in here I had to accept the mission I have a target it's him and there's a little picture attached so I can know who my target is and what they look like and it's so funny because I'm literally the one who took that photo of him now that my liquid products are dry I'm gonna set it with the hudder beauty powder so after I accepted my mission I found this at the door which was crazy because we went inside the apartment together so how did it get there so inside there were essential clues and a little tool that's going to be part of this experience apparently the person giving me this mission is called sneaky mix spy so that's not suspicious at all my mission is to track Harrison and follow him throughout the day and see what kind of spy stuff he's up to so I can totally do that I follow him around anyways and apparently there's going to be a shipment that comes in tonight and I have no idea what that is so I guess I'll just have to wait and see so now I know the theme of today after getting all of these clues so now I know what to do with my makeup and I'm just going to like snatch my face I'm going to do a spy look you know spies who are women are always just so hot and they're just so snatched their makeup is perfect their body is perfect their clothes are per their in heels they can run in heels I'm not wearing heels so I definitely weren't sneakers I own like one pair of heels for weddings only but if I was a real spy I would definitely turn in heels in case I have to go to a gala and like chase some bad guys or whatever you know the usual just gonna make sure that my nose is snatched too I'm gonna use this extra dimension blush because it adds like a little bit of a glow and if I'm gonna be running around chasing bad guys or whatever I might get a little bit glowy because your girl doesn't sweat she glows and this will just make it look like I already meant to do that at the bottom of this letter it said make sure to bring shades and I have this thing over here that holds all my sunglasses so I went over there and I looked in all the little cubbies and I got another note highlighting with whisper of guilt by the way I really love this highlight and then a little bit for my nose and some for my brow bone so this note has a clue and it says I have three hands but cannot touch with them I have no legs yet I run so I was trying to figure out what that was and I was like it's a clock but we don't have clocks so yeah it's a watch I found a broken watch and the hands were at 2 p.m. and there's also an address down here so we'll be going there at 2 p.m. I'm gonna try out the new Huda Beauty Pretty Grunge palette which is absolutely stunning and there are a bunch of different textures of shadows in here and then at the very bottom there's like an eyeliner type thing or like a cream shadow so I think that's really cool but I'm just gonna do something kind of simple so I'm doing hope and rise up just mixing it together to get more of a medium brown for the contour and I want to do anything super crazy for shadow because I'm gonna be really going in with eyeliner today and I want the eyeliner to be the star of the show I'm gonna make it nice and sharp just making sure these are nice and blended I'm gonna use a little bit of stand up just for my lid because I might as well put something there and this is like pretty light I don't think it will take away from the eyeliner I love Huda Beauty Palettes honestly Huda is one of my favorite beauty brands and they never disappoint gonna do my brows like normal and add a little brow gel now I'm going to tightline both of my water lines top and bottom which is a black eyeliner do you guys ever just like sandwich it between your eyes and then get the top and the bottom at the same time feels weird if you press too deep next I'm using the Rimmel Wonder Ink liner which is a felt tip liner and I've never tried it before so this is gonna be the first time and let's see how it is eyeliner is so hard to film on camera I feel like I need to go like all the way up close into a mirror but can't really do that and also show you guys but so far so good and I'm also going to do an inner corner point I'm gonna make sure that this connects with the bottom kind of without adding too much oh like I just did okay okay this is like a little harder to work with than I expected but this will just have to do because I only have like 20 more minutes always one eye always easier than the other eye this is like drying out and it's my first time using it felt tips like they dry out so much so I'm always wary of them but like sometimes they surprise you and they're good just not today okay I am switching liners this was just not working out for me this is also a felt tip liner but you dip it in so you can get more product on it instead of it just like drying up moving on to mascara I'm using the it cosmetics superhero mascara which I really like and it's just going to be easier than putting on lashes because I don't know how active I'm gonna be on this spy mission and I don't want to have to worry about bringing lash glue and having the inner corners peel off and this is such a good mascara I feel like it really lengthens and it's not clumpy I like the brush and overall it's just one of my favorites I would say like you can really see a difference in that eye versus this eye so this is one coat and this is two coats for lips I'm using rose brown by nyx to line them and it's just a really pretty brown neutral color then I'm gonna fill in with a Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk on the inside of my lips just blend that out a little bit and of course I'm using a setting spray to keep all of that hard work in place and hold it together while I'm on my mission just gonna pat that in a little bit and for the fit I wanted something kind of hot like a hot spy but also like agile so I'm wearing these pants that have like a bunch of pockets these pants they also have some suspenders at the back just for fun and then for my hair I don't know maybe I should leave it in like a loose ponytail just so I can run around better and not get it in my face but I don't know the curls are like curling today so maybe I should just leave it down and do some edges yeah I'm just gonna do some light edge work and keep my hair down and I'll just bring a scrunchie so if I need to put it up I have that option this new edges brush I got is so new it's like scratching me I don't know what so this is the final look I'm gonna wear my hair down bring the scrunchie and let's see what he has in store for today the address on the note led me to spy scape which is a spy museum but also gives you missions so there were some cool exhibits and also some games you could play as a spy like this really cool laser tunnel where you have to hit as many buttons as possible before the time runs out without getting hit by lasers and it was so fun then I got another email saying I must need a drink after that that Harrison has a new tattoo and a clue that led me to a rooftop bar called spyglass where he had champagne waiting for us at an incredible view and then we got vegan burgers and another drink before the next email hit and said to go to a grocery store for potatoes and spinach so he did that and then the next email said I thought you were vegan and I was so confused too because I thought I was vegan until I found the secret receipt that had potato spinach and chicken listed for 100k so I was more confused until I realized that his new tattoo which was a tree stump was the other half of the clue and that the import must have been chicken of the woods and I was right and pretty much chicken of the woods is this rare mushroom that I've been trying to find so desperately that I even bought spores to try and grow it myself but wasn't successful and I've been dying to try it so turns out he hired someone to forage some for us so I could finally try it so he hit it with that wet dredge and that dry dredge and made crispy chicken of the woods strips and an amazing dinner overall and it was one of the best vegan dishes I've ever had and definitely an anniversary to remember


guys i want to show you an old trapping check i found probably these 25 years ago when i was trapping there was no road to it no trail to it either it was mile and a half or so off the last road log road but it's on the water as you could see through those trees and it was really well hidden back in the day there was no daylight even getting to it and when i found that the roof hadn't caved in yet and it was in real good shape it was still locked up and made a bunch of inquiries about it trying to take it over so i could fix it back up keep it alive but it hasn't it hasn't weathered too well let the doors off it now and take inside four beds got some bunk beds there and table over here there was a real nice cook stove there back in the day i think it's falling through the floor of course somebody snagged it the loggers weren't too far from in here one year


Mexican prison Andrea Manuel López Obrador set during his daily conference on Friday that he regretted all the lives lost during the arrest of Mexican drug cartel boss Ovidio Guzmán. 19 suspected gang members and 10 military personnel were killed in a wave of violence surrounding Guzmán's arrest is in northern state of Sinaloa, Mexican authorities announced on Friday. The arrest spurs a powerful Sinaloa cartel, one cited by El Chapo himself, to go on a rampage, setting vehicles on fire, blocking roads and fighting security forces in and around Soliacán, the capital of Sinaloa. Mexican Foreign Minister Marcel Ebrard said the extradition law establishes deadlines to provide evidence and proof against the suspect, adding that the Mexican government expects that to happen in the next 4 or 6 weeks. Guzmán's latest capture comes before the North American leaders summit in Mexico City next week, which U.S. President Joe Biden will also attend. Cooperation over security is due to be on the agenda. The United States has sought Guzmán's extradition for years. In 2021, the State Department announced a $5 million reward for information related to his arrest and conviction. Guzmán, known by the nickname The Moss, has been charged in the United States with conspiracy to traffic drugs into this country. The State Department said information indicated that he had ordered multiple murders, including that of a popular Mexican singer who had refused to perform at his wedding. The evidence and proof of evidence against the suspect. We estimate that this will happen in the next 4 or 6 weeks from now.
