**Life as a YouTuber: The Constant Struggle Between Productivity and Enjoyment**

As I sit on my couch, surrounded by the familiar comforts of home, I often find myself pondering the age-old question: what's more fulfilling, being productive or enjoying some well-deserved downtime? For me, it's a constant debate that I've been having for as long as I can remember. On one hand, I believe that being too busy is better than having nothing to do at all. It's nice to have a sense of purpose and fulfillment in life, whether that means working towards my YouTube goals or simply enjoying a lazy day with no obligations.

On the other hand, there's something to be said for embracing a little bit of laziness every now and then. Maybe it's just me, but I find that having too much free time can be downright boring. I need structure and routine in my life, whether that means working on YouTube videos or simply going about my daily routine. But I also know that being too caught up in productivity can be exhausting, both mentally and physically.

As a workaholic, I've learned to find a balance between work and play. It's not always easy, but it's something I've had to adapt to over the years. When I'm working on a project or creating content for my channel, I get lost in the moment and forget about everything else. But when I take time off, I feel rejuvenated and ready to tackle new challenges.

**Upcoming Events and Appearances**

Speaking of which, I wanted to let everyone know that I'll be attending two upcoming events that I'm really excited about. First up is the East Coast Honda meet, which will take place at Richmond International Raceway this weekend in Richmond, Virginia. I actually filmed my video there last year, and it was a blast. It's always great to connect with fellow car enthusiasts and share our passion for these amazing machines.

If you're attending the meet, be sure to look me up! I'll be hanging out with the community and maybe even doing some impromptu interviews or photo shoots. Second on my list is the American Muscle show in Pennsylvania, which has been a bit of a challenge to schedule around due to other commitments. But I'm determined to make it happen, and I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone there.

I know that going to car shows can be exhausting, but for me, it's always worth it. Not only do I love meeting new people and sharing my knowledge about the industry, but I also get to see some amazing cars up close and personal. Whether I'm reviewing a new vehicle or simply admiring the lines of an old favorite, there's something about being surrounded by like-minded enthusiasts that just makes me happy.

**Frequently Asked Questions**

As some of you may know, I recently released a video answering frequently asked questions from viewers like yourselves. If you haven't checked it out yet, please do take a look – it might help answer any questions you have, and save us both from having to go through the same conversation multiple times.

And speaking of FAQs, I did want to address something that's become pretty clear over time: people often ask me if I live with my parents or not. Well, let me put your minds at ease – yes, I do! As a YouTuber, there are so many sacrifices you have to make in order to pursue your passion, and one of those is giving up some of the comforts of everyday life.

Don't get me wrong; it's not all bad news. Living with my parents has its perks – we've got a great kitchen, comfortable living space, and endless Wi-Fi. Plus, I can focus on my YouTube channel without any distractions or financial worries. But it's also meant that I don't have as much free time to go out and enjoy myself like some of you might be doing.

**Personal Anecdotes: Trying Out for TV Shows**

I've got a funny story to share with you all – back in the day, my friend IR (who I still keep in touch with) and I tried out for a reality TV show called The Real World. It was actually a pretty memorable experience, even if we didn't make it past the first round of auditions.

We were told that there were only two rules: don't tell us that you like to party (which, of course, we did – who doesn't love a good party?). And secondly, be yourself. Sounds easy enough, right? Well, for us, it was more like "be the most exaggerated version of ourselves"! We made up this whole elaborate backstory about how we were all outcasts and misfits, just waiting to find our place in the world. It was a bit much, even for themselves.

Long story short, we got kicked off after only one round – but it was an experience I'll never forget. Even though we didn't make it onto the show, it's been great to look back on and laugh about all those crazy moments.

**Conclusion**

That's all for now from my end – just a little glimpse into life as a YouTuber. It's not always easy, but it's definitely worth it. If you're new here or just visiting from one of our other channels, I welcome you to the community and look forward to sharing more adventures with you in the future.

Thanks for reading along, folks!

crazy it really has been crazy guys I did rally North America which if you guys haven't seen the film already please go check it out I would grab you know soda and some popcorn and just sit through it and you'll get to see me get extremely exhausted and extremely tired I know it sounds like such a fun time but no it was and you can also see the Vlog of me and Brandon coming back home you can just see the looks on our face just how exhausted we are it was quite the adventure but well worth it so David gets back home from Raleigh North America hops on the computer and edits almost 48 hours straight to get that film done now usually I would take my time you know over maybe three or 4 days to finish that movie but why did I rush it so quickly well I had somewhere to be and that place was Mustang week so I did the two days straight of editing with like some power naps got Rally North America up guess what copyright strike so I had to re-edit some of it again in the we hours of the night upload it boom Rally North America was up and I wake up and go straight to Mustang Week Mustang Week was about 5 to 6 hours away but I got caught in four traffic jams within 50 Mi so it was a little bit longer Mustang Week was awesome and I got a lot of really good footage I did the car show which is way better than my car show video from last year in my opinion I'm way better with my camera now than I was even just a year ago and along with that I also documented uh my friend's Terminator being not broken it just had some mishaps with it then after that I filmed two car RWS so I filmed four videos at Mustang Week in 2 days I'm pretty proud of myself it was just so weird to me how one year ago Mustang week I guess you could say was my first YouTube like trip like solely for YouTube and I was by myself had my own hotel room for the first time it was the first time i' gone to a city all by myself and didn't know a single person and it was intimidating it was was very ironic how last year only one or two people recognized who I was but this year I lost count it just shows that with enough hard work especially in YouTube things can change I was very fortunate to have a ton of you guys come up and say hi to me and it meant a lot that's why I'm always kind of upset when people are said I saw you but I was too nervous to say something but honestly you have nothing to worry about I don't bite now I am back in Richmond got all my videos edited finally and I've just been kind of planning the next set you know I did the uh Subaru STI video which is great

go out to play with or you're so busy to a pulp that your brain just wants to explode I'm I'm at that point right now but I'd rather have that point than have nothing to do at all because it's better to be too busy than not have enough to do it's nice for like that one day to have your lazy Netflix day or whatever and just be like a blob on your couch but doing that day after day after day I know I personally I can't do it I just get bored and I feel like I have to be doing something being a workaholic I guess it has its perks other than that some announcements I will be going to East Coast

absolute for sure I'm going to the American Muscle show I can't wait to see everybody I can't wait to see you guys it's going to be a great time uh and yeah I'm excited even though going to shows is

for playtime so yeah I made sacrifices to Chase my dream so here I am and I'm very glad that you're watching cuz I can't really see myself doing anything else I thought about it the other day I got to ask that the other day I was like what would I be doing right now I'd probably be working a film studio job I hate that's probably where I would be right now or trying out for shows as a joke that's actually what I did one time um me and my friend iron we tried out for the real world uh yeah David tried out for the real world basically how it worked is you know we went to a room with like four tables and they had you know T maybe 10 people each at each table then me and iron we he's a little Filipino guy love that guy and we're just waiting for our names to be called and they just say you know we have two rules don't tell us that you like to party and you know that sort of thing and of course the first person at the table that's the first thing they say so they obviously got kicked out so me and IR we just kind of so me and IR we just kind of uh exaggerated our own personalities you know we just made it like all all the way up here when we're actually like down here and with that we
