I recently got my friend James a new shovel to replace his old one, which he had deemed "super crappy." I decided to upgrade him with a really nice flat spade shovel. I'm planning to give it a cool makeover by sanding it down, applying primer, and then painting it with a unique design. To make the paint adhere properly, I'll lightly sand the surface to remove the clear coat. Since the paint was applied in a rainy environment, it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped for. However, since I'm using a slider paint job, it shouldn't be a major issue.
I've always been fascinated by the art of splatter painting, and many of my friends have told me they use a technique where they spray paint in the cap and then flick it on to create unique designs. Today, I decided to give it a try. Although the results weren't as expected, I was still pleased with how the paint looked. I should have used a toothbrush to achieve smaller splats, but I'm not one to be too hard on myself.
On a related note, we've been discussing windbreakers, and there was some initial concern about their quality. However, after testing them, it appears that they're perfectly fine if washed on delicate settings with the inside out. If you don't follow this procedure, the windbreaker may not turn out as well as expected. I personally prefer to be cautious when it comes to my own belongings, so I've advised others to do the same.
Speaking of new gadgets, I recently managed to order a new Xbox controller and headset while my old one was still updating. My friends had recommended these items on Twitter, which was quite convenient. Although I'm excited about my new Xbox, there's something else that I need to figure out – how to set up the wheel to ensure smooth gameplay without using a "peasant" controller.
On a separate note, Adam and I have been having some good times lately. We haven't had any major disagreements in quite a while, which is great news for our friendship. Maybe it's due to school being over, or maybe we're just spending more time together – whatever the reason, I'm glad everything seems to be working out.
However, there is one issue that needs attention: my gamertag. As you may know, I've been planning to create a unique gamertag that reflects my personality and interests. After some discussion with friends on Twitter, we decided to have a poll to choose between different options. In the end, we settled on "Adam LZ drifts," which seemed like the simplest option.
I must say, creating a new gamertag is quite an exciting experience. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning when I'm browsing through different options and trying out different combinations. My friends seem to be enjoying it as well, with some of them even making their own comments and jokes about my potential gamertag.
On a final note, I recently played a game with my friend Nickels, who's quite the gamer. We were playing for just five minutes when she accidentally used the rewind feature an impressive 300 times on the same crash – it was quite something to see!

overreacted about the whole windbreaker thing we're gonna be reaching out to everyone with emails but yes you can wash them there was only one incident with a print mess-up and honestly I feel like it might have been an issue with the washer but we did test it and the wind breakers are perfectly fine if you wash them on delicate inside-out you may be able to wash them normally too but I personally don't want to risk it with my wind breaker because we're already sold out so I advise just washing them on delicate inside out and you should be a-okay soyou huge weight off my shoulders honestly I should have tested myself before I even brought it up to you guys I'm stupid I'm lazy other my lesson leo check out how crazy this is too so before my new Xbox could finish updating I was able to order another controller a headset by the way you guys all told me to get this one on Twitter I have no idea about anything video game related and it came in before the Xbox was done updating I'm so excited for the Xbox I need to get a wheel set up so I don't have to play with a peasant controller but then how are you gonna get your joy inside of a peasant door hey guys that's why what what the heck is on your finger it's paint just so you guys know guys Adam and I aren't fighting oh I'm analyzing us so yeah I forgot to tell you we haven't fought in like four days so we're really good right now maybe it's because school is done maybe it's because I'm spending more time with Nicole maybe it's because the stars align and we're in luck but maybe I want to play xbox right now cool please please please please please oh no it's only 11:00 we're on a way but our sleep schedule yo everyone's been hitting me up asking me on my gamertag is so we can play xbox together I will give it to you but first I need to make one so that is my task right now since I'm guessing 90% of you have never played xbox before to turn it on you press this button and then it turns on and then it comes out the screen but you have to like first turn the TV on and all this stuff it's really complicated you probably wouldn't understand somehow the voice-over thing got activated yeah and I can't get rid of it v8j I feel like an old man who just got his first cell phone with this thing so we're trying to come over my gamertag and I want it to be like perfect from the get-go so I did a Twitter poll and I asked them whether it should be Adam Elzey from YT the real Adam LZ with Adam OC combined whoa Adam LZs thirteen or Adam LZ drifts and we're going to give it a couple minutes and see which one wins Wow I like the last three ideas best although the real Adam LZ is winning I decided to go with Adam LZ drifts just because it's way more simple and then I want to worry about people forget any put the space there look at that oh I have my own gamer tags lack of boom Shakalaka boom boom Shakalaka boom boom I feel like a kid on Christmas right now nickels played for like five minutes and she's already used the rewind feature like 300 times on the same crash do I look like slap train yet nickels so focused right now okay Adams talking to fans and I can't hear them they're freaking out right now they're giving all these shadows so we can't hear them because of Adams Lambo when you say love me backwe're starting off the day well for what feels like the first time in forever I was proactive and last night I edited so this morning I could upload my graduation video which I've been seeing nothing but positive comments about I'm so happy I put a lot of time into that video it means so much to me my day isn't wasted from spending all morning editing so I get to go to the skate park and start off the day by having a nice little session so I got an idea to do things a little bit differently today escape work session without some sort of challenge is just a boring scape work session for you guys to watch or at least that's what I'm guessing so I'm gonna try to add a little element of challenge by telling myself that I have to land at least two new tricks and then I'll probably keep me from being lazy to Canadian Jack give me inspiration for my first new trick what do you call it Canadian Jack yeah oh that's what we call it the a the a I'm with it I think his name is Zack I think his name's Zack long Jack wait did I call you Canadian Jack it's my accent I'm sorry
