That time when my Japanese girlfriend kicked me out her apartment

It's currently 5 AM in the morning. I just

stayed up all night because it's my day

off. Usually I would be working now,

so I can't really go to sleep. Otherwise,

my sleep pattern that I carefully crafted

would be, would be all messed up. Be all

messed up, wouldn't it? If I go to sleep

now, I'd wake up in the morning, and when

I have to go to work the next day, I'll be

all sleepy during the night. That's the

dilemma. So I

guess I'll stay up for a few more hours.

I'm not really sure what to do. I played,

I played XCOM for like 3 hours,

just nonstop. I couldn't, I couldn't stop

playing. It was just so, so much fun. You

start XCOM and you're like Just one more

turn, one more turn. I'm just gonna play

one more turn and then I'm gonna turn it

off. And then 2 hours go by and you're

still saying one more turn, one more turn.

We were unable to deliver because a

signature is required.

Fuck.

Look who it is. Mr. Tofsky,

what are you doing out here? What are you

doing? What are you doing? What are you

doing? It's raining, isn't it? Do you want

to go inside? You want to go inside?

The door's open if you want to go inside.

Don't know if you want to go inside.

What are you doing? The door's open.

Go, go. Ah,

finally. Take your own sweet time.

Ah, it's raining. It's starting to rain.

Forgot to put my chapstick on. My lips are

starting to dry. Today's such a shitty

day. I was supposed to be getting my new

phone tonight— today, the LG G5.

And I tried to stay up as hard as I really

tried to stay up, and I stayed up until 8

AM, and I just couldn't do it. I just fell

asleep. And, and I woke up again at

11 AM, and I went downstairs. I was like,

Oh no, it's the postman here! I fell

asleep and I ran downstairs and he had

this stupid red card there saying, sorry,

we missed you. He came at 10 AM. If I had

just stayed awake for another 2 hours, I

would have been able to get— I would have

been able— I would have had my new phone

right now. And I fell asleep again. I woke

up at 4 PM and I went downstairs again and

there was Hold on.

Bloody motorbikes. There was a second red

card. He came again. He came again at half

past 1, which is really nice of him,

isn't it? It was really nice of him

to come again. Like, he, he thought, oh,

maybe he's asleep. I'll come back in a few

hours. Maybe then I can deliver his

parcel. But I was still asleep and I

missed it the second time. You know, it

would have been nice if he wrote on the

first card that he was going to come back,

then I would have known he was going to

come back. If I had known he was going to

come back, then I wouldn't have gone back

to sleep. I would have stayed up.

It's just so frustrating. And do you know

how frustrating it is when you order

something on Amazon and then you get all

excited because You really want— you

really want to get the thing that you

ordered, and then you oversleep and

you miss the postman, and it's the saddest

thing in the world. I just get so angry.

I just feel so frustrated. I feel angry at

myself for not being able to stay awake

when I knew it was coming today, and I

knew it was coming before 1 PM, so I

should have stayed up all morning. And I

feel angry at the postman because Why

couldn't you just leave the damn thing

outside the door instead of taking it away

2 times just because you need my

signature?

It's not the end of the world. I scheduled

a redelivery for Friday. Hopefully my mum

will be in. Hopefully she'll be awake.

Hopefully I can wake up early enough to

answer the door. So irritating. It feels

like the end of the world. I'm so

impatient. Whenever I buy something like a

new phone or a camera or computer on

Amazon, I just want it the next day. I

want it as fast as I can get it. And if I

miss the delivery, I can't redeliver for

the next day. I can't redeliver for

Thursday. No, I have to wait until Friday.

I have to wait a whole 2 days.

Right now is such a bad time to be making

a video because Everyone's coming home

from work and they're all driving up and

down this stupid road. And now it's

starting to rain. Today, today's such

a shit day. And look,

there's no— can't even see the sunset

because it's all cloudy. And now it's

raining and I'm getting all wet.

Didn't get my new phone. Slept all day.

It's not even that much of a big deal.

It's not even that interesting of an item,

you know, it's just a phone.

It's not gonna be like amazing,

but I just feel so disappointed. It feels

like Christmas. Imagine it's Christmas and

you're really excited and then you

oversleep a few hours. And then Santa

doesn't come and bring you anything. He

just leaves this stupid note saying,

sorry Daniel, you overslept. Christmas is

cancelled. Wait until next week to get

your gifts. It's like, oh, for fuck's

sake, Santa, just leave the gifts outside

the bloody door. Is it difficult? Why do

you need my stupid signature?

Most of the time when you buy stuff off

Amazon, Amazon use their own special

delivery service and they just leave the

parcel outside the door. But if it's like

a third-party seller and they're just

sending it— and they're just sending it by

Royal Mail, Royal Mail needs a signature

for special delivery, and Royal Mail don't

leave anything outside the door. Such a

bunch of uptight bastards.

I'm not even sure if I made the right

decision buying the LG G5. I looked at

some videos on YouTube after I ordered it,

which is kind of stupid. I should have

looked at the videos before. And the

front-facing camera doesn't look too

great, to be honest. The stabilization

looks terrible. It's really shaky.

But it has, it has 2 cameras on the other

side. It has dual cameras on the

rear-facing side, which look really

interesting. There's one camera like the

normal 16-megapixel camera, standard one,

But it also has a second camera, an

8-megapixel wide-angle camera lens,

and that looks really fun to use. I

probably won't even use it that much

because 90% of my videos are me using

the front-facing camera. I don't even need

a camera because I have this camera, the

Sony, which I rarely use because I only

use it when I'm in a good mood. When I'm

in not such a great mood, I just go back

to my phone. So many decisions,

choices. This is the problem. There's just

too many cameras. There's too many phones

out there. All the markets are

oversaturated. It's so difficult to choose

which device you want to use. There's no

perfect almighty device that's perfect

in every way. They're all slightly

different. They all have their strengths

and weaknesses, and you have to decide

which one you want. And it's hard to

decide unless you try them all out. But

how are you supposed to know if you're

gonna like a certain phone if you don't

try it out? You're gonna have to read all

these stupid reviews. Even if you read

reviews and listen to other people's

opinions, it's hard to form your own

opinion until you've actually touched it

and used it yourself. Usually I don't

agree with other people, what they say. I

have my, my own opinions are very very

specific to me. I don't share opinions

with a lot of people. That's why I find it

hard to, to decide what I want just by

reading reviews and looking at videos.

Anyway, I'm getting bored about talking

about this. It's just making me more and

more frustrated. All I have to do is wait

until Friday. It's not that long. It's

Wednesday today. The problem is I have to

work on Thursday, and I'm just going to be

thinking about it the whole time, and it's

going to make time go by really quickly.

So, um, oh, Friday. Friday is such

a long way away. It's going to take ages

until I can get that phone. I don't even

know if I'm going to like the phone. What

if I don't like the phone? The seller said

no returns. I'll be stuck with it.

I'll have to sell it on Amazon at a lower

price. I'm just losing money. I'm just,

just chucking my money down the toilet,

aren't I? Might as well just chuck it all

into the pond over there. Where is it?

Somewhere over there. I just get so bored.

What else am I supposed to do with the

money? I have a job now. I don't have any

responsibilities. I don't have to pay

rent. I don't have to pay food. I don't

have a social life. I don't have any

partners. There's nothing I

really want to buy. A lot of people at

work, they say stuff like, oh, I really

want to buy a car. Cars are so expensive.

I couldn't give a shit about cars. I don't

understand why people like cars. I can

understand that you'd need a car for work.

But there's so many people out there who

actually like cars. Like,

they have a dream car that they want to

buy, or they love driving. I hated

driving. I took driving lessons when I was

18. I did about 10 lessons or something,

and then I took the driving test and I

failed miserably. It's because of my

stupid driving instructor. He said that I

was ready to do the test when I obviously

wasn't. And the problem was that He kept

telling me how to do things. Like when we

did the parking and things, he kept

saying, keep turning, keep turning the

wheel. But I was just listening to what he

was telling me. I wasn't, I wasn't

actually understanding how much I had to

turn the wheel for myself. So when he

wasn't there telling me how much I needed

to turn the wheel, then I didn't know how

much to turn it, and I just kept making

all these mistakes during the test. I

nearly drove through a red light. I didn't

check All my mirrors properly. I

completely messed up the 3-point turning,

3-point parking. It was just a horrible

experience. And the actual, um,

driving I hated. It was so boring. You

just sit there and then you press these

pedals, and then my, my butt cheeks get

all numb. I don't want to go anywhere

anyway. Even if I had a car, where would I

go? Everywhere looks the same. I don't

need to go— I don't feel like I need to be

able to move around. I have the internet.

I can go anywhere I want. I have Google

I can just go on Street View and look

around if I really cared. There's nowhere

interesting enough that I think to myself,

oh, I really want a car so I can go to

that place. I just don't really care about

going anywhere. It's kind of funny since I

traveled so much. People would ex— people

would assume that I enjoy traveling, but I

like going to different places and

exploring, but I hate it. Even when I went

to Japan and Korea, I didn't really

explore or go to new places. I just stayed

in my room most the time, stayed in the

guest house. I just stuck to the

neighborhood. And then I wonder why I find

And then I wonder why I had such a boring

time over there. Well,

now it's starting to rain. It just

feels like— it feels like, what's the

point in working and working and working,

earning all this money and not being able

to buy anything? Just saving it all? It

feels like, what's the point in working

and having money if there's nothing I want

to buy? If there's nothing I want to do

with the money? I might as well not have

the money. Do you want my money? I don't

want it. Just send me, send me your email

address. I'll just, I'll send it all over

to you. I'll send it all over to you in

Amazon gift cards, okay? All I

ask in return is that you like my video

and, and you subscribe, okay? Deal?

Some people are just so desperate. Get

their hands on money. All they want is

more and more money. They, they want to

work hard, get a better job so they can

get more money. It's like my friend from

secondary school. He just seems so

obsessed with money. He was like, oh, my

last job, they're only paying me £14 an

hour, but now my new job's paying me £15

an hour. It's not really enough because I

want a joint income with my girlfriend of

£60,000 so we can live an easy life. If

you're having to work so hard every day

for like 14-hour shifts, even if you get

paid loads of money, it's not really an

easy life, is it? It's a bloody hard life.

If you want an easy life, you become

homeless and sleep in the park. You have

no money and you can't do anything, and

you probably have a really shit life, but

I guess it's pretty easy. You just lie

around in the park all day. I guess you—

there's 2 choices. You either work really

hard and have lots of money, but then you

don't really have time to spend that

money, and you don't really have time to

do things that you enjoy because you're

working all the time. Then you could be

jobless or homeless, and then you have all

the free time in the world and you can do

whatever you want. But the problem is you

won't have any money, so you won't be able

to do what you want. It's kind of like a

catch-22, isn't it? In Japan, when you go

to the park in Tokyo, Yoyogi Park, there

are homeless people everywhere. There were

just people sleeping in the park on

cardboard mattresses. There were little

homeless houses set up all over the place

made out of those blue covers, blue

plastic sheets, but they're

really well made. They have stacks of

boxes. It's like a little tent, little

blue tents everywhere, but they look kind

of disgusting. There's just so many

homeless people in Japan. It's really

surprising because you kind of think of

Japan as like this pretty well-off

nation, lots of jobs, prosperous people.

But no, you wait until it's nighttime,

all the homeless people come out. There

are loads and There's this time when my

girlfriend kicked me out of her apartment

and I was about to leave Japan. I went to

the airport— I tried. I went to the

nearest city. I couldn't get to the

airport because all the trains closed

because it was too late. So I was stuck

outside the train station around midnight.

I couldn't book a hotel because I didn't

have any internet connection and it was

probably too late. I don't even know. I

don't even know where there would have

been any hotels. But I decided not to look

for a hotel. I just decided to sit outside

the train station all night. So I spent

the night homeless, and there were like 10

to 20 people sitting outside of the train

station because they either— they stayed

out too late drinking with their coworkers

and they missed the last train. And they

were just sitting there. They looked like

statues. There were like 10 to 20 people

just sitting on the benches outside there.

Like this, not moving at all.

And outside the train station, the train

station was still open, like you could go

inside and it was all— all the lights were

on, but there were security guards

everywhere. There were 2 security guards

outside the main entrance, there were a

few patrolling up and down, and I just

thought to myself, wow, those security

guards, they must be bored out of their

fucking mind. They just stand there like

this. All night. They don't do anything.

At least my job, I have things to do. I do

the cooking, do the sweeping, do the

stocktaking, serve the customers, and time

goes past like this, so quickly. Those

security guards, they just stand there all

night doing absolutely nothing. They can't

even listen to music because they have to

be alert. It must be so mind-numbingly

boring. You just stand there. I don't know

if I could do it. I guess you

get a lot of time to think. It's a

lot of standing though, must be pretty

painful for the legs. Anyway, I spent the

night homeless, and there were those

people who missed the last train, they

were just waiting for the train, and then

there were the homeless people,

and they would just come out, they start

setting up their cardboard boxes. Some of

them have really nice cardboard boxes and

they make like a coffin. It's just like a

box, like a coffin made out of cardboard.

They just sleep there on the street.

But the streets are really clean in Japan,

so it's not really that bad. It was really

freezing. During the day it was boiling

hot, so I only wore a t-shirt. But

overnight it was freezing cold and I was

so cold. I went into the convenience store

to buy some food, and then I went to the

toilet, and I was so tired, I just wanted

somewhere to sit down. I sat in the toilet

for about an hour. I just sat there, and

then I heard a knock. Someone— the staff

knocked on the door. I heard them speaking

in Japanese. They said something like—

they said something like, someone's in

there, he's been in there for an hour,

what should I do? And then they just

knocked the door. They didn't say

anything. And I realized it was time to

go. I opened the door and I left. I got

out the toilet and the 2 staff, they

didn't look at me. They like turned away

pretending not to notice what happened

because it was kind of awkward. That's the

nice thing about Japanese people. They

won't embarrass you. They won't,

they won't like say anything to you. If

this was England, I'm pretty sure the

staff would say something like, are you

alright in there? Did you fall asleep in

there? Are you okay? And it'll be really

awkward. The Japanese aren't like that.

They'll leave you alone. They won't— they

won't make— they won't make an awkward

situation even more awkward by needlessly

talking to you. Anyway, I left the

convenience store, I went back to the

train station, and they were doing all

this construction work overnight. All the

construction workers come out and start

doing construction work, and I just

watched them digging up the road while I

ate my burger. It was pretty depressing.

And then, um, it got to about 5

AM. All the crowds started coming out.

All the Japanese people in their suits and

their ties. They all look the same. All

the clothing, just black suits, black

jackets. Just like a sea of black.

Even their hair's all black. Everyone's

just— it's just like a sea of people just

went into the train station. And I got up

and I was like, time to go, I guess. And I

got an email from my ex-girlfriend. She

was saying she was sorry. She wanted me to

come back. She said she looked all over

the neighborhood looking for me. She

didn't realize I had gone so far.

And I thought to myself, She seems really

sorry. Maybe, maybe I shouldn't have left

so quickly. Maybe I'll go back. Maybe we

can make things work. So I ended up going

back. I got back on the bullet train for

another 2 hours, went back to Oita-shi,

Oita City.

And then it was nice.

I got off the train, got off the train,

and she was waiting there outside the

ticket barrier. Just sitting there. And

then she saw me, she looked so happy. It

was, it was so sweet. She ran

over to me, we hugged, and she was like,

Daniel, Daniel, I missed you. And then we

walked back to the apartment, dropped my

bags off, and then we went for dinner. We

went to this restaurant called Gusto.

It's like a chain restaurant, Italian

food. They have lots of those over there

in Japan. There's Caesarea, and there's

Gusto, and there's another one I can't

remember, but they're all like a huge

chain restaurant. They all sell Italian

food like spaghetti, pizza,

pasta, burgers, mixed meat grills. It's

really nice. It's probably my favorite

restaurant in Japan, an Italian

restaurant. People ask me, Daniel, what's

your favorite restaurant or food in Japan?

And I'm like, Sicilia,

the Italian chain restaurant. They're

like, what? Why'd you go to Japan to eat

Italian food? And I'm like, I don't know,

because Japanese food is shit. Not all of

it, there's some good Japanese food.

Like, my other favorite is yakiniku,

but that's not really Japanese either,

isn't it? It's Korean. They even call it

Korean barbecue. A lot of people

say the best food in Japan is ramen. I

disagree. I don't like ramen. It's

alright, like, if you're hungry. Ramen is

the kind of food that you just binge on if

you're really hungry and you can't be

arsed to make any food. It's just like

instant noodles in the fridge, in the

cupboard, like Pot Noodle. Just pour in

some water. It's not really something I

think of like, huh, I really want— I want

to have a really nice meal with my

friends. Go to a nice place, let's have

ramen. That's not how I think. Ramen's

like a cheap throwaway meal that you just

eat when you're desperate. There was this

one time I went to the ramen shop, a ramen

shop, and it tasted pretty good. The soup

was really nice, but the problem is it was

so salty. They put so much salt in it, it

was horrible. I had to pour water in for

my drink to to try and make it less salty.

It wasn't that great anyway. Sure, the

soup was nice and like creamy. It had like

a creamy taste to it. I don't know how

they do that. It's like the bone marrow or

something. What was I talking about?

Yeah, we went to Gusto and it

was the— I was starving because I stayed

up all night and I didn't really have much

to eat. And I had just traveled all

the way from one of the big cities in

Kyushu all the way back to Oita on the

bullet train, which took hours. And then I

got lost. I got on the wrong bullet train,

got off on the wrong station, and I had to

go back. It was so funny.

And, uh, the bullet trains in Japan are

How is it interesting? Well, because the

train— there's like this train conductor

on the train, and before the train starts

off, he'll like walk up the aisle, then

walk to the front of the train, and then

he'd say something like a greeting, and

then he'd like bow like this to everyone,

and then he'd walk off and do the exact

same thing in the next carriage. It's kind

of strange. I just can't imagine them

doing it here in England. All the train

conductors in England, they're like— they

look so miserable, like they hate their

jobs. But in Japan, when you see the

people working at the train stations, you

can just tell that they absolutely love

trains. They do their job so, so,

so gracefully, you know. They do all the

hand gestures like, right, like that.

They look so into it, like they're loving

it. They must think they're so cool,

like, yeah, I'm conducting trains, this is

my dream job, I've always wanted to work

at the train station. So I can understand

if you love trains, it's kind of, um,

it's kind of cute. But no one in England

puts that much effort into their job. No

one. I'm pretty sure no one who works in

an English train station loves their job

that much. They're just, they're just

doing the job because they need the money.

And they might have like a small interest

in trains, but in Japan everyone takes

their job so seriously. They, they,

they're very, um, they find it very

important to do your job properly, have

pride in your job, take it seriously, not

just muck around and do it half-assed.

They do it properly. They even have these

people Some car parks,

they have a lot of underground car parks,

and at the exit of the car park they'll

have like 2 men in uniform directing

traffic.

So many cars today. So basically these

2 men, they check if there's any traffic

coming, then they tell the car that's

coming out of the car park if it's okay

for the car to leave. But that's the whole

job. They just stand there all day outside

of the car park exit, and then if there's

any cars, they'll like wave the car over.

But they do it really, really gracefully.

Like, it's not just like— it's not like—

it's like they do like a little dance.

It's so funny to watch, but they look

really into it, like they're loving their

job. They're probably hating it deep

inside, but they know they have to do it

professionally. But it just seems like

such an unnecessary job. Why doesn't the

person who's driving the car just look

out, look to the side to see if there's

any traffic coming, and then drive out?

You don't need— you don't need 2 guys to

check for traffic or pedestrians and then

tell you to come out. So some, some car

parks, they have like 4 people doing that,

and they were wearing this really fancy

uniform. They have like a military cap.

They have white gloves and they have like

a red glowing baton that looks like a

little lightsaber. And it just seems like

such an unnecessary job. They have so many

jobs in Japan that just seem like, do you

really need those people doing that thing?

You walk around the shopping centers, the

shopping districts in Japan, and outside

of the shops they always have at least one

person just standing there. He has— he's

wearing a sign, or he's holding a sign,

and that's it. He's just a human

signboard. He just stands all day. Or

maybe they're handing out tissues, or

maybe they're saying stuff like, we have a

sale on today, everyone come and buy our

stuff, and no one's really paying

attention. That's why there are so many

jobs in Japan, because they have so many

unnecessary jobs that we don't have here

in England. Just makes me wonder,

these companies in Japan, they must be

losing a lot of money. They must be paying

all this money for these, for these staff

that I don't really think they need. They

just need to fire them all, tell them to

get real jobs. They're standing, being a

human signboard. It's not a real job.

A piece of wood could do your job. Why

don't they just get a piece of wood and

hammer it outside and then stick the sign

to it. Such a waste of, of human

capabilities. Humans can do so

much. We're so intelligent. We have this

massive powerful brain, and then all these

Japanese people, all they do for their

jobs is stand outside a building for 8 to

10 hours guarding it.

Or being a human signboard, or being a

human loudspeaker. It just makes me

feel like we're wasting,

wasting brainpower. We're wasting a human.

He could be doing so much more. He might

have so much more potential to be doing

something that's actually needed, but no.

Hundreds of people standing outside of

shops wearing a massive sign.

And then there are all these people in

Japan that hand out tissue papers. They

just stand there on the street with a

basket of tissue papers and they hand it

out to people who walk by. They also do it

really gracefully. They're not just like,

here you go, here you go, mate. They're

like They do like a little bow and then

they say something like onegaishimasu,

onegaishimasu. Most people ignore them,

but it's quite handy if you need a tissue,

I guess. But is that job really necessary?

I guess it's all advertising, isn't it?

The companies put the little advert on the

tissue paper and then people take the

tissue paper and they get They might have

a glimpse at the advert. I'm pretty sure

no one actually looks at the advert or the

packaging. They just take out the tissue

paper, then chuck it in the bin, don't

they? And it gets kind of irritating in

busy streets. When, when the streets are

crowded, you have all these people

standing in the middle of the street

handing out tissue papers, and they just

get in the way because they try and stand

in front of you to give you the tissue,

and they don't move out of the way until

the very last second. And it just gets

really frustrating. Like, no, I don't want

a fucking tissue, just get out the way.

You don't have any of that in England.

You don't have any of these jobs. Maybe

that's why there are so little jobs in

England, because maybe we should just make

it like Japan. Make all these unnecessary

jobs that aren't really needed so we can

give the unemployed people something to

do, something to do with their lives.

It's just kind of funny. Maybe,

maybe I'm wrong. Maybe all this

advertising is the reason why Japan has

such a powerful economy. Maybe we're doing

it wrong in England. Maybe we need to work

more on advertising, have people standing

outside the shops with massive signboards

or handing out tissue papers with

companies' adverts on them. It just seems

very bizarre to me. We do have a few

people like that in town, but especially

Subway. There used to be this guy who just

stands there. He has a massive signboard

that says Subway. Subway's over there,

walk 5 minutes and you'll see it. It just

seems kind of redundant to have that guy

standing there saying Subway's over there

when you just look over there and you can

see that there's a Subway over there.

Oh, there's something I forgot to say in

last— yesterday's video about reasons

why Japan is great if you have social

anxiety. Well, there are a lot of reasons

why it's not so great if you have social

anxiety. For example, going to a clothes

shop. If you want to buy some clothes and

you go into a shop, the sales assistant is

going to pounce on you immediately. As

soon as you enter the door, he's going to

be hovering next to you, hovering behind

you, going Do you need any help? What can

I help you with? Or what are you looking

for? You looking for a jacket, jeans? And

you're just thinking to yourself, oh,

would you just piss off and leave me alone

so I can have a look? I don't have the

guts to say that. I don't have— I feel

like it's really rude to say, uh, I'm just

looking, can you go away? So I don't say

anything. I pretend they're not there,

and it becomes really awkward because

there's this guy next to me, like,

looking at everything I'm doing, trying to

help me. I know it's his job. He's

probably got— gotten told by his boss.

His boss probably said, every time a

customer comes in, you need to stand next

to them to make sure they're okay and to

check if they need any help. But it's just

so irritating. When I go into a clothes

shop, I just want to look around on my

own. I don't want to be pestered. That's

what it's like in England. You go into the

shop, the staff, they don't even look at

you. They don't give a shit if you've come

into the store. But in Japan, they make a

big song and dance. They shout at you,

welcome to the store, and then they hover

around you like an irritating fly.

And it's the same like that in camera

stores, computer stores. They have all the

computers and cameras on display, and if

you start picking it up and looking at it,

someone will come to you and they'll start

saying stuff. And at first I didn't really

understand what they were saying, and I

realized they were saying like, do you

need any help? But they start, they start

doing like a sales pitch, like, oh, this

one's really good, it's latest technology,

cheapest price, it can do this and that

and this. And I'm like, I don't really

fully understand what you're saying, but I

kind of understand what you're saying. I

don't really care what you're saying. Can

you please go away so I can look at the

product on my own?

But if you just ignore them, completely

ignore them, they get the message and they

walk off. And it's so awkward because they

look kind of disappointed, like, oh right,

okay, I understand, goodbye. And they walk

off and I feel terrible. I feel like,

I'm really sorry, I just don't want you

standing around me when I'm looking at

I don't know if I should go to the

Christmas party. For my job.

There are 2 people that are near my age,

and I quite enjoy talking to them,

but I don't really think we have anything

in common. They seem pretty typical young

people. They like hanging out with their

mates, they like going to pubs and clubs

and drinking beer, getting, getting wasted

and then puking all over the place and

forgetting everything that just happened.

And I'm just not that kind of person. I

like nerdy stuff. I like talking about

video games and tech and

YouTube stuff, and there's just no one

there like that. Everyone else, they're

all old women, middle-aged women, 50+,

60. And who else is going? The owner of

the petrol station. Doesn't really sound

very interesting to me. Who am I going to

talk to? What am I going to talk to all

those middle-aged women about? Nothing.

I'll just be sitting there bored out of my

Then the Paul guy isn't going.

At least we talk about— we have some

things to talk about. I still find him

pretty boring. All he says is, I used to

go riding on my motorbike with my friends.

We used to race all over the town. There

was this one time I was really drunk and I

rode my motorbike, and somehow I managed

to get home without crashing. I just

listened to his story and I was— I didn't

know what to say. I was like, okay, that

was lucky. Lucky you didn't die. I don't

really know what else to say to that. I

have no interest in driving or motorbikes

or cars. I have no interest in drinking or

getting drunk. I just don't see the point

in it. I enjoy beer. I like beer. It

tastes nice. I like to have a beer with a

nice meal, but just one. You have more

than one and I start to get sick of

it. I start to get sick of the taste.

It's like having too much chocolate cake.

You have like one chocolate cake and it's

nice, you enjoy it. You have 10, you just

get sick of the sight of chocolate cake,

don't you? But some people aren't like

that with alcohol. They just want to drink

and drink and drink and drink until they

vomit all— vomit it all out and then pass

out, and then they don't have any memory

of what just happened. What was the point

in that? You spent all that money buying

alcohol to put inside your body, and then

you just puked it up all over the floor,

and then you fell asleep. And then the

next day you don't even remember what

happened. What was the point in doing

that? You just completely wasted all that

money. People don't

know how to do things in moderation. They

don't know how to control themselves. You

just have one drink and it's fine. You can

enjoy it, enjoy the taste. You don't

have to go crazy and drink like 10 pints

of beers and then Puke it up all over the

place. People are crazy. I just just don't

understand some people.

Anyway, time to wrap up the video. I felt

I feel pretty satisfied with today's

video. Yeah, felt like I talked about a

lot of stuff that I really wanted to talk

about, and weather wasn't too bad. It did

start raining a little bit. But it's not

really windy, which is good. This was

completely useless. I bought it for my

iPad, premium tempered glass screen

protector, and it just

makes the screen so— it makes it less

sensitive. For example, before I could

use the touchscreen using the edges of my

finger, but with this glass plate on it,

I can't do that anymore. It's just a

waste of money, wasn't it?
