Yeah,
yeah, this was supposed to be up from last week, but I told you all
what happened from yesterday, so you'll know what the excuse
story is if you read that. Won't be boring you here about it, so
let's discuss my adventures that took place during the June 10-11
weekend in Ajax, Whitby and Clarington, as well as that
disgustingly-overdue commentary!
This. This
is it! The
commentary that I've been talking about since late April! Goodness
gracious! What took me so darn long to get this done?! Why haven't I
hired a professional whipper sooner?! I honestly thought that I'd
never get it done, and even considered giving up on it, until one
week in June, I decided to get serious with it and just got it done.
I kept telling myself to just do it, get it done, get it finished!
And surely, I got it done. Wow. Procrastination and tardiness is one
hell of a lethal combination, but the determined, serious, fiery,
passionate side of me overthrew it, and allowed me to finish it, as
well as several other videos during the same week. You see,
completion, targets, and deadlines are something that need to be
taken very seriously when working on projects. This will allow you
perform very well in a variety of fields and allow you to go further
in life. You may think this seems trivial over something like a
commentary video or what not, but it isn't. Remember, YouTube isn't
something I do for free, and the fact they've changed some policies
back in April 2017 means
that small channels will need to work hard to get to that 10,000
channel view threshold to prove their legitimacy. It's really sad
that such a thing had to happen, and I've even voiced my complaints through a video on
this, but at the end of the day, you just have to continue working
hard, regardless of whether you're a small, medium-sized or large
channel. Now in regards to this commentary, it is a long video as you
can see from the thumbnail, but it is worth the watch if you're a
pickup truck enthusiast and
if
you're capable of tolerating my narration style! While this video
isn't nowhere near as
weird/wild/whacky/enigmatic/hyper/childish/controversial/entertaining
as some of the others on this channel, it's still very
“GuuzakaTubish”
if ya know what I mean! If you don't, well... well... *mysterious
laugh*
This
name. What could be the meaning and origin of it? If you've seen the
video, you'll know that it's about me walking down this road and
pondering the meaning of it. It's a mostly a gravel road with
nothing, but trees and bushes lining it, so walking down this road on
a warm summer day, made the experience wonderfully peaceful and
interesting. To the north of it, there are two paths leading out to
Salem Road blocked off by boulders that prohibit vehicles, but allow
pedestrians and cyclists to get around. So, was it supposed to be an
alternate route that could be used to get to Salem? Did they have
plans to originally put up houses or job sites, but scrapped it?
Again, lots on unknowns for this hilariously named road!
What a
long title! Anyways, walking around this massive building was a lot
of fun. So many walls, corners, driveways, a massive track and many
paths are what you will find in this area. I know, I'm making it
sound like such an adventurous area, but seriously, if you've been
here and explored it thoroughly, you'll agree with me. Interestingly,
despite Spitty Road being filmed before this place, Clarke and Notre
Dame was actually the first site I went to during my northeast Ajax
exploration. I didn't feel like filming it at first due to you know,
so I decided to check out Spitty Road and make up my mind after. I'm
sure glad I got over it, and filmed this place because the building
and its surroundings had a lot to cover. One random thing I must
mention is the way the camera behaved when it was filming the track:
it swayed as if someone shook it side to side! Has anyone else
experienced such an issue, or is it just me? Thankfully, I may
have
discovered a potential fix, but that was found during the June 17-18
adventures, so you'll have to wait a little later this week to read
on that! Ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
After
filming Clarke and Notre Dame,
I
decided to film my walk to another school somewhat close by. Don't
worry, there's a skipper slide as usual for the folks that prefer to
just cut to the chase! It was a fun walk, and boy! The houses I saw
in that area are so nice! Wow! I might have to buy one – kidding! I
do not have plans to buy a house in northeast Ajax. Or do I? Or do I
not? Truthfully, I plan to buy a house on a private island in the
Pacific Ocean and – alright, alright! I'll stop. So, what was St
Josephine Bakhita like? Wasn't terribly exciting, but it did have
some highlights, namely the area under renovation (or construction?)
and that rainbow basketball. The building's fresh appearance is also
quite interesting, because I've been noticing a lot of Catholic
elementary schools that look as though they've been very recently
built, but why? Are more people turning into Roman Catholics, or are
they just building these as an “alternative” to take the
population pressure of the existing schools? If you want my honest
opinion, I suspect it's the latter: to curb overpopulation in the
existing schools. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right. What do you
think?
Fancy,
cool name for a school, eh? Is this building equally as fancy as its
name? No, but it's was still a nice place to walk around, film and
photograph. Similarly to what I did back in southeast Courtice, I
went from Clarke and Notre Dame, to Josephgine and then this, and
filmed myself walking there. Thankfully, it was just a short path
that I used to get there from Josephine, so there was no need for
skip-to-xx.xx-to-xxx slides. LOL. I admittedly don't have a ton to
say about this school, other than the fact that it seemed like a nice
area, coupled with good weather and pretty plaques or gardens to
further brighten the walkaround. What would Leonardo Da Vinci think
of this school? Perhaps if he had his way with it, there would be a
lot of drawings and murals added to it.
Maybe
it's obvious. Maybe it isn't, but because I don't recall mentioning
anywhere in the video nor its description, that this was the last
video I filmed during my northeast Ajax adventures from Clarke, Notre
Dame, Josephine Bakhita and Da Vinci. Why did I do this? Because
sometimes after an adventure I end up filming a walk down a road to
capture traffic and scenery. Videos such as Random Evening Morningside Stroll - DEER SURPRISE!!! and
the 2nd
segment of Norman G. Powers Public School
are examples of this. Didn't get to capture any fancy exotics like
Maseratis, Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Bentleys, Aston Martins, Porsches,
McLarens, Jaguars and what not, but come on; it's just Salem Road.
Not Monaco or Dubai or something. Still, there has been times where
I've seen Lamborghinis, Teslas, McLarens, Porches and Maseratis about
in Durham and Toronto, so ya never know! Speaking of cars, let's
discuss the next video that takes place in Whitby below.
Ha
haaaaaaa! Yes! I did it again. I went to a dealership the day after
the northeast Ajacian adventure, filmed it, and turned the video into
a wild, wild, crazy thing! Ah, and final result? Satisfaction and
pure comedy. Due to time constraints, I didn't throw in as many edits
as I'd like to, but I still like the video turned out. There are some
parts where I believe that it went too long without a comedic edit,
which may or may not cause people to disengage? Who knows. Nobody has
ever complained about that to date, so just my speculation. Ok so
comedic and bizarre elements aside, I think it's time that I answer
the question that wasn't answered in the video: why did I film a
dealership whose vehicles I'm not too interested in? That alone can
almost be considered the answer: my lack of interest and familiarity
with the cars kind of makes it more adventurous and interesting in a
way, that it makes it feel sort of like discovering the brand, and
getting to know it better by seeing the Korean vehicles in person.
Also, while I'm the type of person that chiefly uploads things that I
like, I should still try to film a variety of brands to draw a
variety of people to these hilariously-edited dealership videos. Hope
that clears things up significantly. So now that I've had the chance
to look at the vehicles in person, what do I think of them? Well,
some of them are really nice-looking, while I've found some to look
squat, and ridiculously ugly! The 2017 Hyundai Tucson in red, and
2017 Hyundai Elantra in blue are gorgeous examples. Certainly
wouldn't buy the Elantra though, as you all know that I prefer sport
utility vehicles and pickup trucks! Preferably all-electric, too.
After
filming the Hyundai dealership, I went to Clarington to take a walk
along Highway #2. The purpose? To capture the scenery of that strip
and hopefully some cool cars. The results? Well, I didn't get to
start from Solina Road as I'd like to thanks to construction, so I
had to opt for Rundle Road. While I did manage to capture lots of the
surroundings including a random live chicken and a private wind mill,
there weren't very many cool cars to be seen during my time filming.
A whole lot of pick up trucks, sport utility vehicles, minivans and
low-riders. I did see two Chevrolet Corvettes, but they weren't the
cooler 2014 and newer models. Still sounded awesome though, and I did
catch a Ford Mustang. There was also a blue SRT Dodge Charger, but
that appeared after the camera stopped rolling. Go figure. Did I
seriously expect to see Alfa Romeos and Jaguars or something? Not
really, but would've been a great surprise! Realistically, I was
expecting to see more muscle cars and sports sedans, but despite not
seeing them, the walk and warm weather still made it a great tour.
Not too pleased about how the video came out a little illusionary and
wobbly, though. Thankfully, I have an idea I can experiment with to
fix that for the next time!
Well
this will be easy to fill out this time around, because I can tell
you exactly what's planned! I plan to get this edited and posted
tomorrow (that would be June 20!), work on the recent videos from the
June 17-18 weekend, get them posted and blogged, as well as deal with
other day-to-day things of course.
