So what is going on everyone? Finally just got a bit of, bit of alone time, so you could say. Uh, obviously I'm on holidays with the lads, but sometimes it's just nice to break off in the evening, get a bit of time to yourself. I'm just going for a swim, um, do a bit of thinking and Yeah, like I said, just get some alone time. But first of all, sorry for the lack of uploads the past, you know, 10 days, week or something. Terrible form on my behalf. I've just been traveling a lot and obviously I'm on holidays and it's tough to kind of get the time to break off and, you know, actually edit and upload a video. But so anyways, right, I'll tell you what I've been up to. We landed in Zadar, we did 1 or 2 nights in Split, and we went on a pub crawl, which was a very funny something I haven't done in years. As you know, I'm not a big drinker, but yeah, that was an absolute laugh in itself. And then, so we flew out of there and then we went to Hvar. Hvar, I'm not even just saying this, it's one of my favorite places that I've ever been. It is, it is like, it's genuinely a beautiful place, like the architecture, the scenery, you know, the ocean is so nice. So we went to this place called Hula Hula We spent a lot of time there. It is like a daytime kind of beach bar, and you know, so they make some nice drinks and stuff like that. We met some lovely people there, um, kind of like met another group and kind of teamed up with them. And yeah, so spent a lot of time there. And then there's this place, Carpe Diem. It's on the port, but then you get a boat to an island, and it's like this nightclub on an island, and it is slick. Like, and there's a swimming pool there, so of course, you know, I got naked and kind of fell around the place. So then anyways, on our last day, we got a speedboat. You know, fuck the ferry, it's all about that speedboat action. And you know, we went to a few caves, went snorkeling and stuff like that. That was really cool. And then they dropped us off in Pag, in Xerxe Beach. That's where I am now. Really nice. So yesterday we did a booze cruise. That was a good laugh, I have to say. You know, just some really good times with my friends, meeting some new people too, hints of beer bongs. It was a laugh. And now tonight is the first night of the festival. It's an EDM festival. Michael Kaufmann is playing. He makes that song Resurrection, you know, really good song. You probably know about him, but he's a savage, savage producer, savage DJ. But so anyways, right, that is basically an update of what has been going on with me. Been having a lovely time, you know, with my friends from school, really close friends that, you know, One of them lives in the UK, the other is moving down to Munster, so it's really important that we get this time together. And, um, of course I'm great pals with the other lads too. There's two things I want to talk about, right? One good and one bad. So I'll give you the good news first, and that is that we passed over 10,000 subscribers. YouTube is something I love to do. Making these videos, like, is a passion of mine. It is, it is what I love to do. And like, you know, interacting with people from all over the world, and it's crazy. It's such a cool, fun thing to do. So a landmark like that, hitting over 10,000 subs, especially while I'm on holiday, I'm in a great form about it. And I, I really think the channel is only starting now. I really think that, you know, things are only getting going. But please tell me, comment down below, at what stage did you subscribe to my channel? Were you here in the first thousand? If you are, we're automatically best friends. But, uh, so that is absolutely brilliant. I appreciate your continued support, and like I said, it's just the beginning. Second thing I want to talk about is the tragedy that happened in Berkeley recently. Uh, for my American subscribers and English subscribers who may not know, there were 6 people killed, um, on a J-1 in San Francisco. And you know, I was on a J-1 last year, um, I've made a video about J-1s, and I actually knew some of the guys, and we had a lot of mutual friends too. So that's something that really kind of like, when I found out about it, it really shook me. It really hit home. And I made a post on Facebook and Instagram and stuff about it, but yeah, so you can go read my thoughts on that there. But it just goes to show you how fickle life can be. You know, one minute, you know, they were on a balcony and the balcony collapsed, you know. Life can throw anything at you, and that's why I will preach to the day I die: live life to the very fullest. Don't be average because it can be taken away from you at any stage. Really, that is kind of the motto I live by. Thanks for checking in with me, just a little update. I'll talk to you soon, and I'll let you know how the festival goes. Keep it real, I'm outta here.
