I remember buying the first model of the Dyson vacuum. It was big, yellow, and looked like one of the Transformers. But that thing could pick up dirt and dust like none other. I loved that vacuum b...

What I love about the Staten Island Ferry is that it docks right at the ballpark of the Staten Island Yankees. Free ferry, cheap baseball tickets, and cheap hotdogs. What more could you ask for? 2022-09-03 14:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post

It’s kinda shameful of me to say that I don’t watch YouTube that much since I’m a YouTuber. In fact, I hardly watch anything at all. And that’s the big secret on how I get projects done. Mo...
