Travel Diaries, Marion AR 2015|| Blog Everyday In September day 16

I have been down south so many times. It's where my folks are from. Alright? I can afford to travel down there at least. My great-grandma was turning 93 and the family threw her a birthday party. This was in late August, so we went pretty late in the year. It was the hottest time of the year. I felt like a baked potato for sure.
Volkswagen, Adventure, Travel, Vw, Journey, Van

My mom, my grandma, me and my grandpa all went. We had a friend help us drive down there. We rented a minivan because why not? If you're going on a long drive you want legroom. I feel like a caged animal being in a small space for a long time.
~header image is from Pixabay but other photos are mine.



The photos will be out of order a bit. I don't remember the order they were taken in. Thay is my bad. We arrived at the hotel where the party was being held. It was rough with all the people but at least it was an open space and not a small one. I have to admit I have trouble recognizing my folks but they don't mind because we don't see each other often.













I used a selfie stick for the first time. My cousin had to help me set it up which is funny because I have to help my mom or grandma with their phones lol. I am going to have fun with this travel diaries.  It can get tiring when I have a little too much fun taking photos.











We ate at the Cracker Barrel before the party. It was a combo of an eatery and had a little country store. I didn't have money to buy anything. Which is why for this trip I am saving everything I can from my crypto blogs. I do have a lot of portrait mode photos. Can you believe it took me doing YouTube to break the habit of portrait photos/filming?
















There was a waterslide at the picnic. I don't care how old I am. I am getting in the water. It was hot enough for it down there for sure. I wish I did make a vlog for this trip. At least I made one for the sudden one.




























 I found these photos looking in my Google Drive. I should look through my photos more often.
 Got some photos while my folks were checking into the hotel. The lobby was so nice.


 Some photos were taken at the party. Look at all the people that were there.

Is this kid flexing in the water? Looks good though. I'd flex in water as well. This kid could be a model. Maybe a swim trunk model.
We stayed at a hotel and I got a crappy photo of the swimming pool. My mom would not let me bring my phone to the pool. She probably doesn't trust me with it.








 I think this was taken in the breakfast room.


At least my grandpa stopped for the photo. I think this was before we went into the hotel before the party.

I may have a part 2 if I find more photos. I am loving this travel diaries series where I post my travel photos.

Why Your Channel Isn't Growing On YouTube

It's hard not to blame YouTube's algorithm for the reason you're not growing. It's particularly on YouTube for not alerting the subscribers of your uploads. It's not all on YouTube though. It's somewhat their fault why you're not growing. Channel Appearance , does your channel make people want to check it out? Of course, no one is going to stick around if your channel has no banner, profile picture, attention-grabbing thumbnails. There are several tutorials you can look up on how to make graphics for your channel. Or you can pay someone on Fiverr to make graphics for you. Think of it as a book, the book has to have an attention-grabbing cover to make you wanna buy it. Or a movie, the movie has to have a good poster to get you to go see it. Sometimes, looks do matter. Sometimes, you do judge a book by its cover. I admit I don't have Photoshop skills. You can do some basic things on there. Your Channel Has No SEO ,  this is how people will find your v...

What You Will Need To Start Photography

Photography can be a fun hobby. It's an expensive hobby. This will be a guild to how you can be a photographer on a budget. Why spend more than you can afford? This blog will have affiliate links. I will just get a small reward for showing you some stuff at no extra cost for you. I will just suggest a few items. I suggest slowly building your gear. Get Yourself A Camera While your phone can work if you are just getting started, you are going to need a camera if you are going to be serious about photography. Your phone has restrictions like storage space. I always have issues with storage space on my phone. I record vlogs as well as photography and it's rough. I would highly recommend making a wish list of things you are interested in buying. You will need some photo editor apps. You can use canva, photoshop, lightroom, pixlr and many more. Editing your photos will make them look so much better. You Are Going To Need A Camera bag It's not really a requirement, b...

Why Self-Employment Is Better, Why I Recommend It

The job market changes, stores have to close because they aren't getting any business. Layoffs, getting fired. A lot of things can play a role in keeping employment. Some people cannot work due to an illness or disability that they may have. In my case, it will be impossible for me to find a job with the settings that I need, and because I have no experience. I figured, why should I spend all these years ( been looking for a job since 2015) when I can work towards self-employment. I will get into at the end how you can become your own boss. I feel self-employment is a tad easier to get, it won't happen overnight, but it will over time. I think being your own boss is better than working for some jerk who can fire you or cut your hours at many moment. Jobs Are Getting Harder To Find It's a lot harder to find a job now than it used to me. Technology is cutting all the jobs. At most grocery stores, they have the self-checkout lane. If people can save 10+ minutes waiting...
