- I'm a bit
embarrassed to say I watched that last video more than
a few times. It's kind of an out of body experience.
As I used to explain on "The Journey", I'm a
viewer and reader just like everyone else after the
fact. I see "Adam" as a guy on the screen and
writing within the entries because once it's past? It
honestly does seem like someone else. So some thoughts
at this dude now, as a 3rd person viewer:
-
- He seems both
younger and older than his years... you can see the
aging in his eyes, a certain mellow throughout that
makes his bounciness sometimes seem forced. But
I don't see 40 next year. He's not completely
dead inside. LMAO. Not that I think 40 is dead
inside, but I don't think it's a stretch to say
the "dreamer" fades by that age. This guy is excited
about this ridiculous minigolf project and although
I know the readers/viewers skimmed over it at the
beginning - there's no denying that it's working.
Working, simply meaning that other people now believe
in it and want to be a part of it. It is very much
like the 4tvs idea 15 years previous. Both hadn't been
done before, both required a suspension of common
sense and more than anything? The ability to keep
moving forward even when the future was blurry. It's
interesting and I want to see where this takes
him. Alright, back to me:
-
- I FEEL OLD.
LMAO. I feel 70. I was indeed shocked to watch that
video of me talking about the project and announcing
all the cool "Back To The Future" stuff and I saw
a sparkle. The "take on the world" Adam that I can
honestly say has vanished since 2009. But now it's
back... for minigolf? It seems strange, but I've
always just been a guy who gets off on doing things no
one has tried to do before. And believe me, I've
researched backyard minigolf courses. Uhm. I want to
help them. A lot. Forget the fact that I have 9
and the website and the PGA tour style of events
and scoring, etc. Just well made holes? Jesus no one
is even close. I saw an HGTV episode where
they put 3 holes in someone's yard (with a fucking
windmill and it looks trashy as hell) and the design
was just bad. Not subjectively, but, like... no one
will do it more than once or twice because there's no
real skill involved. So it really does seem I'm the
only man on the planet to go this
hardcore.
-
- So what the hell?
I mean we're all just trying to figure out who we are
in our lives, right? What a bizarre chapter this is,
ya know? Sure it goes along with creativity, but it's
to such an extreme you have to wonder if there's
actually something wrong with me. Then again, maybe
I just am young at heart. I just always
believe I can do it until I can't. I sure
hope I pass that onto my kids. Live long and
prosper...

-
- Live to 2118 Cam
and keep attempting shit until you fall on your ass.
Then get up and attempt something else. When you do
that? You may end up with a Back To The Future reunion
in your BACKYARD while dedicating a freaking minigolf
hole to them.
-
- What the serious
hell, man. Happy 3 months son!

- Adam
