My Life Is A Mess!

[@Itzeruarts]

I kinda have the same problem, but I don't have stuff that still works hahahaha, they mainly just are with me for emotional reasons, but, as you said, sometimes we just need to let go things so we make room for new things (not necessarily physical things) to come :) I'm so happy to see you again, guys! :D

[@LiveEachDay]

It's hard and sometimes we don't even realize we have a problem but it's definitely good when we face it.

[@LiveEachDay]

Sometimes it's not about picking things up as much as it is about letting them go and that's was absolutely the case for me today. I've held on to the past for a LONG time but I'm learning to let go so I can grow.

[@sherylAA]

flashbacks whoa! I recently watched every single vlog of yours... I just watched the shock art vlog at the start of October 2020. I watched the Mac n Cheese video as well... Also you inspired me to purge a lot of my stuff.😊

[@demonicnature5172]

Please get chell and atlas a cuddle clean of Sparta and Loki So they can always remember them!

[@demonicnature5172]

Cuddle cloan* not cuddle clean lol

[@kristinpeterson5750]

When you finally do get rid of the things you don't need maybe look into hiring a professional organizer!

[@prettysimplemusic]

3:01 Thumbs up - for every time you come up with a great idea and your spouse says to you, "I just said that 3 minutes ago!!!" 🤣

[@THEsnapcrakklepop]

Also, how adorkable is it that you are so averse to tiny things but ecstatically enthusiastic about huge things! 🤣

[@LiveEachDay]

LOL, so true!

[@littleannilotti]

Did you fuse adorable and dork into one word? If yes I love it *-*

[@THEsnapcrakklepop]

@@littleannilotti yes 😅😁

[@cindydreams5130]

Haha! Never looked at it that way. Too funny.

[@littleannilotti]

@@THEsnapcrakklepop brilliant 😍

[@raychumon]

the nostalgia with those in-between clips... you're killing us cory 😭😂

[@latias272]

Gadget knows that putting shoes on means you are leaving the house. He's coming over and wants your attention so you won't leave just yet and instead give him attention.

[@LiveEachDay]

lol, probably

[@Pan-13]

You may be right. My cat loves my mother's feet when she's walking and never pays attention to mine. I'm always at home, I don't even go out to the shop in front of my house and my mom goes out everyday multiple times a day (not because she wants to but because she needs to work and she's always making favors to family members. I know she's selfless but I wish she weren't right now, because she's risking her life by taking care of my uncle who got covid. But there's the fact that I'm an only child, so I don't understand why she does that, when he has his own home and his wife to take care of him...)

[@Ryooki13]

Btw I haven't heard that ninja song in forever, and now it is going to be stuck in my head all day!!!

[@fletch61]

Love the Ninja song .. best bit was Cory smacking himself in the ear with the nunchucks

[@NickiPlague]

Oh Goddess memories of shockcollar shenanigans...

[@1337million]

I adore the throwbacks to your videos. WTF n Cheese made me laugh so hard the first time I saw it, and it still does!

[@tinamarie2121]

Right?! I'm legit cackling! I had forgotten!

[@carinaberglund2100]

Cory painting with the shock-collar, priceless. 🤣🤣🤣

[@brendanoakes1050]

I love seeing the old videos. They are just too good and there are in great placements in the videos. Also I think people are going to be wanting more interactions with others as they been alone for too long.

[@LiveEachDay]

Yeah, maybe people will be more social and talkative with strangers. That would be great to see.

[@elizabethpykkonen6062]

Its OK Kristen...mine doesn't hear me either lol I'll say something then few minutes later he says exact same thing and acts like he deserves a gold star for the thought!!! Lolol

[@tinamarie2121]

Mine does the same! Or he will tell a friend that HE came up with the idea on his own!

[@adventurouslyalexis]

Maybe keep 2 old cameras one for Chell one for Atlas. 📷

[@bubzilla6137]

Oh my gosh.... The shoes attracting Loki's immediate and desperate need for attention is both hilarious and adorable! 😂🤣😹😻💙

[@19sailormoonfan]

omg the cuts to older videos... the ninja song, the shock painting, the mac n cheese video (it was literally one of my most favorite videos on youtube back then) 😭😭😭 nostalgia for real

[@tdotson95]

God I haven't heard the ninja song in awhile EDIT: I'm five minutes in and I'm loving all the SMP Films references

[@Hennequing]

Ok, now I’m imagining a Covid-19 version of the Ninja Song “I’m a ninja, and I’m gonna get ya” To “I’m a ninja, or else I could infect’cha”

[@katieffatie]

God I remember like all these videos coming out. I love re-seeing those classic videos

[@BobRoss-bp2yv]

For some odd reason just seeing you makes me happy, Cory. Thank you.

[@dannydanny9875]

Loving the SMP Films Throwbacks! :-D

[@allgoodmusic86]

Loving the older clips! Also, if you're "letting go" of cameras that you won't use again, think of the new creators who would LOVE to have them! eBay baby!!!! Of course, you already know that. ;-)

[@prajktag7308]

I am SOO happy to see you back on KZbin Cory. I truly missed you and your quirky personality and your MADNESS!!!!! Love you guys.😊😊😊😊👍👍

[@noelletroupe4496]

I can’t believe how big your babies are getting🥺 I remember watching the pregnancy journey with Chel... so great to see you guys!

[@pickletubetv]

What a Segway to throw in the ninja song love it.

[@lypscratch]

These things built who you are, served as foundation for the beginnings of your family. Love it and let it go is the hardest and most important thing we get to do. Sending you love and strength.

[@wk4368]

CORY! I kid you NOT I just watched the WTF n Cheese video the other week! And when you would pressed the “push to start” in the car and do the screaming zoom - Such a classic. Miss those days

[@angelarivard8326]

I’m so happy to see you guys!! I hope to see you again soon!! As always, thanks for sharing!!

[@RetroPokeGamer17]

I do remember all those old videos Cory. It truly has been an amazing, funny, sad, life changing journey I've shared with you these many many years. Cory...I looks forward to many more years as well. Thank you for helping me to live as well and change and grow in my life as well! :)

[@Dudeonwheels]

Man I was hoping you'd show a clip of the Ninja Song when you mentioned people being ninjas. You didn't disappoint.

[@Dudeonwheels]

Same with the giant spoon and "WTF n Cheese."

[@CraftcoreDIY]

I'm going through this process as well, going through old art supplies and projects, some abandoned, some perpetuallyon pause, some of literally no value yet somehow feels important when trying to cull items. My husband and I have decluttered a lot the past few weeks and the feeling of space is so valuable so it's motivating to continue. All the space for ACTIVITIES, woohoo. Can't wait to see the transformation on this room. :D

[@Musichowler]

First step in organization I had to learn: PURGE!!! Get rid of the things you don't use! It will create space for you to move and breathe in. Good luck man. :-) I miss malls and people watching too. The isolation is just...sad. You help with that, you know. Thank you both for sharing your life with us.

[@Galaxy_Runner33]

Cory, I've watched your videos for years. I have to say it's been really cool to see you figuring out what makes YOU happy and how YOU live each day the best way you & your family can. This year has been rough, it's been terrible at times, and as someone who's finally figuring out how life works for them, it's being really cool to watch someone I've followed literally since they first were on youtube over a decade ago, being happy & living their life in ways that make them happy & motivate others at the same time. Definitely these are the best videos you've put out, and they're just so encouraging! Thank you for being you, and your family, it really is beautiful. :)

[@finecallmejane]

This is a mood with organizing and letting go. It's SO HARD to release things that once held such an important part of our lives.

[@NorthSwede]

Any plans on making a new intro for your vlogs? I remember the old Alaska intro it was so catchy it got stuck in my head all the time hahah :)

[@cindydreams5130]

Kristen, your hair looks so beautiful that short! Love the flashbacks inserted into this video!

[@virginiagrenier8572]

One thing I've learned from the minimalism videos is to ask 3 questions 1) Do I love it? 2) Do I use it? 3) Would I buy it again? If I can't say yes to all 3 questions pass it on to someone who will appreciate it rather than having it sit around collecting dust at my house.

[@tAntaresArt]

I love the retro throwback snippets. I haven't seen those videos in years!

[@VTL77]

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I still think about your Epic Mac every time I see a big spoon or fork somewhere. lol Good luck with the mess. And Gadget might be reacting to you putting on your shoes because he knows it means you are leaving the house. Cats react when people start packing a suitcase, too. He knows you're leaving and he's letting you know he doesn't want you to go.

[@ingeh6135]

Love how you added 'older' clips, but indeed just let it go😉 less things to think about, less clutter in your head. At least thats what it is for me.

[@dagman85]

Cory, thanks for processing through your mess out loud for us to follow along! I have some very similar boxes of computer parts and cables, and I probably could have said almost exactly the same things you said. So you may well have helped me to move forward in my own process of cleaning out some of the clutter in my life. Thanks again!

[@jennymcaninch]

Ohhhh how I’ve missed those “goodbye”’s🙋🏻

[@simonaserafimovska7982]

Omg Cory, the video, the memories, the old videos, how can i forget, till this day i remember the titles, make poop, chuck norris, stupidity, shame on you nintendo, my wierd dream, midnight, hard head fail, walking, how to be a man, death of cooking, the art of being lazy, and many more, i always watched you in class and my classmates would say, who's that weird guy, and i always got offended and said "he's not wierd, he's not ashamed of being himself, he's creative!". Stupidity was my ringtone back then! After this video i played it and got shook that i still remember every single word like it was yesterday! Also the camera is soooo good! Makes you like in a film! And also that G-BYE in the end.... It feels so blessed hearing that again! I'LL ALWAYS WATCH YOUR VIDEOS, NOT EVEN KZbin CAN STOP ME! I'll always search your videos! Lots of love! ❤️

[@chase1146]

you know cory, your videos are probably something i really needed in quarantine. my province is on full lock down right now. i havent left the house in any meaningful way since july. and just now watching this video i realized i had a smile on the whole time. just wanna say thank you.

[@shannonkatherine]

Cory! The new camera sounds and looks amazing!

[@Emilyb5164]

I’m not even finished with the video yet and I LOVE the flash backs!

[@HawkTear]

I had to pause the video for a couple of seconds, store wisdom is the best wisdom I guess. And you are right Cory. You need to let go of some of the material things. You can save some of it, but not all, as momentum. Memories are good to have a trigger for. ❤ Stay safe Williams family 💗

[@schweinekillerlp2245]

The new camera quality is awesome!

[@MrsShortShoes]

I love all the old footage! I have watched you so long and love to see it!

[@LivingWithSpinaBifida]

I love all of these flashbacks!

[@Sylverwynde]

Letting stuff go is one of the hardest things to do. Good for you Cory.

[@lamllemaussade]

I’m loving all the SMP throwbacks in these new videos. 🥰

[@Hennequing]

Oooh! That WTF and cheese video xD Nostalgia! And the shock collar drawing video xD

[@RoseTheWolf36]

I have so many curios on my shelves over the years that mean so much to me. Some things that are invaluable like the ashes of my childhood best friends (cats), to a drumstick I caught at an Arch Enemy concert, all the way to an old Club Penguin EPF DS case and plush dolls. Items do become sentimental :)

[@lilactreehouse]

You are a brilliant guy Corey, you have new big successes coming your way...let the old stuff go.

[@AmbiCahira]

Oh my God the nostalgia of the Ninja song! 😍😍😍 I've been feeling the need for a cleaner space too lately to have better energy and focus!

[@thebigloc1]

I remember shock collar video and you eating with the giant spoon and giant glass 🤣😂🤣 Thanks for making me laugh. The people on the bus to work by to work must think I am weird 🙂. Well maybe...

[@priyeshgarje5976]

Was not expecting that "Ninja Song"...!! 🤣🤣 Was awesome though....You can try that to make a complete song...!!

[@fletch61]

Aww the shock collar and Ninja days ... If my hubby gets something new for his computer room I make him get rid of something 1 in 1 out ... if you haven't used it for a year or more bin it !!

[@littleannilotti]

I soooo love the throwbacks xD

[@STEF88988]

Loved the call back to I’m a Ninja

[@Nutamu]

here's a challenge...try making a video using all your cameras in one video. It will perhaps help you appreciate what you have even more and help you realize which cameras you don't want to carry on using in the future. Also you're very fortunate to have so many. When my old compact sony cybershot stopped reading cards...I was devastated. It was a gift from my dad who had since passed. I couldn't afford a new one and thus just couldn't take photos/video for 2-3 years. Last year my mom gave me a new cybershot for christmas. I'm so nervous of breaking it, I've barely used it lol My new years resolution is to use it way more, and get back into the habit of photographing my world.

[@ThornePleiades]

The "WTF N' Cheese" video is still one of my favorites

[@selenamarino5203]

HAHA! The ninja song. What a throwback😂

[@DelphinSquared]

Honestly, I think Gadget is just clingy to you cos shoes = you are going out.

[@Dudeonwheels]

I am 100% in favor of watching redos/updates/sequels to some of those smpfilms videos!

[@Historian212]

Oh the fun flashbacks! Totally get the tendency to associate things with memories. One way to think about stuff you don't want but still works is to donate or sell them, knowing that the next person will use them on their own journey. Just as you don't want to stagnate, sending usable things along puts them back in the flow of life. Just a thought. PS nice masks you guys were wearing!

[@eclipsemoon2b]

I remember the WTF cheese video!!! I loved it !!! BTW I still have the SHOCK COLLAR painting!!!!

[@cindyreddeer]

Every clip brings back memories of back in the day. Remember you guys shopping while doing the shock collar thing. Your Ninja was always fun. Cheese & Mac... so much mac & cheese. XD

[@THEsnapcrakklepop]

You should see my house right now. We just had a baby and my toddler is having to quarantine so I’m getting nothing done! My house is sooo messy right now and it is s t r e s s i n g me out!! 😆 As far as the kitty biting thing, maybe when he hears your shoes he knows it means you’re leaving and he wants a proper goodbye!

[@LiveEachDay]

I TOTALLY get it! It's not easy and I feel for you.

[@blaizeharkens]

It's really hard when there's emotional baggage attached to stuff. When my mom passed away unexpectedly I "inherited" all of her clutter. I was engaged and planning on moving 2 states away at the time. I ended up bringing so many boxes that I just couldn't bring myself to go through. Only now, 5 years and two kids later, am I able to go through them objectively. Hoping to finally have a garage to park my car! It's still hard but it's not quite so raw.

[@ElShrimpy]

hahaha, wtf n cheese is like one of my FAVOURITE ones! I still watch that from time to time xD

[@agnes998]

It’s the weirdest thing...I watched your video and I kept having flashbacks!

[@Lynn17]

Aww, Gadget. I think he just really misses his big brother and he wants lots of attention from you. Hey, ninjas! I never thought to look at the mask orders that way, I could get behind that! I REMEMBER WTF AND CHEESE. I think after this is all over people will be more mindful about certain things-washing their hands, staying home if they're sick, not crowding other people in stores or on line. Basically we'll have the old normal, just with more common sense.

[@fralinsandfriends]

Oh, gonna hold you to that. I clean and organize and in a day or two it's a mess again. 😁👋💖

[@truckinman86]

Nice. Ninja song callback!! I remember the Ninja song, back when you teased it with the “I’m Getting Old” video.

[@Black-Swan-007]

I have boxes and boxes in my closets of stuff I haven't seen or had a use for in YEARS. When I think about cleaning out some old stuff I end up on a trip down memory lane and then I don't get anything done. I can't let go of these things, because without them the memory doesn't exist for me. I only remember when I see and hold the item the memory is tied to. It's very hard to let things go. Letting go means losing that memory and I can't bear it.

[@SwirlingSoul]

KRISTEN!!! You touched the cart, and then your face! whaaaa!

[@jane.c.c]

Its so hard to get rid of stuff.. I'm having a clean out.. just like you and it's taking me foreverrrr!!!

[@adambennett805]

I came here expecting a tidying video but this feels like a poetic metaphor

[@JezebelDarling]

Oh I love At Home. Such a fun store. Did Kristen do something different with her hair? Looks super pretty today. Also I definitely forgot about the ninja song.

[@noname420h6]

Can't wait to see the game you've been working on! Sadly I don't have a VR headset yet but still interested in it

[@MultiPurposeReviewer]

Ah, the Ninja Song. I love that one.

[@Haveaniceday80]

Ah the ninja song...love it! ❤️

[@kimw8054]

1st time watching a cleaning motivational vid and no one actually cleaned!! Start of a new trend!!!

[@BlackCat_2]

If something, like those cameras, have specific memories attached but you don't need or have a use for it anymore then take a photo of them individually then put the photos in an album or scrapbook with a note about the memory. Then you will always be able to remember but won't have a bunch of clutter. :D - Heidi

[@grankethamajor9109]

OMG your problem is my problem ! My work place is a freaking mess. I feel your pain.

[@serki5624]

Hey Cory, if you like getting out of the house so much, I have an idea you and your wife could do again. It's the rejected food items challenge, and you could make dinner for your family with what you find. I've always enjoyed that challenge. And by the way, it's good to see you making vlogs again, I've missed the "Goodbye!" wave you do at the end of every vlog.

[@Afrieal]

Cory those sterilite drawer container things work wonders for cord storage, i have family that are musicians and that's how they store their spare mikes, cords and the occasional pedals and such. Getting rid of the extras is a good start but the drawer containers are good as well they are stack-able and you could use contact paper on the frames to make them match the room. keep an eye on the weight of stuff that goes in them though if something to heavy gets put in them they can warp.

[@green_willowtree]

What you need is a nice built-in wall cabinet in that room with cupboards and drawers. As for the old cameras, why don’t you take a photo of each one (maybe with a Polaroid), with a nice background. And make a photo collage of them and put it in a nice frame! Then you can recycle or sell the old cameras because you have a photo memory of each one turned into art to look at each day.

[@sharkfinz6]

im lovin the retro clips!!!

[@simplydanlrene4276]

When we moved back east from CO, we had to decide what we were going to keep and what we were not. At first it was really hard cause we did not want to let go of anything. Then as time went on it became easier to let go. I pray it becomes easier for you.

[@HazardOfExistance]

So Gadget is a biter? 🤔 Sparta's legacy lives on!

[@brandonvansnick5411]

Love the ninja song was just singing that the other day

[@SassySmall1]

Are the kids excited for Christmas? If you guys do the Santa thing it would be cute to see the kids talk about their wishlists

[@ashrafzamanprototype]

I have always liked the vlogs where you would go shopping; really enjoyed the ones in Alaska, and it's nice to see one again, albeit in a much different state. Being from a very different country to US, it's really cool to experience the retail shops through someone else's eyes. I also used to love the vlogs where you would go on adventures with your metal detector! Good times. :')

[@bluerosespann9025]

Sorry been so extra but you 2 are so awesome together awesome that's all I want to say so much fun so much fun!

[@celldweller1982]

i love the ninja song, your making me have SMPEnvy lol

[@SusyTH]

Oh my! 6:55 This is so like my husband. Living with that 24 hours a day! So quick witted.

[@bluerosespann9025]

Is always good get rid of the things that you don't need to make room for the things that you know that you really need or you just have a good open space to think and there's no need to put anything in it. Just be open to the opportunity to live in that empty space to make it your own and never overthink it that's what I do.

[@losethetone]

When did the portal tv/living room become your office?!?! Did you change your upstairs play room and office, too?
