Hello, Earthlings!
You are watching Adam the Alien, and...
♪ On the first day of Christmas, ♪
♪ Adam the Alien gave to thee ♪
♪ an unscripted vlog because he's feeling merry! ♪
I am feeling VERY merry, because it is Christmas!
I am also feeling very tired.
And actually sitting down and recording this is not really ideally what I want to do now.
God this chair creaks!
PHHBBBH!
I am super-dee-duper out of practice.
What is the point of this?
Well, it makes the frame a little more interesting than just a talking head, and frankly it's
just a thing.
I talk with my hands.
Okay? Okay?
Are you happy?
[IN A DEMONIC VOICE] ARE YOU [CENSORED] HAPPY?!?
That was completely unnecessary, and also pointless.
Shall we move on?
[IN A DEMONIC VOICE] Yes, please, let's.
I said it was Christmas earlier, and it IS Christmas Day as I'm recording this.
However, being that it is...an hour I cannot see, because I wanted my computer's hum off,
so I turned it off, and I have no idea what time it is, and I don't know where that sentence started.
I think I was saying that this is not going up on Christmas Day.
But you know what?
I'm--I'm just gonna keep talking like it is the day that I am recording this on, because...
...it is.
You know this video is going terribly, right?
Oh Hell yeah!
But, I mean, I'm not gonna get back in the habit until I do a really [CENSORED] job at this.
Speaking of really [CENSORED] jobs, let's talk about Trump!
No. Let's not.
I don't actually want to, I just wanted to make that joke.
You know you're not funny, right?
Yes, I know I'm not funny!
Again, just gotta get back in the habit.
I have, over the years, fallen more and more out of the habit of video blogging, especially
unscripted, because I really like scripting.
I like writing, and I just don't always seem to have the time to do it before things move on,
or life interrupts, or there's distractions.
Ironically, I got into video because of writing, and then video took me more and more away
from writing.
So I've been working a lot more on writing, lately, and less on...this.
This isn't actually what I was going to vlog about.
This is the problem with unscripted, unguided, unpurposeful vlogs that I'm just recording
because I've gotta do it.
The month of December!
I love this month.
It's MY month.
I consider December my month because, in addition to LOVING the winter holidays,
there's one that's the most significant to me, and that is my birthday.
So what's happened in my month?
MY December?
♪ This is my December... ♪
NO! No!
What the--NO!
No!
Copyright infringement, just don't...just--just--just don't.
Th--That's two just don'ts.
Two of the three reasons not to do that are "Just don't."
Isn't the mean me supposed to sit on this side of the frame?
Shut the f--
Did I mention this is completely unscripted and I have no idea what I'm doing?
But it's kind of fun!
I'm enjoying myself!
We'll see if I'm still enjoying myself when I'm--when I'm editing it.
I'm pro--I'm probably not.
I'd say this month has been defined by amazing people.
Whether just hanging out, listening to people play music...

♪ The day I rob a bank's the first day of my life as an honest man! ♪

...or riding an adult-sized, spinning see-saw...
[ADAM LAUGHS]
[JESS LAUGHS]
[MADDIE LAUGHS]
[THERE'S JUST A LOT OF LAUGHTER, OKAY?]
Wheee!
[ADAM] Woohoohoo!
[JESS] Isn't it the most fun thing ever?
[MADDIE] Childhood is magic!
[ADAM LAUGHS]
...the activity doesn't really matter so much as the people.
Aooooow!
Ha HA!
Yeah!
The Rivermaster!
That was nerve-wracking.
I'm really, really thankful and grateful to have such amazing people in my life.
Speaking of amazing people, my partner visited me for my birthday.
And that was great, because we hadn't had time to really see each other in a while.
And I am a huge cuddlebug.
Don't you mean cuddleslut?
Is that supposed to be an insult?
Well, don't you just mean slut?
I feel like this bit is a bad idea.
It is! 'Cuz you're a f--
So this year, my birthday weekend also was the Project for Awesome weekend.
It's my favorite event of the year.
It's so wonderful.
It fuels me with a lot of hope.
I don't know if it's the Nerdfighter community here on YouTube...
(and...ki--the rest of the Internet, and the world)
...or if it's seeing how many people are so passionate about these wonderful causes, as
well as seeing how many people are willing to donate, and promote, and generally support
causes and charities and nonprofits that are doing wonderful things around the world.
Honestly, it's probably all of those and more.
But I'm meandering.
The point is: it warms my heart.
It feels me with hope.
It's just...beautiful!
All right, moving on!
Today was Christmas.
[DAD] It's the modern Christmas scene:
adults AND kids on their devices.
I love Christmas.
I love Christmas with my family.
I love all the weird things they get up to.
I love catching up.
I loooove Christmas carols!
♪ Oh tidings of comfort and joy! ♪
♪ And wonders of his love! ♪
♪ Nur das traute hoch heilige Paar. ♪
♪ Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! ♪
♪ Halleeeelujah! ♪
Speaking of Christmas music, that Sia album?
HOLY SH--
I can't get enough of it!
It's great!
Okay, seriously, this video is getting too long!
Can you wrap it up?
Okay! Okay.
Patience!
Patience, mon capitan!
Actually, you're--you're not mon capitan.
I am...tu capitan?
I--I don't--I don't know this language.
I am glazing over some bad stuff.
I'm gonna admit that right now.
One of the reasons I've really fallen out of the habit of video blogging
is that, for many years...
there are so many things that I feel like I can't, for one reason or another, talk about.
And tha--it's very hard to be truly honest and direct with the camera when there are
parts of myself that I desperately want to share, and talk about, and--and be real about!
But, for one reason or another, I--I can't.
It's honestly a life goal of mine to be as honest as I can.
Ideally, I want to get to a point where I have NO secrets.
The last decade of my life has been full of...a lot of joy.
But it's also been full of a lot of mistakes.
And it's been full of a lot of people that I wish I hadn't let as close as I did.
Even, in some cases...uh, within my own family.
In all instances, these are people I still care deeply about, but and want the best for.
I just...I don't want them in my life, and I don't want them to have the degree of control
over my life that I made the mistake of giving them.
So this is kind of where I'm at, as 2017 comes to a close.
A year which, hooo!
This year has been overwhelming.
My own personal life dramas continue as they always have, and then on top of that...
...well, we have the WORLD.
So I guess that's it.
Let's just this insanely directionless video blog...as, I suppose, most of mine have been.
Something...something to fix.
I'm always trying to experiment with my videos,
and I always WANT to be experimenting with them
and making them better.
And I always want to be making my life better, and making ME better; becoming a better person
according to my personal ethics and values.
I always strive to be better today than I was yesterday.
And I don't always succeed at that.
But I'm damn sure not gonna succeed at that if I don't continually make the attempt.
And so here we are, with a really weird, just all over the place video because I really
need to get back in the habit.
Like Whoopi Goldberg.
Except I'm not Whoopi Goldberg on--on just SO many levels.
There were a thousand possible different directions this could have gone,
based on when I started recording.
The original thoughts I had did not last to this video...AT ALL.
Just...I don't even remember what they were.
I know they were better, BUT they were also in my head.
And it's easier to think that things in my head are better than the things I actually produce.
Very easy.
But at the same time...it doesn't do any GOOD in here!
It's...it's not doing...it's not creating...zaaazzeeezoooahhhh WORDS!
sppPPBBLLHHHT!
Yeah, they're really gonna love you after THAT mess of gibberish!
Whatever, I don't care.
I'm gonna keep doing what I love.
I'm gonna be better at it.
I'm gonna keep improving my life, my self, and my...what I do.
All the things I do.
This being one of the things I'm doing.
You're doing it again! You're rambling!
Look! Look!
Now you're arguing with yourself, and you're not even doing the flippy side thing!
What the f--
All right. I've got an episode of Doctor Who to watch.
Doctor's gonna go through a bit of a gender swap.
Genderfluidity rocks!
Yeah.
Um, an'y'know if anyone lasted this long, I know the 4channers are gonna be like,
"Mmm. I got something to say about dat.
Mmhmm.
Euh-huh."
Here's a bit of honesty to close us out: no matter who you are, I truly, truly
hope the best for you.
I hope that your life is better tomorrow than it was today.
I hope you feel better, and more complete.
I hope you have a good life!
Even if you are one of the people who just loves to come in here to...feel better than me.
I hope you ARE better.
I hope tomorrow, I'M better.
So!
Until that tomorrow, I'm Adam the Alien wishing you all a very merry Christmas, happy holidays,
whatever you celebrated, are celebrating, or will celebrate, and a very happy new year.
I'm probably gonna wish you a happy new year again before the new year,
but I'm gonna wish it to you now.
Until next time, fare thee well.

Imagine what we'd do if we had the music!
