SHNEAKO - DEPRESSION IS NOT REAL

00:00:00.000 Isn't that beautiful how it looks?

00:00:01.620 This ain't cheddar, this is quiche.

00:00:18.940 I've always been the type of person to be naturally inclined to think I'm a depressed person.

00:00:23.740 Because depression takes away the accountability of your failure.

00:00:26.520 If you can catch a chemical imbalance from the sky, then you being mediocre isn't your fault.

00:00:31.520 It's a disease.

00:00:32.340 If you're one of those people that gets an existential crisis as soon as you're alone with your thoughts, here's my advice for you.

00:00:37.960 I see depression as a race against time.

00:00:40.260 When my life is so busy I have no time to think about anything else than what I'm doing, I can't be depressed.

00:00:45.620 When my focus is on family, on my work, and on creating something new, mental health becomes nothing but a back burner.

00:00:52.080 Science still can't prove that there's a chemical imbalance where you can catch depression

00:00:56.420 But even if it is real, it's better to never acknowledge it at all

00:01:00.260 This is a city filled with people that will insist that you need to go to therapy to heal your past traumas

00:01:05.000 If you talk to anybody in therapy, they're the most miserable people around

00:01:08.680 Talking about their misery just becomes a pastime for them

00:01:11.520 And ideally you become a person that doesn't have time for any of that

00:01:14.440 So over the course of this daily, oh I should not do that

00:01:16.640 Over the course of this daily vlog, you're going to see me do all types of activities all day long

00:01:20.800 from going to random museums to going to my modeling agency to making short films to working

00:01:25.780 on my businesses. I'm going to pack my days up with as much as possible so I can run away from

00:01:30.620 my depression as fast as possible. I want to spend every single day looking forward, which is why I'm

00:01:35.180 attracted to a city like New York, even though I disagree with so many of the people here. Somebody

00:01:39.420 like Steezy from Texas will point out how many rainbows and Black Trans Lives Matter fists are 0.99

00:01:44.420 up. But this is a place where you're always going to have FOMO if you're not doing something. The

00:01:48.560 amount of movement, motion, business, artists, everything going on every single second of the

00:01:53.740 day, it's magnetic. And I don't find that in any other place. Every other city in the world just

00:01:58.520 seems to be a cheap replica of what this city does. I'm the type of person that's been medicated

00:02:04.160 since I was a child. They recommended antidepressants, everything. I tried to self-medicate

00:02:08.860 with weed, alcohol. I tried the partying. I tried every lifestyle. God helped me more than all that.

00:02:14.380 but what it really came down to was myself you should not be defensive about your depression

00:02:19.180 you should hate it you should actively try to get away as much as possible the more you talk about

00:02:23.660 it the more you're thinking about it and the more it's real you don't need to read every book by a

00:02:27.420 successful entrepreneur celebrity athlete they all say the same things reality is first manifested

00:02:33.420 in your brain if you're filled with positive thoughts your reality is going to be positive

00:02:37.580 if you're thinking about depression all day you're going to see gray gloomy thoughts it's funny right

00:02:41.980 now it is gray and gloomy but i'm choosing to see all the lights a perspective like this you could

00:02:46.540 see the clouds and the rain and the ugly piss water or you could see the opportunity at all

00:02:51.660 the flickering lights at every corner of the city new puff every day also my modeling agency from a

00:02:59.100 couple years ago hit me up to have a meeting and i don't want to go and i don't need the money

00:03:04.140 but it's a good side quest for vlogs

00:03:06.060 Solid workout, what I like about the schedule is I could do two shorter workouts during

00:03:13.980 the day, one in the morning, one randomly wherever I am. 0.97

00:03:24.400 This was a long fucking walk. 0.96

00:03:30.760 What do you guys think about getting one of those e-bikes? 0.99

00:03:33.040 Am I going to look like an illegal immigrant delivering food?

00:03:35.120 What would be cool?

00:03:35.940 Could put a GoPro on it

00:03:37.060 Deliver Chick-fil-A

00:03:38.100 There you go

00:03:40.060 Where do I go?

00:03:41.460 Six

00:03:41.760 Thanks

00:08:04.500 That wasn't even on perfect.

00:08:06.580 Okay, let's trade places.

00:08:08.160 Wait, didn't I come from this way?

00:08:11.060 I think you...

00:08:12.160 Well, I started out in this direction.

00:08:14.540 Oh, you're leaving?

00:08:15.940 No, I'm in the middle of it.

00:08:17.760 Did you start from here?

00:08:19.380 No, I started from right now.

00:08:20.560 Oh, yeah, then I went the wrong way.

00:08:22.000 Oh.

00:08:23.040 You're going the right way.

00:08:24.460 Okay.

00:08:25.780 I think this gentleman here figured it out for us.

00:08:28.060 Have you ever walked into a glass door, like at a cafe or something?

00:08:31.900 Yeah, many times.

00:08:32.920 Yeah, like three, four times.

00:08:34.120 I can see you doing that for sure.

00:08:35.660 Yeah, it happens too many times for me.

00:08:39.060 If there are any objections as to why these two should not be re-wed, you probably want

00:08:45.040 to keep that to yourself.

00:08:47.560 Take care.

00:08:48.400 Are they part of the museum or are they just people renewing their vows at the museum?

00:08:53.040 i think they're just like yes yeah i don't think it's an exhibit i was thinking about objecting

00:09:09.920 i think i just got curved the angle i this would hit on shrooms

00:09:22.240 What do you like so much about Basquiat?

00:09:23.820 I don't know.

00:09:24.320 I think mainly just because he's someone that looks like me, you know?

00:09:30.060 He's half Haitian.

00:09:31.040 Half Haitian, half Puerto Rican.

00:09:32.800 Oh, wow.

00:09:33.340 Well, it was.

00:09:34.020 He did used to be one of my favorites.

00:09:36.480 Used to?

00:09:37.160 He used to. 0.99

00:09:37.720 And then when I started doing the red pill stuff, you're like, oh, wait, this guy was a gay prostitute heroin addict, you know? 0.99

00:09:44.340 And you're like, oh, this is not really red pill. 0.92

00:09:47.000 One of his pieces used to be my desktop background.

00:09:49.480 But I think I kind of forced myself to not like him because of his life

00:09:52.780 But you got to separate the art from the artist 0.93

00:09:54.280 A lot of artists are gay

00:09:55.980 A lot of good artists

00:09:58.720 Yeah

00:09:59.120 You know, Frank Ocean

00:10:00.740 Yeah

00:10:01.340 I think Michael Jackson had a little

00:10:04.560 No, Michael Jackson

00:10:05.560 No, no, no, that's Mike

00:10:06.660 That's Mike's not gay 0.99

00:10:07.580 You said that's Biggie?

00:10:11.460 I'm asking you

00:10:12.380 I think that's just a New York pimp

00:10:14.600 Look at the back

00:10:15.660 Best song today.

00:10:24.080 Over here, to your right.

00:10:45.660 There's a lot of steezes. 0.96

00:10:59.660 I would give this place a solid 8 out of 10.

00:11:12.660 Can I get a picture with you?

00:11:14.660 Yeah, sure.

00:11:16.660 Hey, what's going on?

00:11:44.320 A little something.

00:11:46.200 They could in L.A.

00:11:47.080 It's an experience.

00:11:47.860 Yeah.

00:11:48.400 I mean, I had a good experience without it.

00:11:50.020 Yeah.

00:11:50.720 Yeah.

00:11:51.960 Why don't you like Keith Haring?

00:11:53.260 What?

00:11:53.480 I'm more of a Jackson Pollock type guy.

00:11:56.220 I make a Keith Haring on a woman every... 1.00

00:11:58.260 I mean, fuck, I fucked it up. 1.00

00:12:17.960 Was it good?

00:12:19.700 Not at all, no

00:12:20.560 Ariana's funny in it 0.99

00:12:22.280 Is she?

00:12:22.720 Ariana's a new comedian

00:12:23.680 Does she take Ozempic in it?

00:12:25.000 Yeah, I mean it looks like she's off Ozempic

00:12:26.680 CZ recommended to me this movie called Anora

00:12:29.840 It's about a Russian stripper in Brooklyn 0.52

00:12:31.820 On paper, you would hate it

00:12:33.460 But on screen, really good

00:12:47.580 Not diving into cancel stuff

00:12:50.320 But when you're streaming

00:12:51.120 It's like what else are you going to talk about besides the truth 0.89

00:12:53.120 I don't just want to be like a clown 0.99

00:12:55.040 Or be a sucker for corporations 0.99

00:12:56.940 I'm going to say the truth 0.98

00:12:58.180 And then you realize that nobody else is saying it

00:13:00.180 Then you kind of get angry

00:13:01.000 And that becomes the content

00:13:03.200 It goes down that rabbit hole

00:13:05.980 Yeah, it's funny to say racial slurs 1.00

00:13:07.780 But every minute

00:13:09.380 Yeah

00:13:10.020 Where does it go?

00:13:11.500 You know, is this my whole career?

00:13:13.520 Just spamming the M-word?

00:13:15.200 Alright, we're going to a Chelsea market

00:13:16.440 This camera does take a while to turn on though

00:13:18.480 You had this the whole time?

00:13:20.220 Yeah

00:13:20.540 Where did this come from?

00:13:21.500 What?

00:13:21.920 I swear, I thought you had a Merce, a man purse on 1.00

00:13:24.540 You thought it was a man purse?

00:13:26.040 Yeah, I didn't know

00:13:26.480 You think I'm wearing a man purse?

00:13:27.080 I saw this little, like, satchel thing

00:13:28.960 Yeah, bro, it's a VHS camera

00:13:30.320 You didn't use that once in there

00:13:31.400 What are you doing?

00:13:32.480 You know how you used to, like, be able to hit technology back then?

00:13:35.100 Yeah, like a TV

00:13:35.860 Yeah, like a TV

00:13:35.900 Or the VCO 1.00

00:13:36.760 Usually if it fucks up, I just I just smack you punch it. It's a place the city's really what? 0.98

00:13:41.720 It's just really

00:13:43.720 Flamboyant that's not a bad word flamboyant. It's really flamboyant because I'm coming from Texas

00:13:48.260 You know like it's it's a shock for me. Texas kind of getting blue when we were watching a Dora in the front

00:13:54.440 The girls like and I'm gonna take half your money, and then there were two girls go 1.00

00:14:00.860 I've never don't quit me doing that, but I've never seen somebody snap yas in a movie theater 0.99

00:14:06.760 I went on the train afterwards, and then this guy comes up to me, he's really high on reticles, and he's like,

00:14:12.460 What did you think about Wicked?

00:14:14.220 And he's like, yeah, this is just like really what we needed, you know, after the election.

00:14:18.700 Like, this was our voice.

00:14:20.700 You know, this is really a political movie, if you really think about it.

00:14:23.720 So, it's just something that we all needed.

00:14:25.800 It's a musical theater movie.

00:14:27.340 What would you expect?

00:14:28.280 I didn't see...

00:14:28.900 What did you think it was for?

00:14:30.040 Wicked's musical theater. 0.98

00:14:34.060 Bitchin'. 1.00

00:14:34.900 I like this fisheye. 0.99

00:14:35.860 This does not look like pizza.

00:14:37.860 It's a sandwich.

00:14:39.860 This is pizza?

00:14:41.860 Sorry?

00:14:43.860 This is pizza?
