Come talk to me on my Facebook Page, or on twitter. Here's the link.

(humming a beat)

(trumpets rising in tone)

(surprised scream)

- You're back again, ha ha, I didn't think

you were gonna come.
(loudly chewing)

Popcorn.

So, you want to get in to the mind

of an ADHD'er. Hmmm. Yes I'm

eating popcorn through my vlog.

(loudly chewing)

That's rude.

You want to know what it's like

to be in the head of an ADHD'er.

First you have to make sure that you're

talking to somebody
that actually has ADHD.

You might be wondering to yourself,

How do you know if an ADHD'er is actually

an ADHD'er or an ADD or whatever

they want to call it because I'm not

really quite sure what the

differences are anymore.

If you've ever seen this person say,

"I'm bored," sure fire way not ADHD.

For an example, I look
at this piece of popcorn,

that just hit me in the face.
(laughs)

It's got all kinds sides, all kinds

of colors, all kinds of smells.

All of your senses are constantly going

"What the hell is that?"
and then you eat it.

The thought is no longer there.

Alright. That doesn't
really apply to anything

but that piece of popcorn was good and

it was a good excuse to eat it.

Perfect example right there.

We are now completely off topic.

I, in fact, do have ADHD.
(bells and whistles going off)

I was diagnosed when I was

younger and I tried Ritalin.

Ritalin didn't really do anything

aside of make me not want to eat.

I find that a lot of
the people that I know

that have strong cases of ADHD

also have OCD, which is

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Here's an example of something that

I thought of when I was a kid.

I was sitting at the table and

I was watching a movie.

There was a piece of popcorn here,

and a piece of popcorn here.

(slide whistle playing)

Better.

There was two piece of popcorn,

do you think it would
bother anybody on the planet

to sit in-between two pieces of popcorn?

No, if it was two balls
of fire that were melting

your skin, okay you might want to move.

Me, on the other hand, it just drove

me nuts that there was no other

pieces of popcorn in the room and

I was sitting in-between them.

Secondly, I thought no big deal,

I'm just going to move over.

So I move over, then I realized the edge

of the coffee table is directly

in-line with my face. No big deal.

Or is it!?

It, in fact, is a big
deal and I'm not sure why.

But it's just one of those things that

comes with having OCD.

I think the part of me that has OCD

wants me to be more organized

but the problem is the ADHD part is

a lot stronger and forcing me to

forget that I was even thinking that

in the first place.
(loudly chewing)

Popcorn!
(laughs)

I intended to make this
vlog about something

completely different than what it is,

and then I decided to scrap that idea

because I thought it was
time to discuss ADHD.

I didn't want to be one of those people

on the internet saying I have ADHD

and not actually have ADHD,

so just to let you know I have ADHD

I actually have a letter from my doctor.

That's a receipt, but it doesn't

really matter because I can't really

show you it in person anyways.

I'm going to try to tell you, the viewer,

(horn honking)

Here's an example. I'm going to try

to tell...wowzers.
(horn honking)

I'm going to try that 19 times apparently.

(laughing sarcastically)

This was just a vlog that's going

to be insanely impossible to edit

because none of the ideas that

I had coincided with any other

ideas and it's just going to be

a rambling mess, it's not going

to make any sense at all, and it's

probably going to take me like

10 hours to edit it. Thanks a lot brain.

We'll see you next week.

For those of you that don't have

a youtube account, please make

a youtube account then subscribe

to the videos, then like the videos,

then rate the videos and all of

those things together will make me happy.

(intense drum beat)

And apparently make me

do a really long freeze frame.

(laughing and sighing).

(applause)
