Zebra Sarasa Ballpoint Pen
🕑 Added 2022-06-12 13:40:18 +0000 UTCHey everybody,
Hope all is well with you. This video features a ballpoint pen from Japan that looks like it might be a winner. Made by Zebra, the Sarasa Grand is made of metal and thus has a nice hefty, tactile feel to it. I think I'm going to like it and will give some final thought on it at a later time after I've used it for a few weeks.
On another note; someone left a comment under one of my videos basically saying that all my videos are alike and boring. Perhaps they are right. It shouldn't have, but the comment did bother me a little only because I have so many other videos I still plan to make, of content that really is different than the usual pens and catalogs.
The problem is that some of those will take more time and energy than the typical video that I do, and honestly, I just have not not had the time and energy to make them, though the desire to make them is alive and well. Because my channel is about the simple things I do when I am relaxing, to force myself to make a video would only somehow cheapen my channel. I feel very fortunate that all of my videos have been, for the lack of a better word...real. I never make a video just because I feel I must. When the camera is rolling, it is because I am interested in whatever I am doing at that moment.
When you watch a video of me tinkering with something, it is because I actually wanted to tinker with it. I only share my casual relaxing moments because the making of the video has become an enjoyable hobby within a hobby. I actual get to piddle around with my various hobbies and pursue the video hobby at the same time and share with people the things that interest me. Quite amazing really that people even care enough about and enjoy the little things that I do.
Many of you know that my wife is ill. Her condition continues to worsen and pulling double-duty, so to speak, has left me quite busy and quite exhausted to say the least. Even as I type this I have had to stop to check on her. So, I have been looking for small pockets of time to take care of myself the best way i can with exercise for my body and relaxing at my desk for my mind. These pockets of time can be fleeting and I try to take advantage of them when they are available. Took a bike ride yesterday, though not even close to the usual 20-25 mile trek that I prefer, and I hope to take a short walk sometime today. When I made this Sarasa pen video I was quite excited to make it because I have had this pen for a while and have been looking forward to trying it out, and so when a little window of time popped up I leaped at the chance to unwind a bit and also share with you this moment, the same type of moment that I used to take for granted. These moments are now, in a way, so much more special to me.
Currently I have been wondering if I will have enough of these little pockets of time to build up a small collection of videos that I can release down the road sometime to keep the channel from stalling out when I am too heartbroken to make a video. I'm saddened to have even typed that last sentence. Why am I telling you all this? I guess because you are my patrons and I figure you probably wonder about me a little more than a typical subscriber might. Not to worry though, I enjoy this video hobby too much to give it up and my wife would be disappointed to think that I had. So stay tuned, more videos to come.
Thank you for your patronage. It has never been taken for granted.

To say your videos bring joy and comfort to many, would be an understatement. Please don't let one negative comment affect that. I don't know exactly what the situation is with your wife, but miracles do happen. Thank you for what you do and I hope we'll get another baseball card video in the near future.

We don't know each other, not really. You may recognize my screen name, and perhaps you may recall that we've communicated in the comments, but we're not friends. I wish we were, because your videos over the years have meant so much to me, and I regret that I'm unable to provide comfort to you in a difficult time the way a real friend would. Having said that, please know that I'm saddened to hear of your wife’s health problems, and my thoughts are with you and your family. Regarding your content, I would encourage you to dismiss the negative comments of single viewer. I feel certain that the vast majority of your subscribers and patrons are here for your words, your comforting voice, and the peace it brings them, not a show. Please continue to be yourself.

So sorry to hear of your wife's condition. She is fortunate to have found you and your dedication to her is remarkable no doubt. Pay no mind to a negative comment such as that. You're videos are relaxing and if they were exciting, I wouldn't be able to fall asleep! Your channel is the only one I donate to and for a good reason, I'm most likely not to hear the end of yours. Wishing you both the best.
