Christina, we are so honored that you parodied our video! We laughed all the way through, enjoying all the little hidden details (and some that were even psychic in nature -- your belt, for instance, is the exact same belt that I wear every day in my "normal" clothing -- how did you do that?? But even more, your parody is POWERFUL. It's a strong reminder of inequities -- not just financial, but in access to natural areas, access to quiet, access to safety -- in a culture that often just thinks that it's about money, this is a reminder that there are so many "intangibles" that are left out of the equation. What, for instance, happens to a human mind if it breathes fresh forest air for a week, as opposed to "the aroma of ganja and fried chicken". And then, interwoven into everything, is how you retain your magic, even in an environment that doesn't exactly promote a magical view of the world. It gives hope -- that even in places where people are facing environmental challenges to health and wellbeing, we have the power to bring magic into the world. And you're not just doing it in your own life, but reaching out to do it for so many others (well over a thousand people as I type this). Who could watch any of your videos without being touched -- reminded that yes, things can be difficult, in their own ways, for all of us, but that our attitude matters -- we can bring humor and magic to whatever our situation is. So many things this brings up. What is "enough"? How can my family be inspired by you to bring our own magic to the world? What is "fair" in life? Finally, the observation that even in the "ghetto", there are others with magic. Old trees standing among the cigarette filters, watching as the humans scoot around in their endless dramas, always going, always moving. The huge wood sorrel, childrens' favorite wild edible, growing up around the plastic comb. Wow. What a treasure. Thank you for the insight, the love, and the magic you always bring to all of our lives. You ARE the queen of a mystical realm.
Oh my goodness! You have brought so much brightness to my day! I often struggle with maintaining a positive outlook, but I do try to focus on the beauty! Even if I'm stuck in traffic I will look up at the sky or the trees and try to let the chaos fade from view (while still remaining alert, of course!) I'm about to drive out to a park now to go for a run (training for a 30k to see what I'm capable of!) 🏃🏼♀️ Getting out into nature is so essential for well being! I'm so happy that you enjoyed my little excursion around da hood! Lol! Thanks for the inspiration! ☺️💚✨️🌲✨️☘️
I went for a walk the other day and ever since I watched this video I keep my eyes open…and today I found a perfectly good safety pin….thank you Christina for opening my eyes! Lol ❤😂
This reminds me of when I lived in the cheap motels in Gatlinburg when I was about 20. There was never a dull moment, because if somebody wasn’t being drug out of their room by their feet by the police, then there would be at least one fight happening at all times in the parking lot which was like the commons area. The motel was laid out exactly like a jail and all the same people lived there also. While it wasn’t the best place to find a girlfriend, I never had to worry about leaving the TV out in the parking lot for movie night. Everyone would gather around with their 40 ounce hurricanes And we would have a good time together until the police show up to drag someone else out of their room face first. It burned in the fire a few years ago but I’m one of the few people left alive to remember how pleasantly ghetto it was. One time we found out there was somebody staying in the attic making meth and I didn’t even know there was an attic until they pulled him out of that room lol.
Oh my god!! 🤣 This is actually giving me flashbacks of when I was dealing with my...umm..."socially challenged" brother!! Glad you survived that era of your life! I'm sure you've got a lot of stories to tell! 😘
@@Christina_the_Astonishing there was this one time everyone had a real bad bedbug infestation, and the slumlord refused to have the place treated so everyone started throwing their beds in the center of the parking lot in a big pile, and I was sitting on my porch, drinking a 40 and I yelled out to one of the people you got a burn them or else they’re just gonna crawl right back in your room and one guy said that’s a great idea and he set the pile of mattresses on fire and the flames were so big you could see them for miles away and the fire department came and put out the fire. I feel like we won the battle that day against the evil insects. Luckily, no one was arrested that day either lol.

“Ganja and fried chicken”😂 Hi Christina.. it’s been a while. I left the ghetto years ago and live in a semi rural town.. I’ll have to drop in more often for some lighthearted entertainment.. ❤ it would be nice if YT would send notifications once in a while.
Thanks, girl! My daughter would call your zone "sub rural" which is the only type of area she would want to live! :) I would love to go *beyond* rural, into remote lands! Thanks for swinging by!
You have an astonishing voice- you could do audio books or be a writer You articulate extremely well…u must be well read….your zest for life is also astonishing!
@@ameetbhar6078 YES!!! I DO!!! I've really been getting into ashtanga yoga! I'm getting so much stronger and my balance has improved significantly, but I can't do full lotus!
thats funny I watch the live cams of Kingsington and Figg st. we fixen to get the artic blast. Yall gettin the artic blast? Have you ever seen the videos of the animals with them talking? I really like RxckStxar. You got enough animals and a HUGE imagination. Just a suggestion. I'd like to see you make a living off ad sense. You deserve it.
Thanks! I don't make any money from UA-cam (unless someone donates to my PayPal!) I'll have to check out that channel you recommended! One night I was up really late and I somehow landed on a live cam of Santa's Village in Finland! The place was deserted except for one guy taking goofy selfies in front of the digital temperature display!! He had no idea he was being watched!! 🤣🤣🤣 I think we're supposed to get an arctic blast on Wednesday! 🥶
Thanks! This video is funnier if you watched the one tgat inspired me to make this! It's a parody from a good channel called ReWild University where the guy goes on a winter adventure through the forest where he lives! 😊
