Snare's gift to you...

Hi everyone... Apologies for the lack of blog lately, I have no excuse apart from me being lazy...!

However, here is a recent video that I posted to YouTube, which I hope you might enjoy:

...now that isn't lazy is it???!?!?!

No, I didn't think so either... ;)

Until next time,

Snare.

Digital Deviation...

You know when you have one of those days where you wake up and think “why am I still doing that?”

We I had one of those mornings today. I would put it down to being half asleep but after having a very engaging and inspiring discussion with a friend of mine last night, I had the good kind of motivation to take stock of my situation and look at ways to improve.

I’ve had some ideas rolling about in my head for a while and have decided that I need to concentrate on them if I want to make anything of them. It always comes back to my digital life. It’s very important to me. In fact I think out of most things around these days, my digital presence seems to help ‘define’ who I am. Some people have their work. Some people have their family. I have friends and facebook. It’s a situation where “real” vs. “digital”.

You might think that I’m being quite silly and extremely shallow. I’m not, but I’m in the process of travelling through my digital adolescence and growing my first digital pube… in fact I swear I’m also going through that stage where my digital teenager is infatuated with the hottie that is YouTube. He is constantly trying to get her attention but never gets to be her partner. All he can do is admire her from afar, accept her fleeting glances and just “man up”.

I know, I know. I’m getting all esoteric and pretentious again. I apologise.

I just wanted to keep you up to date with my thoughts. I know how important these blogs are to you. I just really wish that I could make a living from this digital life. Maybe one day when my younger (and obviously more attractive) digital self gets his first digital job.

Then we can start having some serious fun (…spot the oxymoron!)

Til next time,
Snare

Exciting News!!!

Hello!

My loyal readers.

Well what a fantastically wonderful day it has been. the sun has been shining through the clouds, glinting through the brief spells of rain as the aroma of fresh British dampness makes a lasting impression on me.

At this point you may be asking "what has happened to Snare? Why has he gone all pretentious?"

Well not really. I've just had some good news regarding the ol' YouTube account. You see, it has transpired that the lovely people at YouTube have decided to allow me to partake in their "YouTube Partnership" program, which allows me to receive a proportion of the ad revenue made from adverts on one of my videos. Before you say it - I fully understand that this is not a full YouTube partnership. For me, having a single video being permitted to show ads and make a few pennies is a damn good step in the right direction.

Making videos is something that I love, and to be recognised for it is fantastic. I can only hope that I continue to have the drive to keep making good quality videos and stop myself playing on the PS3... Seriously, that brilliant machine has eaten my life. If I spent my time making videos instead of playing games, I'd have so many more vdeos on my channel!

Although it feels like I've had a breakthrough this week, it has got me thinking about how i can start the wheels in motion to make this 'venture' of mine a viable concept and even stretch the dream and make a nominal income from it. Of course the big dream is to succeed and be able to make a decent living from making videos, but at this present time, that is not an option.

So in a good old fashioned, "have no shame" kind of way, I've created a donate button so that if you should feel compelled to reward me with your hard earned pennies, you can now do so below. It is so close to begging I'm a little concerned, so this will be the last thing said about it. It's your choice.

So, it's late and I need to get some sleep before I awake to another working week. I hope you all had a wonderful time. over the weekend and may many more come your way...!

Til next time,
