One Day.

So here we are. Another blog out of nothing. One day I’ll find a purpose for this expression other than just rambles. I think a big part is the chicken and egg. If people read it, I’d be more inclined to write. For me to sit down on a lunchbreak and rattle off some nonsense is very easy. The problem occurs when I have no direction, or reason.

I’d love to have a career doing something for myself like writing / making videos / but I’ll always feel trapped by the need to bring home some money to pay the mortgage and the bills.

For me, I’ve been lucky enough to work hard and keep a job with the same company for the last 10 years. Letting go of that would be stupid unless I had something to replace it. What I do at the moment is not my dream job but I always try my hardest to make what ever situation I’m in work for me. Deep down I know that if I were to make a hit at it with enough focus I could get somewhere. It’s the beginning that journey that scares me.

I wonder if you feel like that too?

Anyway I’m once again sat on my lunchbreak wondering what the future could hold and worrying that I’ll let life pass me by… Oh how depressing…LOL

I’m still in the progress of putting together the comeback vid for YouTube, which I hope will be great as it is in my head. Sadly the break from vlogging everyday has made me realise how much I enjoyed having time to do…er… nothing. I missed it and it is now starting to kill my motivation. This. Has. To. Change.

Here is a list of 2011 ‘things to do’ that I came up with last year:

Achieve 2000 subs on YouTube – I reckon I can do this!

 

• Learn how to use Final Cut Express
• Get familiar with Garageband (for audio scores etc)
• Buy a new HD camera (camcorder / DSLR to be decided)
• Write an article and get something published. Somewhere.

Well that’s all I can remember right now – but I hope that this brief 15 min blog will inspire you someway today. Please post a comment and let me know how you are feeling today!

Til next time,

Afternoon all. It’s been a while.

It’s been nineteen days since the big vlog finished and if anything it has taught me that free time is something not to be wasted. For a whole year I have spent everyday squeezing time in to make a video and all the while, I was perpetually concerned that I might not make it that day.

I know it’s been a few months since I posted, but it’s mostly because I’ve been in the zone with film making. I’m now looking at the big ‘comeback’ video that I hope will please my loyal subscribers on YouTube who have stood by me on such a ridiculous project. 2011 sees me being able to spend more time on each video, so the quality level has to improve, which is a totally different kind of pressure. Thankfully I have a lot of supportive friends that want to help me achieve this!

One of the most exciting aspects of the comeback is that it’s my first impression of 2011. I did post a half video on 8th January that was just to prove to my subscribers that I hadn’t disappeared, but the proper return will hopefully be as good on the screen as it is still in my head.

I must go now though as I don’t have long until I return to work and the humdrum of existence where I must forget about my creative desires and focus on paying the bills.

:(

Maybe one day things will be different…

Until very soon,

Snare.
