Well hello there my friends. It's been a while since anyone has heard from, or seen me in the digital world. I must say its been a busy year. I've been spending most of my time doing a bad job of balancing work and life. A few years ago I made a year long video blog and I think that helped me to maintain a focus. I felt like I had a purpose for 12 months. However hard it got, however many people looked at me funny when I made my excuses to run away and talk bollocks in front of the camera everyday, I can say I'm actually one of the few people who has an entire year of their life documented in video.
But enough nostalgia.
This year I haven't made a video. Maybe that will change. I mean I've made videos but not for my main channel.
One thing i must tell you is that I've been very busy learning French for the past year. My better half is French and I've been trying very hard to gain some small amount of bilingualism... It's working as far as I can tell. I can now read French, listen to French radio, watch French films (without subtitles) but composing my thoughts on the fly is still tough! Maybe one day I'll be able to tick the French box on the 'languages spoken' part of an application. It's the little things...
The weird thing is that I've kind of been bitten by the language bug. It's like part of my brain was guarded by a big, rusty hinged oak door and slowly I keep trying to open it, exerting enough force to move it. At the moment it feels just a bit ajar, but in time I'll be busting out the WD40. I've actually been bitten to the extent that I want to start a third language, something like Spanish maybe.
While work has been crazy this year, and looks to be just as mental next year, I've found some outlet in film making with my friends. This January we are set to make our most elaborate and ambitious project yet. I'm really looking forward to pulling all this together and producing something that we will all be proud of. I can give more details in the future, but for now, I'll just let you wonder...
I am very sure that 2013 will hold some very interesting times. Some unexpected, some played for, and got...LOL I just have a feeling that things are around the corner waiting for me to take the risk and jump in feet first. Most aspects of my life feel that way. The time for stagnation and routine must be flushed out.
I think this is probably the most open I've been on this blog. Maybe that is because there is no one who actually reads this, but on the whole I think it's good to write it out. It helps put things in perspective.
I hope this entry has given you some food for thought. Stay happy everyone and I promise to do my best and write again soon.
Regards,
Snare.
