I am not sure how i feel about blogging really, i love it but i think it is also quite weird. There is something nice about being able to share your thoughts with the world but at the same time there is a sense the rest of the world is trying to do the same, the internet is full of other people’s thoughts, ideas and opinions and at times i thought that perhaps it wasn’t worth the effort.
However, i figure that if it is helpful for someone, or someone enjoys it then it might be worthwhile. And at the end of the day i think you blog because you enjoy it and not so much about how many read it or how many comments you get. Certainly i have felt that i have things i would like to say and in a way this was a vehicle for me to do that. Many times i have been working, walking, driving or doing the rest of the things that we call life and i have found myself going ‘ man i should write about that in my blog ‘ and then i get so busy doing the rest of the stuff in my life that i run out of time.
There has been days when i have had this open ready to write and found myself never being able to get there, in some ways its like writers block.
However in 2011 i want to commit to doing this more and my goal is to write something once a month at the moment and the aim is the first week of each month. Because i think weekly is a little crazy and fortnightly is weird so monthly it is for now.
This is going to be a big year i reckon, lots going on around the place. With the first thing being me doing a stand up comedy gig later this month. A friend offered me the opportunity and for some reason i said yes, initially i thought, yeah i can do that…now i am having my doubts, sometimes i stop and wonder if i am actually funny.
Some people are funny with jokes or actions, me…well not so much, in a way i am funny more by circumstance than anything, i can make some great jokes at other peoples misfortune, or my own for that matter so perhaps if the ship starts sinking i will have to pick on myself!
The gig is not in Christchurch, its in Ashburton or Ashvegas as some say. This is good news, cos if i crash and burn hopefully it wont end up on Cambell Live!
My mate Si is going to be great i reckon, he has done a few of these before, he’s excited about the chips with chicken salt that we get for free, i must admit the very thought of that makes me salivate as well . . . mmmmmmmm oh the goodness.
Anyway, i will let you know how i get on. Wish me luck.
