Busy or Content?
I know when I have little time in my life, I don’t blog. I’d almost forgotten, but then somebody else’s blog reminded me that I must. So I am. Interestingly I’d like to talk a little bit about blogging. Hello! I blog and have done for the best part of ten years. And at one point I had over two thousand hits a day! Since then I’ve disappeared from chalkster.co.uk and used a few other places including myspace [sorry] to talk the talk.
Back for what reason?
Mostly that bloging gets me moving, it makes me write and I am primarily a writer so that is fairly good news! It allows me to get the things off my chest that are on my chest so that I can work on that deep underlying section. It’s also a place that I rant and it makes me feel better. But remember fellow blogers, if you rant it can come back and bite you on the botty. Whilst I have not kept all of my blogs, other people on ‘tinternet, have. Ben found some of my earliest and most depressing ones. Not to mention the ones that throw your truth telling into question.
Don’t Move That chair!
Really me? But I need to move it to steal your gin? It sometimes strikes me that some people really don’t understand their short comings. I have had lodgers for many years, that help me subsidise my living, or help pay the bills. It’s a proper compromise as my house to date has never really been my house. Some people that move in realise this, and realise that they have to give me room and treat my house like paying guests. Others just don’t give a flying fuck about you, your space or anybody else living in the house. They then don’t understand why they no longer or never fit it. I suspect this is a longer term social dynamic for these people, and they wander through life just thinking ‘Not another weird person that I don’t get on with, that must make all the people I’ve ever met so far!’.
Me
So my life has taken on a few different dynamics. We will be filming Chop in May and it looks good. Very good. Nemesis ‘39 looks terrific, when I read it now its like somebody else has written it. Then there is the CRDC. I’m doing a lot of things to feel the characters, as Jon told me ‘How can you write about these people, what do you know of them?’… So I’m now learning about them. First off is Keith, the non committal pick up artist, I’m studying pick up artist [realy I am and it is fascinating]. The other one is learning about Sunny. I’m spending the next year trying to become a ‘Stand Up’, and with the support of those around me I think I can do it. More to come, though Right now i need to go and take the deposit on a car.
Laters,

Which is a cross between Exciting and very fucking scary. I’ve two weeks to hone my act and slap it into shape… Then if all goes well… I shall Embark on a year of open mike. I’m willing to give it a shot as a career move of a type. It fits in with everything else I’m doing in my life, and with the support of those around me….
