No Formal Training

So, I've a new video  up today, I posted it a few hours ago and meant to write this blog about it, but life interrupted and I got sidetracked with a few delicious message from a girl on a dating app I'm using at the moment. Hmm, might want to review the dating app at some point, it's not Tinder, but it's somewhat similar. Anyhow, back to the blog proper. Well, for the last few years I've been living in what was my grandparents house, and I've been slowly redecorating a room at a time, most of their things I keep stored in the front bedroom in various boxes and old furniture, wardrobes desks and so on, the room looked like a time capsule of 1950's Britain, post world war two furniture that looks so totally different to the stuff you get today. And now I'm in the process of trying to redecorate the front bedroom, and going through their things and seeing what I would want to keep, either because it's practical or has sentimental value and what can ...

Ok, so day two of trying out bloging, and I'm still not sure if that should spelt "blogging" or "bloging", spell checker seems to be no help at all here and I can't be bothered to actually go an look something up like that on google right now, something that would literally take seconds, on the grounds that's 3.30 am as I type this, it's late and I'm tired.

Oh well, always tomorrow, preferable with a fresher brain. Still, I do feel like I've learned something, even if it just from messing about...

I've been messing around on Youtube now for about seven months, trying to get to grips with filming, editing and creating my own graphics, none of which I've done before and I have found both challenging and rewarding. Challenging as it has meant learning new skills, and rewarding in finding some satisfaction in doing so. Not that I've had success with youtube, and in this case I'm referring to Subs and views, not making it to some sort of celebrity status or becoming rich quick, neither of which were my aim either. At this point I have a total of thirteen subscribers, and very few actually seem to watch my videos, and there might be many reasons for that, after all, youtube is a VERY popular medium right now, and my channel is just one of many doing the same thing, out of many, many channels all looking to do many, many different things on a range of topics. And for the most part I'm doing blind reviewers, totally off the cuff, and just making it up as I go alo...
