Anyway ... I guess as you can probably see from just the opening paragraph of this blog alone, things have been rather hectic in my part of the world. Sure, it's been great that I've created all this new work for myself, what with this written blog as well as my YouTube channel (please don't forget to view, like, comment, subscribe and share), but there's also all the paid work that's been coming in.
And as much as I love doing all the blog posts and videos, if there's money to be made, then that's the priority. Harsh as it sounds, you would do the same thing, would you not?
Add to that the possibility of going back to school (FYI, still waiting to hear back from RMIT), as well as starting AUSLAN classes tomorrow night, the upcoming Shuffle Magazine project and all the planning for the Deaf Poker Australia events and you have yourself a very busy, and very tired, Lando.
Well, if it'll help take the stress away, I'll try anything once!
It also means that I'm getting to bed rather late and feeling quite down because I know that while I'm typing away here in the office, my fiance Shannyn is waiting up for me, watching TV. And through all of this, I haven't even found that much time to scratch myself, let alone begin exercising as part of my weight wager with her. And because of all these long days and late nights, I haven't been sleeping all that well either.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that while all these new and exciting things are happening, they are taking their toll. Still, it's not a dire situation, by any stretch. You could say that this is a more of a rant post to motivate myself to keep on track. I'm certainly better organised and better prepared for things than I was back in high school - hell, I even managed to keep a diary for a full year last year without losing it or forgetting to write stuff down in it!
So, here's what I'm gonna do. From Monday until Thursday, I'm going to post a YouTube video. Mondays will be a "show-and-tell" video about what I've been up to over the last week, then on Tuesdays, I'll do a wrap-up of the news headlines - current affairs, politics, sport, weather - but important stuff. Stuff that I would like to talk about.
Then on Wednesdays, I want you, the world, to tell me what I should talk about. It could be anything (within reason and within the boundaries of good taste). A funny YouTube video, a wacky news story, entertainment news (because normally I wouldn't bring myself to talk about that tripe), hot chicks, whatever. If you've got questions about me, my videos, my life, whatever ... ask me.
Finally, I'll wrap up Thursdays with "Five Card Draw". I'll admit - it's definitely the strongest "segment" that I do on YouTube, but you gotta play to your strengths. Besides, it's not like I want to get out of poker - on the contrary, it's something that I'm still very passionate about and it's an industry that I'll keep working in for as long as people want me to.
As I've said before, these blogs are about me broadening my horizons and keeping myself in touch with the rest of the world, but at the same time, I want to share my world with you. As gooey and sentimental as it sounds, it's true. And despite the fact that there's little to no production value in my videos (I have no skills in video editing whatsoever), I hope that at the very least, you've liked what you've seen so far.
And with that, I'm off to bed - another big day tomorrow with a lunch meeting, followed by my first AUSLAN class in the evening. Hopefully, I'll have heard back from the uni about my application too. Fingers crossed!
Edit: as I mentioned earlier in this post, I'll be posting YouTube videos from Monday until Thursday, thus Friday will be my day off (except for a written blog post). I'll also squeeze in other blog posts when I can and as for the weekends ... well, like I said, I have to have my "me" time!
