How are you doing with your 2010 goals? This is the tough bit, the cold January where you don’t want to go outside & the TV is far more inviting.
January 9th isn’t far into 2010, but usually by this point I would have given up on my goals & allowed myself to slack. Well not this year Mr. The new Blog is all but finished, I managed a huge book this week and am just about to attend the gym for the 3rd time.
Today’s word of the day is Consistency. Now is the perfect time to Crush it
Have you ever taken a look at some of the blogs out there and thought “Man that seems like a lot of work”.? Here is how you can make the Blog you see before you in the space of 2 Hours!
Broken down into steps here is what I did:
There is a long way to go, I look at blogs like Chris Brogan, or CopyBlogger which are repositories of incredible content… then I look at my own site and think “Man I ramble”.
How to Blog More Effectively
My Problem is usually I cant finish so I’m attempting to alleviate this by following up on my 2010 Goals.
The hope here is that if a goon like me can make a blog like this, Imagine what you could do. It is a lot easier than it looks & actually quite enjoyable. Be sure to let me know how it goes for you, and contact me. Give it a go, I mean… Why not?
I am currently Migrating my Blog to a new Host. Will be back shortly
Inspiration is a wonderful idea. Depending on how cynical you feel today, it’s either that aspirational poster on your bosses office, or it’s that spark of mania where you believe you are actually Jesus and about to solve world poverty with a stick.
As the world gets smaller, we temporarily lost our local influences and culture has spread across borders. We in the West can now dine around the world, within 5 minutes of any major city center. We are also truly multicultural, not without problems… but we do live among each other. You mesh all that together and mix it up, and the mashups of creativity are yeilding aweomeness like; Bollywood Dubstep, Chinese cinematic epics and Russians singing Katie Perry.
If that’s not entertainment nothing is!
For some this happened in the horrible, corporate way. The British Pub in Disney Epcot is a shining example of what is not culture. Initially Culture was dominated by the Music and Movie industries. The internet has had an interesting decentralising role. By giving power back to the little guy. The best little guy’s in the world, are getting famous!
The value in real influence is however greater than ever. If you sort through the populist chaff, and there is some very wholesome influence available.
What influences you? Here’s my (short & not in order) list:
Battlestar Galactica
Epic Video Game Music
Incubus
Ceasar Milan
Reading books
Clouds
Travelling
Conversation
Diversify what you see, hear, feel, taste, touch and smell and you will automatically become more creative. Inspiration. Where do you get yours?
I took a great deal of pride in the consistency and frequency of my blogging at the beginning of the year. It felt better to get some of those thoughts out there, into the world and just enjoy the regular expression of it all g^.
The good news is all is not lost, the note taking & reading is still going on behind the scenes. I also fully intend to finish this mini rant with an amusing picture that fits in with the current greenish blogger theme I got goin on. Those ideas are still in me, it’s just taking a little time to adjust to the idea of listening to Chris Moyles in the morning. Talking about the football last night, and getting on with work.
Yes it feels a bit routine already… but it won’t for long. I have a few ideas on how to shake things up a bit.
Comic relief apprentice was amazing. Just as I typed that, D walks in and tells me about Cherly Cole being in tonights episode. Why not multiply the awesome by itself. So that it becomes awesome to the power of awesome… squared. Like so: Awesome²
Been thinking.
Maybe you should have your Geek IQ measured. If it’s low get a Mac because they are pretty and allow you to be iCool. If it’s super high use Linux so you feel as superior as a Lion in a smokers jacket (how much would THAT rock). If you don’t give a shit. Be like Pharell Williams. I’m a PC, because I like to tinker just when it’s nessasary or feel like it… but have the rest done for me, because I’m a straight up pimp YA HERRRD?!
Doctor Doctor. I’m about to tell a formulaic joke.
Hatstand.
I know my destination, I’m just not there…
Not as bothered about it as I used to be though. Business suddenly makes sense. Nobody told me the corporate world was 100% political. It may seem stupidly naive but when people told me how business worked & that it’s safe to speak your mind, I believed them.
This blog may split 3 or even 4 ways in the near future.
Splitting is never fun, especially since I’ll have to go through the archives and do that. But I’m such a scatterbrain, it will make a lot of sense. Lots of ideas 
Sup?
Despite hurting my back this weekend & the occasional bit of shooting pain. I feel pretty good today. It’s been a weekend of healing & resting.
I’m not after fame and fortune, I’m after you.
When I’ve served my time, I swear I’ll come back for you.
Just got a call from the benefits lady in Leeds city council. If they process the stuff in time, I should be ina position where I can live & work up to my first pay day without borrowing a penny. That would ROCK so much.
Ever needed to pee really bad in a trendy bar, and you get to the toilets and instead of “Men” and “Women” you get some clever gimmick. It happened to me a little while ago and I stood there in horror thinking “I don’t know the answer”. A friend told me about a bar in London where they are named after the XX and XY chromosomes. Like someone thought that being drunk and needing to pee was the perfect time to do some A Level revision.
Yesterday I found twitter, and like most users the first person I followed was of course Stephen Fry. Before long however this oddity took my attention
Yes indeed, that is a man with a thumb for a head.
