Regarding the fact that it's been a year since I started the original "aquamaroon" blog (which seemed a decent idea at the time until I got bored of the hosting site and the name itself) and the fact that I've been moaning about not being able to do any of the fun creative shizz I had originally wanted to do, it has occured to me that since I am in fact able to carry out said fun creative shizz now, I actually haven't done anything about it. I think I mentioned in the last post about that ol' notion of "cold feet" and while my feet are physicaly quite warm thanks to the polyester and nylon coating of blackness I currently wear, the internal metaphorical part of these pedals upon which I often walk have plummeted to Antarctic depths.
This idea comes courtesy of a Facebook message I read earlier this evening from a friend who was querying a similar idea... the idea of some random person plonked in front of a rolling camera talking absolute nonsense, visible through a window as hosted on a video hosting website whose name may or may not rhyme with BlueCube. (Not sure if I made that joke on here before... in hindsight I think I probably did and for this I am eternally sorry and shall pay more attention to myself in future. If not, then that's a joke I just made up now off the top of my head)
Basically, I'm struggling to come up with anything to be of talking aboot and if anything I need support and/or guidance.
Prior to this, at a couple of points over the last year I sent messages to the accounts of two rather notorious 'BlueCube' bloggers in the hope that I might receive a brief message of support and/or guidance in return. The names of these bloggers I'm reluctant to reveal for two reasons: [one] quite frankly I wish my messages to remain anonymous and [two] quite frankly I don't feel like giving them much recognition due to the lack of response I received. Spiteful? No! More... deserved, I'd say.
Anyhoo... I think I mentioned previously about biting the bullet but unfortunately the last time someone shot at my mouth, it ended in my teeth shattering into thousands of tiny pieces and consequently resulted in me being kicked out of my magical double act. Either that or nobody's given me any bullets to chew on as a before-dinner snack lately. This is probably just a bit of a copy of the last post but I felt I'd have to write again due to my lack of responses,which seems to be a running theme now anyway.

You Wait Months For A Blog Post And Then Two Come Along At Once!
Although, whoever 'you' may be, bless you for actually reading this.
Anyway, onto the crux of the matter. I couldn't come up with anything for yesterday's addition other than it was the first post of 2010. Admittedly, I sort of regret doing it since it's so short and pointless, but then again that sort of contradicts my "No Regrets" outlook on life. Besides, maybe it's the short pointless ones that are best, I don't know, I tend not to do them. Maybe I should do more though, it would certainly fill out the space and make it at least look 'lived in'.
And going off on another tangent (oh yes, it's gonna be one of those ones), the "No Regrets" approach to life just makes such sense to me. Sure bad things happen in your life (in fact, it just so happens that "Shit Happens, Deal With It" comes in at number 2 in my philosophy chart) but it's the summation of every occurence in your life that moulds and shapes you into the person you are today. So enjoy the good moments, look back at the bad moments and mistakes, learn from them and move on. "Life's Too Fucking Short" (our highest new entry in at number 3).
Back to the point I was originally trying to make until I was rudely interrupted by myself and my ever-sidetracking brain, lately with my adventures in the field of filmmaking, I've been pondering whether to do video blogs of myself either rambling or talking attempts at humorous stories/anecdotes/etc... However, I'm at a stage of 'cold feet' now ,since I have the equipment to produce such material yet my lack of confidence in myself doesn't seem to be pushing me forward into actually sitting myself in front of the camera and reeling off what I might consider to be funny but others may find excruciatingly dull!
Do I bite the virtual bullet and just do it, and if I make an ass of myself then it becomes a case of "oh well, No Regrets"? Or should I maybe consider other routes to inject humour into videos before broadcasting them to the world (i.e. carefully plan myself, aka "Slow And Steady Wins The Race" [#4])?
Discuss if you're there.

Only Three Days Late, But Still...
Farewell to the noughties decade. Now it's the tens/teens/who-cares-about-naming-it decade.
What do I say in this first bloggage of 2010?
Since I last posted: I've worked, I've purchased various material possessions, which over time will decline in physical quality yet will possibly flourish in sentimental value, and I've had a shave.
