Performing

I've got about three hours until my call time for my first official Jazz Band concert. Before a performance, many people ask, "Are you nervous?"

Well, of course.


Presence... Well, faking it.

So last week on my day off, I created an entirely new blog dedicated to my journals. Basically, I've started typing everything up for safe-keeping and curious minds. I'm not certain that anyone will even read any of the stuff I've written, but I mean, some parts can be pretty insightful... and the rest.. well... you gotta wean through the other crap.

I'm absolutely awful at keeping up with things. I've got a youtube channel that I made when I was 11 or 12, and I've had it for years. However, I haven't always posted on it. I've got two other channels. One that I started around the same time for gaming, and one that I started just a few years ago for music. BY no means are any of these things actually generating traffic. They're just there. That's all you can really ask for these days, right? For presence.

And every now and again, I'll post something for people to see... if they wanna.
And every now and again, people will respond... if they think to do so.
And every now and again, I'll go months without sharing something... if I'm busy.
And every now and again, I'll find the inspiration again... if I get bored.
And every now and again, I'll post again.

So with this new thing that I've started, I've set it up so that it automatically posts every morning for me... months in advanced. That way, during the time that I've lost the inspiration, there's still stuff going up for show.

But it may not matter at all.
People probably won't read it at all, and it may all end up being a waste of time.
But for now, I've got the inspiration, so I'll try to make it seem like it's lasting.
