A Rough Start

It has been a little bit of an adjustment period actually trying to put YouTube in a little bit of a spotlight and that really changes everything. I mean for the better part of five years YouTube was just there and even though it doesn't mean I don't like YouTube it's the fact that I never put YouTube in front. I have a difficulty finding the interest in sitting around and making video. It has nothing to do with anything YouTube related it's more the idea of not always wanting to record. I enjoy making videos, but I don't always enjoy spending the time recording the videos even if I've got something to say about the subject. 

From the start YouTube was just something I could do, because it was fun and it had nothing to do with me possibly making a career out of anything. It's not that I didn't have faith it's the fact that I didn't want to invest the time or energy into creating and learning how to grow YouTube. Especially if it meant investing more money that I didn't have at the time into YouTube. I will admit I could have tried to learn more about production or editing or thumbnail design or tagging or anything really, but every turn something else was always more important then YouTube. 

The adjustment to even giving YouTube the time of day might have something to do with me not being confident in my ability with the site and the fact that I don't want to just do it for the sake of it anymore. If I can't do it for a purpose and gain something from it then I don't want to spend the time investing in YouTube anymore. However, I never really tried to invest in it and never really gave it a chance to have it mean something. I stopped trying to grow Twitter and haven't even bothered to fix Facebook after the name change. 

I will try and find some stable ground to at least build something that matters on YouTube, but it will take a little bit more time than I expected. As long as everything is set in motion for the books to allow me to benefit from YouTube for promotional purposes. But this is the start of trying to make something work that I've spent five years building.

A Bit Distracted

I have had a difficulty from time to time of stretching myself far to thin and not giving some stuff enough attention that it stays current and shows that little bit extra. I would be lying if I said YouTube has been taken care of well in recent weeks and I could easily blame it on my vacation coming up, but that'd be a lie and an easy excuse. It's not that I'm uninterested in giving YouTube a serious try it's more the sitting down and doing without getting distracted or starting to do something else that I can get done easier. I know that doesn't come off well for me, but I've really just been giving all my attention to one specific part of my life that I've been ignoring every other aspect.  I will not make any guarantee for anything, but what I can say is suddenly I feel a lot more motivated then I have in the past and I think I found the reason for the lacking interest. I know balancing time a little better might help a little bit too, and I will be doin...

Trying something New

Last week I finally opened a door that I thought I closed a long time ago!! Five years ago was the first time I attempted to stream on Twitch, but nothing ever happened and the stream never went live for a variety of reasons. At the time I barely knew the first thing about video recording and I was just winging it and I ended up feeling overwhelmed and embarrassed in the end. I gave up on the idea of streaming blaming it on my set up and ignoring the fact that I was just trying to protect myself from feeling the way I did when I didn't know anything about streaming, recording, or editing.  I'm not trying to make excuses instead I'm more trying to call myself out for not trying to learn and growing my knowledge of something that could actually help me expand to help my site. At one point, growing Wrestling Express was my one and only focus, but I didn't know how and instead of trying to learn how to do it I gave up. Looking through the same rose colored glasses you'l...

Doing some Thinking

Recently, I've been thinking a lot about life the reason for that is hearing so many people around me talk about the plans they've got for themselves in the near future. The one common thread of in everyone's plan is that thought in the back of my mind how everyone will move on and leave me behind them instead of taking me with them in their new plan. I know it isn't right for me to assume that "friends" wouldn't want me to remain in their life even as things change, but it's easy to always think positive. Bearing that reasoning in mind it has forced me to start thinking about how I can make my own plan for myself like my friends have done for themselves.  At first I thought the right decision was going to be cutting them out and moving on from them before they move on from me. Ignoring them and just chalking things up to another group of people to cut out, to prove that they weren't real friends and were just being nice to me for whatever reason. ...
