Halloween Update




It's been awhile.

No, I haven't forgotten about this blog.  Okay, maybe I did a bit.  Well, that's not entirely true.

So I started to dabble into Tumblr a little bit.  I'll link that at the end of this article.  I'm not going to lie to you.  Social media has never really been "my thing."  I've always been ages behind.  I was on Dead Journal while people were pimping out their MySpace.  I dismissed Instagram as an obnoxious fad and now most days I prefer to Facebook.  Oh, and Facebook, I didn't have one of those or even a phone with Internet for the longest time either.

So obviously I've come a long way from that.  Now I have a YouTube and an Instagram - of course a Facebook as well.  I'm still holding out on Twitter, perhaps unwisely.  I'll get there some day.  For now it's still a bit like reading Greek to me trying to decipher people tagging one another.  I realize this all makes me sound incredibly ancient.  I had a laughable run in with Snap Chat when my friend encouraged me to download it.  Needless to say, I had no idea what I was doing despite her best efforts.

So in regards to this blog I haven't really been sure what I was doing.  I just knew that I needed one to go along with my YouTube channel.  Prior to this I had one for a few years that did well enough I suppose.  I used it to publish misanthropic ramblings, poems and short stories to no avail while I bitterly lived my banker life instead of my best life.

In two months it'll have been a year since I started my YouTube channel.  I adore it.  Now that I've take steps to become the artist I've always felt I am inside I've never felt more inspired.  For several hours each week I spend some of my precious time breathing trying to turn emotional garbage into something beautiful with a meaningful impact.  It's crazy, fun and heart rending sometimes.

In the wake of this I've neglected this blog a wee bit, but I've returned!  The reality is my first love has been writing since just about forever.  I feel the beginnings of creating a YouTube channel has heavily involved me finding my voice and just how to express my wee narrative.  I feel like a year in I'm happily finding my stride and I have something to offer in written form as well.

So if you've some how found this amongst the sea of things that is the Internet, hello, welcome.  I hope to be seeing you on here again and keep an eye out for more updates on my life, insights and this crazy YouTube thing I'm doing.  For now I'm super frazzled on coffee and about to hit the gym for a much needed cardio session before working our midnight sale at the shop.  

Happy Halloween all, I hope you're all enjoying what I consider to be the best holiday of the year!  Here's what I wore for Halloween this weekend.  I had a blast!  The Phantom of the Opera is one of my favorite characters and favorite musicals.
