Now that is a strange looking household appliance.
It is a bit weird that in a time where I should be thinking about planning for my future, household renovations, getting a car (again) and all those other wonderful grown up stuff I went out and bought a sound mixing board. Am I in a band? Nope. Do I manage a band? Nope. Did a band come to me and ask to be their engineer? Nope. Am I building a spaceship set for my epic film “Star Valkyries From The Shadow Nebula”? No….. Well, not yet anyways. That strange contraption’s sole purpose for being in my house is that I came to the realization that I desperately need a creative hobby. Desperately.
Due to my job and obligations I lead a very structure life, so structured that CBC Radio’s Fisherman Broadcast set their clocks by my activities (Shout out to all my East Coasties! Where ya at!). I know that I cannot deviate too far from my daily/weekly/monthly gameplan and I certainly won’t be digressing myself of all my worldly possessions, putting a bindlestiff over my shoulder and seeing the world. So here I am fighting the doldrums of a scheduled lifestyle, trying to find something that I can work into the few precious hours
of downtime that reflects my likes, my interests.
Movies and marveling at the magnificence of my own mind.
So I’m in the alpha stages of trying to start my own podcast about movies. Wow, that’s a seller’s market in podcast land let me tell you, what with them being so rare. But even in this sea, nay ocean, of movie podcasts I hope to keep my Curmudgeonly stamp on my foray into this and who knows people may like it. Again this is the alpha stage, I don’t even know the logistics of recording, or the financial of putting a podcast out to the public, but I won’t know anything until I try my best to see this experiment to the end. I do know that I will be off on the right foot when I invite my friends to join in on the conversation, ‘cause I am confident in the creativity of that mob, and I certainly know that they have opinions they wouldn't mind sharing. I’m still ironing out the format, length and design of the show, but I got a seed in my brain that I feel good about and with help from my friends I got a feeling that this may be fun.
And who knows what this could become.
I hope to use this blog for updates on my podcasting progress, so please stay tuned and I hope you’ll give me a listen in the future.
