Not counting work, I've actually had quite an interesting beginning of a year. Been for a Wednesday comedy night, which turned out to be hilarious, as most of the acts were experienced and actually funny.. Most of the time on Wednesdays as it's new acts comedy night and it's free, the acts are uncomfortable and they tell the jokes rather than share their experiences, and just make them funny, or exaggerate a bit..
To be honest, nowadays we have so much media and social places where to put our thoughts out.. And I realised that yesterday when I was sorting out millions of notebooks that I have, and got to the point that there were way too many things everywhere and I could write them down in.... I can't think!
I'm writing the blog to get back to the feeling when I had something to share, almost every week, sometimes two, three times a week. And now. Whether my life has gotten super boring or I just don't have that much time to actually sit down and write my thoughts down.. Feel like crap, cos even if I dint express myself in words, I could do it on paper.. And re-reading the posts, I am so proud of myself.. Why can't I do it now, what has changed?
I need to restart blogging and practise critical writing or as I learned from a movie yesterday,- constructive criticism.. Because if I want to do movie/bar/restaurant reviews, I need, first of all, practical experience and then basic knowledge, which I'm hoping to get in one of intensive courses. But as far as I have done research, the critical writing courses ar 2 year master courses and they are £9'000 a year.. Can't afford that.. Or maybe I should invest in myself?
I have glass of bubbles in front of me, and I'm thinking of ordering some food too.. Maybe fuller stomach is gonna help me write better.. ;)) Monty's burger.. Yes!
Great! I'm already thinking more.. Researched difference between constructive criticism and critical writing.. Apparently there is a slight difference.. Constructive criticism is to improve the outcome of the work, which you are criticising, rather than critical writing is just to explain both sides of the story, with arguments..
Ok, the burger is done! And it was a tasty one, and there is a Manhattan coming my way as soon as I order it.. ;))
And then, I'm just gonna curl up in bed that is not mine, but hopefully same as cosy and warm.. :)) yes, well I guess it is the time to say that one of the nicest evenings out I had this last couple of weeks, was last Friday. I went on a date.
My first date in a long, long, long time.. And it had everything.. Flowers, dinner, talking, wine and dancing.. It was my first time in Clapham Junction, and I really liked the area.. La Pampa Grill, the Argentinian steak restaurant he took me, was small, cosy, characteristic.. And sirloin steaks we had, were really nice.. And pancakes with ice cream and syrup.. Continuation of the night led us to accidentally seen NorthCote Records. Pub/club, that does live music every evening. Two really good singers, both on guitars. Unfortunately don't remember the name of the act.. But it was an amazing evening.. Worth to mention, worth to remember.. :))
Ok, where is my Manhattan? ;)))
I think I should probably stop here.. But if I have an inspiration to write in something later, I will.. I guess what I'm missing is an inspiration.. As for couple of days on couple of times, I have been like: "Ouu, this would be a good story.." And I would write it down,- in thoughts.. ;)) But that doesn't count, right? You can't read it? And I can't re-read it a year later.. :)
I'm leaving you, for now, with Sounds of Montgomery: "Bring It On Down To Me (Part 1)" by Bobby Franklin's Insanity.. And Manhattan is here..
Cheers!
