The First Video - Inspiration from University

The biggest challenge following my first post was simply to deliver - saying I will do something and following it up are completely different things!!!

So what have I tried? . . . Something cool? Something funny? Maybe even clever?? Well I went for a mix of everything. Lol jokes, I tried to learn how to edit videos :) but, I thought a video of just me using program's would be as interesting as me showing you how to use Excel.

I will firstly let you know my inspiration for this video, it is not just as this post's title suggests!

Following my first post my brother made a Facebook status linking to this blog with the following blurb:

"So my Big Brother decided to make a blog about himself, his life and whatever's he's doing. Would be awesome for you guys to check it out (though give it some patience, he's still just testing it out!) because you're intelligent: and because of you're intelligence perhaps you can unravel the mysteries of the inner workings of my brother's brain. Then tell me about it so I may finally possess some upper hand in the constant sibling war that I have suffered from since I was a baby (I wouldn't really call it a war, it's been pretty one-sided)."

I think this is his way of being "kind" so my video is my way of being nice back . . . It is ultimately a video how to lesson which I believe will definitely get him a girl (about time too (jokes)). But I do encourage his friends to try and figure me out as many will know, it's pretty damn impossible!

Anyway, here is the video:

Impressed? I sure hope so! I've been practising the final  move for some time now. My gf's parents however find it rather odd when I do it at the dinner table . . .

The First Blog - The Explanation

Many who know me may be wondering why i'm creating a blog? I am not one who is good at writing and my vocabulary is average at best. In fact it was two weeks ago when a friend saw my last google search and had to comment.

"Ahh do you really need to know how to define inquire? . . .By the way, I think you wanted to use enquire . . ."

This wasn't good news for me as it meant I sent an e-mail off to a potential employer using the wrong word. Following this, where I work I have developed somewhat of a catchphrase of

"I can't english"

So I guess I am using this blog as a way to
refine and better my learn written skills. As one who is employed under the accounting and financial services I spend a lot of time
number crunching and dealing with software doing what most people would find boring, I find it cool to talk numbers but many don't, so perhaps my conversation topics will become more exciting.

So the next question is, why now? Why am I doing this now? Some would say that the skills in procrastination which I developed at University are still strong. I would like to believe that there is more to the story, even if I have a job interview for tomorrow which I have not prepared for.

One of my closest and manliest friends is off to serve the country in the bravest way possible, the last time I saw him he said, and I quote

"It's a dream of yours isn't it Az, for something you made to go viral?"

Obviously a joke, everyone knows my dream is to become the worlds best fighter, tennis, or badminton player. But it got me thinking,

The day after I posted the following on youtube:

The video was made for fun whilst we were 
playing badminton
exercising messing about in an empty sports hall, but what if it went viral?!

Long story short, I am going to try something, anything, once or twice a fortnight. The results will be recorded onto youtube, whilst I blog about it (Since I need something to write about!), my hopes is that I will learn new things, and hopefully have fun in the process :)

My apologies for making this post anti-entertaining, hopefully the next post will be more fun to read!
