Future plans.

I'm excited, so excited that I want to get up and charge about the place and do a thousand things today, although I don't have a thousand things to do. Which has left me feeling like a Ferrari locked up in a garage. RRmmmm...(the spell checker reckons that should be remember)

Why am I excited, because finally, after going loop the loop for the last ten years or so, I think I can finally follow out a dream plan of action. I don't know if I can make it work, but I want to find out.

After this year ends, I want to buy myself some English teaching materials and start getting myself some one to one students and teach English. So hopefully, I'll be able to build up a large client base, through word of mouth and given a little time, I'll be able to move away from working for others and work for myself.
Ideal. Perfect, wonderful that would be.

Then, or rather as that's happening I can pursue my dream of doing some more performing, whether it's stand up comedy again (I've dipped my toes in that pool before), improvised performing (and that pool), which I'm currently doing now, but work constraints wont allow. That's me working for someone else and not teaching, just retail.

So hopefully that'll end sometime next year. I'll need to be able to work part time, to give me the time to do my own thing. Then I'll be able to stop normal work as my own work picks up pace and then follow up my dream of performing once more.

If I can make it work, I can really make that happen, it'll be the best. The very best time of my life.

An old African proverb would be best to finish this off I think.

"When you pray, move your feet".


I think I will.

Easy day.

As I haven't for a while, I've been much indulging in one of my favourite past-times. Which I was able to do due to a nice discovery I made the other day near tottenham court road.
There's a new and old computer game / DVD shop down there. I saw it a while ago and decided on Saturday to have a look. It wasn't that busy, there were a few other guys there pouring over the games. I joined the throng by the window and started at the top working my way down. Where I found one of my old favourites. I loved this game when I had it on the x-box.

Fable.



This is a screen shot I took just after I'd one the chicken kicking competition. Yeah, my character's a little evil. Can you guess what I won by looking at the picture?

I much enjoy wearing it and fighting hordes of evil monsters.



Wonderful. Now that I have a job, hopefully, given a little time, I'll have saved up a bit and Will be able to buy an x-box 360. To which the next instalment is coming out on soon.

Aside from having my focus squarely in the realm of cyber space, my mind ponders long and slow over my future. where oh where do I want to go with my life. There are a few possibilities I'd like to pursue. These being the ones where I get to have a lot of fun.
I also met an old friend walking down the road today. I remember when I first met her 8 years ago, she couldn't speak a word of English. She's much better now, but not perfect.

I want to take my English teacher skills and start giving her lessons sometime next year. Being able to teach is a valuable skill, one I intend to keep. It'll also enable me to make a little extra cash on the side.

Something else that's just occured to me, I might even be able to fit in a part time job someplace and teach English as well.

Hmm, the future is full of fun and possibilities. I just need to make these work by working hard piece by piece, step by step.

Wonderful, it's nice that my life is going in a good direction now.
