boy i am loving the weather here. beautiful crisp sunny days. sorta reminds me of a sunny winter's day in canberra.
i'm gonna try and wear my splint tonight. been pretty tired for a few days - probably from getting over cold/flu but just in case sleep apnea is happening a little bit, i best wear it as often as i can. i wore my retainer last night just to get my teeth back into position to handle the splint tonight...... i have my mug of water on hand for if/and/or when i want to take it out and continue sleeping without getting up to clean it.....
so i was on tv the other day. it was an interesting experience.
i really wasn't that nervous about it given how many videos i have done with sirius pup website already. that, and it was just me, and 2 others working with me to record things, so it was a very small experience at the time....
obviously, there's a heck of a lot of stuff that didn't make the cut. given it was an 8 minute segment, and there's close to 2 hours of stuff they recorded on me alone (along with roughly 2 hours for each of the others too), it was going to be interesting to see what they picked out for it...
no surprise one of the things i mentioned didn't make the cut as it would've contradicted one of the things included from the other guys lol
i still haven't watched it for my bits yet. i had to hide my eyes when i showed up and tried to ignore the things i said cause i just can't stand the sight and sound of myself lol one day i'll get some courage and curiosity to watch it i'm sure......
i got a heap of praise from half a dozen or so people, and that's pretty big for me, so that was a very nice feeling. a couple of people i don't know on facebook even messaged me to send me their appreciation for it too which was a nice surprise..... a few friend requests, but as usual i delete them cause i don't know who people are lol
so what exactly did i get out of doing the interview?
well, there's a bit of pride that i had the courage to be involved with it. i think it reminded me a bit of when i entered the leather competition, it was one of those things that i was approached about, and if i didn't do it, i would've regretted it...... felt the same about this - opportunity came up and i volunteered myself cause i wanted to help make it a successful thing.
i also gained a bit more knowledge about how filming and video things operate and are put together. i learned heaps when i helped with a small film crew earlier this year with something out at parramatta. it was nice to add to my knowledge base on this new thing for me.
and then i also got out of it, the fact that so many people enjoyed the clip of us. i honestly didn't think is was that big of a deal, but the reaction of some people certainly proved otherwise. so for knowing that it had an impact on some people, as big as it did, is something nice for me too. i helped them to learn something new, or understand something different.....
things are good. they continue to get a little better each day. some days are better than others, but that's no different to anyone else in the world. it's the natural cycle of life.
sometimes i see an opportunity to help, and when i can, i'll offer it up.
it's the natural part of my slave self i guess. i'm a born hard worker and always happy to help as much as i can because it's the good thing to do.
so once again, i am sitting in bed and looking around me at things that represent who i am and where i am. and that's a nice feeling too.
my family look after me and love me, and i look after them and love them just as much.
and i love the sun. it feels great being outdoors for work on a regular basis and getting into fresh air and sunlight.
things are great. go, chooky, go!
