Well hello there, Khalu-nation (hey, I don't know what to call you!). So this is my first official blog post for the website. As you can see, all the others were posted on my IGN blog over the course of last year and the beginning of this one. Needless to say:
I'm very excite!
So, I've been in kind of a funk lately over what to do with my life -- I know what to do, mostly, it's just I have too many ideas and don't know where to start! I know it's got something to do with comedy in some shape or form, and that's it. I just don't know what route to take. Here's the thing, I was doing stand-up between four-five times a week for about a year and a half. I love it, but, I was getting really lonely. Comedians are a great supportive community, but, you're always doing stuff on your own. So, I decided to take a break. I don't know how long it'll take, but I know I'll definitely be back.
Now, I've been doing improv consistently for a year this coming August. I love improv, it's one of the funnest things to do. I just started an improv troupe with some of my buddies from class, which is what I always wanted to do. So, that is one of the things I want to do. But at the moment, it's not something I can do every day due to scheduling conflicts. Hopefully though, it'll be something that can clear up soon. Because it's just too much fun -- and you do it with other people!
There's so many things that I would love to be doing. Some days it's video game journalism -- you can incorporate the funny in there! And really, I'm more lenient towards the personality side, but let's be honest, I love to write too. So, why not do both of them? So I'm going to be doing the following:
- A weekly blog post about anything. It could be video games, personal stories, TV, movies, nerd stuff. Whatever!
- A weekly podcast, by myself -- there could be guests in the future. For the time being, it'll be about video game news that I've been following, personal stuff, sports news that I follow as well as anything else that comes to mind. If I later come up with a specific concept, that's what it could turn out to be.
- A weekly youtube video. About what? Also about anything. Whatever I feel like doing in that moment. It could be a sketch, a joke, a Vlog. I don't know, it's open for the time being. I just want to be consistent about this.
This is going to give me some experience for the video game stuff, and I'll also have a bit of fun doing it. I repeat, I just want to get the consistency first, then the product just happens. This is about discipline, people!
With regards to acting and writing for Film/TV, I'm going to get back to that too. One day a week I'll dedicate my time to write either a sketch or whatever movie/TV episode I'm working on. Auditioning will be whenever it happens. I'll be posting to a lot of casting calls as well as the VO auditions I get. I'm going to get this thing rolling! I've been dormant for quite a while, it's time to wake up!
To sum it all up, each day will be a different thing. I want to focus on all of it, and get better at all of it. If for some reason I get an extra spark for something else, then that's a bonus. I mainly want to do this for the discipline and once I get the hang of it again, I'll do some modifications to the schedule. I'm telling you guys so I can keep myself accountable as well as keeping you up to date. As to where to get all the content? Keep it locked to khalu2.com. Everything's going to be right here for your enjoyment.
