lifeoutside the lines

‘Dude, WTF? Your last blog update was almost a year ago’. Said a friend of mine. ‘Yeah. I know.’ ‘Why did you stop?’  ’I had to return some video tapes. But I get your point…’

I actually enjoyed writing my blog, I enjoy writing in general… but I keep getting told that as a blogger, I had to keep the reader in mind, and that I had to say important things and create engagement, and that I had to capture readers email addresses, and build a database and… well… quite frankly balls to all that. One of my greatest talents is talking shit, so I guess I stopped blogging because I got sick of trying to write an ‘appropriate’ blog.

I am sick of not writing anymore, and balls to the blog police… hence this little blog update.

Also, I have landed myself a fun gig in Bali working with a local surf company here called ‘Surfer Girl’. They have + 300,000 fans on their facebook fan page and I am running the project that is going to deliver them a kick ass retail experience from inside facebook! I can’t find anyone else in the world actually selling stuff and taking people through the entire browsing and transaction experience from inside FB (there was one, but its gone) – so until further notice, I am an Chuck Yaeger. Social Boom! haha. lame.

The Surfer Girl gig has somehow positioned me as a social media guru, which of course I am not (and never professed to be) because I have not updated my blog in almost a year. And I have less than 200 followers on twitter. And I actually delete people I don’t like from Facebook because spam is for loosers.

My fiancee Widya has decided she wants to build her brand (she could be the next global yoga brand) and asked me for advice… so now I am helping her get started in the world of social media.

Of course, I must point out that I have not updated my own blog in over a year…

(if you know me, you may have noticed that I did not have a fiancee at the time of posting of my last blog post, nor could I advise anyone on social media, but a lot can happen in a year)

Despite what you might think, I had a fairytale childhood….. My grandmother was eaten by a wolf. RT @GeneHunt

Just thought I would put that in their for laughs with the RT for industry clout. They say if you are writing a blog, you need to give value.

At this rate, you will have to pay me to read my blog.

More to come?
