Performance Anxiety

I've been contemplating starting a new blog for two years. Two years of thoughts and experiences flowing to and fro as I made mental notes about what I'd like to expand on and share.

So here I sit in front of the computer feeling numb and blank.

Lacking focus.

My mind empty without a clue.

I experience this when recording a podcast and I'm the only person in the entire house. My heart's racing, my breathing becomes erratic and I speak very fast as if  to speed things up!

Being shy is not fun and it's become more of a hindrance. I wish I could maintain focus without panicking and simply relax enough to say/write what I mean.

Performance anxiety sucks!

A Long Time Coming

I'm a procrastinator. This is irrefutable. I've been meaning to start a new blog for two years. I've heard a lot of positive things about Word Press yet, never bothered to surf over and check it out.

Lately I've been feeling the urge to write something exceeding 140 characters and didn't want to use the old blog to do so. It's been lying in dust and cob webs so I should leave well enough alone.

I tend to send lots of photos to Twitpic or Pikchur or Moby or ... you see my point? There isn't one location for my stuff which completely bums me out. This blog will be the central location for all the content I generate.

Are you excited yet?

Long Beach has had Shoreline Village since the 70s and it's changed very little which is a blessing. It's nice that some things remain as we remember them from childhood. I enjoyed being a tourist as I walked through the variety of curio / souvenir shops.
