Bla bla,bla,bla,blogging!
I feel less and less interested these days in blogging about stuff on my website and more often inclined to go to my facebook page to read people's post, respond to their messages or just check out pictures people may have put on facebook.
Today I noticed that Meredith had tagged me in a picture that was taken last summer when I was shooting "Be Real with JR DIGS". It was cool to be reminded of being out on the road with a bunch of awesome people shooting a tv series. I miss those guys! Being out on the road was fun. Getting paid to work on a network produced series was fantastic. Getting nominated for my first Gemini Award for "Best Host in a lifestyle series" for my work on that series was a shock. I wish I could say that I was just as surprised by how little it ended up actually impacting my life.
For a bit there I suppose I thought maybe I might actually end up getting an article or two written about my first Gemini nomination and that it might just lead to a few more opportunities to work on other new series. Nope!!!!(lol)
This is the part where I stop myself before I say stuff that will for sure come back to bit me in the ass three weeks from now.
It took me over five years of grinding it out to finally get a chance to work on a network produced series with a budget. If I buckle in again who knows, maybe it will only take me three more years to get to work on another network series!(lol) Like I was saying earlier, it was a blast working on "Be Real" and being on the road was too much fun.
So now what?
Driving into Toronto last week to meet and interview Dane Cook I came to the realization that I'm probably never going to want to do anything ever again other than try and make a Tv show. Ya I might never get another chance again to work on a network show with a budget, who knows but maybe it doesn't even really matter. Who am I kidding, for sure it friggin matters but what I mean is, maybe it's the grinding it out part that will eventually lead me to doing the kind of show I really should be doing. What if driving around in this crappy old van that keeps breaking down on my way to meet and interview people for my show turns out to be an interesting half hour of television. Sure it sucks being stuck on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere in Northern Ontario waiting for the van to cool down and start again but it's better than trying to pull off and pretend I have a real Tv show and doing everything I can each week to prevent people from knowing my show sucks and I hate every minute of everything I'm doing!
Besides that thanks to Dane Cook, I've kinda got a new theme song now. Wait until you guys here the song he just made up on the spot all about the van. It's funny!
Guess who else has now agreed to come on the show or, what I'm calling my show these days? I just found out today!
