Introduction

Holà Amigos!, welcome to my blog. it’s been a long time coming. I’m Jim; I’ve always wanted to make a blog, 24 years old writing this and working at KFC as a team member. I’ve done some youtube, written stories, poems you name it. I’ve been in love with telling stories since a kid the biggest object stopping me? Was me. Consistency and discipline are the two very things everyone needs to drive their ambitions, dreams and desires and for a while even now I’m running low on both but with this blog, I’m aiming to change that dramatically and begin pursuing my goals and I want whoever does read these will be inspired or at least enjoy the ride!

Goals

Like most people, I have goals in life otherwise what’s the point of getting out of bed? Sure we’ve got to get up get ready, sit in traffic and go to work for several maybe 12 hours or more for a living to pay the bills. By the time we get home a lot of people feel drained we just want to sit for the few hours we get in front of the tv or phones etc and we never think of the opportunities and ambitions we all have. To be honest I’ve noticed that’s been me recently and I want it to change now.

So I work at KFC on the night shift. I go in about 3-5 every evening and work until maybe midnight or maybe longer depending on how chaotic the night has been. At first night shifts were great! I viewed it as a sleep in but I am now rooted on all late shifts and overnight I go in and early shifters go home and enjoy their day. I didn’t really care at first but after a few months been put on all late shifts it does a lot to you. Now hear me out when I say people who work/are contracted to nights fair play. I’m not, I’m just contracted to work X amount of hours a week and I have full availability so I can work whenever but at the moment I feel stuck and it’s made me feel unhappy and has made me evaluate my choices and what I should do.

Since I was a kid I’ve wanted to be an actor or a writer the two have kinda joined over the years; I’ve tried both! I’ve volunteered at my local amateur dramatics and done short films for students at local unis. I will probably talk more about it in another post. I’ve also got a few poems on multiple poetry/writing sites which I was surprised got some good reviews from other poets, that was many years ago back in high school when I believed I could be the next John Muir or Bukowski or even Hemingway, as you can see extremely high ambitions for myself considering I didn’t do good in school. I spent most of the classes dreaming of other things.

I started YouTube very inexperienced and new a few years back with an awkward video. (my first-ever vlog) and it went expected for me. I couldn’t look too long into the camera and kept falling over my words, I’ve performed on stage in front of 400 people and it felt the same as that even tho it was just me and the camera. I was afraid of it and I assumed it wasn’t up to it considered, but I loved it even tho I knew it was a terrible video I did it and I was proud of it. I kept making videos steadily for a few years and eventually got into a drama school which I will talk about in another post. All things began feeling like they were coming together but it all fell apart and again and again it was a repeat long story short here we are now

I want to embrace my creativity by starting this blog and even start creating YouTube videos again eventually both will be connected here’s a sneaky link to have a look at ( https://www.youtube.com/@The_Swinn ) and it’ll give you a rough idea of who I am. Thank you for reading I will be posting again real soon so watch the web. – Jim
