Hi
Hows goin?
So what's this I hear you ask yourself.
(not literally, I'm not in the same room as you or anything)
Well this is my blog, hence the title The Blog Of Andy G, pretty obvious really, idiot!
Here I talk about some of the random crap that pops into my head, I write letters to people who deserve it, for both good and bad reasons, I share some of my drunken adventures and talk about life as a part time restaurant monkey.
I started the blog in May of 2009, I had an interview for a place on a BA in television production at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. I felt the interview went very well, they obviously did not. (I didn't get in.)
During the course of the interview we discussed the impact of social networking sites such as facebook and twitter. The interviewers asked me if I wrote a blog, it's something they advise all the students to do both as a record and as a way to practice writing.
I started this blog the day after that interview, I had no idea what I was going to write about and most of the time I still don't. The thought of writing a blog had never occurred to me before, but I really wish it had, I have lived in a few cities over the years and I spent nearly 3 years working on board the QE2. Most of those memories are now lost in a sea of booze, but occasionally a story pops into my head and if your lucky, I might share it with you.
I currently reside in Aberdeen, Scotland and ever since I was 18 I have left this city with no intention of returning at least 5 times, but due to circumstances beyond my control (failing uni, quitting my job on a cruise ship, quitting my job in New York, quitting my job in Edinburgh) I have always returned to the Granite City. I sure as hell hope to leave here soon.
I am currently a full time "mature" student at Aberdeen College studying Television production, and enjoying student life.
I hope one day to be a writer and to write and produce all my own stuff. Sadly it is quite likely that this dream will remain unfulfilled, If you read my blog then you will no doubt notice that I have the literary skills of a retarded monkey on crack. Also I am incredibly lazy, a bit thick, and a fully fledged alcoholic.
Feckin hell I am making this seem quite depressing aren't I? Don't worry, most people say the blog is quite entertaining. Mind you, there was a point in time when everyone said the world was flat, and we all know how stupid they ended up looking.
Anyway, I hope you like the blog, if you do then please feel free to leave comments, good or bad. (Preferably good.) And if you don't like it, then fuck off and read something else. Don't come moaning to me, I've got enough to do.
Those beers aren't gonna drink themselves.
That's all for now
Until Next Time
Have A Nice
Andy G
