It happens to us all. Our first Blog.

It's like our first day at school, looking through those gates as they clank closed and we realise there is no way back, we are TRAPPED. As we get older it is our first day at work, 40 years of grind ahead of us to pay the rent and feed ourselves...everyone feeling really depressed yet? Except if you are in Entertainment, then the hurdle in life that will make most grown Suits, Crew and Talent cringe, cry and hide in a corner screaming, "No, don't make me do it!!! I can't cope" it is being told to write your first blog. The line used to encourage you is Itll increase your profile of course it will it will prove that you are a grammatical Neanderthal whose most grammatically correct line you are capable of writing is This is the last bit wot I wrote, bleedin good innit finished if with either bucko as a threat to someone you dont like or boyo if you wish to be more pleasant or if you want them to buy you a pint of Brains SA aka Skull Attack. PR and Publicists take great delight in this day like sending a child they have created into the grown up world. We must stand on our own two feet fly the protective nest that the PR and Publicists create for us. Oh yeh, great fun!

PR and Publicists are a much maligned group in Entertainment they have to deal with tantrums or behaviour by those they represent that would make an 186 BC celebration by the cult of Dionysus look like a party that just got a bit out of hand and threats or blackmail from the media that would have most of us wishing the plagues of Egypt on all the houses of the journalists or paparazzi. The Blog idea is their revenge on all of us. The more we foul up on the blog the more we have to pay them to extract us from this mess of our own making and listen to the inevitable lecture of, You said what in your blog!!!!!!.....Youre not safe to be let out alone, Ill deal with this problem now you understand why you need me so much.

I have girded my loins and am ready for the forthcoming tongue lashing, humiliation and to being reminded of how much PR and Publicists are needed.

So here goes, my first blog or second if you wish to be really pedantic but Im not, as the above is my disclaimer, this whole escapade into creative writing was not my idea. I am doing this under duress and only because I need the work!
