60 Seconds on The Virtual Couch - 2012 YouTube project!

I started The Virtual Couch both on YouTube and here on Blogger in 2006 with the initial plan to stimulate my creative side.  Sometimes life gets in the way and your plans get delayed a few years.

Fast forward six years and I have just completed a month of unbroken daily uploads to YouTube of my "60 Seconds on The Virtual Couch" project that was born on New Years Day, not as a new years resolution but more of a "what the heck, may as well give this a go" thought.

So after thirty-five videos (thus far) I am quite pleased at the results and the fact I've been able to maintain the momentum.  Sometimes the videos I do are as much a surprise to myself as to whomever ends up watching.

I haven't really scripted or rehearsed much of the comedy skits I do, just start with an idea and ad-lib and hopefully something good ends up happening!  Quite a few hit and miss videos to be honest, but a couple that even make me laugh when I watch them back.

So where to from here?  Doing a video every day is a real challenge.  Okay, let me re-phrase that as "doing an interesting and amusing video every day is a challenge".  But life is about setting yourself goals and challenges and striving to achieve them.

Stay tuned, the Virtual Couch just may be a more interesting place to be this year.

Thanks to all those friends who do make an effort to watch my poor acting skills on a regular basis and provide feedback and encouragement it is certainly appreciated.

Feel free to join me daily on The Virtual Couch @ YouTube
