So it's day three of this here daily blog, and I'm already stressing a tiny bit.
First off, thank you reader for visiting my site and the blog. That means a lot to me.
When I worked as sports editor at The Daily O'Collegian (aka The O'Colly), I used to tell my staff that as long as they connected with one person with their story, then they had done their job.
If you're reading this on day three, I'm doing my job.
So about that. I promised a daily blog. I'm going to stick with it, but I'm going to predict that unless I stay up all night, the next few days are going to be short and sweet, so hang with me.
What I should have done was scheduled some posts for busy days. What I didn't do was exactly that.
This weekend Masa is headed to Bleu Garten. The last time we were there, we sold out our entire inventory in a day. People in OKC really love Masa.
This time we're going with more food and planning a resupply for Sunday.
Friday evening should be busy, but Saturday will be crazy. I'm talking flip the open sign at 11 am and only leave the trailer a couple times to use the restroom until we sell out or close at 1 am. There's only a couple times in the day I'll be able to sit for a minute or two. They are long days that tend to go by fast. It's an ass kicking. Then we do it again the next day. I will log close to 40 hours in three days.
So yeah, not a lot of time for writing.
I love the commitment of daily posts. Going back to yesterday's post, maybe I am crazy for challenging myself to do something like this.
Here's the deal, I am going to launch my own media site in the coming months. It's going to take a tremendous amount of dedication and discipline. Of course it will feature stories that have been written ahead of time, and I'm not 100 percent certain it will be daily content. But if all goes to plan this one will keep going each day. I plan to incorporate video, definitely more photos and maybe even a podcast or two. Lots and lots of work ahead.
I'm open to ideas for blog posts as well. If there's something you'd like me to tackle, leave it in the comments and I'll add it to the list.
I plan on doing some Q&A's here with some friends, so I can introduce you to some people, who I think are doing tremendous work in Tulsa and elsewhere.
I've kicked around the idea of an AMA (that's Ask Me Anything for non-redditors). Maybe it will happen down the road.
Like I previously mentioned, I'll do some writing on people who have inspired me. I'll also do some music and tv/movie posts. I'll likely keep sports to a minimum. You can expect lots of posts about food and drinks.
OK, that's it for today.
PS: If you live in OKC, stop by this weekend and say hi. You know where to find me.
