Acting on a whim takes you places!
Posted on | October 11, 2009 | 1 Comment
After Friday’s happy events – meaning this post, and the interview agreements – I had a good night sleep. I woke up, kissed my girlfriend off to work, and then had a luxurious day in front of me. Open, calm seas of time, that I could use upgrading my blog a bit, play guitar, transcribe some songs, and writing down questions for the upcoming interviews. Wait a minute. Interviews? What just happened?
See, as I wrote down my blog about Evelien and Fabienne, I thought it was fun. Interesting. In line with what I think this blog is. To me it’s been a place, to share, help, and inform like minded people. And occasionally vent my tantrums. But now, just because in a split second I thought it would be fun to actually get the bigger picture on both musicians, I asked them whether they would be so kind as to answer some questions. Interviews? Who the #$!@ was I kidding?
To be fair, at some point in my life I owned half a degree in a writing oriented study, and I’m used to ask questions because in that position one usually does not have to speak much. But interview people? That’s different. That means you ask questions, and the answers will have to form some sort of coherent story. For it to form a coherent story, the questions have to be good. So, what are good questions?
The rant above pretty much sums up the thoughts for the following weekend. Calm seas became ship sinking oceans. It was fun though. I really like to surprise myself every once in a while. It’s not necessarily a good feeling when someone else throws you of your guard, and even although it might turn out to be a humbling experience, it can do a fair bit of damage too. However, if I’m the one who’s throwing me of my guard, in other words, really surprise myself, it’s nearly always fun. And 99% of the time I walk away a wiser (note to audience: in general that does not mean less goofy) man.
Tonight, I gathered the questions I thought were interesting, and sent them away. I have to say, I feel some sense of achievement. Not particularly Nobel prize winning, but achievement all the same.
