Just because you live in a small community, does not mean great things cannot come from it.
Very brief and very random and at the end of the day, it doesn’t really mean anything.
Well that is that. Interesting I suppose. To me it is very much so.
So this is my first post of what I hope are many more to come. I use to do a lot of blogging, and then for some reason I just stopped. I really do not know why. Fair warning right now, I can promise you my first few posts are going to be very rough. Since it has been so long since I have actively blogged, I have lost my normal style. I use to be able to write like no one is watching and say what I was really felling without care of criticism from the readers. Kinda like the whole dance like no one is watching. But since it has been so long, I am out of practice and need to relearn how to write as if it was in my own private diary. I find that kind of writing to be the most effective. So please bear with me as I grow into this new attempt at blogging.
I am going to try and post something daily, even if its just a couple lines of musing or something that has caught my attention. Hopefully I am able to stick to it. If I do miss a day, it will be for good reason, which I promise to explain later (even if doesn’t matter to you). I am the type of person that once I make a commitment (doesn’t matter how trivial it seems), I stick to it. And if something comes up and I can’t stick to it, well then it deserves an explanation. Especially to anyone who takes the time out of their to actually read it.
I expect to be posting a lot over the weekend since I have had a lot of crazy and wonderful things happen this week. Plus I want to dedicate at least one full blog post to my current pursuit. It is something that I am very excited about and is ground breaking and much needed. And I am sure that once you read it, you will also become just as enthusiastic about it even if at first it is difficult for you to believe that it is possible. Now this sounds very cryptic and you may be thinking it has to do with money or some get rich quick scheme, but it does not.
So having said that, welcome to my blog.
Confirmed to be a “Geek God” by some online quiz and dubbed “The Queen of Geek” by many of her fans, Julia “Jules” Sherred is a mother, writer, author, radio personality, blogger, gamer, tech enthusiast, science nerd, sci-fi and fantasy freak, hard core Trekker, has an unnatural obsession with Optimus Prime and so much more. She emerged from the womb fully embracing her geeky tendencies, with a book on Astrophysics in one hand and a deck of cards in the other. Growing up, games were always an important part of her family, including family board game nights, Christmas family poker games and trying to pry the ColecoVision® and later NES controllers from her mother’s hands. She has now passed on this tradition to her own children and is raising the next generation of geeks and gamers.
In early 2008, she was hired by Party 934 as their Program Director. When the station finally hit the airwaves in September 2008, that is when she began to host her Geeky Pleasures radio show. Once a week for 2 hours, she played a wide variety of music including many geeky songs and discussed with her listeners some geek topic of the week. She has had some pretty well-known geeks sit across from her during her shows, including interviews with: The King of Geek Wil Wheaton, MTV Executive Producer Shane Nickerson, Bad Astronomer Phil Plait PhD and geek music sensation Jonathan Coulton. In 2009, she also took on the additional duties of Assistant General Manager of the station and launched her Geeky Pleasures website when her show and blog could no longer adequately fill the demand she was receiving to share her “unique brand of geekiness”. Due to a change in circumstances, she stepped away from her radio show, her AGM and PD duties at the station.
After helping to create and build another radio station in 2010, she decided it was time for her to move on and do her own thing, enabling her to make a specific vision a reality. With a passion for music, entertaining the world and helping others to realise their same dreams, she is extremely happy to be launching The Look 24/7, where the Geeky Pleasures Radio show, plus more, will continue to live.
With a soft-launch in May 2011 and full launch on June 1, 2011, and with an emphasis on independent musicians, The Look promises to bring a wide variety of programs to fit anyone's needs. From Talk and Comedy, Hip Hop and R&B, Alternative and Rock, Dance and Electronic to everything in between.
Other places you can find her online are becoming a fan of Geeky Pleasures on Facebook, her personal blog http://blog.juliasherred.com, check out the Lupus Awareness Virtual Art Gallery at http://lupus.juliasherred.com and by following her on Twitter @GeekyJules.
Other sites and publications which she contributes to are: Star Wars Vs Star Trek, The Lupus Magazine, Nerds in Babeland, GeekMom and she is the Layout and Design Editor of The Vaccine Times.
