The start of something big...

What happened?

Firstly, I must apologise for not posting since 2016. Life has definitely gotten in the way and I have nothing to say except 'sorry'.

Now that's out of the way...those of you who follow me on Instagram will have seen I have created a YouTube channel. I have posted my first video and it is amazing just how much time it takes to produce just under 8 minutes of quality HD video.

A heartfelt thank you to my children and my little Sister for the inspiration and to my Wife for her support. She (my Wife) is by her own admission 'not very tech savvy' but her support is nevertheless appreciated.

I have an awesome technical support team, responsible for channel design and video editing. Content development is ongoing and I must say a huge thanks to my Daughter for all her hard work on this. Yes, the TST comprises of one very talented, almost 15 year old.

Being me...

This post is really just a way of letting my loyal readers and followers know that I do still exist and that 2017 is going to be the start of something big for The Original Sy.

When it is all said and done I have a steady paying job and I work and have worked with some truly amazing people. I have heard that it is a job that others 'dream of', yet for me it is not as much fun as it once was.

After almost 18 years, I now find myself longing to just 'be me'. Much of my job involves 'make believe' and at times resembles a bizarre pantomime, where I assume a role in order to play my part. I believe I am very good at my job, but it is just that 'a job'.

It is not me, it is my job!

I wear my uniform with pride, but it does not define me. I'd much rather grow my beard and drift back into civilian life, sometimes looking up when I hear a siren, but not feeling my heartbeat a little faster at the sound...that will be nice!

My plan is to focus and build on my strengths, my ability to communicate and to make people laugh without the burden of the dreaded PC brigade. I realise I cannot go back, so I'm doing my very best to move forward.

My 46th Birthday is drawing ever closer and perhaps it is the realisation that I have fewer years of my career in front than behind, either way I have decided to put myself first!

My future starts now...

My name is Anthony and I am a great communicator, with an ability to make others laugh. If you're looking for someone to MC your next event or provide you with quality voice over material subscribe to my blog or DM me via Instagram. You will not be disappointed.

To my friends and work colleagues, The Original Sy is still here and is getting on with the business of self fulfillment and personal happiness.

I strongly advise you to take every step necessary to do the same!
