Hello and welcome to Matt Phil Carver’s blog. That’s me.
If you’ve read my about me page, then you’ll already know what I plan to use this blog for.
I’ve decided that my first series of features will focus on two communities that, although completely different in practice, are fundamentally quite similar:
ASMR – if you’re not familiar with it, don’t worry – you soon will be.
Pen spinning – the gloriously simple practice of spinning a pen around one’s fingers.
I’ve been getting to know various members of each community for the past few weeks and, as expected, there’s so much more them than just what you can see on YouTube.
I’m going to start off, within the next couple of days, with a quick-fire lesson on each. The idea here is to speed through the standard ‘here’s what this is’ feature so that I can skip straight to exploring the deeper subjects that most of the media don’t touch on.
By the end, we will hopefully have learned a few things and made some new friends.
Also, by virtue of my ‘getting involved’ pledge, there will almost certainly be the chance to see me making a total idiot of myself on YouTube.
So this is my blog – make yourself at home and I’ll get right to work. mpc
