I hate New Years resolutions - but I guess I can commit to establishing a list of 'Goals' if I call them just that. So here we go. 2010 goals...
1) Buckle down and buy yourself some webspace. Follow through and SiloOnline it up. I'm a part-time web guy and I don't even have an online web presence in the field...it's mind-boggling. Plus it'll get me off Livejournal...which in our modern internet culture seems oddly horrifically dated somehow. I need a place to call my own online. kinda. Blog-wise at least.
2) Start a new animated short. As awful as the last one was to complete...I'm proud of it, and the experience was fun. I'd love to mix up some Lightwave with 2D - and I have an idea in my head; but I have to reteach myself the former enough to complete it. I need to actually do that this year. Some form of accomplishment. Even if I don't finish it - I want to START on it, and make it better than my previous one.
3) Along the same lines - start doodling again. I don't do any artistic projects anymore...and I would like to. Perhaps my father would be willing to part with that bandsaw he no longer uses? There are so many little things around the house that I'm proud to have made...but once school ended so did my production of them. Need more things.
4) Treading on a cliche here - but lose some weight, preferably SOME before the summer season starts. Lets face it...I have never had a positive body image of myself; and while I've mostly ignored it I do think healthier living is possible for me this year. I started running and abruptly stopped last year...I need to stick to it this year. Eat less. Move around more. Nightly push-ups and sit-ups. Nothing drastic - just little changes. Hell, if I can land a free membership to a gym through my job - even better. Maybe I'd even work up the courage to go.
4 things is pretty good I guess. Overall I'm rather content with my life; dare I even say happy with it. I've got a nice job where I'm respected - and get to do a variety of projects. I've got the best girlfriend I could ever imagine - whom I only grow crazier for day after day. We've got a sweet apartment. Awesome little ratletts, and some great friends. My goals would just be icing on this bizarre life cake.
