started this back in the 06 days of xanga and so I continue. Will allow myself to edit 2010 stuff till January.
2010 Resolutions/Accomplishments (combined for the first time)
- Find my vocation, get accepted into grad school
- Start a band, or have a steady influx of jam buddies
- Start a company whether that be our jewelry idea or a simple etsy store
- Move out of SD, plus five for an international move
- Be less quick to judge -- hear my inner bias but don't express it.
- Keep in contact with everyone I still talk to regularly, whether that be through emails, calls, messenger pigeon
- Donate to a political campaign - really believe in it though
- Volunteer with something completely unrelated to my career so as not to confuse humanitarian with ambition
- Live minimal
- Remain self sufficient
- Find 5 musical/literary/visual artists that I sincerely like and learn to keep up with. Do not revert to college interests when discouraged.
OLD RESOLUTIONS RevisitedDesired 2009 Accomplishments- Get to NY, or at least have a solid plan of doing so by 2010.
Currently applying to three ny summer publishing intensives and got 944's endorsement even after the throwdown with my editor. Also looking into NYU's BER program if I can secure 2 business journal experiences in LA next january. BER is cool. You get a full time internship at the news desk for WSJ or Dow Jones or Economist..thus ensuring your baller-ness as a reporter. And by reporter ballerness I mean 35K (blergh!)- Sustain myself with my own income
YEA! Not only myself but my new puppy. And not only sustain but live comfortably enough to think about opening a jewelry store. Yea..money is dope.PB is the frat bros hillcrest and honestly its all the same. As long as I can cruise around and shop at thrifts I am good.YEA! Thanks to mtg a buncha ppl who reminded me of music. I mean, by bitching we're talking indie hipster tunes circa 2005. But this emo business makes me unbearably happy and I'm glad I now have friends who concur.- Collect all Kevin Smith movies
Got Netflix. Negatory.- Freelance for SD Magazine
Too busy churning out bullshit technical crap for VoIP and equally obscure niche industries. So no. - Finish a book, or at least a short story I'm proud of
Came to terms with the fact I am not that kind of writer. I like honesty in writing. And I don't have enough life experience to convey my version of truth and have it be remotely interesting. So, putting an indefinite hold on this one. And I realize I don't see third person stories, I see way subjectively. It is frustrating when trying to re-tell.2009 Resolutions- Be more active/adventurous. Reconnect with love for biking, try surfing more diligently once I thaw out
I bike lots, tried surfing more than in 2008 and am pretty satisfied with my hiking/exercise regimen. SWEET!- Don't catch myself hanging out with people I don't really like, learn to keep in touch with the ones I do
yay for 2nd, nay for first. But I am significantly better at awareness.yea, realized writing for work ain't all that great. Reading a lot more though, I think Europe and utter boredom helped a lot.nay 2008 Resolutionsha!ha i am just a creature of love. love for work, friends, ppl, moments, music..I accept- Don't catch myself doing something I don't care about
this is the same thing as that 2009 resolution in a different outfit. i'm unoriginal- Don't over-think experiences
wow, i was way obscure. I think this is just me.
