I'd like to lose some weight and step up on my work / productivity. I felt like I did nothing this year!
1) Continue drawing sessions
2) Don't worry too much
3) Sell the music stuff, buy a decent tablet with the money
4) Replace the 15" tv with a projector or an LCD tv
5) Actually try to get better grades at the university
Oh! I have only 50 minutes to start working on these
To go along with that...
1) Move out of the south...for the love of god
2) Bring my Portfolio up to a presentable level
3) Get organized, stay dedicated and kick some ass
2.Cut back on sweets
3.More sleep
4.Fix mountain bike
5.Invest money
2. Further pursue art, ideally become a somewhat competent painter.
2. I now own a sketchbook. I should draw in it now and then.
3. It's portfolio time again! Life is so enjoyably cyclical. Work on portfolio, maybe plug the yawning abyss that is the past two years with something that implies -- ever so sneakily -- that I have not been in an art coma this whole time.
4. Finish Bully. And God of War. And San Andreas. Resist buying new games for awhile.
5. Keep in touch with friends. I've been bad about this.
1. Learn Japanese
2. Speak more Spanish
3. Spend more time paying attention to school
4. Keep grades up
5. Draw every day
6. Spend less on games, more on living space

drink more, eat more so i put on weight, don't be so productive with my time, smoke more cigarettes, make more half hearted promises to myself and keep to them for a month before slipping back into old habits.
