2013

Halfway Point:

This is way past due! But I have such good news!

- Who got a full-time job??? THIS GUY!!!! 
That's right and that's why I have begun to neglect my blogging. I have even kept my part-time job on the weekends, so usually I'm too tired to think, much less participate in my blog. But since I have more of a routine going, I should be able to start my entries. There will be less entries than I was hoping for, but got a job.

- Routine Established!
To add to the information above, my full-time job has established when I have play-time and time for other non-job stuff. Yah!

- Weight Has Been Shed!
I am loosing weight and eating healthier. I don't exactly know how much I have lost but it was at least a pant size!

But... Things to work on:

- Blog Has Been Neglected
- List of Books Read Lower Than Expected
- Creativity Not Quite Fulfilled
- Need to Write a Book (Or At Least Illustrate One)

At the end of this year, I will post how I did as far as goals went! See you then!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a few days late, but that is because I wanted to be sure of my goals for this year. Now that I am sure of what I want to do, I will share them as research shows that writing them down or declaring your goals make you more likely to finish them. Anyway.....

I hereby declare that, in the year of 2013, I will:

Get A Full-Time Job!
So far I only have a part-time job and although it helps me pay the bills, it is not enough for me to live on. I'm a hard worker and I learn quickly, so I would be a great asset to any companies out there. Hopefully, I will find something soon.

Establish A Routine!
Because of my plans this year, I will need to get more organized and more stringent with myself in regards to what I spend my time on. I know I spend too much time on the internet, so that will have to be cut down quite a bit. If I get a full-time job, that will help me get a routine going because I will have to work around it. So far each of my goals will help the other ones out.

Write & Publish A Book!
I've always wanted to be a writer. I'll settle for self-published for this year. In the grand scheme of things, I want to become a published author with a publishing house's might behind me.

Be More Creative!
I plan to devote some time each week to a project that will get my creative juices flowing. Recently I've become a part of an online community where that is encouraged. If I'm able to do that maybe I will start doing something biweekly and so on until it becomes easy for me to do something every day by the end of the year.

I'll be honest and say that when I googled images for "creative", all that came up were pictures that involved rainbows. When I'm creating I feel more like a mad scientist than a happy-go-lucky rainbow.

Read 45 Books!
This is a step down from what I did last year. I read 61 books! Originally I had a goal of reading 55 books and I was able to up the ante to 60 books in September! That is awesome! But, because of my other goals this year, I have to cut back on something and the sacrifice is reading. (And time spent on the internet. Hopefully, I'll be able to pull myself away from it to get something worthwhile done!)

Hey, thanks Lincoln!

Lose Weight!
I am not particularly healthy, so I hope to remedy that this year. My goal is to have a whole new lifestyle change by the end of the year.

When I googled "lose weight", I decided that the pictures of fat people and people happily working out were stupid. So I looked up "feeling awesome" instead, 'cause that's how I want to feel!

Blog!
As far as the blog is concerned, I've already implemented what I would like to do on it ("Graphic Designer of the Month"), but it is an ongoing project. I appreciate my followers and any help I receive from friends and family alike. I will keep posting the "Typeface Review" on Monday, the "Comic of the Week" on Tuesday, and any book reviews as soon as I finish them.


Halfway through the year, approximately 183 days from now or the 3rd of July, I will post an entry about how I'm getting along with my goals.

Oh, and I wanna live here:
