Okay first lets do a recap of my 2009 resolutions and how they turned out:

1. Do more rigorous exercise - uh-uh, but I ride a bike everywhere
2. Finish a damn comic book >_< Actually no, I'll finish ten! - umm no
3. Promote myself more - Not really
4. Do more challenging art projects - Yes! This I did, I did a lot of work and I'm still in the process of documenting all of it
5. Stop popping my pimples - No, not really
6. Go to more free cultural junk - When I could spare the time
7. Do some volunteer work and give back - Unfortunately no, need to work on that
8. Write more letters to congress and attend more community meetings - ditto
9. Give more tokens of esteem - Due to severe broke no
10. Visit my grandparents when ever I can - ditto
11. Achieve 15 minutes of fame - Still on the horizon
12. Move to a new house and make really comfy - I love my new house, it's comfy and cheep and down the street from school and downtown Atlanta
13. Get strait A's all the way until graduation! Spring 2010!- I have one last chance for strait A's before graduation, so far just lots of B's

Man, 2009 sucked balls, it was suck after suck after suck. It's a new decade coming up though. I'm graduation and I'm sure things will start picking up soon. We all just have to keep working and stay positive!

Now for my 2010 resolutions!

1. Get strait A's on my final semester
2. Get hired to work in Japan this year
3. Read more
4. Write more
5. Draw more
6. Finish more projects rather than start too many new ones
7. Focus more on the type of woman I want present myself as
8. Exercise more
9. Find more excuses to hang out with people
10. Go to at lest one out of town convention before going to Japan
11. Cook at home more

I'm finally through the gallery comic. Posting it reminded me of what an undertaking it was, I need to do more projects like that, and I am. I already have an idea for another with more instillation elements. I also finished distilling the 2009 vintage of natural ink. I'm going to start working on a new packaging concept for the ink and finally do a tutorial for it too. In due time, as long as I'm working.

I'm on break from school, my final undergrad semester starts on January 11th so smooth sailing from here on. I had six classes this past semester, I got 5 B's and 1 A, not too shabby considering I worked full time most of the semester. I have a lot of projects to keep me busy with my gallery group and archiving work from the past two semesters. So expect a lot of catch-up posting during break.

You know the great thing about being at a low point is that there is only one way to go, up. Life is still busy even though I've been unemployed for a couple of weeks. No worrys though, my house is stable, my mate works, he'll cover things for the time being.
My super full school load and job hunting keeps my schedule packed. Not going to go into the details os why I ;lost my job of five years (who ever does) but regardless it just wasn't a good place to work, I was unappreciated and got far less money and respect than I deserved considering the high skill and tenure of my ablity to serve and work there. Now I'm only applying at high volume places down town. I'm int he middle of applying for post-grad jobs in Japan and I don't intend to have to wait table for much longer so I'm going after those big buck. Tough work, but a huge pay off, and probably a 4 day work week. In the mean time I'm jsut going to use the extra time to salvage these grades and get these applications finished.

Or pretty damn close. Won't go into detail but life is sucking about as much as it can possibly suck so hopefully things will start to get better soon. At least I have some extra time for posting art.
