Mood

Anxious

Wow can't believe I'm still here hahaha but I think I might of been more quiet on this site than last year where I was more 'excited' I believe. Oh well, lets bring out the Good, Bad, Resolutions from last year, resolutions for this year and some special thanks/mentions

The good things in Life

-Joined up in clubs at meetup.com and have met wonderful friends.
-Almost done with school, hoping the 2009 year will be my last semester.
-Got to go to AX in LA and met the cool peeps on SA.
-Fall 2008 semester was my best I've had.
-Got addicted with Rock Band 2 and love playing on the xbox.
-Hanging up my artwork in cafes and some of them have been sold.
-Getting the urge to paint again and try selling those.
-talking with old friends from high school.
-exercised and lost quite a few pounds

The Unpleasant Stuff

-Need a job NOW!
-Need a place of my own soon too
-difficult time letting go of the past =(

hmmm~ so overall, this was a good year for me, not a whole lotta drama goin on in my life.

so here are the resolutions from 2008:

-Do good for my semester: that would be a YES
-going to AX/comic-con: yes to AX, no to comic-con =( man I'm still bummed about that
-still finding a place of my own: well...no not yet at least!
-hanging out with friends: indeedo
-DRAW MORE!: yeaaaaaa kinda haha XP
-Being more social in school: I was more social in my art classes and my history class so yea.

--so I would say I did about %75 of my resolutions and thats not bad at all! w00t!

okay so here are my resolutions for 2009!
-Being a bit more talkative with people online and in RL
-going to AX again and Comic-con too!
-Getting my own place for sure
-find a good part time job
-get my two degrees in college
-going on a diet and keep on exercising
-then finally work full time at my career job.

whoo! that is a lot but I think I will succeed them all

now on to the final part where I mention some special thanks to the peeps here on SA. This time, I won't go all lengthy with talking with everyone cause there has been some changes but just say a few words of encouragement not going in any order here,

a fantastic artist, really look up to her artwork for inspiration and awe. Really fun to meet you at AX, and really funny when talking a few times.

fantastic photographer and friend. Couldn't wish for anything better, hope we will talk more for the new year

ahh~ my trusty Irish comic buddy. I feel bad we haven't talked as much as I was hoping =( but its been hectic for the both of us. Good luck with your animations and art, love to see them soon.

Its great talking with your again, I feel we've connected with a lot of stuff and hope we will talk more for the new year you are one cool dude

I know you aren't here anymore (or you don't comment on SA much) but I just wanted to let you know you are a great friend! I'm really glad I got to know ya and always have fun talking with you on skype, and on the phone. Got the lovely christmas card too heres to the new year for our friendship

glad I got to know you and leaving nice comments and good criticism on my art as I do the same with ya. Your animation and art are going places! Good luck for the both of us for the new year hope to see you at Comic-con 09!

so here we are again! looks like our friendship is still together and strong kind of wish we could talk and do pokemon battles more but I think that will all change for 2009. So again, really glad I got to know ya skrags, funny and very voice-talented good luck for the both of us

MEGS IS AWESOME seriously this girl is funny and I got high respects for. Fabulous artist and writer, I'm wishing you luck and hope that we will be able to get know each other better for the new year

to Masta Brock, Vidda, Bvhj, Jin, Kuceman, Leondra, Mar, and Shiro

sorry that I haven't written to everyone but one of the reasons would be that either I haven't talked to you in a long time or we just haven't talked PERIOD. But hey maybe that will all change for the new year or not! just let me say that it was great that I got to know you peeps and wishing you luck for the new year.
