Wednesday, January 6, 2010 at 7:47PM 2010 will offically be known as the Year of Me.
This is the year in which I get my shit figured out.
The year where I don't settle for less than I deserve.
The year where it won't matter whether I'm single or not because I will be happy with who I am.
The year I let my creative side flow.
The year I stand up for myself.
The year where I will focus on myself and being happy.
This is my year.
Sunday, January 3, 2010 at 5:45PM My apartment is very quiet right now. The only sound is of my cat scampering around ... no tv ... no music ... no white noise (well no deliberate white noise - I think I'd have to be in Siberia to get rid of ALL white noise) ... just me and the sound of my breath in the quiet evening.
It's nice.
I don't generally like the quiet. Quiet means lack of action ... boredom ... solitude ... things that I'm not too fond of usually. So, I surround myself with noise ... people to talk to, movies and tv to watch, podcasts to listen to, books and blogs to read, text messages to send, music to shake my booty too ... and when all that fails I talk to myself. Yes, I freely admit to having some late night conversations with myself when I couldn't get to sleep.
But today quiet is nice. It feels freeing. It feels less oppressive and more promising ... instead of being boredom and lack of things to do it feels like it's filled with promise ... this quiet is my blank slate ... just waiting for me to fill it with whatever my heart desires ... and in this moment it truly feels like the things I want most can be mine. But for now, my sole desire is to stand on the precipice of so many options, of so much potential, and just breathe.
Life Saturday, January 2, 2010 at 11:46AM So I discovered animoto this morning ... a very cool website that takes your uploaded pictures and a chosen song and makes a spiffy video slide show out of it! This could be used to make some great stuff and it takes all the work out of arranging the photos and the music. So, of course I decided to demo the site and make a slide show of my favorite fuzzy man ... MOMO! Enjoy!

Happy New Year!
Life Thursday, December 31, 2009 at 8:53PM There are certain times of year when I can just feel the air changing ... and I need to be changing along with it.
Fall is one of those times ... my brain is still trained to think about the beginning of a new school year and I can't help but feel that I should be cowering under a load of giant books and putting my brain to some good use ... and consequently the beginning of summer also feels like a time when I should be throwing all responsibility to the wind and running barefoot through a meadow of wild flowers or something else hippie-esq. When my birthday rolls around in July I am usually feeling rather retrospective ... looking back at the last year of my life and seeing the things that I could have done better or differently.
And now as I am a mere few hours away from the new year I am desperatly trying not to succumb to the change in the air that is willing me to make new year's resolutions. I can't honestly remember a time in my life where I have kept a new year's resolutions ... yet at the close of every year I think that this next year will be my year ... that I will do all the things that I want to do and will finally become that person that I know exists somewhere inside me if only I could find the motivation to dig her out from under all the muck.
So what would I do if were to make some resolutions? (Which I am not)
I'm sure if I thought a little more I could come up with about a hundred more things that I want to do in this next year ... it's a good thing I don't make resolutions! :-)
