Mid year resolutions

Sun Jun 14, 2009, 2:38 PM
  • Mood: Angsty


I'm not sure if I officially wrote down my resolutions for the new year, but I think I need to start writing down my priorities for the rest of the year, cause right now, I feel pretty jaded still, and feeling guilty for having absolutely NO drive at the moment.

I know I've definitely completed one of my resolutions. At the beginning of the year, I FINALLY detoxed from my 5 coffees a day PLUS any for winter. That was a once in a life time experience. I blew up like 'snap!' at 3 of my friends cause of the heinous withdrawals. Looking back on an old journal I did after my first coffee in... 2 or 3 weeks? I was pretty nuts according to clarified self [link] Looking back at this, makes me feel slightly stronger about having the courage to do something as brave as breaking a habit I held so dear.

Sadly though, it's not really enough to make up for the last year... or even two of disappointment in myself for being constantly sick, so I'm gonna see if I can list some do-able goals for myself.

:bulletred: Publish Turnabout Attorney (Limited addition)
:bulletred: Publish Final Sunset
:bulletred: Get a decent amount of pages done for Slayer's Game
:bulletred: Relearn to draw women
:bulletred: Learn how to draw hands
:bulletred: Give colour a PROPER go at. No more excuses. When I crack that, my art quality will shoot up in quality for the first time in AGES
:bulletred: Move out, and back to West Auckland- maybe central west.
:bulletred: Stay healthy. Specially with the swine flu now officially in NZ :(
:bulletred: Spend less time on the net so I can accomplish this stuff
:bulletred: Get my fitness level back up again- no more excuses!
:bulletred: Make myself happy again. This will be the difficult one :(

I'll see how this goes. Dropping my caffeine addiction by itself made this year worth while, but there's still ALOT I wanna do. I'm going to have to remember to revisit this journal as much as possible. I want to do at least half of this. AT LEAST. I just gotta do it.

Um... Wish me luck?

Good luck! :heart:

Some quick advice for the staying healthy thing: invest in a bottle of Thompson's Immunofort tablets if you're not already on them. They do really help to boost you up a bit. :)

grab a napkin homie, 'coz you just got served. :noes:
:iconeilime:
good luck if I can help with any just let me know....

you are cute my tiny nephew
:iconarkillian:
Are they expensive? I'm getting a little tired of spending hundreds of dollars on pills and potions T.T That infection from last year took over a grand out of my wallet by itself :( I'll look into it though ^^ My health has been holding my art back for the last 2 years, which is why it's suffered so badly. My concentration levels and imagination are nothing to what they use to be. This concerns me :(
:iconarkillian:
I donno if there's anything on my list that anyone can help me with ^^; I guess support is all I could ask for. Something to tell my self defeatist side to get over it >.>
:iconeilime:
I can try to do that....

you are cute my tiny nephew
:icondumpling-canai:
Lol (or not lol), I think JillValentine is having the same problem of no motive.... as was (is) I...

Fortunately I just have the biggest milestone in my personal project today, so I'm pretty satisfied right now. But anyhow, good luck with your goals.

BTW. Since you're highly interested in attorney story, have you done some studies into laws too? Here's an interesting site about the code of conduct of a lawyer: [link]
:iconarkillian:
Heh- that's something I should add to the list- finishing Turnabout Attorney. Oh- and my website... Oh man... so much I need to do T.T

I think the Ace Attorney series is a bit relaxed on actual law practices for the sake of law, but I'll take a look at it later on- thanks ^^ I haven't studied law, but I'm going of the feel of the universe, and my knowledge base of Mafia. I'm not going to cut corners if I can find it out though, so thanks ^^

Yeah- poor Jilly T.T I wish I was in Vagas so the two of us could meet up and scribble crap of our OCs and get back into art again. I swear- I have no friends that enjoy drawing atm IRL. It's very draining on me. I use to thrive off being surrounded by people that loved drawing. Now everyone doesn't seem to care or its a chore :(
:icondumpling-canai:
I see. I only got that link because I'm taking pre-law now (not for career, but just to satisfy my college social-studies hours, thank goodness).... it's a bit dry and boring at places, the often quite interesting too. At first you'd think it's often easy to tell if someone's guilty or not, but I discovered all these vagues cases that can really go one or another depending on how skillful the lawyer might be.

I guess for those who aren't making a living off art, time becomes less and less of a commodity.
:iconarkillian:
No- They're still into art. I just can't get ahold of all my drawing friends if they do still do it for fun. They're all changed heart for social activities, too far away, or too busy now days. IT's such a famine to talk art with someone. I'd do it on the net, but noone really seems to care. Sorry- I'm becoming a downer again T.T

Collab- anyone out there interested in doing a tag team picture with me?
