Holidays and resolutions...
Stardate Unknown
Holiday season grinds to a halt. The New Year has dawned, and now it's time to contemplate the mundane things we all do everyday, like work... It is my last day of holidays, and I have to say, the time off was great! Whether or not it was entirely productive is another matter, but in the long run, rest is rest.
The last year was full of every imagineable thing, from family fun to political idiocy. I think one of the biggest things for me was the Judas Priest concert, as it did two things for me, other than simply entertain me. It reinvigorated my interest in playing music, and it made me feel like I was 20 again. Heh. I have also enjoyed writing for over a year now, and I should be back in full swing starting today or tomorrow.
As for those silly resolutions? Let me think a little... Last year, I said I wanted to paint less, as I was gettign burned out, but by the end of the year, I was really not painting at all. This hurts my site (for updates) and it hurts my clients who patiently wait for handpainted minis by Zaphod :) This year, I will paint more... in fact, I simply must get down to my local store at least once a month this year. I am or was supposed to be the painting guy, but really, I have let down a lot of young folks who could use my tips! I am also going to write and record another song. The last never made it to my blog really, because I structured it to have lyrics, and sadly, I am not poetic enough to write them. This song will be an instrumental and shall kick butt :)
I also want to wish everyone I have met a Happy New Year. Hopefully, things around our world change for the best as the year goes on, though somehow, I suspect 2005 was simply a dark foreshadowing of what is to come.
Peace, and may the Force be with you :D
