Like Chilean miners emerging from the earth, so too shall 2015 soon rise from the ashes of 2014. That means it's time to talk resolutions! Did you achieve your 2014 resolutions? What are you setting out to do in 2015? Let's talk about it.

Practically perfect? So people say
Each virtue virtually knows no bound,
Each trait is great and patently sound,
I'm practically perfect from head to toe,
If I had a fault it would never dare to show,
I'm so practically perfect in every way.

Other than that, I dunno. Guess I'll resolve to run a <22 minute 5k this year. I was at 24 before the cold started keeping me inside, so I should be able to get there.
defeat the enemies A Strongly
become more militant
May I recommend abuelita
continue being a good father
Relose the 20 lbs I found
Get a girlfriend for real
Become someone a girl would want to date/have a love life
Everything else is going pretty well, honestly
I liked the idea, so did it this year. I went for a mix of concrete goals and abstract ones.
My list was:
-Write a feature script (done)
-Write fellowship spec (done)
-Write pilot (if I bang out these last five pages today, done)
-Write novel (haha nope)
-Produce 1 hour of filmed content (done)
-Credit score up to [redacted] (done)
-Explore more (technically done, but not to my satisfaction. Did better that 2013, but still room for improvement)
-Take more notes (done)
I did pretty well!
My resolutions for this year are gonna look like:
-Write another feature, and submit it somewhere
-Polish pilot, and submit it somewhere
-Write another fellowship spec
-Get a literary agent
-Direct a thing
-Get a more satisfying and/or better paying day job
-Credit score up to [redacted]
-Explore even more
A real pile of garbage
So I can make a less shitty novel.
Last year's resolution was 'finish this fucking game good fucking god WE'RE STILL WORKING ON IT?' so I feel pretty good about that.
Also 'become a lead' and check-a-rooni.
And he's got terrible opinions to boot!
Gotta start laying that foundation.
2. Write a short story and get it published somewhere. Anywhere that pays money! (working on it)
3. Figure out whether or not this story idea I've been kicking around is worth a book.
4. Write up a treatment for my webcomic script, and a lot of different pages, before looking for an artist (working on it)
5. Find a better job that balances my dreams with the practical considerations of both my education and my wife's province-specific training
6. Spend less time on the internet
7. Make plans to go on vacation to somewhere in Asia - maybe Japan???
8. Replay Mother 3
9. If need be, go back to school to finish out my degree
I guess each of those is doable
We shall see
I'll never experience it fresh again, but when I pick it back up I'd like for it to be close to that feeling
Flip the script and have Bioware make a sequel to an Obsidian game
The world needs Alpha Protocol 2
Alternate resolution: Bribe vsove to get myself a job at Bioware.
It's going to be a hell of a year.
I also resolve to move out of my parent's house this year. Preferably, I'd like to move somewhere really new. Los Angeles is shaping up to be the place.
