Out of the Ashes. I guess.

So I have returned to blogger after I guess 2.5 years of absence?
Whatever, I'm not going to waste anyone's time trying to catch up on what's gone on between August 2007 and January 2010. Those who know me know well enough.

I probably mentioned at the beginning of this blog that I would try to consistently update it. Well, we can all see what became of that.

I might make this brief just because I'm tired and I have school. Oh, let's talk about that.

So it's semester 2 in year 11. I'm really feeling the boredom. I have so many things at home I could be focusing on. Guess I gotta get my educationz? An unequal exchange if you ask me, seeing as how by the time I graduate I will be moving out, so I can pretty much cross out any productive activities I want to accomplish with my high school friends. Either that or compromise my rigorous schedule, which doesn't sound half bad at this point. We'll see what the GPA says. More on that later.

Tomorrow probably, I'll post a video of one of my better accomplishments.
Local news is my friend now. They interviewed me in the fall and put together a cute little story on it. I'll upload it to YouTube; I'm actually rendering now. But my glorious 2005 computer. You know how things are.

------------------------------------

So it's the New Year and everyone's always talking about making changes and beginning anew, or picking up where they left off, or improving themselves. Ehh. What have I got to show for that.
I would think that the dawn of a new decade would be a pretty exciting thing in my life, being the first one since I was like, 8 which barely counts. But I don't feel any sort of spiritual enlightenment. It's neat to reflect on all the things that have happened, all the things that have changed and improved and declined in the world since January 1st, 2000, but nothing too closely knit within my life to really make a difference. I do plan on posting a blog on my personal reflections over the decade at some point. Just not tonight.

About those changes. Just because I'm a chronic bandwagoner, I'm going to try to come up with a few things I'm going to commit to to try and improve myself.
-Write more. Read more. Promote more. Profit$$$$$$$$. If I'm going to take this poetry thing seriously, I need to get my head in the game.
-Get my net stats up. That means people will read this and it will matter to them.
-See Owl City. Again.
-Be a better boyfriend. I think a lot of improvement is needed here. Others may disagree. Who knows.
-More charisma. I want to host a One Piece panel at Anime Iowa. Among other things, I want to host poetry readings around KC too, going back to number one. If I want my vlogging to get recognition, I have to have a voice that will resonate with people.
-Pick up the pieces. The death of a close friend does a lot more damage than I ever could imagine. I want to move on but not forget. That's a tough equation to balance. More on that after the Run in March.
-Stay fit. I don't want to waste away! When this harsh winter passes and the flowers start to bloom, I'm getting my ass on the track with my Pokemon Pedometer and getting those steps.
-Be consistent. I jump around from project to project with so little consistency it's ridiculous. I want to do everything but don't have the time. I need the time management skills to do so.
-GET A JOB. Why I didn't put this at the top baffles me. I need money so I can enjoy the finer things in life. ;D That, and having my own source of income opens up more opportunities in every other facet of my life. I'm 17 goddammit.
-Survive Junior year. Which I'm not too worried about. The worst is over in my opinion. Have to keep that GPA. :|
-Enjoy Junior year. A task that demands quite a lot more than above one. It's the only 11th grade I'll have...
-Have the best summer ever. I mean really. Explosive. Amazing. Beautiful. Loud. Romantic. Sunny. Starry. Vivid. Forever. I want to restitch the very fabric that constructs the essence of summertime.
-No regrets.
-----------------------------------

Whew. So. Maybe I'm kind of into this new decade thing.
Anyway, I'm pooped.
In my next blog, like I said I'll probably be talking about my poetry and related goings-on.
After that... maybe some decade stuff. Who knows.
Don't let me get lazy.
Night.

PS; I'm syncing this to Facebook.
