2010 knocked a number of items off my bucketlist. Back to school for my masters. So far it’s been incredible. On top of that I got to work on my first feature film storyboarding. It was a fantastic experience and one I’ll always cherish. I hope it is the start to a career I’ll love and be apart of for years to come. So what does 2011 hold? Well my word of the year is HUSTLE.. My resolutions reflect that.. So on to the list…
10) Learn photography: my Christmas present was a new camera. I want to take a ton of pictures for 2011. Reference shots, layout tests… Capture moments I can use for my storyboards.
9) Save money: I use to be good at this but recently I have done a poor job planning for the future. The plan this year is to end the year with a healthy savings and early talks of apartment or house ownership.
8) Hiking/camping; I love the outdoors! I long for weekends under the stars, fishing trips, day hikes. I’m getting a little too “city” for my own liking.
7) Travel: 2010 was fairly low key for trips and I hope the new year allows me to explore even more. I don’t need to fly across the world (would be nice) but small trips to LA, wine tasting, Grand Canyon.
6) learn to cook: my microwave is about as far as I go fine dining wise.. Need to get my chef hat on and learn to put together tasty, HEALTHY dishes.
5) Sky dive: I want to learn to fly, better learn what to do if I mess up. I think this may be something I do for my birthday this year, who wants to join in?
4)Help my dad finish his train board: for those who don’t know my dad is a huge model train nerd. It is his one escape from his work(the guy works harder and sleeps less then I do). My father has been there for me always, working hard to provide so much to our family. Anytime I need him, he is there to support me 100%. Working so much has left little time for his hobby. The best gift I can give to show my thanks is helping him complete a project he has been working on for the last 20+ years.
3)P90x: I have started the program but did not stick with it. This year I am going to need to have more energy and stamina then ever before. Need to put my health ahead of other things and this is where I need to start. Looking to stop complaining about being so skinny and DO something about it!
2) Banner year in business: I’ve done a lot of experimenting in the start up world. I have started, sold businesses. I have tried, failed and grew a lot on the business end. I see 2011 as the biggest year for MegatonApps.com. I expect us to make money by the boat loads and more importantly, work on groundbreaking projects we can be proud of. I also have another project that I have been working on in the background I hope to talk about soon. 2011 I plan to hustle like never before on the business end.
1) Kibbles: if all goes well my life, year.. Everything will revolve around producing my first animated short. I have what I think is a fun little story, lots of support from friends and industry folks and the head of the story department at school. This may be the last time in my life I have the time and opportunity to do this. I plan to pour everything I have in it.
I am sure starting in 2012 I’ll be looking at this list noticing items I’ve missed out on. As long as I get my #1 resolution done it will be a successful year. Hope 2011 is your best year yet… And all your dreams and resolutions come true!
