New Years Resolutions (2013)

Post by Lee »

With 2013 just around the corner I thought now would be a good time to share some New Year's resolutions with each other.
And maybe we could report back every month or so with an update on how we are progressing.

Starting January 1, I'm going to:
  1. Continue my workouts all throughout the year, every day (where possible),
  2. Draw at least one picture per day for the whole year to improve my drawing skills.

Ok, you got me. If you do one of those really beautiful pictures a day, I will make at least one elma level (that I'm actually satisfied with) every day.

Fuck you for making me do this.

I was thinking of doing that too. Now that you mention it, maybe I'll make the pack during all of 2013, and then maybe have a competition where the best total time/most points at the end of 2014 wins some price. Only thing that worries me is that there will be 365 levels, which is fucking many 8)

Awesome picture. Better than I can draw (in that style). It's a shame you don't have a scanner, I would like to see it in higher quality.
Can you upload your art to devinatART? If you don't consider the piece finished you can put it in the 'Scraps' category.

I'm adding to my list:

4. Learn to ski properly

I just went skiing for the first time for this winter and it was awful. Every time I was actually moving, not at the speed of a tortoise, I noticed it was because of the laws of physics, not because I was skiing. Uphills killed my speed almost instantly. So this year I will be practicing more!

skiing can be pretty handy, especially when living in Finland :D I never wanted to know how to ski, never skied or snowboarded ever, despite that our country is one big mountain...
I can add some resolution too: read books every possible day, at least a bit. (now i have like 6 simultaneously started books)

Thank you, and Lee too. Message? No message, it's sole idea is to please the eye, my works rarely have any messages per say, they exist for fun, positivity, awe, respect for the subject, as gifts to my close ones and so on.

2. I jogged once, some 30 mins, probably 5 kms.
3. Not yet, but this week surely twice or more.
4. Got slightly faster, but not much and I didn't practise properly.
5. Almost daily, but way less than 10 hours a week.
6. This is going fairly well.
7. Twice a week.
8. Slowly ;)
9. This week I will do many.
10. Not yet.

Dunno, I guess I'm doing better at these than last winter, but I'll blame it on the spring.

Gave it up after about 2 months. I'm lazy so I just eat whatever is easiest to get and prepare. Especially now that I'm living back with my parents.

Can't think of more right now, maybe will add some later.
1. Probably didn't lose any weight or even fat, but I did exercise a lot more than last year.
2. Done!
3. Done. Gave up smoking on regular basis, still smoking when drinking alcohol. Don't drink that often though, and not as much as I used to drink at once.
4. Failed =(

How about you others?
