A Life, In a Blog...

I’ve just come up with my new years resolution. 

Gone are the; “to lose some weight”, “stop eating chocolate” and welcome “get out more” “give more of a shit about things” “get involved”.

After reading this article on my favourite geeky website Smashing Magazine; http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/12/22/the-designer-s-cross-training-toolkit/.

It got me thinking. I don’t do any of this stuff. I don’t get out just to take some pictures, or I don’t go out with a sketch book and draw (I do quite like drawing, however bad I am at it). I used to do all this stuff as a kid. I used to go out in the back garden (I wasn’t allowed out much as a child, so the garden was all I had really!) and draw flowers, or try to copy an image and draw it myself freehand. I remember drawing the little mermaid and remembering how shocked my family where at how good it was! I might try and go find it and scan it in to show you, as I do remember feeling rather proud of myself!

But, I don’t do any of that any more. I’ve got myself in a bit of a rut recently and it’s time to sort it out!

I want to take part in more stuff and not just sit at home procrastinating from doing work by sitting there on Facebook and Twitter and watching TV.

I know people say they’re going to stick to their new years resolution, but I give anyone permission to give me a good slap if I appear to be steering away from what’s good for me!

I’ll let you know how I get on!
