New Year's Resolutions
Tomorrow's the Lunar New Year! That means it's time for New Year's resolutions! I've got a lot this year, because frankly, I'm like the human equivalent of a lump of garbage caught in a furnace vent, sitting there all the time smelling kind of funny and maybe jiggling around every now and then in the breeze.
So let's get started!
1. Take more selfies

1. Take more selfies
I'm not sure selfies are really a thing that's for me. It seems kind of dumb at least half the time, and as an ugly person, me doing selfies seems both dumb and also something people won't really enjoy that much. But lately I've been reading a lot of articles about how selfies are like really empowering and also articles about how they're another sign that kids these days are super self-interested. The pro-selfies people seem to be kind of delusional, but a lot of the anti-selfies people seem to be kind of huge jerks, so I guess this year I'll try going with the first people. I've done "selfie" "(selfy?)"-ish photographs before, including this one that features partial nudity, but this year I'm going to try and do more of them so stay tuned.
2. Draw and write every day
In 2013, I tried to draw a manga for a manga competition. The final product was not so good. There wasn't much character development, the art was flat and mostly unpolished, and the story was rushed to fit the page limit. I also tried to write a bunch of different crap. I need to polish this crap into shinier turds this year and to do that I need to put more time into that and consistently. My broswan Alex is drawing every day so I I'll probably copy his method and then also write.

3. Work out 5 days a week
I've got a three week head start on this one, because I've been working out in themorning with Pepap using Wii Fit U. The whole deal is basically me trying to get somebody to play video games with me.
4. Forms
I was hoping to have all these forms done by the New Year, but they keep sending me more. Poor people: don't become rich like me, you'll have to fill out so many forms! You're better off with your carefree lives as they are now! Being rich is sooooo haaaaard!
5. Drink the Kool-Aid
In 2013, I don't think I drank even 2 gallons of Kool-Aid. That is terrible. Lately, I've been feeling dehydrated, so in the year of the horse, I will be drinking more Kool-brand-Aid.

Manga Update!?
In case you didn't already know (even in your heart of hearts?) I was not a finalist in the manga competition. So now I get to start a new, better draft! I'm practicing shading faces at the library! Woo!
