31 March 2005
At the start of the year I wrote a list. Three months on, this is my progress.
Start a new job (10th Jan). Done.
Speak to my family at least once a week, whether I need to or not. (I suck)
Take at least one photo every day. (Boy, do I suck)
Get the most that I can out of the membership of the Photograhpers' Gallery that I was given for Christmas. (Planning on going to the preview showing of their new exhibition next week)
Allow myself to fail, learn from it and try again. (This one is causing me a bit of trouble, but I'm still trying.)
Spend more time with friends. (I've hibernated more than I thought I would this year, but there's still time)
Do more things I've never done before (off to a good start already - I've upgraded my bios and participated in a pub quiz). (Done some, plan to do more)
Love. (Ongoing)
Implement at least one redesign of this blog. Done!
Complete, submit and have a css Zen Garden entry accepted. (Still at the preliminary ideas stage)
Listen to the radio more. (Radio 4 and Storm)
Laugh. (yup)
See more music performed live. (Seen: Hayseed Dixie and Thunder. Upcoming: Motley Crue, Alice Cooper and possibly Yngwie Malmsteen)
Read more books. (ish)
Walk more. (ish2. I've bought a pedometer though, does that count?)
Be thankful for what I have. (No matter how bad things get, I know they could be a lot worse)
Cry. (Too much. WAAAAY too much)
Be inspired, and do something about it. (Yes and Kinda)
Write more. (See above)
Be selfish when necessary, and not feel guilty about it. (This is way harder than I thought it would be)
Accept that not all of these things are possible, but do everything within my control do make them happen. (F. Could do better.)
hells teeth woman, motley crue ? hehe.
if you want to do yourself a real big favour on the music viewing front, go see if you can get tickets for Einsturzende Neubauten at the forum on tuesday. this is todays top tip.
-------------------------------------------
i think you should add this to your list:
[*] dont give myself such a hard time, there are plenty of other people out there to do that for me.

btw: thanks for adding me to your list of others :)
"Accept that not all of these things are possible, but do everything within my control do make them happen."
That's pretty healthy. I tried 'The Storm' - it was loud but then, I had just switched over from R4.
"Take at least one photo every day."
Please strain to do this. Your piccies are great and your site is slick.
"Be selfish when necessary, and not feel guilty about it."
There is no alternative.
Not forgetting Pix there is always Europe to add to the music list ;o)
Meh, the taking a pic a day thing can get tough, especialy if you feel uninspired I know! :) Good luck though and lovely blog. I found my way here just by poking around other blogs! I will be by to check out the gallery as you add more pictures. Do take care.
cheers.
