08 was a pretty good year for me. I became serious about changing my AFC ways, and went through a huge mental transformation. I started college, and made an amazing group of friends. I started watching the RSD videos which have *completely* changed my life, and I'm developing a newfound confidence in myself that is even more apparent after coming home from college during winter break (I'm much more relaxed and confident around the people in high school that I would get self-deprecative around). I'm much more relaxed and centered on myself than what others think. My world view has changed a whole lot, I've developed more of an interest in different cultures and different human experiences. I'm developing a more rigid confidence in myself that I can truly achieve anything I choose to if I dedicate myself, and I am beginning to truly *understand* (not just believe) that I can dedicate myself to anything. It's pretty chill.
My goals for 2009:
-Work out, get cut, gym 3-4 times a week.
-Finish composing a piece of chamber music (currently writing a duet for flute and oboe). Compose more in general.
-Learn, inside and out, Logic 8 Pro so I can start scoring film and tv productions professionally by 2010.
-Practice jazz guitar at least an hour a day, every day, usually more.
-Start a band.
-Work on gaining perfect relative pitch.
-Educate myself more about politics.. I've recently been considering politics as a career path for myself as well as film scoring.
-Do lots of crazy ****, have an amazing year full of stories!
