Generic New Years Post, with not so Generic Resolutions.
12 years ago
It's been a while since I've thrown down a bit of an update here, so have at it!:
Nothing really has been happening, at least up until Christmas.
Christmas was VERY generous to me this year. I basically got everything I wanted (except for a new chair)
This includes:
Useful things
-A MIDI Controller
-A pop filter for my microphone
-A USB Hub (I've been running out of inputs! Also, it's a TARDIS)
and not-as-useful-but-still-very-awesome
-A necklace of an emblem from my favourite band
-Two new t-shirts and a new jacket
-Toy ponies. Not kidding. My mother got me them. I didn't even ask. Not sure how I feel about it xD
-A bag, with the same emblem from the same favourite band.
And I got several new games on steam, and a new VST for my composing program, as gifts to myself.
Overall, an amazing Christmas.
As for New Years, not so exciting, but still probably the best yet. Just relaxed and talked to a friend.
And then my resolutions. Aye, I too have some, and I will bore you with them. However, there aren't many, but they are still not simple:
-Get fit. I may not be fat, but I am by no means fit. So I really want to do something about that. Though, I am very lazy. Bringing me to my second point.
-Stop being lazy. I am horrifically guilty of this. It's to the point where I'm not even doing the things I WANT to do.
-YouTube. I have been thinking about becoming active on there. Not in the sense of watching videos (I already do enough of that), but actually creating my own content. This idea is still in limbo. I want to make videogame commentaries. I have ideas on what to do, but this is something that depends both on if I have the time to do it, and if I can simply figure it all out. It's a fairly big project if you are trying to put out the best quality you can. There is also an alternative/addition to this:
-Livestreaming. I love the prospect of just simply hanging out with a large group of people, and (putting it bluntly) being the center of attention. Which is odd because I usually don't like being the center of attention, but in the past year, my social anxiety (at least what was left of it) has been pretty much blown to smitheroons. And watching the Yogscast stream all month really made me realise how much I love livestreams.
-Release an album. With my new music equipment, I can actually set this goal. I have made some music, but nothing I have ever finished. And I want to do that. I want to put together a complete album by the end of the year. I was thinking maybe set the goal of making one music track a month, and have a total of 12 tracks, but since it's already such a big task, I may settle for 10, or even only 8. It depends on how things go. I don't expect to be a powerhouse at the start, because I am still farily inexperienced with producing full tracks, but this is a year for me to learn.
That's about it really. Hopefully life allows me to complete these goals.
Random side note, I just fixed the latency problems I had been having with my MIDI controller and my program. You have no idea how much this pleases me.

What happened to you, man? You used to be so cool.
And now you're just like everyone else. With your ponies and your music and your youtube and your presents and your new year's resolutions and your laziness and your randomness.
Butts to you. Just butts.
Though, there probably aren't many, because I quite honestly don't think anyone even reads my journals xD
