2013 Review
11 years ago
This year has been the best of my life.. or at least recent memory! Thanks for making it awesome guys!
My Life - 2013 Edition
1. Worked at a small startup to develop a Ruby on Rails application.
2. New Real Job as a UX Strategist and Front End Developer.
3. Moved to Orlando, Florida.
4. Financed my First Car, 2013 Ford Focus. http://bit.ly/1kZZKvh ---- RRRRRRED.
5. I learned how to drive stick. Thanks Hux & IC.
6. Got into my first accident with above referenced car (I was rear-ended.... 8400miles)
7. Upped my detail in artwork while hopefully improving anatomy. Better at legs, hands and foreshortening.
8. Met A LOT of people down here in Orlando, with a desire to meet more!
9. Went to MFF and Enjoyed it. I like Chicago.
Now I know - 2013 Edition
Canada:
Canada is small (population).... smaller than California.
French Canadians are awesome.
Europe:
Still over there.
Italians all talk like Mario.
Ikea is the best.
Russia:
Everyone has Dashcams.
Florida:
People here are Crazy.
Tourists Suck.
Blue Skies are Great.
Games:
I don't have time for them.
Cookie Clicker is Addictive. Fuck me.
I wish the Wii U was good.
Furries:
Still mostly idiots with finances.
People really like pre-drawn artwork.
Orgy Pictures are still awful.
Animals:
Tigers are better than Lions.
Werewolves are still awesome. Except Teen Wolf (1985).
Dragons are mostly overrated with the exception of Smaug. Every dragon should be like Smaug. No Fluffy Smaug.
Southwest:
Does not fly to Midway.
Still offers two free bags.
AnthroCon 2013:
Do not share a table with 4 people.
Television Shows:
Wish Brian would stay dead. I do not like this character.
Food Network now counts as entertainment.
Guy Fieri needs to stop saying "Triple D"
Movies
Watched Back to the Future Trilogy for the first Time.
Discovered that "Sweeney Todd: Demon Barber of Fleet Street" is actually quite Violent.
Mobile Phones:
Verizon Adds $30 to the upgrade cost of a phone.
Disappointment of the year: Oyua.
Achievement of the year: Nicholas Cage Wrecking Ball - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0Og4LaB1Zc Miley Cyrus pretty much almost won the year, Nicholas Cage just put it over the top.
Goals - 2014 Edition:
1. Work on the art. I feel as if I have been lacking, but the more experience I gain the better I get. I honestly have not drawn that much through my time as an anthro artist. Maybe 300-400 or so total drawings finished/unfinished.
2. Clear my much smaller, current commission queue, the comic page for Heartless's project, and get people some sketches that I offered several years ago. (Sorry I'm so busy ;3;). I wish to draw more macro stuff. Take new commissions once current queue is done. I don't rely on commissions for income so I don't feel stressed about taking on new work (it's spending money?). Formalize my do not draw list.
3. Become more fluent in JavaScript. I've only touched the surface, but I certainly use the object oriented components of the language to accomplish my goals. Obviously requires more experience.
4. Move to another apartment complex. Although I do like it where I am, I want to move to a quieter location. Being around a mall is a bit stressful when commuting and I do not even use the mall! I wish to be a future resident of Winter Park.
5. Enjoy my new phone, which will be here on January 2nd. I dun gone fucked up and got stuck on Verizon for another two years... since I let my father use my line for an upgrade....... ><
6. Attend some more conventions and do more stuff with local people.
7. Cook more efficiently and more briskly
8. Get in better Shape.
Happy 2014! :>

"Verizon Adds $30 to the upgrade cost of a phone" => 2 hours, unlimited SMS & MMS, 50 Mo of data cost me 2€, I'm so happy to not have to deal with your operator.
2014=> Happy New Year !
