Love & Goals

As usual I have a hundred thousand other things I should be doing other than blogging, but fuck it.

As the Universe aptly timed, I intended on today’s blog being “Polyamory if you please.”

But, to be honest, I just don’t have it in me to concentrate. I’ve got a room full of ticking clocks and their alarms are all about to start ringing.

--------------------------

That being said, last night while reviewing my 2007 To Manifest List, I was chicken-scratch updating it with the progress I have and haven’t made and in the spirit of sharing and being on display here’s what it looks like:

Accept myself fully as an artist. -- yes. i think I’m there
Accept myself fully as everything else. --yes. quite close

Sell “Soak” -- working on it
Sell “Ballroom Underground” -- so, so working on it
Settle Debt -- working on it

Start taking a regular yoga class -- nope
Chant daily -- nope
Stop all self-injury -- doing pretty well with this, overall

Read at least 3 nights a week -- not even close
Compile the screenplay collection. Print and read one script every week. -- started, yes

Complete “Story” by February -- not even close
Write a new short script by March -- hmmmm

Complete “A People’s History” -- haven’t touched it

Sell MyDemoWorld -- know where I wanna go…but haven’t moved on it yet
Sell Permagrin Pies -- haven’t done anything with this

Discover & implement what the next major writing project is (be it an individual or collective project). – yes! this has been a major one

One painting per month. -- yup, so far

Complete Avatar through the Master’s level -- working on & towards

Sell Modern Wreckage -- yes, working on
Sell disintegrate -- yes, working on

Blog goal of 4 days per week -- i don’t think I needed to set a goal for this ;)

Buy a loft in Pioneer Square -- no longer a desire of mine
Take photography classes -- no classes but I am shooting, editing, & printing

A good digital camera -- doing okay with what I’ve got for now
A good digital HD video camera -- yes, working on it

Obtain Passports for Adam and I -- haven’t done anything for this yet

Transition into the living artist lifestyle. Every day creating. Every day open to personal development, growth and expression. -- yes, most definitely

New Mac laptops for Adam and I. -- refurbished iBook “Cilantro” has joined the
family

Adam’s home studio. The G5, large monitor, Pro Tools. Whatever he needs.
--working towards ProTools

Transition musical library onto external HD and iPods. -- yes, working on

A comfortable wardrobe for both of us. -- whatever

Dental & Eye care. -- ha ha ha

More tattoos. -- craving them, yes

A kitten. -- not yet

Volunteer. -- when exactly….?

Friends. I’ve got to start sharing my life with others. Yoga & Avatar should help. -- yes

Take a cooking class. I want to start creating with food more. -- no cooking classes yet, but I am semi-preparing halfish meals

Reach and maintain ideal body weight of 130-135 lbs. -- almost there

--------------------

The show has been flourishing.

I was able to define my new major writing project and was not all that surprised to discover that it is a book. I’ve already got the first 2/3 outlined. It’s just pouring out, connecting and making sense.

I miss screenwriting, and am wanting to somehow find some more time for it, but perhaps the Universe is telling me to practice on the craft a little more…you know, actually finishing “Story” would be a good thing. And my “rewrite your heroes” thing seems to be working for me pretty well.

The other major thing has been the photography. Along with the goal of a monthly series, I just recently started printing up a few of the favs, which lead to frames, which lead to the birth of the portfolio binder.

Good times.

--------------------

So, I feel like, for perhaps the first time in my life, I’ve been truly loving my inner artist child. (She is grateful.) And that, my friends, is the best damn Valentine’s Day gift I could give myself or anyone else.

----------------------

May this day bring you laughter and love.
