I may not write much here anymore, especially with my rampant Twitter addiction for the past 18 months or so, but I always like to take some time to think about New Years, resolutions and the like. I’m feeling good about what 2010 has to offer so far. I’d like to make the following resolutions to either forget or genuinely make myself a better person:
First and rightfully so, I’d like to focus more on reading and writing. I currently have a nice selection of books on my desk at home that I’m reading through and fully intend to continue soaking up the written word. Conversely, I also would like to focus more on writing more, as intended with starting Clovis Pulse. The site has started off slow, but ideas between myself, David, and Crysti are continuing to brew and we plan on doing some fun stuff in the next year with the site. I also have many journals I’ve been given throughout the years and think it would be fun to pick up a pen every once and a while, even if it’s just to write something as simple as a haiku. Words inspire me to produce more words.
Fitness and nutrition will also be a priority in 2010. Almost three years ago, I was in the best shape of my life, eating right, and exercising heaps. I want to get back on that wagon, as I miss running. A big focus for 2010 is going to be regaining energy lost from laziness and eating poorly. That’s right, I’m talking about more vegetables, granola, and cooking my own meals. I plan on using Traineo.com to help me organize and motivate this effort.
Finally, 2009 was the year I started my own freelancing business. I was tasked with helping the Clovis Police Department develop a new website, along with a few other projects. In 2010, I aim to buckle down even more with a variety of clients, with my biggest goal being to help people develop websites and social networking awareness, and also to build and focus on my web design portfolio. The biggest challenge is juggling the two hats of print designer and web designer. I look forward to studying and practicing new skills, as well as sharpening old ones, in order to continue to pursue my second professional passion.
Cheers, to a happy and healthy Twenty-Ten!

Bravo on your goals for 2010!
Traineo sounds awesome, I’ve been using FitDay.com to track what I eat. I’d like to hear how Traineo works for you. I don’t own a scale, so putting in my weight on a daily basis would be hard.
I can see you being an independent Graphic Designer… I hope that goal sees fruitition!
So far I’m not really eating that much better, but I have done a few workouts centered around Wii Fit. I’m considering Wii Fit as a slow start to getting back in shape. Haven’t logged anything on Traineo since I joined. Maybe I just need new running shoes since my old Nike+ ones are losing their soles! The Nike+iPod kit is a fantastic way to track progress too, almost thoughtless.
