Growth
I wanted to write about 2011 and what I learned from it and how I want 2012 to be better until I stopped, looked at the page and realized, "I don't want to write this anymore." Instead, I will strive to make myself and the things I am able to control around me the best. I'll continue to grow, learn, and re-ignite old passions. I feel that's more promising that writing down what I did wrong and a false plan for how I hope things will turn out. Plus, who wants to read sappy sob stories over and over again? Definitely not me anymore. I broke up with that part of me and really don't feel like going back.
Something new I'm trying
Because of at the end of the day, it really isn't.

5 Things
It's been a while since I've posted anything so I thought I'd start with a new sort of "Posting Project" or theme to go with. This is called "5 things" and will basically feature 5 completely related or random things that I have on my mind. Nothing too flashy just a list with maybe an explanation if I feel up to it. I was told that if I write 5 things I'm grateful for every day it will help to train my subconscious into thinking I'm completely awesome. Instead though let's go with 5 any things on my mind.
- I learned that André is half Japanese. That makes a lot of sense now that I look back on it with him learning Japanese in college.
- The context menus in Illustrator are incredibly powerful. Seriously, precise number increments rock! The Move and Shear menus are insanely powerful tools that I toyed with today.
- Blend in Illustrator is also a tool that is incredibly powerful and not often used by my creative brain. I shall remedy this.
- I have decided that I no longer want to do Freelance work. I also have realized that I say this every 6 months. This time I'm hoping to stick with it.
- I have been inspired by Ben Barry from the Facebook Design team and want nothing more than to buy my own silk screen tools and start making some prints. I'll have to research all of this.
Liz was bored
Liz came over to the new place and to entertain her I gave her my action figures to play with. I'm not sure if this was a really good or really bad idea.
