So last week I was browsing through one of my favorite Nerd sites, Kotaku and looking through I noticed that they were recruiting Interns/apprentices. I was kinda sad and I'll explain why. Journalism has always been a sort of, secret love of mine. I love reading reviews and investigating movie, game and music previews, so when the opportunity popped up to apply, I cried inside. I only have one or 2 reviews or news related articles in my blog. That doesn't make for a good portfolio.
After that I was looking through my blog to see what I had, if anything. I found two reviews and some poetry, not bad right? Well considering that is a 2(ish) year portfolio, yes. I also looked at my New Years resolution, and I noticed that I had "Write one piece of Creative Writing a Week". This sparked an idea (and a realization of laziness). I should use that to my advantage.
Well, Im going to try to write articles based on movies, music and games, at least once a week. something small, an opinion or even reviews. I need to build up a portfolio. Anyways, I need to get on that ASAP and build a respectable portfolio as well as starting to post stuff on websites to get my name out there.

New Years Resolution: 2010
So, thinking about the new year, I thought that I might as well make a resolution, you know with my "renaissance" I'm pretty much a word away from it being a resolution, so I thought "might as well".
So here's the stuff from my Renaissance:
+ Work Out - I wanted to be more fit, thinner and more active.
+ Guitar - Actually learn to play it and hopefully move to Bass later.
+ Vocal Lessons - So I can sing and maybe carry a beat or rhythm.
+ Better Job - Get one where I work less and get paid more.
Here's some New Year's Resolution from recently (some just expand on the previous)
+ Draw one complete sketch each day.
+ Practice Guitar for 30 minutes 5 out of 7 days a week
+ Write once a week; song, story, poetry, anything that requires creative thinking.
+ Learn one song a month on Guitar.
So as you can see it's all pretty simple, and really, I'm giving myself 4 months to do all this. I have from January 4th until May 1st. I decided not to give myself the whole year, that much time begs for procrastination, but four months is a short/long enough time that I can pace myself well while staying strict.
I'm also keeping a journal on anything I do that involves:
Improv
Fitness
Guitar
Vocal Lessons
Job Hunting
Writing
So Yep, Happy New Years all.
