Coals to the furnace!

I've been out of school more than a year now, and in a month I will have been in Chicago for a year.

I am obsessed with creation. I feel the need to constantly create, to make music or write or perform or shoot. Even if I am the only one who every hears or reads what I do, creating satisfies me. It makes me feel like I'm working towards some abstruse goal.

Even though I have worked on a lot of projects so far in Chicago, I feel like I haven't done enough. I think a lot of this stems from my participation in projects that aren't my own. I enjoy(ed) working on friends' projects but I need to produce work that is not dictated or restricted by others.

So here are my goals for the next year in Chicago:
1. Write more.
2. Say no more often when asked to participate in other people's projects.
3. Focus my efforts on one or two projects at a time.
4. Quit wasting my time on the internet/procrastinating in general
5. Finish everything.
6. Suckerpunch the world.
