Wow - It's 2008

One of my “balancing acts” is to try to sketch more frequently. Here’s a self-portrait I did a few days ago. Note my hair. Long, for the first time ever.

It’s 2008, and like the first day of 2007, I again have a sinus infection. Always crappy.

My only real resolution for 2008 is to get my life in balance again. For most of the year it feels like all I’ve been doing is working hard and playing hard, while not really taking care of myself. 2007 was a weird year for me though with getting divorced and having my whole life change dramatically (and I don’t think I’ve publicly said that on here before, so yeah, I’m divorced). Part of that involved becoming a smoker again, and having to quit again. Also, dating. That changes a lot when you get to your 30s, eh?

One of my “me in balance” goals is to focus more on writing here and redesign the site. I had a couple of other side websites (like The Right Back Alley Sin City blog) that I turned off for good. I think I got caught up in the idea of having multiple niche blogs, instead of just blogging for fun. Heaven forbid you have a post on your dog. I’m tired of that “my blog is my business” philosophy. I just want to create one great site here.

What are you doing in 2008?
