Pursuit of Happiness

Now that it’s 2009 I think it’s about time that I clean up the dust bunny infested blog and post something new. It’s a new year and thus it’s a time for change. At least this is what people mostly all over the world would be telling you as they hit the gym to renew themselves with fresh new resolutions that will slowly slip away in the abyss of one’s brain, or will become lost in time or the lack of time management.

Anywho, a friend asked me, “Would you say you are happier now at this moment, than you were last year at this same moment?” Unfortunately for me the answer was a no. Or I was going to answer “no” and somehow managed to say “nu, mm, yes?” The mixed answer came from various events and things and changes – it would take me too long to explore all the events that happened in 2008 in less than a few blog posts…

Now that the question has had time to marinate in my brain for a week or two, I’m almost certain that I could tell her again “perhaps.” Although I would be insisted upon answering to a definitive answer of “yes” or “no,” it could only come to be either or neither.

There are many things that I am fortunate to have and am very grateful for (most of the time at least), but I can only say perhaps since I am still in the pursuit of happiness and the truth. The truth being the fuel that will drive me to what I want. I have yet to figure out what my true passion is and I’ll continue to take classes that pique my interest in hopes to find it. But without further adue my still very rough idea of a resolution:

• Blog at least every other week
• Make time each day to draw for 10 mins
• Update beholdthemundane with a comic once every other week
• Eat out less
• Workout more often
• Go on a photoshoot once a month
• Complete one craft project before moving on to another one

Hopefully I can keep this up this year. I’ll update my progress as much as I can.
