That's pretty much a wrap on this year so if you have any regrets then leave them in 2011 with the rest of your emotional baggage. Get hype, get invigorated and get ready because it's as good of a time as any to step up your game.
At least Katy Perry had one thing right: no regrets, just love (or something like that).
I've already made a couple of decisions that will influence how my 2012 plays out. For the most part cheques have been written and promises have been made, so there's no turning back.
The first one I'll be dealing with is easy: take a break from skiing and learn how to snowboard. As a result, it means that I won't be going on any ski trips this year (sadly the streak is over) but I feel like I need to mix it up so I will. The rest of them well...some are easy and some are not - you'll just have to wait and see because I'm cruel like that.
If I have any advice at the moment for the 2012 version of me it's this: do what makes you happy and fuck forget the rest.
Stay safe you freaks, I'll see you on the other side.
Christmas just passed by this year and I barely flinched. In fact, we didn’t even put up a tree if you can believe that.
While my kid cousins are literally bathing in piles of toys Scrooge McDuck style, at this age it really isn’t about the gifts for me. If I want a new jacket or something I’ll just wait until it goes on sale then buy it when it does, and not necessarily wait until Christmas or my birthday (because I’m spoiled like that). The same thing goes for most people I know (I guess).
Instead all I wanted for Christmas, the Holiday Season and even this new year is all that nice intangible stuff. Good health, safety, prosperity and to be able to spend time with family and friends. That’s it.
Sure that X100 is pretty dope but at the end of the day if there’s no one to take a picture with is it worth it?
I have to go to the gym today. I need to go to the gym today.
There are few things I enjoy as much as sharing good food and good drink with family and friends. This is what I live for. Whether it's going out or staying in there's nothing like talking it over some hot-pot, a burger or a beer. That's life, I enjoy it and I've been fortunate enough to enjoy a lot of it over these Holidays.
By my broad estimation I've probably put on 4-6 pounds this break, and I've accomplished nothing exceptional except for eating delicious food and performing zero exercise. This has been the most unproductive vacation I've ever been on, but I guess sometimes you just need to relax and do nothing right? RIGHT?
I don't use the word decadent very often, but I think taro stuffed deep fried french toast qualifies as that. Like I said, Holidays...
The thing you have to realize about the Black Ops emblem editor is that it isn't freeform like MS Paint. They give you 12 unlockable layers on which you can place 12 pre-defined shapes that you can rotate, scale and change color.
There aren't really any letters and most of them are weird like a biohazard symbol, outline of a tree, gears, greek letters... You can't really draw whatever you like and really have to use your imagination to manipulate the canned shapes.
It takes more time and effort than you would think but considering that it pops up on the person's screen that you just killed/tea bagged, would you have it any other way?
With that said, people come up with some real interesting logos...
