So, these were my New Years Resolutions, for those that didn't remember.
1. To be more social and meet more people.
2. Finish my documentary.
3. Start making semi-regular income from my photography.
4. Get a job in the film industry.
5. Get back down to 200 lbs.
6. To improve my photography and cinematography skills.
7. To get better with my editing in both Photoshop and Final Cut.
And this is the status on them.
1. Haven't really gone out much, due to the wife being paranoid about money with me not working. And since I'm rather shy around people I don't know, I prefer to go out with others to help break the ice and such, but I haven't really had anyone to go out with. My wife doesn't like to go out socializing much and most of my friends seem to have better things to do than hang out with me.
2. Hopefully by summer of next year, yet again. Sigh.
3. I am making no income from my photography. Actually, I'm getting paid in t-shirts by shooting for punkstuff.com's new site. And I got a free calendar for a shoot I did for the Sugarplum Elves. But this makes the wife paranoid about money.
4. Still unemployed and the wife is too paranoid about money that I can't go down to LA to look for work. Have a strong feeling this will never happen.
5. Still have to lose about 50-60 lbs. The amount I needed to lose back in January.
6. Having not shot much, both video and still, I can say that I am probably regressing in my skills.
7. Since this is very much connected to #7, I can probably say that the answer is the same.

rpg:
don't beat yourself up over these....regroup, re-evaluate, and try again! Maybe the goal is unrealistic given the economy or personal circumstances or whatever? Maybe there's another way or reaching the goal? or the goal need to be modified somewhat. Hang in there.
