More experimentation.
More creativity.
More simplicity.
More confidence.
Less stupidity.
Seems easy enough, but in the words of a friend, “Accountability has big fists.”
Oh, and maybe this year I can finally stop biting my finger nails. Probably not.

Got a package in the mail the other day with the very serious mandate “DO NOT open until Christmas” scrawled across the front. So, like the good boy I am (not), I resisted the urge to violate the seams of the shiny red wrapping. But today… violate I did… and to my delight out popped a Flip MinoHD. I can’t say I’ve ever considered seriously purchasing one, but now that I have one I guess it would behoove me to find a use for it. What that would be, I have no idea yet. I’ve never taken the vlogging plunge and I’m still not sure I want to. Something about the pretension of being in front of a camera makes me uneasy, but maybe it can be an exercise in self-reflection, if nothing else.
I feel the urge to make my every gesture in front of the camera entertaining — no doubt a behavior instilled in me from the innumerable hours spent watching television during my childhood. And since I’m not a particularly funny or witty person, cameras and I don’t mix. My brother, however, reminded me that “Maybe the entertainment comes from not being entertaining.” Or something like that. Very Warhol-esque, I suppose. I promise I won’t record myself getting a haircut, though.
…Or maybe I will.
Hope you like my face, because you get a big fat dose of it in this video. My amateur videography skills could use some tweaking. If anyone has any suggestions on cool sh*t I can do with this thing, let me know.
