Rexy Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 2012 was epic enough, and I feel musically I'm on a high enough note as I am right now. But here's some things I got to do for 2013: * Keep at it with my weight loss. I'm still a bit overweight in spite of last year's epic weight loss, so I think I can achieve going down a bit more. * Finish that PlayStation based EP I started last year. It was originally concepted more as a point of nostalgia for myself, but due to other commitments I never really worked on it much, and after 12 months only have 2 proper finished arrangements so far out of a possible 7. xD * Keep being musically productive otherwise; in fact, try and shoot for something at least every 2-3 months. Does what it says on the tin * It's cool to support yourself, but it's also cool to support others. I'm on the right lines with a forthcoming weekly broadcast on RadioSEGA, which I aim to see through a full working season and look out across the community for some great arrangements appropriate for the station. I'm also game to do some more stuff behind the scenes for OverClocked University as well, offering as much help as possible for any future endeavors they take. * Get back into work / college. Major kicker right there; I get redundant, I fight my way back into the job market. Slow start due to the Christmas period and recent illness, but I will make it!

Arrow Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I have three resolutions this year: 1: Lose some weight. At least 10lbs, preferably more. My ultimate goal is to be able to wear a full out Super Sentai/Power Rangers spandex outfit to conventions and actually look good in it. 2: Get back into music. I haven't made a MIDI in years, and it's high time I bumped my production level up. I want at least one remix on this site. Using my own blood, sweat, and tears as opposed to the one mix I have now that's basically a technicality. 3: Do something about this woman I've had a crush on for four years that I've been unable to ask out that entire time for multiple reasons that were neither of our faults. I'd be happy (and slightly disappointed) to remain her friend, or would love to go out on at least one date with her, but I'm tired of being stuck between the two options with no idea how she feels.

ectogemia Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) - Make it past the 2nd/shittiest year of dental school - Regain the 20 lbs. of muscle I put on last year and lost after a brush with accidental Ambien dependency & withdrawal - Keep body fat below 10% while gaining this muscle - Regain the muscle in the same timeframe as I did the first time (unlikely to happen) - Get 4-5 remixes accepted by OCR - Win a tournament/gauntlet compo or be on a winning team - Get paid for music/write for a game - Continue my compositional services for Maddox/be his buttslave - Expand my improvisational ideas and styles on keyboard - Finish album for Ubiktune or at least finish several more tracks I GOT THIS. Personal: Enjoy this city more Finally hang out with Ectogemia and whatever OCR peeps live here in Indy These two can be done AT THE SAME TIME! Other Indy OCR people = Ben Briggs, halc, InSixFour/Miearth (he's moving to Kentucky soon), and Antonio Pizza (have not met him). Another Indy friend of mine just joined, too, under the name Jehm Faulkner. And I've got another music-y friend here who writes killer, jazzy FM chiptunes, but he's not on OCR. Fun times ahead, man.

Ivan Hakštok Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Musical goals: - Get at least 2 mixes on OCR - Place in upper half of at least one DoD - Improve guitar technique Other goals: - Get my bachelor's degree - Program my own VSTi synth - Start going to the gym at least 3 times a week - Stop being so lazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disambiguity Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 1) As with just about everyone else, lose some weight. I'm a pretty big dude, and 30 lbs gone by the end of the year should be easily doable. I'm on an okay exercise regiment, but I need to keep upping my goals and change my eating habits. Hopefully, the rest will take care of itself. .....1a) There's going to be a Tough Mudder in Michigan in June. I want to participate and finish. 2) Get posted. I still need to get a lot of experience before I'll be able to put out anything submitable, but if I get some work done 3 days a week, I should hopefully start putting together some decent stuff by Q4 this year. 3) Figure out what I'm doing with my career/living situation. I don't really want to live in Lansing anymore. There's not much to do here. I've heard good things about Chicago, Boulder, and Portland, but I'm not familiar enough with any of them to want to uproot and move out there. I'm thinking some long weekend trips are in order (meetups, anyone?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palpable Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I find that my resolutions aren't usually very concrete, but I'll go ahead and list out various goals: - Finish at least five songs this year - Try teaching music production - Get more involved with live sound - Sing on a remix, without vocoder - Get on Jeopardy - Go to Australia - Study Japanese again - Make and playtest and hopefully publish a board game - Fix the minor pain in my leg that I've been living with for nearly a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noTuX Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 For 2013, I have decided not to have a resolution. At least, I can't think of one at the moment. I had a list last year, revolving around me moving to Colorado, but now it all seems pointless since I decided to cancel the move. It feels strange not having a goal to work towards, or something to look forward to, so I gotta come up with something quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argle Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) I don't have the problem of most people here, needing to lose weight. Quite the opposite. But I'm looking to gain some solid muscle, which given my speedy metabolism, has been incredibly hard so far. It pisses me off. Still Imma work out as often as possible and see what I can do. Oh and I'm going to try to make at least 1 remix a month, given the fact I'm really bored with original music shouldn't be hard to do.

Dj Mokram Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Survive the winter season, get my life back together, get my music gear back, make music again, don't let people down, attend MAG 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirby Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 -Get my life even more together -Save up enough to get to MAG XII with enough spending money set aside to be comfortable ($20 didn't cut it) -Not buy as many video games -Submit a song to the judges (and get it YES'd?) That's all I can think of right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Mandrake Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I have made resolutions in the past and the vast majority went dumpster hopping without me. The last one I was able to keep - for about five weeks - was getting a job, and that was at the end of last year. This year, I only have one serious resolution: get a book published. It may not be out of my reach... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DusK Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 attend MAG 12. Yeah, I pretty much have to go if that's the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
