A few New Year's Resolutions... for my blog's sake...

I don't blog enough.

Frankly, I don't love doing it, it's a time suck, and nobody comes here anyway, yet I find myself constantly thinking of ways I could improve my poor pitiful page in order to keep you, my dear readers, informed as to what it is that really makes me tick (or ticked off!).  Several years ago I decided I was going to start an Annual Music Review, which I thoroughly enjoy doing, scouring the interwebs every year, searching for the newest latest and greatest, but frankly after listening to all that music, and figuring out what I like the best, and who deserves the extra recognition, I'm tired, and no longer feel like writing the paragraph reviews I started publishing in order to give my audience the full scoop.  Yes, it's important to explain why I may like one album more than another, or at least allude to the type of music it is, but this blogging shit is exhausting.  Not to mention, I always miss something.    Sometimes by accident, other times not, and occasionally an album that I just like ok becomes a sleeper hit, and the more I listen to it the more I love it.  Or the opposite happens, something I praise one minute withers with time, and in a few years I regret the whole thing.  Yet, I do it anyways, because, hell, why not...

But I want to do SO much more.  I have BIG ideas for this page, if only I would devote a little more time.

And thus, my resolution for 2012...  I'm gonna try to spend more time Blogging.

Here's the Plan:

First up-  Keep you informed.  I've been working on several interesting projects recently, some of which will be airing soon, and I'm going to start using this as a tool to keep my peeps in the know.  So if you don't follow me yet, it might be a good time to start.

Second-  More lists.  I've been compiling music and film lists for the past several years, and I think it's finally time to post some of them.  I've been reluctant, as there are always those films you miss, and always that album that slips through the cracks, and I want this to be as comprehensive a list as possible...  but enough with the waiting.  I will soon introduce my Best Films of the Year category, which should hopefully serve to guide my readers to the best cinema fare around.

Lastly-  Pictures.  People love pictures.  I love taking them.  Over the course of the next couple years I am going to try to digitize some of my art work (past & present) so that I can share my talents with you, instead of just boring you with my words.  That way this blog can better reflect me, my talents, my ambitions, and hopefully through that, you will get to know me even better.

Of course, being a New Years Resolution, there's a 98.86% chance I will NEVER do any of this... but now that it's in print, you can hold me accountable!

So Look Out Blogosphere...  it's a whole new year...

(I'll catch you in June next time I'm up for air.)
