I’m not a big one for New Year’s resolutions. So, instead of making impossible plans to magically morph into a brand new person come January 1st, I’ve decided to make a list of to-do’s for the upcoming year. I’m posting the list here as an easy reference point for myself. I will mark things off as they are completed, and I will also be adding things to the list as they may come up.. I encourage Shawnogram fans to stop by this list every now and then, and leave words of encouragement to help me stay motivated. And by “words of encouragement,” I mean things like, “Hey, it’s July and you haven’t done ONE thing on this list. Lazy bastard.” And now, the list:
Home improvement/Repair:
Have skirting panels replaced/repairedInstall track light in kitchenSet up the empty planter so something can be planted in it- Paint the air conditioner support structure
Internet:
- Get website online for my sister’s new business
Update all entries on Book Sandwich to include book cover images and Amazon linksAdd new banner images to Shawnogram>- Create logo for Central California Bloggers group
- Import all entries from old blogs into Shawnogram
Update the Hyper Nonsense websiteUpdate all WordPresses to latest version (podcast site updates will hinge upon the new podPress release)Set up Haiku of Frustration Twitter accountCreate new Phantom Power Media site
Personal/Creative/Other:
FINISH GUITAR REPAIRS- Refine guitar tones/patches using PODxt LIve and “new” amplifier
- Finish recording The Sidebars album
Record stuff for other peoples’ podcastsGet switched over to new work schedule- Pursue internship at local recording studio
This list is meant strictly for things that should only need to be done once. I may come up with another list of regular reminders for things that have to be done repeatedly over time.

I think those are great choices. I like that you wrote “pursue” internship, instead of “get” internship. Getting the job is not usually in one’s control, but pursuing it sure is. Good luck!

What a list! I got stressed just reading it and I’m not even the one who has to do those things. Good thing you have a full year to do them. I think it’s great that you’re keeping busy. 2009 is sure to be a productive and fulfilling year for you!

Updating WordPress alone will be a challenge. I am behind on updating it all the time.

[...] A photo of us together before we left for the restaurant, taken at the request of Andy Melton. Earlier that day, I relocated some dirt into a planter so Jen could plant a tomato plant. The dirt was unearthed when our sewer line was replaced last November, and the shovel belongs to one of our neighbors. This also completes one of the items on my to-do list. [...]
