			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, it&#8217;s that time of year again, and though I&#8217;m not usually making New Year&#8217;s Resolutions around this year (in fact, resolution means image quality to me, not decision-making), but I was thinking about it today and had an idea.  I&#8217;ve decided I&#8217;m going to aim to create something every month.  One thing, completed, each month.  Nothing <i>too</i> ambitious, since it can be anything from making a t-shirt (all of 10 minutes) to writing a short story or writing and recording a piece of music.</p>
<p>I really love making things, be they crafts or websites, stories or movies, and I want to find some way to pursue that love on a small scale, but dependably, so I don&#8217;t come to the end of another year wondering what I did with all that time, having nothing to show for another year gone.  So that&#8217;s my goal; I&#8217;m going to make something each month, and it&#8217;ll be posted online in some form, depending on what it is (movies on YouTube, pictures on Flickr, crafts on&#8230;Flickr, etc.).  I&#8217;m excited to get to try making something each month and trying new things.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s really another reason for this goal, is the trying of new things.  I&#8217;ll try making some new food, try some new craft, try writing an idea that I just realized made sense to me, or something old that&#8217;s been percolating for years.  It&#8217;s basically a chance for me to create an outlet for my ideas and creativity, and the by-product is to show the world (or my friends and family, anyway) through the internet.  It&#8217;ll give me an outlet, a chance to branch out, and something to be proud of at the end of another year.  I&#8217;ll have something to show that I made use of my time, that my year was worthwhile, and that I&#8217;m proud of it &#8211; to at least some degree.  And heck, everything&#8217;s a learning experience, right?  So I&#8217;m bound to learn something from this at some point or another.  What are you going to do in the new year?  Share in the comments section.</p>
