This weekend I finished my very first stencil.
In my opinion, it's very amateur, but it's my first so I get a free pass. Plus, canvas isn't really the ideal medium for cheap watery spray paint. His nose should have been a darker blue, instead of that aqua I used to accent the piece. I learned a lot while making this J Dilla stencil and I feel like there's definitely a lot of room for improvement, which excites me. I can't wait to start my new project! And thanks to Shaun I can work on them easily with the use of my new drafting table :) I just wish I can get my hands on some Montana Gold's. eh. Maybe after i pay my Christmas bills.
Speaking of Christmas, I had a pretty fun Christmas eve! I'm usually not all that stoked for Christmas since my brother is in the army and my mama had to work, but I spent X-mas eve at Shaun's family's house and had a blast. We played beer pong in the living room, and I kicked ass. Was pretty stoked about that until I had to take family pictures. While super buzzed. Not excited to see those pictures. and do you wanna guess what RJ's mom gave me? A massager. HAHAHAAH.
Oh, it's that time of year again. When the presents have been opened and the bottom of the tree is bare. When the Christmas spirit has been rung out of you and Jingle Bells starts to get annoying after the 23423th time. When the guilt from eating that third serving of ham (in my case, tofurkey?) weighs as heavy as the bottom of your stomach. It's new years resolution time! I'm keeping them semi-small this year, so I don't get disappointed that I don't win the Nobel Peace Prize or whatever ridiculous resolution I usually think of.
1. Learn to forgive & forget. Life is short. People change.
2. STOP SMOKING for a month. So I can whiten my teeth and so my throat and nose can recover. We'll see how this one pulls through after Ensenada, Vegas, and big bear ha!
3. Chill. I'm too hard on myself. I have to learn to accept the curves of life.
4. Get straight A's. Hell, with working only three days a week I better get straight A's!
5. Beat my three mile time.
6. Think before I speak. I curse frequently. I'm impulsive. I'm a firecracker with a short fuse. I'm sarcastic and sometimes pessimistic. Not quite sure when I picked these traits up but they're not qualities I'm proud of.
7. Let people in. I make friends quick but not many know who I really am.
8. Forgive my mama. I blame her for a lot of things, and it's time to stop being a victim of circumstance and start fixing my life.
9. Redecorate my room. Just got a drafting table which = redecorating time! :)
10. Gain 5 pounds of muscle weight. Cardio to gain a butt, tone legs, and remove excess chubbs, and weights to get toned. Summer, here I come!
'tis all for now. ta ta.
