Wavy Hair and Coleman Ranahan

I told myself that I wouldn’t make resolutions for this year because quite frankly…who gives a shit. “Lose weight!” “Make movies!” “Eat healthier!” A lot of these resolutions tend to be the same dumb shit that no one ever follows through on.

But upon watching Diggnation of all shows, they went over their resolutions that they completed, and like an idiot decided, “Hey why not?!”

So here we go.

1. Get below 200 lbs. (I’m actually already close to completing this which is the only reason I included it)

2. Drink less beer (which feeds into #1….duh) - I don’t think this resolution will be all that hard to be honest. I’ve been drinking a lot more wine lately and only grabbing a cheap bottle once a week. Beer is a lot of carbs, and always ends up costing more money.

3. Shoot a film on the 5D or 7D. - I’m not a huge fan of digital, but I’ve seen shorts shot on the 5D and 7D and they look insanely gorgeous. I’d be willing shoot a short film on one of these cameras and I hope to complete a project during the spring semester.

4. A new phone. - I’ve had the same blackberry 8330 for the last three years. It’d be really nice to upgrade. I’d really like to try something in the Android market that can handle email just as easily.

5. Work on another feature film. - The first feature I ever worked on was pretty crazy, I’d be pretty interested to work on another just to get more experience and network with more great people. I learned so much from this first film.

I don’t think those are terribly hard to accomplish except maybe #5, depending upon how busy the film industry decides to be in Chicago in 2011. Now to sip more of my gin and tonic.
