I have seen alike in elusive photo [http://www.flickr.com/photos/elusive--/3166744510/] so when I saw this one I bought it almost in speed of light :)
I don't believe in New Year's resolutions but after what I ate over the Holiday season one might be in order this year.
Worked on my New Year's Resolution - Finish up my craft projects. Here is the simple fleece lighthouse blanket that I created from two pieces that I bought a few months ago.

One New Year's resolution is to get into better shape and shed some pounds. Today I wondered why I should wait for the new year so I went to the gym.... However, one day does not a habit make.

003/365 - January 3rd, 2010
Last night we got 15 more cm of snow - of the really nice kind: light, fluffy and nearly dry. One look out the window and Pinkie decided it would be a great day for sledding.
Luckily she met Chicken Kid yesterday, who had got a new sled for Christmas.

We could also call this FacePalm. My only New Year's resolution for most of my adult life has been a simple one. I believe in not setting myself up to fail. And there is one thing I know I can probably do that will do me a world of good. So most years I remind myself to "Drink More Water." Not a copout. It's a good one.
This year, I'm also reminding myself to more more and to eat a salad every day... some sort of salad. Not that hard. But also a world of good. #365FeministSelfie
Here's me on that first 2014 long walk. It may look like I'm riding a bike, but no, I'm really taking a selfie and a palmie at the same time. Hence: FacePalm.

The troopers were feeling a little depressed on Blue Monday so they decided to check their New Years resolutions of loosing a few inches around their waistlines. So far they look to be unsuccessful!
For those of you who don't know what Blue Monday is, it is thought to be the most depressing day of the year. Click the link to find out more.

"Smile Matthew you are supposed to be enjoying yourself!" My excuse is that it was a bit chilly... there is almost a smirk there :)
I managed to get out flying today for the first time this year. When we first arrived on the hill at Holme Moss, the site was covered in low cloud. It took about 45 mins for the cloud to lift, when it finally did we were set for a beautiful but rather cold day.
This sort of falls in with the FGR task for today which is “New Year Resolution”, my resolutions (yep plural, I am on a mission!) this year are as follows:
Paraglide as much as possible: I let less important stuff get in the way last year
Start dating with a purpose: I am not getting any younger so I need to pull my finger out... any single ladies out there?
Tighten up my company credit terms: some of my customers take the piss! 120+ days to pay... so, default on the standard terms we agree and its back to zero credit, no if’s no butt’s. Don’t say you haven’t been warned!
Employ and an accounts/admin person: up until now I have always done my own accounts it’s a job I really hate and I don’t do it efficiently, so I am going to try and simplify my job and spend more time doing what I do best... err.. sleeping? which brings me onto.
Get to bed early: I really need to sort this out, I am often up at 2 or 3 in the morning messing about sometimes work sometimes flickr, so it has to stop, there is only so many days I can get 4 hours sleep before it starts to catch up on me.... particularly when I can be driving 500miles the next day :(
Bonus resolutions - (to be completed if possible!)
Sell my motorbike: all my friends seem to have lost their urge to ride after one our group of biker mates died in a crash about 18 months ago... and it’s just no fun riding a super bike on your own :(
eBay all my old junk: this has been a work in progress for a while now...
Move out: sad but true I still live with my parents, I did nearly move in with my girlfriend once, but we split up a week or two before the move. I might bitch and whinge about my parents, but they are not that difficult to live with really and it’s cheap! I think I am going to need a good excuse to jump this ship :(
....and finally finish my 365 without missing a day....
Right, it's in black and white now, there's no going back :)
Lightroom: set white balance to daylight and then nudge slightly to remove blue cast, clone out some dust spots (...time for another sensor clean....) use "fill light" tool to brighten me up, saturation +25, adjust red saturation down slightly, save to JPG.
me trying to do yoga.....right....lol
So one of my new year's resolutions this year is to do yoga twice a month, because the end of my 2008 was very hectic and busy, and I need some time to collect myself and get it all back together.
also, in the background, you'll see a huge pile o'things.....collections from my childhood, which my mom forced me to bring back home with me last Easter, which I have...done nothing with. The second box is a box of stuffed animals that is literally falling apart. O, and both my pants and shirt have holes in them.
And...a quote:
"Yoga is the effort to experience one's divinity personally and then to hold on to that experience forever. Yoga is about self-mastery and the dedicated effort to haul your attention away from your endless brooding over the past and nonstop worrying about the future so that you can seek, instead, a place of eternal presence from which you may regard yourself and your surroundings with poise. Only from that point of even-mindedness will the true nature of the world (and yourself) be revealed to you. True Yogis, from their seat of equipose, see all this world as an equal manifestation of God's creative energy- men, women, children, turnips, bedbugs, coral: it's all God in disguise. But the Yogis believe a human life is a very special opportunity, because only in a human form and only with a human mind can God-realization ever occur. The turnips, the bedbugs, the coral- they never get a change to find out who they really are. But we do have that chance."
-Eat, Love, Pray, by Elizabeth Gilbert
not my favoritist quote- but one of my reasons for wanting to do yoga more

FGR- New Years Resolution
Theme of the Week- Book Interpretation
January 1 - A new book with 365 blank pages lies before us. How are you going to fill yours? Happy New Year to All!
Oh! So, it's a new year. Here are the main resolutions I'm working on.
#1: Don't buy any unnecessary expensive camera gear--like, nothing over $100--until I deal with my credit card debt. I've made myself a deal that I can buy a new lens for my Leica once I get my Discover card paid off, then I'll let myself buy something fun every time I knock, say, $2K off my main debt pile.
#2: Don't go out to eat so much. Specifically, I'm not letting myself go out to eat until I've dropped ten pounds. Then I think I'm going to make it a thing where I can go out to eat once for each time I drop five more (not counting however much I go up when I do go out to eat).
(I'm writing this in the future, so I've stuck with it at least 9 days in. Except I let Courtney take me out to eat, but she paid, so that's okay.)
New Year's Resolution #2: Take a photo every day (with the secondary resolution of taking a self-portrait every day).
This probably necessitates another resolution: Get a tripod that isn't a cheap piece of crap so my camera will stop wobbling when I'm not holding it.
Resolution #1 here. Resolution blog post here.

So, I was sitting in the garage contemplating my New Year's resolutions…then I saw the defeat from previous years gone by. Not sure if that helped me or hurt me. Time will tell.

Today's theme in We're Here! is about New Year's Resolutions and I don't really do those. So, I figured: "What the hell, I'll just say mine is to 'take more photos' and do a phone photo of me holding my DSLR..." The bonus was that my phone (LG G5) is reflected in my lens (40mm macro). Totally in-camera (or in-phone, if you prefer). I just cropped it a little at the top and bam... here we are.
I have had a pretty good year overall in 2012, but there have been a good share of drama and complications. Therefore, this year, I am hoping to keep things simple, be kinder to people, not judge people and just smile more and be positive.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what I’ve done this past year. What was rad, what wasn’t. How can I have an ever better time next year? What made me really happy?
At one point, in the summer of 2010 I lived as a wandering, 2 wheeled, transient. For over 2 weeks, Andrew and I cruised around The Sunshine Coast and Vancouver Island on our bikes. Camping on cliffs, kayaking on the edge of the Pacific, squatting, jumping off waterfalls and riding our bikes through epic lands. During that time we also worked and ran our design shop. Several amazing friends joined up for different parts of the trip. We rode all sorts of boats and ferries. I love BC ferry rides.
I had my entire life on the back of that bike. We would fly down mountain roads on Vancouver Island at 80km, carving up the road with our silent steeds. There were rivers & lakes everywhere, I wore only shorts and flip flops 90% of the time. The ocean, of course, was ever present. We ate ridiculous amounts of berries, cooked an entire salmon over a fire on the beach of a tiny island on the Pacific Rim, had several bear scares and countless mind bending sunsets. I made business calls while balancing barefoot on gigantic mossy logs in the middle of an ancient forest. We drank delicious bourbon. The ocean would sparkle with bioluminescent plankton ( Unicorn Chum ) every night. Every single minute of every single day was an adventure.
I have never felt so free.
Next year, I want to do much much more of this. And I will.
I wrote this right after I got back and put up some photos:
“Got back on Sunday from a 16 day trip. Took my 24 year old road bike, strapped my camping stuff and laptop to it… and set out to devour this summer. We were transients… wilderness camping, squatting, trespassing and just generally sleeping wherever we could find good spots. We would stop at diners and such to connect through our phones and work on our laptops.
700km of biking, 5 days of kayaking. Awesome times.”
I bought an Iron Gym on Tuesday. I've been wanting one for a few weeks. I waited until someone put it on sale. I bought it at Target for the regular price but got a free $10 gift card. That's the best deal around right now for this product.
I quickly put it together (4 minutes) and "installed" it. I stood holding it for several minutes before I let myself trust the device to hold me (supposedly holds 300 pounds, I weigh 185).
In just two days, I can now do a few full pullups in succession.
This is part of my New Year's Resolution to work out every day. That's really easy when you don't have a job! Also, people who ride bicycles every day still need to work out, because bicycling doesn't work out a hundred other muscles that want part of the workout.
P.S. The only suitable door in my whole apartment is the bathroom door. My bedroom door is arched. So is the door to the living room. My roommate's bedroom door is French. Whatever works.

I have a few knitting projects I'd like to accomplish this year. This particular project is a scarf I've been working on for two years. I resolve to finish it.
3/365 for Project 365
truth be told: I've been steadily gaining weight: 80 pounds over the past 8 years, to be exact. but, THIS is where it ends. 2010 is going to be a great year! :D
