Spring Update

It's mid-April, so here's what progress I've made and what's new.

First of all, I'm not very organized or motivated, so that's why I haven't update the blog. I have a sort of laissez faire attitude about life, which is generally why I'm not as awesome as I could be, and I totally realize that. It seems pretty difficult for me to be the best me that I can (A hippie probably died when I said that) alone. Having the right kind of partner seems to be pretty crucial. Well, it's all sort of a cycle of improvement based on the reciprocal nature of being successful and being happy and being with the right person. Or even just around the right few people, a core group of positive, creative, loving friends who keep each other motivated and energized. Anyways, haven't had those things lately so this is where I'm at.

1 - No progress. Had a few officey interviews, didn't hear back after. Film stuff has all fallen through. On my own I want to make a video of some sort, probably a music video or short film, using a friends music and doing some trippy beach stuff. I'm not sure what role I want to play on that.. I have no real desire to be the cinematographer or director. But maybe I need to push myself ? I'm thinking something Highlander/Holy Mountain inspired.

2/3 - no progress.. I would need money for a car, and I don't have enough. I'm going to Burning Man this summer so a bunch of money will probably go towards that and the Peru trip my mom and I are going to in Oct. And love life is sadly nonexistent.

4 - I'd say I'm still at the same level of sustainable lifestyle I was at in Jan, but I've also started paying more attention to labels, and am looking at volunteering with an ethical consumer group. I'm going to a meeting today.

5 - This area I've definitely made the most progress in because all i had to do was sign up at a gym and get a personal trainer. So that's what I've been doing and so far I think I'm definitely stronger, more fit, and I'm happy with my decision.
