Unlocked Potential
Listening: Push Some Air by John Brown’s Body
Amazing how time flies. It seems like a couple days ago I was contemplating putting up one more post before New Year’s Eve; now it’s the 9th. Happy 2011! A trip up to Vermont has inspired new artwork; so this is my first portfolio-related post. I know my last post said Hunter, but an impromptu crew took to Killington the Monday-Thursday before New Years; TONS of fun just hanging out, riding, drinking and grooving (new band discovery via Wobbly Barn: The Alchemystics; definitely worth a look). Had so much fun that when I got back, I whipped together the artwork you see above about the things that contribute to me being happy. I can’t imagine being up there/in that setting and not enjoying myself. I’m thinking I should go back and get some images for the other blog posts now.
I figure this is a good topic to start incorporating some sports into my writing. I love this time of year; playoff football and hockey is the best combo out there. The Seahawks unlocked some serious potential and put a smackdown on the Saints last night; Marshawn Lynch beasted about 8 tacklers on that epic TD run. The Jets also advanced through the door of the first round on a last second FG. That was an awesome game. I’m a Dolphin fan, but not one that hates the Jets (I hate the Patriots much more) and am actually hoping they do make it to the Super Bowl. I got Chiefs and Packers today for the record; now it’s in writing. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Devils closed the door on their potential, locked it with a deadbolt, threw away the key and killed (traded?) everyone who knew about it. Hopefully next season will be better…
…especially since by the time next season starts I should have some money saved up to go to more games; on account of me having a job that I start TOMORROW. I expected myself to be more nervous than I actually am; I’m pretty excited. I’m hoping the long commute in and out of the city will breed a lot more writing and some more artwork. I’ll hold off on bringing my laptop to work until I find out my setup (also thinking about hooking my desk up with this, depending on what I’m working with as far as space). Gonna be a good year everyone. Make one of your resolutions to follow me here! Godspeed me some luck for this week.
