Archive for ‘January, 2010‘

This Saturday, January 23rd, 2010, Andy Moor – #15 DJ in the world (and a personal hero of mine) – made his first Vancouver appearance of 2010 in a sold-out show at Mint Nightclub. With the venue packed wall-to-wall, Andy put on massive show that had attendees in a frenzy, despite a series of sound problems.

My highlight of the night? I was crouching out of a photograph, and Andy rushed past, kneeing me in the face. Still deciding whether or not I’m happy about that encounter. Meh. C’est la vie. Good show, Andy Moor!

Looking for more photos of the night? They’re all on Flickr and Facebook!

2009 was my best year yet, full of firsts and lots of learning. All areas of my life – especially music, photography, marketing (and my waistline) – saw great changes. Still, with each new year, there’s much to be done. By the end of 2010, I will

• Learn to live in the moment by putting the iPhone down and leaving the camera behind.
• Use goals and the Pomodoro Technique so I can get more done.
• Be kinder because people are all that matter in the end.
• Stop being a perfectionist so I can learn to let go.
• Learn mandarin and travel to China because it’s time I get in touch with my roots.
• Learn to communicate better because connections are everything.
• Read more and practice perfect practice so I can grow.
• Launch Synthios, my online music academy.
• Release my album “Prelude”. (It’s been on hold for years.)
• License my music and photos because it’s about time passion paid off.
• Get Explored on Flickr 25 times because once isn’t enough.
• Sleep a decent amount at a decent hour because these panda eyes aren’t flattering.
• Drop 25 pounds because being round doesn’t help the panda situation.

This list is bound to grow over the next few days, but these are the main items. So – if I’m not sexy by the end of 2010, you all have permission to yell at me.

How about you? What are your resolutions? How do you keep yourself motivated? (I keep copies of my goals in rooms I spend the most time in.)
