New Year Resolutions

Be alive. Be emotional. Be feeling. Be daring. Be caring. Be disciplined. Be hardworking. Be optimistic. Be self assured. Be me. Be challenged. Be brave enough to explore. Be curious. Be more.

Read books slowly. Savor every image, every noun, every verb, every adjective. Read to evoke hidden emotions. Read to feel, to experience the story, not to find out what happens in the end. Read for the journey, not the ending.

Read:

1) East of Eden
2) Cold Mountain
3) Nicholas Nickleby
4) Earthsea

Watch movies with content. Watch movies that make me think. Watch movies with complex plots. Watch movies that inspire, that sadden, that evoke deeper emotions. Watch movies that is outside my comfort zone. No more movies with girls whose only mastery of the English vocabulary is "Oh my god." Watch darker movies.

1) Chumscrubber
2) Nicholas Nickleby
3) Schindler's List
4) Flag of our Fathers
