To get this thing up and running, I'm going to blog again. I have no intention of making this post anywhere near good, so bear with me.
Today is 1/1/11, the first day of MMXI. It's the end of a decade and the start of a new one. Something tells me this should be significant somehow, but it's not. I also think that since it's the beginning of a new year, I should do something every day for the rest of 2011. It seems like it would be interesting and something... new. But I've decided two things: A. I'm not doing a blog post every day and B. I'm not drawing a comic every day. I simply don't have the work ethic for that.
I think what I should do is do the 365 Project where you take a photo every day for a year. The only problem is that the only camera I have is on my phone, which has a camera, if you can even call it that. I don't actually have a digital camera that I can take around, so I just might see if I can get one for my birthday so I can take half decent pictures.
I've also considered keeping a journal, which is something I've never been able to successfully do on a regular basis. Ever. Not once in my life have I written in a journal consistently. So to compromise, I'm think of keeping one of those one sentence journals, where instead of writing a long entry, you just write a sentence. I might be able to do that, but I'm wondering if my brain will suddenly realize that writing a sentence doesn't take that much effort, and I won't get excited anymore. That will lead to me procrastinating, and if you're procrastinating doing something that you brought upon yourself, something is wrong.
Between the one sentence journal and the 365 Project, I think I might even combine them and have a one-sentence caption for each of the photos I take. That might be a fair compromise.
Anywho, we'll have to wait and see how MMXI unfolds.

Hmmm.... I like the picture.sentence thing, but the no camera part is tricky. And you would have to have a way to get your pictures somewhere exciting. Like on your blog. :D That way you can make a blog post every day, even if its just a picture with a caption. It would be cool. I'd have something to look forward to. ^.^
