Tygrrius Begins? Thoughts On A New Year

"Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save."
--Will Rogers
2008 is here. It's a chance to reexamine life, set new goals, and start fresh. Last year, I actually accomplished a recurring New Year's resolution that had been on my list for five to ten years -- returning to school to begin completing a degree. I made it through the first class, with an "A" no less (by the skin of my teeth).
My next class starts, wow, next week. Didn't seem like much of a break. We'll see if this one zaps up as much of my time as the last one. If so, updates here on The Film Frontier will unfortunately suffer. I'll still check in as much as possible, though.
My job of nearly nine years will end later this year. This means I will also be embarking on the fun and thrilling quest to find a new one. I wouldn't call that so much a "resolution" as a "reality check."
Somewhere in there, between all of that, I hope finally to write a novel. Actually, I have no problems starting novels. Finishing them, that's a whole other matter. I did finally return to school last year, so maybe 2008 will be the year to knock this one off the list. In a year that will feature the return of Indiana Jones and the beginnings of both James T. Kirk and Maxwell Smart, anything is possible.
