It's almost over..

The fucking god awful shit fest total oblivion of 2011 is almost behind us... Thank FUCK....

Seriously... Hands down this has been a terrible year.. Just to name some of the travesties:

• Having a full blown Anxiety / Panic Attack at Taboula
• Hearing an angry mob, followed by incredulous amounts of gunfire, outside my place of residence (posted a video with that)
• Being almost out of a job & making almost no money this year
• Nerve / Muscle problem in my left shoulder
• Dropping my wallet with my savings in it in a car park (was recovered, but the whole Ordeal aged me by 6 years..)
• Having to fork over said savings to help out a person in need, leaving me completely broke.
• My main 500Gig hard disk Failing for no other reason then to make me age another 6 years...

And these are just the shit things that come to mind, there were plenty more, also some on a personal level which I won't go into out of respect for those involved (even though they are Wankers of the highest nature).

Seriously, this year has been a real test... But I feel I've come out with my head... well... I think more tightly screwed on... or off.... I don't know...

I've made my resolutions, and consequently will be kick starting 2012 off on the right note. New Website! New Album! New Marketing Strategies! A Comic! Production Services! etc etc.. Basically focusing on my career as an Independent Artist & Business Man as it were.. Something I was very good at in the past, but decided to forgo to focus on my Job at A.U.C, because I thought that was the right thing to do....

Ultimately, after 4 years, I can see that it plainly was NOT the right thing to do. The work I've done there has meant so little to so few, and If I quite tomorrow, it wouldn't make the slightest of differences. I focused my time and efforts there, and neglected my Guitar playing, and my career, because I liked the idea of steady work, but there are no certainties in life...

Anyways, I worked like Hell, and made very little monetarily speaking. Whereas as a producer, the few jobs I have done paid me half a semesters salary in what amounted to a day or two's worth of work (enjoyable work too.. not frustrating B.S work...)...

So the focus next year is my REAL career, and that hopefully means 2012 will be a much better year as it were. I'm really anxious to see what the critical reception of 2035 is going to be like.. It's very left of field from my previous works, and is something that fans of commercial music would actually listen to.. Assuming I can get their attention that is.

I also have high hopes for the Comic series, since I can see that being a good little business, which hopefully could grow into a little production studio, I could hire artists, and turn it into a small business for producing online comics... ahhh.. wishful thinking... But you never know...

So yeah, Next year I'm going to be extremely busy with these projects. Amidst them as well, I shall be building a portfolio for media work, So I can snag more contracts, Working on my romantic Comedy screenplay (now there's a shot in the dark...), and finally, my studies into Mugham, which hopefully may lead to me writing a book on the matter.

2011 has been terribly unproductive... I've spent atleast half of it procrastinating... But I guess I had to get it out of my system for preparation of the works for 2012!

What are your resolutions for 2012? How will you cope? and What will you be doing before the "Golden Era Of Man' is ushered in?
