2012…first writing and thoughts

About a month ago, my son, Eloi Jeshua, on his way out to school, came running back in the house, as he had forgotten his backpack. I was sitting on the couch looking at him scurry about. He found his backpack and started heading out, but as turned towards the door, he looked at me, pointed to me with his index finger and thumb up, paused and said:

“Papa…Be good, Do I.T. work, Finish it.”

Wow… I both laughed and marveled.

In 2010 my year’s motto was “do not come up with ideas that cause others more work”. 2011, was the year of “learn more about how business works.” 2010, and 2011 were successful in their “nebulous” goals. In 2010 I graduated with my MFA from UTD, and I had a number of ideas come to fruition. in 2011, learning about how business works, I gained insight into what the future of what my future endeavors in Art, Design, and Photography will be.

Which brings me to 2012.

I don’t’ believe in New Years resolutions…but I do believe that so long as your course in life is littered with challenges and stumbling blocks, that you have to be “dConstructed” to maintain your goals…your vision.

So…2012, my little man gave me a framework for the next day, week, month and year…

Be Good: to my wife, my son, my parents, my friends; to those whom which I come in contact

Do Work: act on ideas, on plans, on tasks, on requests, on task, goals

Finish It: make it, create it, ship it, install it, communicate it, share it

…let’s do this.
