Day 2 (364) – New Year’s Resolutions
I don’t think it would be appropriate for me to start the year, and the challenge, without sharing my New Year’s Resolutions for 2007. So without further ado, here are ten things I hope to resolute in 2007.
1) Finish the 365 Days of Drewy Goodness Challenge paying out less than $300 (hey, I’m trying to be realistic).
2) Limit the number of times I mistakenly write 2006 to less than 3 times. Every year I write the wrong year for about the first 3 months, finally get it right, and then mess up again come August (I don’t know why, but it just happens).
3) Have 30 minutes of professional quality stand-up material – 20 minutes of which is 100% (church) clean. To put this in perspective, I have approximately 10-12 minutes that I consider solid right now, only 4 of which are church clean. 6 of those 10 were in the set at the Funny Bone.
4) Create an interactive website that fuses stand-up with games/images/cartoons/downloads. I’m definitely going to need help with this, so if you’re artistic (ahem, *cough* David *cough*), know Flash, CSS or HTML, I need your help.
5) Learn a song on guitar. That’s right, all I want to do is learn a single song. I’ve had the instrument for a year now, and only know a handful of chords that I’ve yet to string (ba don cha) together to make a song.
6) Perform in front of 500 people at a single time (my current high is 280 at the Funny Bone), and over 5,000 people over the course of the year. This can be in the form of improv or stand-up (if I had to guess, I’d say I hit the 2,000 mark this past year).
7) Actually tape a skit and put it on the Internet. For the past couple of years, many of us 8th Floor members have talked about recording some skits, and we’ve got a whopping 0 to show for it. Here’s to getting one done.
8 ) Finish making The 8th Floor Best of Season 1, Season 2 and Season 2: Summer Break DVDs. This was supposed to get done last September…
9) Get 1 Ratings at P&G. I don’t want to bore you with details about ratings, but I will tell you that this is very difficult to do within your first year and highly unlikely, but as they say: “shoot for the moon, because even if you miss, you land among the stars… or you go too far and burn alive in the sun.”
10) Rate all of the songs in my iTunes (4350 of them and counting). I started this a couple months ago and have only rated around 300 of them, That means I only have to average a little over 10 a day to get it done by 2008.
Well that’s it. 10 of my resolutions for 2007. Let me know what you think, and tell me what you’re resolving to get done this year.
Also, something I forgot to mention yesterday, I would like to thank Rajiv Satyal for the inspiration to even do something like this. I noted his blog in a previous post, but it’s worth posting again, check it out on his website: the funny indian.
Till tomorrow, thanks for reading.
