Redefine 2009: April in Review

April was a pretty good month; nothing too spectacular I suppose but also nothing bad–that seems good to me.  Here’s a look back at my goals:

1. Redefine 2009
April was all about my style.  I added a few new items to my wardrobe and got rid of a lot more.  Details here.

2. 53 Weekly Projects Challenge
For the month of April, I did my taxes, applied (and got accepted) to Demand Studios, saw a performance every day, wrote a sample book chapter, and started on an improv agenda.

3. Weekly Content Creation Challenge
The content for April included my comedy reel, a tax rant, some tips on performing and a sketch–all available at Weekly Content Creation Roundup.

4. Establish 4 New Habits
After a slow start to the month (I was on and off the first couple of days), I finished with 26 consecutive days of exercise.

5. Improve My Taste
I’m a fan of tangerines in orange jello, peppers aren’t bad but not necessarily good, and I could live without green curry.

6. Publish a Book
I wrote a sample chapter for a contest, but nothing related to a book that I would actually write.

7. Get 100,000 views on YouTube
Still pretty low here (small hits here and there), but I am still holding out hope for the rap video, if I can make sure I do that.

8. $10,000 in Supplemental Income
I made $5 via Demand Studios–sweet!

9. Get on a Harold Team
Unfortunately I did not make it on to a Harold Team at UCB.  Unless they have auditions again this year, this may be difficult to do.  But I’ll never give up.

10. Get 1-Rated at Work
I think I’m doing OK here, I should have a quarterly review with my manager to see though.  I think all the work I do in addition to my normal job should help me out.

May is now here and there’s still plenty to be done.  While the humor site is up on it’s feet, there’s still some work to put into it before fully publicizing it.  I also need to do a lot more work regarding sketches and getting stuff on YouTube.  Here’s to a productive 31 days of May.
