I must say, 2011 has been one of the best and most eventful years of my life.. I experienced a lot of firsts like running a half-marathon and it was a year where I learned a tremendous amount about myself, others and the world around me..

Being diagnosed with ADHD on 4.20.11 has really changed my life.. I was able to commit to so many things and actually FOLLOWTHROUGH which has always been an incredibly hard task for me..
 
It’s definitely been a year of MAJOR change.. Weddings, newborns, relocation.. You name it.. It happened. And it happened A LOT. I lost a “best friend”, rekindled some long lost friendships, met many new amazing people and spread myself thinner than I ever have before…

I moved in with the most awesome set of people any one could ask for.. We are a real life Real World, 7 strangers (now friends of course) who moved into a mansion where everyone has their own unique talent.. From a painter to a graphic designer, a rapper and an internationally sponsored DJ, we have it all. Everyday is a party at the C-Rocker house and I seriously couldn’t have ended up in a better living situation.. Definitely one of the best things that’s happened to me in 2011..
 
I traveled to the most places I ever have in a period of one year.. From Miami to the Bahamas to Vegas (twice) to Hawaii to Seattle to LA to San Diego.. I visited and saw many new places as well as revisited some of my faves.
 
Two of those places, Vegas(2nd time) and Seattle, were thanks to my venture with the 4Play Ladies whom I had the pleasure of performing with throughout 2011..
 
Speaking of performing, I was also able to share the stage and video screen more than a few times with some of my favorite fellow YouTubers this year, Summerbreeze, Erin Paula, Michelle Martinez and Jenny Suk just to name a few.. I had the honor of hosting MYX TV’s Top 10 countdown on the most epic date of the year, 11.11.11.. I also joined an amazing band named Slick Blow and have really focused on collaborations more so than my own solo career.. Though this may not seem ideal to most, it has really helped me grow as an artist by being surrounded with immense talent and forcing myself to do things I would not have normally done on my own.. I teamed up with Breakstone Productions in 2011 and though production was put on hold, I’m hoping to release something this year with them.. :)
 
It was also a year I fulfilled my desire of music the most.. Ultra, edc, Identity, Skrillex (3 times), Deadmau5, Kaskade (twice) and I’m sure there’s a few more I’m missing.. Seriously an unforgettable year for music..

All the while, I worked two jobs, one full-time and multiple part-night-time jobs while enrolled as a half-time student.. Just recently, I worked 3 jobs in one day and the inevitable happened where I got burnt the fuck out.. lol
 
Don’t get me wrong, it was super fun while it lasted .. Not only was I working like a dog, I was also partying like an animal lol.. Surprisingly enough, this was also a year I was optimally healthy and rarely got sick.. Happiness and laughter really is the best medicine despite all the damage I put on my body throughout the year which Lord knows was definitely the worst it’s ever been through haha..

So with the turn of the new year, I’m taking a short hiatus.. Though I’m starting off the year with a big bang by going to Miami for Holy Ship! It’s going to be smooth sailing after that..

I hate making resolutions because I never followed through with them before.. But with the help of my diagnosis last year, I think I can do it.. So this year, I’m going to publicly announce my resolutions so you can witness the effort and hopefully inspire some of you to make this year a great one.. A productive one.. Besides, if the world really does end this year, then we better make this one count! Haha. So here we go..

1.) Work less, create more.. Last year I worked so much and made the most money I ever have in my entire lifetime but it was also my most unproductive year creatively.. I rarely blogged, I rarely wrote, I rarely did anything art or fashion related (except for my edc outfit lol) and I rarely made any new music.. This year, I’m really motivated to spend more time creating and giving something back to the world since the world has been so good to me.. There is nothing more fulfilling than finishing something that can be shared and enjoyed with others..

2.) Spend more time with family and friends.. I’ve really neglected a lot of people due to excessive work and straight laziness.. One of my friends asked me multiple times to hang out but I always had work or I’d be too tired from work to go out.. She said to me, “What’s the point of working so much if you never have time to spend with your friends? Or even yourself?” That question really hit me.. I hadn’t realized how busy I’ve been.. So this year, I’m going to stick to one job and only an occasional part-time job. Work just enough to make ends meet so I can have more time not only to create but to tend to people who matter to me.

3.) Be less lazy in general and stop procrastinating!! Yes the adderall helped me get shit done but I still need work getting shit done in a timely matter haha.. Also I’ve really let go of my appearance and spent the least amount of time on working out that I’m growing a lil baby gut.. No really, I look like I’m having a baby cause my gut is so big lol.. I rarely wore make up or did anything to my hair which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but I think I could put in a lil more effort into myself now that I won’t be working so damn much.. I also really need to keep up with all my social networks and update my web page more often.. Poor thing gets the least amount of attention lol.. I want to take more pictures and share them.. I rarely captured the many memorable events last year and I’m so sad I didn’t get to share more of those moments with pictures.. I’m hoping that having the iPad will make this possible and it seems to be working out so far.. Seriously the best gift ever! :)

2012, I’m so ready for you.. Bring it on!
