Hello 2025

Thoughts on the new year.

New Years Eve this year was like any other, I spent it hanging out with my family. This time we organized some games we all could play after dinner.

I think it would be nice to be a January baby, start the year with a new age and endless possibilities but I was born in July.

So like the good Leo I am! I consider my birthday the start of the year, so to me this is only the beginning of the second half. My twenty six year has been amazing I consider it one of the best years so far and I plan to continue with it. So here are some things I would like to do to try to continue with the good streak!

Keep up with my current hobbies and try new ones: I’m currently learning how to play the piano, learning how to skateboard and reading a lot. I would like to buy some art supplies and paint more, learn how to do jewelry and I would like to learn how to code probably CSS and HTML. I want to do a really cool website for my comic with mini games and a lot of interactive stuff.

Collect more physical media: I started with CDs but I would like to start a DVD collection and buy more physical books.

Study Archeology: I saw a good school in Spain but I’ll also try to get in an uni here. Even if I don’t accomplish it this year I would like to have all the requirements ready to be able to study abroad.

Make more friends and taking care of the ones I already have: I have such a hard time keeping up with friendships but I´ve been trying!

Bringing more art to the world: Publishing the first episode of my comic and sell it at cons, make an interior design magazine about my house, make zines of all the concerts I go to and share them with strangers, make a lord of the rings calendar, make at least 2 more movies.

That´s all I got for the next 6 months.

Happy New Year friends!
