My 2015 music resolution is to practice and get my skills back. I am SORELY lacking in the motivation area because Real Band is just so damn good I don't HAVE to play. I can't play anywhere close to what the pro samples give me in Real Tracks. I do a lot of supporting parts, like strings and organ pads and such, but most of my stuff is Real Band tracks. The composition skills is what I care about anyway.

And my personal resolution is to continue my plan to better health. Today marks one year since I adopted a vegetarian lifestyle and started exercising. After holiday slippage, I am at 233, down from 310. This year's goal is to find 200 again.

I WILL do it.
