1 Jan 2009:

1. Kick ass at work. Enough is enough. I am brilliant, but I've been inconsistent thus far. There is no reason for me not to take down 'em rockets in flight at will. Enough is enough. I'm keeping my head in the game now. I'm so tired of seeing minions ranked above me who have no right to be in this, my order of the universe.

2. Create. I am an artist. I answer to no one, I listen to no one but hear the shuffling of quick steps in my mind. These years of self-imposed exile has served incubation enough for my potential to truly transform into a genuine phenomenon. I am no longer the precocious young genius, I start with nothing again. Except my exceptional hands, my beautiful mind. I will make things, and they will be great.

3. Stay sane. No more crashes. I am ripped asunder by hurricanes. I no longer control my body entirely. I must be more aware, more alert, to make sure the madness does not pounce on me again. I will not be afraid. Fear does not become me. Go for the lines, hit with enough topspin for margin of error. Blast 'em cannonball.
