- Shoot videos — or to put it in other words, find awesome ideas to put on videos
- Use After Effects or Final Cut Studio
- Snowboarding
- Muay Thai
- Parkour
- Not being afraid to fail
- Not Tempted at all to act on how and what others expect you to do and behave
- Focus on simple things once (as in: get rid of everything apart from bare essentials)

Heri: nice list… but… are you planning on tackling any of these in 2009? I love parkour, but never tried it. I have been looking at toronto parkour groups for a while. I may attempt some indoor training for parkour and hit the streets in spring? Are you with me?

Leila, yes, I’m planning to tackle them. I’m not put on myself huge pressures, but if I get the chance, I’ll take it.
The list by the way is not in any particular order.
For parkour, yes, it takes spring or summer to do it. I’ve got a friend who did it. Will ask her for tips
