Happy New Year everyone! I've been super busy filling all of the holiday orders, even ran out of belts due to a GQ.com article, so more going to be available soon.
I've never been one to make resolutions, but seeing as how 2009 was kind of a blah year morale wise for us here around the Corter camp, I made a few for 2010. As always, my first resolution is to continue making the best product I can for all of our wonderful and supportive customers, and to keep the company moving in the right direction in terms of growth (which 2009 was great for!). So, my personal resolutions for 2010 are very underwhelming and simple. I like the sound of a mellow year.
First, I'm resolving to be selfish, in a sense that I probably need to take more "me" time and think things through. I tend to do whats best for others over myself, and I'm going to try, as odd as it sounds, to think of myself first more.
Second, I'm resolving to watch 2 movies a week. Why? I don't watch many movies, so I'd like to take some time to relax, put work down, and watch some good films. My "bedroom" is more like my workshop with a bed in it, which means it's hard to escape work sometimes, so this will hopefully force me to relax a bit more.
Last, I'm resolving to write every day. I'm talking with a pen, in a journal, for only myself to read. I think it's very easy to live such a public life with statuses, tweeting, and all of that, so I'm making my journaling habit a daily ritual for 2010.
And what will I be writing in? A handbound, Corter Leather Journal of course! I've recently designed and started prototying a hand bound captain's journal, which will be added to the spring 2010 Brewster collection. They're 80 pages, 6x4, and use 100% cotton paper. Heres what a couple of them look like:
