I have been convinced that having goals is an important thing and that I should probably have them. My buddy presented a pretty good case and I can admit when I am wrong. I am still against 5-year plans and making goals with a time limit, but goals are probably a good thing to have. It’s nice to complete a small goal and then have the motivation to complete another, bigger one. So I am going to try and do that. I started with cleaning every inch of my apartment and getting rid of a bunch of stuff that was cluttering me up. The place is as clean as it’s been since I moved in (and that’s after having people over), but I still have a ways to go as I still feel that it’s too cluttered and I think clutter affects my moods. Call it Vin Shui. I’ve also been trying to write down more of my writing ideas, no matter how big or small they are, so that I don’t lose them. I wish that Walking Tall was never made because I had a really cool idea for The Rock as a soldier returning to his hometown to find his town had gone to hell when he was away that was actually nothing like Walking Tall besides that. Oh well.
Anyways I won’t post all my goals here, but I’ll write about a few and then try to write something about any that I do accomplish if I think that it’s funny or good. Here’s a few for now:
- Send in application for Mike and I to go on Amazing Race. They aren’t currently taking any, but I am going to keep checking their website until they are.
- Get published on the Onion AV Club again. Barring unforeseen setbacks I should have something in there next week-ish. (See what I did there?)
- Meet up with a person to discuss and figure out our **SUPER SECRET BOOK IDEA**
- Listen to the Pretenders while updating my blog.
- Try to save as much money as possible between now and my birthday by not going to bars, basketball games or out to eat.
See? All reachable goals that have nothing to do with how much money I have. Which is good because I have none. I think I am figuring this goals thing out.
