I apologize for the vertigo-inducing lack of synergy, for I have yet to figure out how to edit on this blasted website. I'll try to remedy it at a later date. Anyway, I also thought it a good time to make a small litany of goals for the new year...
First, the cliches...
Get in shape;
Become of sound financial standing;
Eat better
And others...
Get into a real writing schedule again and restart Corkboard Storytellers meetings;
Keep in more consistent touch with the weird web of friends that I manage to maintain;
TRAVEL (2009 had a pathetic lacking of such things);
Read 100 books;
Record 20 songs in studio (did 19 last year);
Play 25 shows;
Significantly increase my income;
Get out more at others' requests (I have a tendency to decline to much of anything that doesn't interest me, even if a good friend just wants me there. For example, I get invited to movies constantly, but find most to be uninteresting and sad, not to mention the fact that they make me very unsettled for the intelligence of the country I live in... So I opt to stay home);
Take a few risks;
More later, perhaps, when my brain decides it...
Thanks.
