Mood :  relaxed
Music :  Fucked Up - The Chemistry of Common Life

I can’t apologize to myself enough for allowing this to go as long as it has to not be well over a month since I have even thought about updating this thing.

Let’s see the big things I want to touch on are the things going on in my life and what they mean to me.

Writing this after trying desperately to fall asleep seems to be the right sort of atmosphere for a stupid self-centered reflection post.

As you can see here my goals have sort of maintained the same sort of decisive focus on the important matters and haven’t really wavered that much. 2009 Resolutions

This is the post from last year which if you notice has the goals from the previous year. This is interesting because it allows myself a scope of time that looks more realistic to goal setting rather than forgetting the new years resolution as soon as it’s out of present memory.

Let’s go over last years and give them the time they deserve before they are lost again.


X-NO DEBT

I have a small amount of investment debt from a 0% interest loan which I still have the capital to cover

X-FINISH TECH SCHOOL

YES!

NO-OWN A HOME

not even close :-(

X-BE AN AWESOME HUSBAND

I think so..

NO-BE MORE DISCIPLINED

No, I am pretty lazy in every way really. Especially in regards to goals and self-control

X-BE LESS JUDGMENTAL

This is something I have been actively working on for sure

X-BE SUCCESSFUL IN MY JOB

Not that this fact matters but I guess I am good at being a bitch

NO-ENROLL IN SCHOOL

NO!

NO-SAVE 10k ADDITIONAL FOR RETIREMENT

NO

X-SAVE 3K OPTIONAL FOR FUTURE PROJECTS

Got one!

So I guess it’s been hit or miss this year. As it’s pretty bad out there I strive to put myself at a level where it doesn’t affect me. I am partway there. Whats interesting I think as I read through my goals in 2008 I wrote those I think before I had any intention of joining the military so I had a pretty easy time radically transforming my personal circumstances.

Some of these goals are obviously going to get recycled and used again as I haven’t even come close on some of these. And I will also add some short term goals for things I need to finish very soon.

let’s get these little goals out of the way and break this down into something easier to digest and more manageable.
