My good friend David Youd has prompted me to come out of the dark and make another post. I realize more and more that it’s not actually posting on my blog, writng a novel, or composing a letter thats the problem with writing. it’s actually sitting down and doing it. not finding the time, i have plenty of time… but doing it.
It’s been a long time since my bloodymare days (see ‘bloodymare’ post)… Still living with my mom, but life is looking up. I just had my birthday and got an xbox 360, which makes me a very happy man. I also got lost planet, kung fu panda, lego indiana jones, mass effect, and dead space for said xbox, and Bri rented the orange box for me from blockbuster, which i’ve been playing non stop. Added in with all of this, i have a one month gold membership to xbox live, which means i can go online and play team fortress two with people i dont know. Best, game, ever. hands down.
around the same time that i got all those things, my mom got her tax return, and it was a hefty sum (^_^). she got a new entertainment center, a wii, she bought daves families old computer and bought a desk for that, and she got the internet/cable. Were rollin large now! I got my new phone, the vu, which is a step up from my moms old pink phone that i was using. I decided not to break up with bri. after long talks about what i dont like about her and what she hates about me and both of us trying to change for the better, i realized that she makes me happy. I still am strong in the fact that we wont get married, but for now, while i have no interest in seeing anyone else and while marriage is the furthest thing from my mind, i dont see any harm in being with her.
the whole bri me decision thing was weighing on me heavily, and with that out of the way i feel like i can breath again. When we do break up, i’m so not setting a deadline, that sucks so bad… anyway, i feel like this post is a big joke. I read some of daves blog last night and he talked about how things like video games and stuff are irrelevant to life, and the majority of this post has been about telling you guys that i have my video games now, so i’m happy. Yeah, i feel like i’m not on the same page as everyone else now, like i shouldnt be happy with my games and my toys… but i am. oh well, i’ll let the chips fall where they may and see what happens…
Another thing that came out of daves blog was the goal thing. i liked how he set goals for himself and then reported back on how things went in the next months post or whenever. I think thats something i need right now, goals. to keep me from wasting all my time on xbox live, i need to take a leaf out of daves tree and super glue it to my own. so here goes…
Lenerds goals:
Work: I just met with an old friend of mine today, James Cates, knew him in 6th grade, we were best friends back then. anyway, met him on facebook, he said he had a job thing lined up, and i said sweet action. So we had lunch today and talked it over. It’s a financial aid company and from what i’ve heard i think it sounds sweet, so my goal is to look more into it, possibly apply and get started there.
Physical: I NEED to work out more. I do occasionally, but it really dosnt help anything. My goal here is simple, and i’m going to keep it slightly vague for now. Sit ups, push ups, jump rope, running. the first two on one day, the last two on alternating days. probably a monday wednesday friday= push/sit ups thing… every day.
Video Games: Go ahead and laugh it up Dave, but this is a fairly important goal for me (^_^) i’m going to try and get my gamer score to at least 1000 points before the month is out. simple, probably going to be easy…
Social: I realized, last time i hung out with dave and company, that i never see people. goal here is to just try and meet new people, go places, talk, whatever. (^_^)
Writing: Saved the best for last. I need to break through this stupid barrier and just sit down and write something, anything… so i’m going to say at least 3 pages a day. this goal could fluctuate depending on alot of things, but for now 3 pages seems reasonable enough…
thats that for now. I just barely pulled those out of nowhere, so if they sound stupid/weird, thats why. props to dave though, for writing a novel every post about goals and improving life. alright, i’ve updated you. i’m off to watch my little brother now and ponder the existence of mankind…
