On Monday I posted a quick little short story I wrote on 750words.com, and yesterday I posted a review I wrote over at Goodreads. Today’s blog-post is for the purpose of testing out a Facebook thing. It was recommended to me by someone who knows a thing or two about Facebook, and I set it all up, and now I want to test it, but I want to do so in such a way as to make for a slightly nearly entertaining read. I have such aspirations!
I’m more or less covered in aspirations, so far this year. Coated. And maybe I’m jinxing myself, telling you about all of my aspirations. But if my convictions are not strong enough to survive being mentioned in public, then they’re not really convictions at all. They’re barely plea-bargains. PUN!
One of the things I’m trying to accomplish is better physical fitness, via sit-ups and flossing. These two things don’t go together per-se, but I’ve set my routine such that after I am done flossing, I go and do some crunches on one of those fitness balls. It’s a momentum kind of thing, where I’m hoping that while not doing one of those two things every once in a while is possible, not doing both is too much guilt to bear. So far so good, as they say.
Another aspiration is to write everyday (750words.com) and if that results in some new short stories by me, hooray. But I’m not going to promise that every day there’ll be a new story. Tomorrow, for example, I may use the daily exercise to write an email to my wife. In fact, I’ve already started composing it in my head. It’s about a missing pillowcase. I swear that’s not a euphemism for anything.
Other convictions/aspirations/resolutions include running more often, reading more books, and getting really aggressive with my to-do-list. I’m using a moleskine for my to-do list, which, as everyone knows, makes me a bad-ass GTDer.
Speaking of to-do-lists, I have about a million things to get to today, so I’ll stop writing for now. I need a cup of tea. That’s on my list, by the way. Green tea has antioxidants, which are good for me, I’ve been told (note to self: add “research antioxidants” to to-do list).
