\"\"<\/a>On Monday I posted a quick little short story I wrote on 750words.com<\/a>, and yesterday I posted a review I wrote over at Goodreads<\/a>. Today\u2019s 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!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m more or less covered in aspirations, so far this year. Coated. And maybe I\u2019m 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\u2019re not really convictions at all. They\u2019re barely plea-bargains. PUN!<\/p>\n

One of the things I\u2019m trying to accomplish is better physical fitness, via sit-ups and flossing. These two things don\u2019t go together per-se, but I\u2019ve set my routine such that after I am done flossing, I go and do some crunches on one of those fitness balls. It\u2019s a momentum kind of thing, where I\u2019m 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.<\/p>\n

Another aspiration is to write everyday (750words.com) and if that results in some new short stories by me, hooray. But I\u2019m not going to promise that every day there\u2019ll be a new story. Tomorrow, for example, I may use the daily exercise to write an email to my wife. In fact, I\u2019ve already started composing it in my head. It\u2019s about a missing pillowcase. I swear that\u2019s not a euphemism for anything.<\/p>\n

Other convictions\/aspirations\/resolutions include running more often, reading more books, and getting really aggressive with my to-do-list. I\u2019m using a moleskine<\/a> for my to-do list, which, as everyone knows, makes me a bad-ass<\/a> GTD<\/a>er.<\/p>\n

Speaking of to-do-lists, I have about a million things to get to today, so I\u2019ll stop writing for now. I need a cup of tea. That\u2019s on my list, by the way. Green tea has antioxidants, which are good for me, I\u2019ve been told (note to self: add \u201cresearch antioxidants\u201d to to-do list).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
