New Year. New Goals To Forget About In 6 Months.

I know that everyone makes crazy new year resolutions, most of which will never be attained but hey, it's nice to have aspirations and goals. I am no different. I have goals. Shocking, I know.

I have had a lot of thoughts crossing through my mind as to what I would like to accomplish and I figured that if I never write them down they will never be official and then I'm really screwed. So, I thought I would write down a few of my goals...I promise that although I may need to shed a few of those "my wife was pregnant so I gained sympathy weight" pounds, not one of my goals will be about weight loss.

1. Write a blog post every day for the year... we'll see how this ends up.

2. Be more honest... I tend to exaggerate a bit. I tell people yes when I feel like shouting no. I will say what I think will make someone happy even if I don't know if that's entirely true. I lie. I don't want to though.

3. Make time for the important things. I like to be lazy and not do what I know I should... much to the chagrin of my spouse. I watch youtube videos when I should be doing homework. I lay in bed when I should be getting ready for work. I write blog posts when I should be in bed... it's a work in progress.

4. Find a new way to show my wife that she is appreciated... she deserves it and the old adage "Of course I love you. I told you once" tends to apply to me. I forget that people need reassurance of your feelings for them; saying something one time does not mean that that person will feel that indefinitely.

5. Write letters to Madison... oh yeah, that's the name of the young lady who owns my heart... I hope my wife is okay sharing my heart with another woman...well, a baby. Anyway, I digress.... Write letters to Madison; any little thing: words of advice, jokes, wisdom, funny stories, help with everyday situations that I may suck at accomplishing, y'know, random stuff.

That's five for now but you better believe that I have more goals than just those. I have spiritual, physical, mental, familial, educational, jobtional (please credit all uses of the word jobtional to C. Michael Thomas, Esq.), etc.

Finally, a full length blog post... *fireworks*
