So I'm coming to a point in my life (which milestone I've come across don't ask, I'm not sure) that I've made up my mind on some things. Granted times like these are usually accompanied by some good earth sign, e.g.: New Year's - Capricorn, Back to school - Virgo, or even spring cleaning-Taurus. Well, it's not one of those times. Obviously. These decisions and timing have just come about thru mental cleaning and cobweb clearing. Maybe a little emotional care-taking as well. I've decided they need to be done and with my putting them out in the universe will raise the chance of them coming to pass as well and making more of an effort to not look like a lazy bum. I'm also trying to make the list some what specific to help complete them. So here they are, my Mid-Year-ish Resolutions:
No resolution list is complete without the obligatory: Get in shape. I intend on FINISHING and COMPLETING P90x before Halloween. After starting it several times and never finishing it I want to bolden my efforts are work that out. As others of my ilk there is that amaranthine desire to have a six-pack, washboard stomach. This will certainly be the first step in that quest. Along those lines I will have to agree to only eat Taco Bell like once or twice a week. . . no promises on that one though. When P90x will be broken out tomorrow when I rearrange my room.
My next goal is to pursue a conversational ability in Chippewa (a.k.a. Ojibwa). I have found myself often desiring some strong tie to my family. Something somewhat unique to my family group, sans blood of course, that would help tie us together and give me some identity. I see that as a language. Of course no one to my knowledge can speak the tongue of our tribe except a cousin who has learned a few songs growing on the reservation. I am not totally sure if this will help me find an anchor to an identity, but really what would it hurt. Another language known. I'm hoping a my love for linguists will urge me on where not have someone to practice with will hinder. After all I'm going to start frequenting Target more just to talk with the Japanese cashier.
The next is about that book I mentioned a couple blogs ago. I want to get more serious about it. The development, the planning, all of it I want to really start digging into the work. With that said, I specifically want to have three chapters done by December. I feel that goal is obtainable. Three chapters. Of course, they won't be in their final form nor perfect but I want them done on paper. . . well monitor. Maybe y'all will get a preview if you're lucky and give me diet Cokes and friendship Rockstars, we'll see.
This goal is the most serious I think. By this time next year I want my degree to be posted and full on my way to teaching full time. Big boy job and everything. This step I feel is the most essential to me getting my life together and moving forward. I don't really have any more to say about this one but the gravity of it period.
On an up side I want my center splits. Just for funsies.
With that said my diet starts tomorrow as well as my new goal oriented life. These are all more short term goals and resolutions. I mean, my life goal of being a back up dancer to Kylie Minogue didn't make the list, but its certainly there. Stop in and keep me accountable.
I feel this is appropriate material:
