Week 1: Humor Me

I've started many a blog before, but like most bloggers I have, at some point, lost the energy, time, or inclination to continue to maintain them. That being said, I hope this blog is the exception rather than the rule. It's the blog that could be… nay… should be the most relevant to my life. See, I have a habit of putting things off. If men were required to take a birth control pill every day, I'd have already pumped out ten kids. Why do something today when you can put it off until tomorrow, right? That's not to say I'm necessarily lazy or even unproductive, when focused I have my moments. I may go as so far as to say that when I have a real purpose I'm even… hard working! (Seemingly random tangent:) Ancient physicians believed the body was composed of four basic substances or humors: yellow bile, black bile, blood, and phlegm, which, when in balance, made a person healthy. So that's what this blog is about-- helping me find a little balance in my life and maybe even having a few laughs a long the way. Here's how it'll work: Every week I'll post a list of goals (these could be anything from, "call the bank" to "Have George Lucas refund my money for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull") and at the end of the week, I'll reflect on what I was able or unable to accomplish. The aim is not only to hold me accountable to myself, but to hopefully continue to devise and revise a successful strategy for becoming, dare I say, a responsible adult. So without further delay, here is the Week 1 list: 1) Call the bank (and you thought that was just an example) 2) Finish the outline for my latest play 3)Follow up with at least 3 of the job postings Jess sent along (note that I did not find these job postings… hence the blog). 4) Lose a pound (HOLIDAYS!!!!! *said in a Shatner "KHAAAAN" voice) 5) Start reading the 'Knife of Never letting Go', which has been sitting on my shelf for several weeks now. 6) Call my parents. If this seems weak sauce just remember it's my first week (says the 32 year old man).
