About this time last year I said I was going to do a couple, related things. Well, they're not done and here we are, a year later.
While it would be perfectly easy to proclaim that this, those, or a few other things got in my way and proved to be burdens that I couldn't overcome to get the job done, after some introspection I just can't say it would be the honest truth.
It's true that time has been the one thing that has been difficult to manage. Even finding time to post on the blog has short in supply. Today I'm stretching the rules a bit and doing this post from work because after work I really won't have the time to do it.
Just because I haven't achieved the goals I set, does not mean I haven't been working on them at all. Yes, I've spent more time than I should have watching TV or movies, getting obsessed with crap that's been going these last eight years, or succumbing to the daily grind.
So, I feel the need to remind myself of my goals - as they are at this time:
First and foremost: Finish the project I am working on. This project is something that I hope to be able to build a business around so that I may free myself from the clutches of the damn job and set my own daily priorities.
Second: Move to a more temperament climate. It would be nice to be able to take the top off my Jeep and leave it off, or ride the bike all year round, or wear shorts regardless of the season.
I have one small project that I need to get out of the way. I'll write up a post about it when it's all said and done. Hopefully the work I did over the weekend on it won't have to be re-done and I can just build it out from where it's at.
But after that, no more stinking excuses!
