Funny. It took this long for me to actually post from my apartment. A lot happened since I could post from my own apartment. Man, what a trip this life has been since the days of Purchase. Things are moving along in the right direction. My feet feel firmly placed on the ground as I march off unto the unknown. The future seems like a frightening mess to some. For me, though, it's simply going to happen. And I'm enjoying the reaction.
Sometime in August I will be departing for New Orleans, Louisiana. I should seem more excited. Odd, I'm still feeling that same calm feeling I've always felt. I guess that's more confidence than anything. I have a task in front of me and I intend to succeed at it. In essence right now, I feel slightly devoid of emotion. But I'm feeling. I'm taking everything in. It might be a bit overwhelming, but at least it's what it is - beautiful.
Slowly, over time, I've been thinking about goals. I need some new ones. I need something big to accomplish. This computer might help me get somewhere where I want to get. For instance, I can now right in the most efficient way I can - via my fingers. The thoughts can flow. Now, all I need is my iTunes library. That would be freaking swell. In due time. In due time.
And so here's my plan. In the next two years I want to accomplish the following:
1. A Master's Degree
2. Getting Published (for history)
3. Getting Published (for fiction)
4. Volunteer 1000 hours
5. Have a meaningful relationship I'm happy in.
Maybe I'll luck out with number 5, but in all, these are all quite attainable. I know what I can do. I know my talents. Time to do.
