And So...

I and a friend decided to write these blogs. We decided to write these blogs in the face of our respective inabilities to make change happen appropriately in our lives. I myself am rather poor in this area.

So the blog as a whole will be the tracking and maintenance of our individual goals.

This is a quick jot, but I'll revise later, and get more specific;
(They aren't in order of priority...for now!)

1) Smoke less cigarettes

I smoke like a chimney on fire, presently oscillating between a half a pack and a pack (25 individual cigs) a day. Point 1 is about avoiding any cigarettes I can by any means necessary.

I'm trying to focus on the smokes that are weak and seperated from the herd, like my first smoke in the morning.

2) Smoke less not-cigarettes

I love my not-cigarettes, they calm me after a day of work, help me relax, and avoid dreams that would most likely involve my ex. The drawback is that they also make me more forgetful, lower energy, less motivated and a much less guilty slacker. While I'm perfectly happy to be all of the above most of the time, its just not cutting it in a time of forced change. To begin, I'm trying to avoid the not-cigarettes on weeknights.

3)Do a bit of exercise

4)Write more often

5)Draw more often

6)Practice guitar more often

7)Be more fiscally responsible

8)Memorize more stuff

I was just reading some toasts on a random website, and realized it would be nice to whip something like that out at the appropriate time. The only piece of prose I currently know off by heart is an old Emily Dickinson poem, and while dead lesbian poetry is the ultimate spanish fly...I'd like to give it a bit of company.

Those are all the ones I can remember for the momentary, will post, re-post and editate upon the morrow.
