And now we are 30...

So my last blog was about the life and times of a twenty something. It was fun. My 20s were filled with learning experiences, heart break, laughs, tears, and some serious doses of reality. That old blog was mostly poetry. I find that writing my emotions out in rhyme is cathartic... I'm not sure why.


If you have been following for any length of time you are aware that I do not do "resolutions". Any change you are really committed to make can start right now. I do like to take some time and reevaluate the goals I have set for myself. Now goals are things you know you want to do and have put down and planned to accomplish. I suggest you actually write them down. Make then real by telling people about them, accountability partners are very helpful. And set milestones. Stick to it and #wala.


I say all this knowing full well that I need this advice. I have so many things I WANT to do... and so little actual motivation to get any of them done. So today is me letting you know that I have goals (and some of them have very nice action plans) and requesting advice on that pesky motivation part. I have a bad  (seriously I think it's a disorder at this point) habit of waiting until things HAVE to happen before acting on them. Procrastination is a disease and I hear they are working on a cure....tomorrow.




Here is a list of goals I have had that are not yet accomplished and need focusing on:

1. Attain goal weight - This requires the most dedication
2. Learn to play the guitar - I have owned one since I was 22... its a little silly at this point
3. Buy a house - Need to be totally financially ready for this one
4. Get a second degree - I have to figure out what I want to be when I grow up (and pay for it)
5. Get married and have kids/ raise children - requires a mate, or deciding that I have waited long enough
6. Act in another musical/play - I miss the stage
7. Keep my vlog & blog up to date and active - Well here is a start

These are things I have always had on my mind to do and there are action plans related to each.... Ill keep you updated on them each month.

Do you have tips on how to keep motivated, set goals, and achieve your dreams... besides a swift kick int he pants and a drill sergeant (which I would totally love fyi).. Share them in the comments!

In the mean time... Happy New Year...

A few things that I've noticed about Super Bowl 48

Image
1. Most of the people go to the Superbowl are international. ( considering the price of the Superbowl this make sense only people who have the means to travel pay for a hotel and the cost of the game would be able to enjoy the experience. Unless you been saving up for the Super Bowl have free passes or are extremely wealthy would you be able to attend this event. 2. Seahawks fans are very annoying. While I'm excited that they made it to the Superbowl and I kind of want them to win its hard for me to root for them because they are extremely annoying. The only reason I feel uneasy about rooting for the Broncos, is because of what they did to my Patriots. At the end of the day I just hope it's a really good game. 3. Some of the media folks are really elitist. I'm happy that you got your media pass I'm excited that you get to cover some of the game from different aspects that doesn't make you better than me. I'm staying at the same hotel you are and I would lik...

Black History Month

Image
Today, February 1, marks the start of Black History Month we can use this as an opportunity to recognize, highlight and celebrate African/African American achievements and contributions to society In 1926, historian Carter G. Woodson developed an annual week-long celebration in February as a way to commemorate Abraham Lincoln’s birthday and Frederick Douglass’ birthday. Fifty years later, as part of the United States’ bicentennial celebration, the United States government recognized that the week-long celebration had transitioned into "Black History Month.” #BHM2014       #BlackHistoryMonth       #EveryonesHistory   What are your thoughts on today's google doodle? Slavery is a part of American history . It is a part of black history. There are those who do not want to acknowledge slavery, who see it looking back on the past in a negative light. We cannot pretend it did not happen we cannot pretend that it's not part of what makes us th...
