*Blows the dust off before he begins typing* It's time I "necro" this blog.
In the pursuit most goals that I've had, the ending has always been the same. After a week or so of being excited about it, I lose hope at the first road block and it doesn't take much afterwards to convince me that slumping back into the lazy routine is the more satisfying route. This blog is an example of that. Quitting goals so often presents some irony: I forget that the reason I started pursuing the goal in the first place was to get out of the pointless routine - to give some purpose to my being.
It takes days like this for me to regain a grasp on what it means to have so much potential available in life. Walking through the downtown strip with its coffee shops and fine performing arts center while classical local radio was playing in my ear sparked a sense of marvel at my situation. All too often I forget that I live in an area brimming with opportunities for anyone wanting to take part in society. The culture of this area is rich and one can find a group for just about any niche. I work with plenty of geeks who are into things from Doctor Who to Magic: The Gathering. One local I know is a budding filmmaker who has a new project in the works and another is a member of a band that is growing in popularity.
This makes me eager to contribute. I know that each day I spend sitting around is a day that I could have added something to this community. This is a time to not only pursue, but reach goals. It's likely that there will be others to share in them.
