Still Here
March 15th, 2007 @ 8:47 pmI, obviously, did not win either of the lotteries. So I’m still here, but feeling a need for a transition. Of course, this is because while my life is standing still, so very many friends and co-workers are transitioning out of or into new jobs. I feel the need to change something, though it’s hard to justify change for the sake of change. But all the thinking has been quite a distraction.
My current thoughts, i.e. list of many options I’ll probably never execute on:
- Cut my hair - wait, I actually am probably going to do this
- Buy a new (to me) car - hard to justify when I have a (9 year old) car (that is no longer manufactured) that is paid off, my registration and insurance fees are negligible, I calculate that I’ve driven about 10,000 miles in the last four years, I drive at most twice a week and about 20 miles total in a really heavy week (occasionally up to 60 miles total if a trip to see my mom occurs)
- Start a running program with the goal of running Bay to Breakers - inspired irrationally by my sprained ankle
- Finish learning to play the guitar - can’t even type that with a straight face
- Write a novel
- Travel more
- Brush up on my Spanish
- Learn French
- Cook more
- Clean my office
- Blog more
We’ll see.
