Day 16- Long Live the Blog

Well, with an impromptu trip to Seattle and then the long Holiday weekend for Thanksgiving, it's been a while. But this effort is not lost, nor forgotten. I updated the "Current Goals" section above, adding the current alien album, taking off some things, etc. Tomorrow I'll officially be back on track!

You may have noticed, if you are privy to the information, that my birthday is fast approaching. I have a several-years-running tradition of spending my birthday alone, reflecting on the year that has passed and the year yet to come. I will be repeating this tradition this year. I am going to head down a forest road and find a private spot then just hang out by myself. I'll walk around, think, write, go over the previous year and get a good idea of where I want to go with the coming year. I will attempt to distill this experience into a tangible blog entry so that I may incorporate this, my new tool.

I am going to give smoking another go. I am so torn about it. On the one hand, I like it. On the other, I am afraid of cancer. In fact it plays into one of the contradictions I talked about in an earlier post. These contradictions will make their way to this blog tomorrow so that I may have a conscious sense of them as I go into my birthday reflection.

To any who missed my entries and feared I was straying, fear not. All shall soon be even better than before. With the combination of my coming birthday and an approaching new year, I am going to refocus my desires and renew my efforts at personal transformation.

Until tomorrow...
