Well, it is the beginning of a new semester, the opportunity to look ahead at the upcoming four months and set some goals.

Maybe the reading community can help motivate me to keep these goals, so I will keep the abreast of my progress.

Goal 1: Workout daily (five to six times a week, realistically)

Goal 2: Read books on my list (no set limit or goal - just work on those books and not space it off for a long time)

Goal 3: Watch movies on my list (see above note)

Goal 4: Tell people around me what I admire most in them

Goal 5: Do not rely on insults as "the quick response" or as humor fodder

****************

So: how's it going, you ask. Well, pretty damn good, I respond. Here's exactly how it is going:

Goal 1: Ran yesterday and today (no more than a couple miles each time, but it's pretty cold and I'm pretty out of shape). Played basketball for a couple hours last night.

Goal 2: Finished The Simpsons & Philosophy - started Uncle Tom's Cabin

Goal 3: Watched The Matrix Reloaded (several steps below the original), watched Bowling for Columbine (again, not as good as the previous film by Moore, Roger and Me, seemed a little chaotic and random, made some good points, but if I wasn't already an advocate for gun control and against american journalistic styles I don't know if it would sway me), watched Citizen Kane (some of you film-folk may have to help me with this one - I thought it was good, but not best-movie-ever good)

So that's how it's goin'. How 'bout you?

"I could give you a star, you could give me one too, and that way we'd be even..."
