Upon reflection, I have decided that I have goals on 4 separate fronts that require balance between each other. The 4 aspects of life that I am actively or not so actively trying to improve on. In no particular order
1. Work. This is actually going quite well. At times I wish the business endevour would move forward faster, but it’s a catch 22 situation: I need money so I do other work, if the business was already generating money then I wouldn’t, etc. All in all, things are going well on this front. Freelance stuff is going great, my interest levels in all fields I’m in remains strong, even if my time is sporadic. I could apply myself a bit more consistently, but hey, all is aiight.
2. Physical. I’ve been so fucking inexcusably lazy. I virtually never go to the gym anymore, fall in and out of cycles of exercises that I do from my physio, and never reapply this knee taping stuff she taught me. Inexcusable and lazy, especially considering I’m lucky to be where I am with the progress I have made in the past.. and now I’m just sitting there doing nothing. Lazy ass.
3. Social. Things are pretty good on this front. I still feel I have enough time to get out enough nights a week to see people, do stuff, all is well. I went through a time of excess on this front, now it’s more normal now. I do have plans to subtly introduce a ‘casual social’ concept into the cofa gang. At the moment social interaction there is too hinged on the formal, organised, heavy time invested events. Covertly looking to get back into organising stuff in that world again perhaps. Anyhow all in all, plans are there, and things are going aiight.
4. Meeting new people. Dead, zero, nada. Now that uni is over, this is tough. I dont really meet new people through my current work situations. Friends of friends are drying up. I’m not the sporting type, or a church go-er, or part of those kind of ‘old style’ social interaction structures. Need to meet new people to stay fresh, and for a single guy to meet new girls obviously This is going to require some creativity to do much about.

So that’s how it lies, 2 good/great, 2 terrible. Balance is a bitch to get, but today is the first time I’ve been able to outline my goal fronts like that, so it’s a little clearer. Suggestions on the latter would be cool

In other news I might be going to the UK in august if I can get my act together.. and make it all happen. Staying with family, should be fairly cheap. I just need a laptop, a ticket over there, and huzzah! More on this later
