Holes In Thoughts: 2007 = My Summer of '69

2007 = My Summer of '69

I just realized something. This summer - within the next 4 months or so - I am planning on beginning or finishing five goals that many people spend a lifetime doing. I don't know if all of them can be completed, but it really isn't a stretch. In fact, because I had already planned how and when I would do them, the enormity of their accomplishment hadn't really dawned on me.

So here's hoping I manage to do these things:

1. Pay off all of my monetary debts (not including student loans). This includes finishing off the mountain of credit card debt accrued from using them to pay for college, and the familial debts that were used to float us when we were at our lowest.

2. Finish my fourth album, Ignition. While 'most' people don't count this as something they should do, I am hoping it will stand as a major creative accomplishment, and that it won't be my last.

3. Register Impulse Media. Hopefully, I can get the domain name, but either way I'll have my own business... and tax write-off a lot of the stuff I'd buy anyway.

4. Organize my music (the zillions of Mp3's), media archive (my back catalog of 100GB in previous projects and clipart), and finances (taxes, back statements, etc). So far, about 85% of the music is done, 20% of the media archive, and 90% of the finances are properly and completely organized.

5. Get into great physical shape. I am working a desk job. I'm 26. I'll turn into putty very quickly unless I do something about it, and that something is to play basketball. I'm training the entire summer - five days a week, no less - and will join a league in the fall.

Funny thing is, it's all completely realistic. We're almost out of debt right now. I'm reducing my work load to a 'mere' 40 hours a week at the end of school, and it'll be down to 20 at the end of June until I go full-time at webmastering (hopefully in August-September). I already obsessively organize stuff, so no sweat there. And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE just shooting a basketball. I can't wait until I can actually play decently enough to show my face in a league.
