Throughout my life I had set a few goals for myself. Small dubious goals, but nonetheless goals that at a few times were my only incentive to stay alive.
Basically they were just small things that I wanted to accomplish before I die.
I wanted to live to see the 21st century. Mission accomplished there.
I wanted to get married and start a family. After a false start in 1998, I've been happily married since 2003, so I'm halfway there in that regard.
And another one of my little goals was reached a few days ago: to live to see the final story in George Lucas' Star Wars saga, "Revenge Of The Sith". (It kicks major ass, by the way.)
So now what?
Do I have anything left to live for?
Of course I do. Very much so. Don't get into a panic... I've never really been suicidal, and I'm far from that nowadays.
It helps to get new big projects started. My new comic strip, for instance. My recent move to a new apartment has sidelined development of the comic, but I do plan on jumping back on that once the dust settles. I'm busy with a few other websites as well.
I still want to get my own house. I'm hoping this new apartment I'm in is the last apartment I ever live in. And I hope to get a house within a year or two... those interest rates ain't gonna stay low forever.
And I very much want to raise a child. A nice loving family has always been my ultimate long-term goal in life.
I really need to get back in shape. I know how overweight I am, and I know I'm at risk of dying at an early age (and that would be the end of those above goals). I know about the usual advice - eat less, exercise more - but what's kicking my ass at the moment is the appetite (and cravings) I have, the lack of motivation, and the little health problems here and there that get in the way of exercising on a regular basis. Those are the things I have to overcome if I'm gonna stop hovering around 280 pounds as I have been for the past few years now.
I'd like to get some decent amount of fame for something before I die. If not for my comic strip, maybe for a song I wrote, an appearance on a TV show or in a movie, or something. Those goals seem to get lost in the shuffle of everyday life, though.
I guess I just need to get off my ass and do something, anything.
Let me just finish my cup of fat free yogurt first.
