This last year I have spent a lot of time talking about how I need a change. Moving to Portland was supposed to be that change, but alas it only served to move my pathetic laziness from one state to another. And I’ve complained about it ad nausuem.
Over the last two weeks I’ve been working on a plan to work on a plan. I know that makes no sense to the blogosphere but it makes sense to me and that’s what matters. So over the course of the next year, things are going to look a little different around here. Mostly by becoming my sounding board and a place for me to lay out my plans and chronical my journey.
Because moving forward is imperative to me. This constant stagnation is giving me hemorrhoids…

I’m well and good entrenched in my 30’s. Not that I wasn’t before. But today, well today marks the first day on the downhill side into my 40’s. I’m not particularly worried or depressed. At least not any more than usual. Birthday’s don’t bother me anymore. They come whether you want them to or not, so why get all worked up?
I have been thinking though. Thinking about the last six years. And how much I’ve grown and changed in that period of time. I started my 30’s with very little direction or purpose. Now I’ve worked my way into what most people would call a great job and what I call good security. I’ve got a wonderful kid who 99.9% of the time causes no trouble. I have a loving family despite their annoyances on my personage. And more importantly, I feel like I know what I want from this life. Even if I don’t know how to get there.
So these next four years are going to be about finding a way to get from A to B and not only have direction and purpose, but inner peace and happiness as well.
