Lazy

Yeah, that's me. I've always got grand plans for self-improvement and "cool" projects I can embark on, but following through is always such a drag. The following is a list of things I have on the front and back burners:

Progress:
  • Learning to play guitar - Just trying to re-build my calluses so I can practice for more than 30 minutes without finger pain. Making some progress on "Gimme one reason" by Tracy Chapman, and of course the good ol' "House of the Rising Sun". I will attempt to progress a little before taking some real lessons.
  • Riding a Motorcycle - Last weekend was a blast, this coming Saturday I will get my permit when I pass the course. One of my co-workers has a cousin who's selling his Kawasaki Ninja, which I will be getting.
  • Reading more - I finished Proficient Motorcycling this weekend, and on Tuesday I put down Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms. Currently reading The Lady Tasting Tea and The Clash of Civilizations.
No Progress:
  • Exercise; get bigger/stronger - I haven't been to the gym in a month, this is very sad. However, I am trying to run at least twice a week, and my last weekend's
  • Consistently break 100 in golf - I haven't played a round of golf since October, and this isn't going to change anytime soon.
  • Travel - Well, that's TBD. I'll do the Frisco and San Diego thing when time permits.
  • Photography - I got to get out a bit more, this will go hand-in-hand with the travel. I've got to watch my expenses, but next on my purchase list is a nice tripod and a flash. I have yet to make any prints recently, and I will have to do that and put them up in some nice frames as well.
  • Art - Music first, then art.
  • Girls - I guess this is "supposed" to be the central activity around which everything else in my life rotates, but I haven't had much time yet to go out and chase girls either. Now that is sad.
