Its good to have goals

So far, this blog is going at about the same pace as my John Rook life-rehab project — hardly moving.

It is difficult when you have a job and you feel sapped of energy everyday at 5 p.m. It is also hard to know exactly how to begin. What is that first paragraph of the book of the rest of your life suppose to say?

I guess, in my case, it is the constant desire to have desire. Actually, I should correct that: I have desire, I just don't have motivation. My desire stays bottled up, ready to burst out, but never seemingly finding the right crease from which to begin the escape.

I have to get something moving now, though, right? Okay, my set goal is for June 18. That's a Friday. The goal: lose 15 pounds (daunting, yes, but doeable), go on at least one date with someone, and write at least three columns/short stories to be sent out. I have more than a month to accomplish these tasks. That should be enough time, right?
