AH A NEW YEAR IS COMING!

The New Year is starting in a few days, and I still haven't finished typing up my movie list.
The goal (ah there is always a goal) is to write up at least one movie review a week, which would be 52 reviews in the year. Then add a review for every movie I watch (preferably for every new movie I watch, but I guess I can lop in rewatches as well).
Then there is the goal to get my fat ass back into the gym a couple of days a week to get back to where I was about seven months ago.
Then there is also the goal to write daily.
Add in a part time job that has me clocking an average of 24-32 hours a week. Which I have never before been happier to do. I seriously love where I work and with the people I work (more on that in the future).
And add being a full-time student (1.5 semesters left!!! The what?)
So regarding long-term projects, I have my work cut out for me no?
Oh, and let's add in at least one camping trip in the year. Why not? But preferably in the spring, when it's not so cold. (Shit that's going to be closer in the year that I just realized. Damn it. Oh well).
Let's see what else? Oh how about I keep up with my bullet journal that I have cobbled together. It's not as fancy and cute as the ones I've seen online, but it will do. I'm keeping daily/weekly/monthly track of my life, it's keeping me better organized, and I'm still feeling overwhelmed? Well overwhelmed in the sense that I know what needs to be done, I just want to be able to do it all now rather than wait until then to do it. I think that makes sense?
But yeah, at least my new year's resolutions (this is that I'm doing right? We've decided on that?) are going to be easy, and I might keep them up? Go Gabs.
So the organization, writing, watching, working, and living. I think this might work.
It's December 30th, 2016, here's hoping that on December 30th, 2017, I'm still doing this. 
Gah, I love setting myself for failure. LET'S GO!

Oh here is one more thing, should I push myself to write at least 500 words a post? A writing session? It's not NANOWRIMO; I'm not writing a book here, just trying to get into the habit of putting my thoughts down on paper...on a blog? Into the ether? Out there? In the blogosphere? What do we call this? I'm just trying to get into the habit of making sense of my thoughts, yeah let's go with that.
I want to be Alexander Hamilton, writing like I'm running out of time like it's going out of style. Thanks, Lin-Manuel Miranda, your musical is giving me that push I need for 2017, which is interesting because 2016 was the year to become obsessed with it, guess that means 2017 is the year we put our obsession or at least the lessons we have learned from it into practice? We'll see how that goes.
YOU HAVE YOUR ORDERS NOW GO MAN GO!

STARTING...AGAIN?

Start. Stop. Start. Stop. Start. Stop. It seems to be a constant trend no? And it’s not like I don’t have the time to update this and actually keep track of… well everything. A routine is what I need, but how do I hold on to a routine when work doesn’t allow me to? Meaning that my schedule varies week to week, and I’ve just started school again (yay?), and I need to start getting my butt into the gym again. Ok. So that’s what I’ll do. I will set a routine, or attempt to. I will sit down either at this laptop or my phone and just write. Doesn’t matter what I write, as long as I put letters together to make words, to then makes sentences, to then make paragraphs, etc etc. Start. Stop. Start. Stop. Let’s leave this on a Start

Be a Super.

I'm gonna be honest. I really don't feel like doing this today. I physically do not feel good, and there's a bunch of stuff currently going on behind the scenes that I just don't want to discuss in a public space. It might be like this for a while, so these posts are probably going to be short for a bit. Sorry. Day 2: A person you admire. I think I covered something similar last month, and I think I said something along the lines that people can always let you down so try not to put much hope in other people. And considering how the mighty have fallen all over, its hard to have heroes. So I'm going to go with the fictional kind. I've been reading a lot of old Wonder Woman Comics, and the more I read, and the more I move away from the movie representation (which I love btw), the more I look to a fictional character for strength. And this isn't the first time I do this. It's very easy for me to look to fictional characters for inspiration and str...

Which definition?

Day 27: Conversely, write about something that's kicking ass right now.  This feels like an AP English assignment, that is if I'm understanding the use of the word "Conversely". Most white allies would rather not use their privilege for anything other than making a small statement, although conversely some white allies will be kick ass like Jessica Chastain and use her position of power to make sure her costar Octavia Spencer be paid the same as she, using her white privilege for good. That is the standard definition and use of "Conversely" that I am aware of. Or do they mean "conversationally"? In that case: Did you guy hear how Jessica Chastain is totally kicking ass right now? From what I read online, she saw that her friend and co-star Octavia Spencer was getting the same amount of pay that she was getting for the same project. So instead of just stating her objection like most white allies, she actually did something about it. She to...
