February Goals.

Well, the plans are now underway in making my proposal a reality. Spent the majority of my shift organizing a new central Communications Hub, and now everything is in place for success, it's just now up to my team to follow through and continue this success. Go me!

Speaking of "Go me", me should go and do today's prompt (that was terrible, I know).

Day 29: What are your goals for the next 30 days.

 I actually have a number of goals I'd like to hit this coming month (and it's really going to be 28 days as it is February and I'm short a few days).

  1. I'd like to continue this writing challenge. I kinda like writing about a different topic every day. Some days it does feel a little tedious, a little boring, but there are other days where I actually enjoy myself. Some of these prompts really force me to think, not only about the content but how to get the right words out to share said content. Along with all the reading I've been doing, I feel that this is a step in the right direction to a future in writing, whatever that may be. So I will keep on writing (Tune in on the 31st of this month, where I post the next monthly challenge).
  2. Finish at least 3 books. I kinda went crazy this first month and plowed through 6 books, and while I am happy to be getting through my reading list (not to mention getting ahead of the pack), I need to make sure I am enjoying what I am reading as well as registering what I am reading. I can't just finish for finishing, I need to give myself time to make sure I understand and digest the words. I try very hard to not speed read to the point where I barely grasp the main plot, so I need to keep that all in mind as I read.
  3. I would like to go for a run. I have no clue what the weather will be like in February, but if it finally breaks above 55*F on a more regular basis, I'm going to make it a point to get out and go running again. I was doing a pretty good job of it in the fall, but then it got cold and not only do I not have the right cold weather running gear (can't afford it at the moment), but I really hate the cold and just do not want anything to do with it. So once it gets a tad bit warmer, to where you can maybe feel the warmth of the sun, I'll get back out there and run. My goal for the next few months (once I do start) is to be able to run 3 miles with no problem. Once we get to that, we can start pushing for longer distances, and maybe even a race?
  4. I want to update all of my movies lists. If you see I do have a partial list already on this site (partial in the sense that I haven't updated since I posted it) but I want to make them all current. That includes my handwritten list, my letterboxd account, and my flixchart account. It's a lot to keep track of, but I'd like to believe that if I'm caught up, I can be better organized in what I've watched.
  5. And speaking of movies, I'd like to finish at least one of my many filmmaking textbooks. Again I have no real desire at the moment to make movies, but rather write about them. I have a few pipe dreams in the works, but I don't want to let the universe know just yet, let me just work towards them.
Those are just five of my personal goals for next month, and I think they're attainable goals, with hard work and dedication, I should make them work.

As for my job, my main goal is to do damn good job and ensure that everything I planned out works to my advantage, if not, boy have I made a mess.

Well we've got 2 more days left of this month, let's enjoy them.

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...
