Hi folks, I hope you will exempt my
slackness on the blogosphere. I’ve been gnawing
over a decision I must make within a week. I can’t go into detail, but let’s just say it will affect my whole
family. And no, I’m not shooting you a
line of bull. Life’s too short for such
nonsense.

I’m still working on the short story that
I’ve been telling you about, but I’m not finished with it yet. My boss changed my schedule at work, so I’ve
had to work more, and I’m working in the evenings, which has messed up my whole
writing schedule. I had previously
planned on writing a short story everyday, but I cannot do it, at present. When I go back to school, and I start
receiving some descent hours at work, my writing will improve.

The decision I’m grappling with, will most
definitely change my entire life. Sometimes
we (Human Beings) have to do things that we don’t want to do, to get to where
we want to go. It’s far better to do
what you fear, than it is to sit back, when you are old and feeble, and wonder
what might have been, and never was.  Or
what would have changed, if we were to have made a different decision, at a
certain point in our lives.

Life is so…so…finite people. Live life to the fullest and dream every
dream, like today is your last day. Oh, if
I could only go back and knock some sense into my former self, I would.

The New Year is about fresh starts and beginnings,
so I implore each of you to change something in your lives for the better, and
stick with it. Getting ahead in life is
about determination and who is the most stubborn. Seriously,
mould your life, the way you would shape a clay pot, in the way that you
want. Life is boundless, if you believe
in yourself, and your ambitions.

Here
is my list of things I hope to accomplish in 2007, although some may change, if
I make the decision that I may make.

1. Find a woman to put up with me for more than a week at a time. (LOL)
2. Change my major to English Literature.
3. Study in the UK,
   Ireland, or anywhere in Europe. (Yes, I still want to do this, as I’ve stated several times.)    
4. Find a descent job, deserving of my attention. (I’m not vain people, but I would appreciate a job that I merit.)
5. Spend a month or two in Ireland or the UK, either studying or on holiday.  
6. Have more time to write.
7. Finish a book, either an inspiration book, containing the life story of me, or the Scottish tale that I’ve been working on for a while.
8. Be afforded a chance to show my worth. That is all that I’ve ever asked for!
9. Write more poetry, but I’ve got to be in the romantic mood for that. (1.)
10. Let the past, stay in the past. No, I take that back, or at least partially take it back. My history is what keeps me motivated and constantly pushing forward, so I should never forget it, even if I could. I let way too many people run over me, so perhaps I need to let out some of that temper. (That’s a dangerous idea!)
11. Have more of the good times, and less of the bad.
12. Make the people that have scoffed at me, look like the fools that they are.
13. Take better care of myself.
14. Have a brilliant 2007!

This list is just a preliminary list that I
thought up in a few moments of clarity.

Hi all, I know I promised you a new love story tonight, but it is so good that I want my Scottish history to be correct.  In fact, I’m doing some research for this long-short medieval-romance story.  So, to make up for my slackness, I’m going to tell you in the next post, how Christmas went.    I’ll get to that Thursday, if I can scrape up enough energy.  Have a great week all….
