I keep writing blog posts about things I need or things I should be doing. I don't know why. Maybe I feel like my life lacks direction right now. Maybe I feel like I'm stuck in a rut working my "9-5" job 5 days a week.
Anyway, the topic of today's brain dump is hobbies and goals. Moose said to me last night "I wish you had goals so that I knew if they coincided or clashed with mine." Now, he's talking about large overarching life/career type goals and I'm talking about smaller things, but regardless... My life has lacked a lot of focus since grad school. Grad school puts on the blinders and says "go forth and research." Real life gives you some time to pursue things, but not enough to pursue them fully.
Life goals: Work, get married, have children.... (Yeah I'm lame)
Longer-term goals: Buy a house, buy (and pay off) new car (so lame)
Short-term goals: Set up music area in basement, get rid of stuff in boxes, exercise more and eat better
Okay, so I'm cliche. Oh well, writing things down is a good start, right?
I need to pursue music more. I need to pursue art more. I need to get hobbies that at least somewhat coincide with my employment. Maybe its time to take up android development. Something that got me very excited the other day is the Meta Watch. Looking into something like that might be fun.
Oh well. I need to do SOMETHING. Maybe I should start with cleaning my house!
