Mindful Resolve

Last night I was playing Diablo and awoke to what I was (not) doing. I was distracted from my chosen path - instead of working out or building up a resume, I was playing games. Video games are fun initially, but that fun gives way to an absence of experience. Add that to my addictive personality and I won't have time to invest in volunteer work or music. So I’ve stopped and I’m not going to play Diablo III when it comes out. Jamming and boarding will occupy my time. Fred getting a long board has made me more interested in getting one for myself (I was already intrigued by John Ock's passion and that of the long boarding Rasta kids of 06'-07').

I’m thinking of picking up a history minor so I can be qualified to be a Washington state park ranger. It will only take a few classes and I liked history back in high school. The physical test that rangers have to pass is anything but. jump fifteen inches? please. If I fail in my quest to work for Mike Stoner I’ll try to get a job as a park aid next summer, but its too late to get one for this summer.

Nearly completed is a letter I was writing to Anna, but I’ve neglected to finish it and now most of it is obsolete. I feel rude and should write to her within the next week.

I don't want to make to do/goals list, but I need the motivation. Here it is: start working out again, eat better, cook more, write Anna, contact Marko Liias, read, paint some houses.
