November 21, 2011 Beer and other goals
It’s into the second half of November and I still haven’t written blog posts for the new beers I tried in September and October. At this point I probably would only be able to say, “I liked,” or “I didn’t like,” in regards to these brews. This is a shame, because I really gave it the old college try during both months.
I think this goes to an overall flaw with my annual goal list. Like Lt. Telsij said in return of the Jedi “there’s too many of them!”* It’s difficult enough to complete 31 goals in one year, but more so to pick out 32 goals for the next one. I can plan to make a grand needle-felting project, but who says I won’t be into crocheting by next spring? I just don’t know what the next year is going to hold, so to commit myself to a list is just increasingly unrealistic.
By the time my birthday came around in October I was pretty bummed that the goal was so sparsely successful. I didn’t cook all those Jamie Oliver recipes or smoke those cigars. The backyard still doesn’t have a fence and my “office” is an empty room right now.
But that’s okay. Heading into 2012 I don’t need the office that I thought I did in 2010. In fact, my new vision is more of a craft room for Melissa and I. I have some great ideas (and hers aren’t so bad either).
So instead, I’m just going to make a few New Year’s goals this year. Probably some classics like lose weight and learn French. Of course German is pretty cool too. Creatively, I’m not going to stress myself out with deadlines because then it ceases to be fun. If I want to, I’m just going to make things. Today, I’m going to paint some of these. And it will be fun.
Here’s a quick little graphic about the beers I drank just to complete that goal for the year:
*I knew the line, I had to look up the character’s name though (thanks to this blog for knowing the answer). My nerd-dom knows some limits.
