An Attempt At Relevance

I’m back to being a “blogger” again.  My initial attempt (edibleuntilroper.blogspot.com), while fun, was ultimately doomed by my inability to write creative posts and of course my intense laziness.  This brings me to my initial reason to create this blog.

 Lent

I’ve decided to do something for Lent this year.  I generally don’t and I think it’s because I expect to fail if I do.  Well, I started out extremely optimistic about 2008 and even though there were a couple early setbacks I still have an overall good feeling about things to come.  So in keeping with my cautious optimism, I decided that it was time to give it a shot. 

Since this is my first Lenten offering in some time, I’ve decided to make it a big one.  I’m giving up laziness.  I’m done wanting to do things and I’m going to start doing them.  And while Lent is roughly 6 weeks, I’m hoping that this can start a good trend for the rest of the year and my life.  

To be more specific, I’ve pinpointed 3 goals for the next 40 days.  I’m going to blog each and every day.  Notice I didn’t require it to be a quality post but I will say something.  Next, I’m going to exercise at minimum 30 minutes per day (preferably an hour).  Again, no restrictions on the type of exercise just that I do something active.  Finally, I’m going to write a song.  It probably won’t be good (in fact, I can almost guarantee it won’t) but I always think about doing it and now I’m going to actually work at it and have a finished product soon (and if I’m not too embarrassed by it I might post it here later).

 So there you have it.  I’m on the blog bandwagon again and I’m ready for the ride.
