you know what i haven't had in a long time... big league chew.
1. establish/earn position in a band that has intention of doing something
2. record music with a band that has intention of doing something
3. see many concerts (Five Iron Frenzy as much as possible!)
4. get lots of cds
5. maybe... MAYBE get a car and start driving
6. think of better goals
so i took a look back at my year's goals that i decided for myself way back in March. seeing as there are only about 22 more days left in the year, i figured now's a good time to reflect. whether or not the goals were accomplished, i do feel like i'm emerging the victor, although it actually feels more like this year was just all buildup with no climactic ending. kinda like the matrix. and star wars.
anyways, i've made friends with people that hold similar aspirations to mine when it comes to musicianship, and i got me a fancy digital recording thingamajig. i've also been writing my own songs and stuff, so that's like half an accomplishment. i got to see Five Iron 3 times this year, which i'm perfectly happy with. my cd collection hasn't really increased in size very much, but i can say that the quality of it is better than ever. i have a car AND a driver's lisence. i never got around to thinking of better goals. i guess technically, i only completed like 60% of my goals, but when you aim high like that, you can't expect everything. i know i'm not fretting over it! actually, it's probably high time i figure out what i wanna do next year. we'll save that for another post though.
until next time...
