Tomorrow is another birthday, my one year blog anniversary.
A year ago tonight I blogged…
“Statistically I have 25 years to live ( more or less). So what do I do with those 25 years?”
Then the next day I posted…
… I earlier decided to consciously focus on 3 parts of my life and if I don't set actual goals at least try to track my progress as I pursue these interest.
1. Practice Aikido
2. Make a 2D computer animation short
3. Learn Spanish with Spanish Language software
Ok, the animation has pretty much stopped and may be usurped by my new motorcycle obsession. I still have not given up on Spanish, but strangely after getting back from Spain where I loved any opportunity to speak a little Spanish (“Café con leche por favor”) I have not studied once.
Aikido, I’m still at and still plan to keep at, with a Zen like acceptance of my own ineptitude. If I say it that way incompetence has a much better spin.
So, where do I stand? I am keeping to my crude statistic of dying at 75, which I will gladly ignore if I turn 76+.
Even though I know it means nothing, the pressure is on. What to do with the remaining 24 years? I’ll ponder it a bit more and post any results I discover.
By the way, I’m in Bellevue, WA tonight and DAMN this is a beautiful place. Trees and hills, here they are as common as dirt.
The picture doesn’t show the mountains but it has some trees that are more impressive in person. This was the view as I went into a shopping mall to get to a Starbucks.
