"Your Voice Is the Splinter Inside Me"

Saturday, July 20, 2024

In the waning hours of a Friday night, I applied stylistic changes to this site—a rem here, a text-align there, none of it actually improves means anything. Perhaps the only part of design that matters is to just get out of the way of the message. How often do we waste our time!

I ressurected my New Year's Resolutions, but repurposed the page as Goals. Goals matter; they ought to be directly considered and not approached like life in an intertube on the Spring River.

I have discarded the Mid Year's Resolutions because it never reached critical mass due to the lack of fanfare that a new year provides.

I took down my 2024 resolutions because I forecasted that I wasn't going to hit my moonshots. Moonshots! I don't have just one, but THREE. I wield magic, but c'mon, like what was once said for the imaginatively brilliant mark, I do these things "not because they are easy, but because they are hard."

So, I'm bringing everything back. Things haven't changed; I'm still on my diet streak...still slimming down...still dropping weight to run. I just need to pick up the weights and crank these arms and delts to at least launch the rocket in the right direction!

There are a couple of new sections as well as I want to hammer out things for 2025 and what I want to grab for the rest of my life. That sort of thing needs intense mindmapping to lay some serious mental firepower down. But, it is critical to look ahead and begin journeying toward those objectives.

Too often, the day-to-day blinds us—I know it does me; before I know it, 2018 turns to 2025. Nevertheless, there's a voice inside of me. As it has been sung over and over again, "There is a light that never goes out."
