I have been a really bad blogger, and what’s worse is that I have been an even worse writer.  In the past three months I have barely written anything worth reading on this blog and even my forum posts have gone from being poetical and sweet to being short and snide.  I could contribute it to a lot of things, but the fact is I have been writing less and what I do write is sub-par.

I’ve kind of been in a creative rut, I haven’t been reading books and until recently podcast’s have been out too.

I have three major goals…

1. To be a better writer
• That doesn’t mean write more, necessarily, it means that I need to start writing things that people might be interested in reading.
• Everything that I write needs to be better than the last so it is an upward line on a graph charting my progress.
2. To own lots of property
• Not just stuff, but land, land with houses that people pay me for.  If my options are go to work and make money or stay home and make money… we’ll you can guess which options I’ll take.
3. Increase knowledge
• I think I might have just thrown this one in to get to three, I might not really have three goals.  But you get the idea.

The current assignment is three thousand words on the topic of the Arab/Israeli conflict.  That’s more than I have written on any topic since high school, if ever. 

To that end I need to start smartening up again with documentaries and books and hopefully podcast’s.  It’s time for me to start writing about things besides yo-yo’s and technology.  I just got out of class, so I am full of words right now, but if you keep checking back you’ll know how it’s going.
