First off, I have to let ya'all know that I'm fairly excited about this great book finally getting turned into a (hopefully) great movie. Woo! This book (and author) still remains one of my favorites, and has definitely enriched my sense of humor, style, and even given me an added edge when recognizing the absurdness that is life.

Hell, I named my frickin JournalScape journal after it. :)

Now, I have been contemplating some things this morning. I am not yet sure, but I feel on the verge of having at least a couple of epiphanies by lunch. First was a logic puzzle from Kenny's journal. As soon as I saw it I whipped out my notepad and started on it. I finished it fairly quickly, then sat back and felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. Wow do I miss doing things like that. For a little while already I have contemplated going back to school, if only just a notion and longing for the change of environment. I haven't gone full speed ahead with the idea of going back to school because it is a large, expensive commitment and with not knowing exactly for sure what line of study I would do. I switched majors half way through undergrad, so still feel like I didn't get the most out of either subject, and honestly didn't have enough time to.

Maybe it is not the environment that I crave. I think it is more of a craving for accomplishment and to encounter things challenging. The puzzle made me think, problem solve, lay it all out. Though I have to problemsolve to a degree, so much of my work problem solving seems fruitless, LARP problem solving seems too imaginary, and life problem solving too mundane. The creative side of my head is restless, and the rest of my head has felt starved.

I'm already doing something to help with that, maybe I need to just kick it up a notch. I'm on my fourth finance book already this year, and am teaching myself about business. I'm still determined to start working on my art, whatever medium, and JUST DO IT regularly, consistantly. I have bought many books over the past few years and recently have had a real eagerness to plow through them.

Having a productive job would help a whole lot too.

But, I think I have some good goals, even though they are long term. I think of I state them here, for all too see, I will have it documented and will have to live up to it, right?

Okay, here it goes. *deep breath*

The only debt I will have after 3 years will be a student loan. The only exception to this would be if I also have a mortgage by then.

By the time I am 30, I will be ready to launch my own business and not be in a stressful job.

By the time I am 40, I want to have a net worth of a million dollars.

Aggressive? You betcha!

BTW Kenny, thanks for the logic puzzle.
