30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 29 - My Goals For The Next 30 Days

The Penultimate Day of this 30 Day Writing Challenge (That would make it the 29th Day.)
Day 29 - "What are your goals for the next 30 days?"



After the last soon to be 30 days, I'm going to start by slowing down on this writing business.  I like to take my time and well research my rants and ravings before I plow ahead.

In no absolute order, here are my plans:
 
  • To start writing a new novel or short story.  I may even go as far as finish enough of something to self publish (something I have been toying with the last year or so) through Xlibris.com.
  • Attend some baseball.  I was at a Phillies-Mets game today (8/11).  Phils lost...again.  I have tickets for the 19th and 23rd.  Hopefully, I will have someone to attend with me.  My gal is working and unavailable both days.
  • Consider formulating a plan to lose some weight.  I said "consider" and "formulate" which is Tom talk for "deeply thinking about losing weight but not having the intestinal fortitude to follow through".  I have been on this gain-lose weight rollercoaster for a very long time.  My endocrinologist wants me to lose some weight (like 25 pounds).  I think I'd like to win the lottery and live out my days on a sunny, Pacific Ocean island with semi-clad island women answering my every needs.  I don't think either one of us is apt to get what we want or wish for.

My harem...more like my scare 'em.
  • Play more guitar.  Not just because I enjoy it, but because it drives my cat crazy.  It's my little way of getting even for the 5 a.m. wake up Meows.
  • To go along with #4, try to write some new songs.  I haven't done much song writing in several years.  I haven't really had much to say.  I used to use my songs to express my opinions and feelings, but now I have BLOG!!!
  • Prepare for my October Mexican vacation.  It may take me a good 30 plus days to get it together.  Say Mexi-Can, not Mexican't.
  • Lastly, to go along with #1, continue to thrill and entertain my (hopefully) ever growing public of blog readers with more fantastical, humorous and bizarre blog subjects.
One more Day (One Day More), Day 30 - "This Month's Highs And Lows"

How The New Mexican Government And Prison System Failed Its People

Anyone who knows me knows I like mystery and crime stories, especially true crime. So, I am a huge fan and viewer of the Investigation Discovery network. I view many programs and have my favorites. One show I recently stumbled upon was "Surviving Evil" hosted by the stunning actress, Charisma Carpenter , who herself a crime survivor. She and two friends suffered at the hands of a violent serial rapist and police officer Henry Hubbard, Jr. on San Diego's Torrey Pines State Beach in 1991. I don't want to go on about her, her surviving her attack or even the ID program, which airs Thursdays at 9 pm and re-airs throughout the week and is available On Demand. Well, actually, I do want to speak about one episode from the current season (the 3rd season), but not the show as much as how the law failed to truly punish the perpetrator of this crime. The show titled "Escaping The Arroyo" interviews the one surviving victim and tells the horrific story about two whi...

My First Blog

Unless I'm already mentally or emotionally stirred up I find it difficult to start anything.  Be it a rant, a conversation or a writing.  I'm sure if I don't get bored or disillusioned I will have something interesting or controversial to say.  I might even drop an occasional F bomb.   As this is my first outing, I will insert many random thoughts that clearly will lack continuity or proper linkage.  I will sound like a mental patient or someone suffering from Alzheimer's.  For instance, tomorrow is my birthday.  I turn 55.  Who cares, right?  Why are we so self-absorbed with ourselves?  I know from my POV I want to rule the world, be famous and shag any girl I desire.  I also know, as I'm sure you do too, that that's just not going to happen...ever.  But without these little dreams/daydreams I'd find it more difficult to crawl out of bed most mornings.   Random thought #2:  How do people quote lines by fa...

Coronavirus, Part 19 - Vaccines

 It's almost Christmas. Possibly, some of us, will be able to receive a vaccine to protect, to some extent, from the Coronavirus. The medical community and the government believe that the vaccines will only be effective if at least 70-80% of the population receives it. As supply will not meet the criteria to accomplish this feat until Summer 2021, it's going to be a long winter and spring. However, people have demonstrated a reluctance in taking the "shot."  I have been vaccinated for everything you can be vaccinated for since childhood. And that was a very long time ago. I have received the flu vaccine for 20 years. And I have never been sick or got the flu. Knock on wood. I received every childhood vaccine to prevent childhood diseases. Recently, I took my first of two shots to protect me from Shingles, the adult version of Chicken Pox, which I had an extremely mild case as a child. I will receive my second shot in about two weeks. Happy Christmas to me! The questio...
