Update June 23, 2022: I have played through Dragon Warriors 1 and 2 at this point.
Oh, what to say about 2010, other than every time I hear I’m reminded of the Bad Religion song 10 in 2010. I was going to say something about having 10 years under my belt in Colorado I’d be looking for new goals, but then I realized the phrase “under my belt” is kind of weird. It’s not like it’s a place that accumulates stuff, nor is it the final resting place for much other than pants, and even then, the actual suspension of legwear is ephemeral at best. Certainly, the phrase doesn’t intend juvenile and lewd connotations of the body parts under the belt, so what in the name of Dick Trickle does it mean? If I was to say “I’ve got a lot of experience under my belt” should I be getting high fives from random guys?
But I digress.
To quote Jason Kidd, one goal in 2010 is to turn things around 360 degrees. When I first got to Boulder, there was an endless array of interests and somehow I always found time to indulge in most of them. And that was before I was doing much snowboarding in the winter. Certainly, a lot of my goals are activity-based: start wrapping up those state highpoints, get in some technical snow and ice climbs, get back into rock climbing, and get ready for Denali in 2011. But also: get back on the guitar and PRACTICE!, play through Dragon Warriors 1-4 again, read two authors that are new to me by April, and keep the second book rolling. Finding the time isn’t really the challenge, I mean talk about an inane expression– time is something most of us have an abundance of. Allocating my personal efforts within the time when I am not obligated to other endeavors, now that’s the rub (all apologies to Hamlet).
Sure, I talk a good game (those Dragon Warrior games take a LOT of level building) but I tend to be able to back it up to some degree. So let’s get cracking in 2010, shall we? Let’s look to the future!!
