Hello there.
Make yourself comfortable, and thanks for visiting. As you can see, I’m moving onto a new place. I have to admit, I miss the old place already, but I can tell lots of good memories will be made here as well.
For those of you wondering what I’m up to, mostly it’s being sick. As in feverish with a headache and sinus congestion. So I promise to be writing better posts in the future, but for now, I’m just struggling to breath. (by the way, I cannot tell the difference between breath and breathe and cloth and clothes when I’m writing. It’s a fundamental deficiency in my brain.)
Things continue to be excellent and scary at the same time. I suppose it will be this way for a while. At the same time, I have a mentor here who very clearly believes in deciding what it is you want, mapping it out. So I’ll do that right now, for 2009.
I want to sell two screenplays. I won’t say the amounts I want to sell them for, but I have those numbers in my head, too. I want to launch at least more successful iphone apps. I want to be able to buy something here in California as well as some nice land back on the east coast. I want to continue to build amazing memories with Darby and the kids, and have great visits here and back home with great family and friends.
That’s a pretty good 2009, right? Now realistic me says I’d be happy to pay the rent and stay healthy. But hey, we’re mapping stuff out here, ok?
What do you want for 2009?
I have the same unfortunate deficiency when it comes tot he words “effect” and “affect.”
No matter how many times they get explained to me, I simply cannot remember why they are different or their respective uses.
And awesome site! And goals!
My goals for 2009–get an agent. have a good amount of money saved when I leave this job AND have another job lined up. Make an album, or at the very least a fierce demo. That’s all I can think of for now…;-)
and ooh, there’s one thing about this new blog that I like better already–it doesn’t take the entire lifespan of a honey bee to post a comment!!!
Yes, I have a real weakness too when it comes to affect and effect. And lie and lay. But breath, breathe, cloth, and clothes are just written problems, I know the difference when it comes to speaking them.
One of the reasons I moved was the comments. This one is much zippier.
Okay, it’s 3:21 a.m. (here in DE), as I begin to write this. Since I am finally feeling the need for sleep, I am going to bed. I just had to check out your new place first, though. For now, since it is beginning to hurt to think, I just wanted to post a brief comment so I could see for myself how much “zippier” it is!
Very zippy!! It will be so much easier for Bruce! ;-]
Welcome to your new home! Can’t write now….have a mini-conference & a wedding I’m doing, but I’m glad you’re here altho’ I too will miss the old place!
I know the difference in all words. Its, it’s – i know it. bet you guys dont
my plans for 2009-
start seriously writing again.

Josh–are you really going to learn how to ballroom dance? Why not just start going to circus school with me?
You guys have some awesome goals for 2009. 2009 should be quite exciting!
Jason, I am bowled over by your writings! I am enjoying the read! Loved Darby’s upside down hang, cute. Was happy to know I am not the only person who can’t get effect and affect clear in my mind…at age……doubt it will ever happen.
