Summer ’09 To-Do List: Week 2

Two weeks have now gone by since I posted my Summer ‘09 To-Do List. Time for a progress report!

Currently Pursuing:
7. wake up so early that I can run with impunity
11. get in good enough shape to fuck with impunity
33. keep my pubes shaven
35. run a weekly blog update about this list
37. don’t be lazy
38. don’t be gross
64. expand the Shufflingdead empire

Most of these haven’t changed from last week. For some of them I feel like progress is being made, and for others progress has stalled. #64 continues as I work on the site’s Twitter, deviantArt, and YouTube pages, and I’ll probably be able to cross it off sometime soon. #7 is a much bigger struggle, I just gravitate towards staying up all night, reversing that is proving pretty tough.

The new additions are #37 and #38. Not being lazy is going to be absurdly difficult, it’s pretty much my modus operandi, and in recent weeks it’s actually gotten worse. I’m not entirely sure what an end to laziness even entails, probably pursuing more things from the list.

The thing about being lazy is that at least people can readily identify it. If you ask someone on the street what a gross person is, they might give you an example of a celebrity that terrifies them, “Jeffrey Jones is gross,” but they probably couldn’t give you a definition. So how do I not be gross? Have more showers? Not be perverted? Be perverted but not talk about it? For me, #38 is really a sister goal of #37 and may actually be achieved simultaneously. Not being gross, for me, is not being utterly lethargic.

Goals Completed this week:
72. transplant and trim my bonsai

3% done. That’s something, I guess, but my pace has slowed (last week I completed two items). Hopefully I’ll be able to win lottery this week, and then I’ll really start knocking down some goals.
