I normally don't make New Year's resolutions. I find them too abstract to follow through on, as in, if I make a resolution for an entire year, how do I find the motivation to start? I prefer my actions to be focused on right now; what can I do right now to get to where I want to be? More like a purpose for doing something, anything.
However, while talking to my two favorite World Travelers this past New Year's Eve in Cairns (post and pics forthcoming), I got suckered into making a "goal" for 2011. What is something each of us would do that would be an accomplishment and something to hang our hat on forever? It was encouraged to be as outlandish as possible, nothing routine or everyday.
After hearing some really good ideas for what my friends were planning to do, I just pulled something completely out of the blue (READ: my ass). It's been something I have dabbled in previously, but to my previous point of never following through on anything, I decided this would be the year I did something about it.
My goal for 2011: play the bass in a band, in some kind of official performance, somewhere. A gig, if you will. Should be interesting as I haven't touched my guitar in six months.
Updates on this to come.
Yay! Please, send us the flyer beforehand so we can come see it with our own eyes.
ReplyDeleteI did not see that ending coming.
ReplyDeleteWhen Bascor reunites and records our comeback album, we might need some session musicians. I'll give you a heads up.
