Manifesto 2009 beta

I am going to attempt to define a few goals for the next year or so.  But I must state a disclaimer.  I am not entirely in control of my life and the destiny that would fold out in front of me.  With any human male that is a member of the small institution of “family”, goals and plans and aspirations are depended on the daily whim of the domestic duty of “family”.  I find it irresponsible if not futile to plan my life extra curricularly outside the realm of my “family” duties. 
So, how to plan the second half of my life around that parameter?  Good question.  It can’t be very complex.  I must be flexible.  And (most important) it must be able to completely fail.  And like a Phoenix, rise again from the ashes of dashed dreams. 
With that established I only pick two goals for the next year. 

1.  I paid for a year of Adobe training from TotalTraining.com, so I figure I should go through all that training.
2.  Take banjo lessons. 

There ya go!  No other goals.  That’s it.  Keeping it simple is a good mantra I do believe.  I can’t plan for anything else … too many variables.  In fact I’m not even sure either of these two goals will happen.  But that’s ok.  Bliss happens .. or it doesn’t … I can live with either outcome. 
Squirrel!
