A few days ago, I came across the 1-, 5-, and 10-year plans I had written about two years ago.

It's absolutely amazing how much your life can change in just a few months. The people, the goals, the achievements, all of them have changed, I've accomplished a slew of short-term goals, but so many of my long-term goals were dependent upon other people around me that I'm almost shocked at how few of them I can accomplish without those people in my life. Most of the plans simply require alteration, but I can't help but feel less committed to them as I had hoped to share particular things with particular people; other things seem new and refreshed without the presence of outside influences there. It was such an overwhelming task to write these things all out the first time around but I'm considering writing them over again with my own, personal future in mind. As friends and family leave, move out of, or change around me or my life and new people enter, adjustments can be made to the plan to accommodate, but this plan should focus on what I want my life to be.

It sucks putting it all in writing. There's a pretty high probability that you'll fail at most things, but that little sliver of hope that you'll succeed at one or two will [hopefully] make up for that. Guess I'll find out.


In other news, I had an overnight layover in DC and went to see that 'rents new digs in Vienna, VA. It still amazes me the amount of money that is put into building development and extraordinary building design for projects as simple as condos to bank buildings to the retaining wall around the Ernst & Young building [really nice stone wall... not cheap]. This, in addition to many other reasons, is why I dislike Florida. Images coming soon. Blame the dead battery.
