With yesterday being the last day of school, this is officially the first day of summer and I have a slew of home projects (daddy-do list) to attend to. Lets ignore for a minute the utter revocation of my man card at the site of my pinterest board and obvious submission to the creation of a daddy-do list and stick to the beauty of creation. I get to plan and organize a garage and an initial bills and storage area and a downstairs closet and a pantry and, well, there is the matter of the boysroom superbed (3d rendering is underway).
I enjoy these projects and really enjoy building and organizing. I wonder if I will actually enjoy being done with the work as much as I enjoy preparing to do it?
Some Thoughts:
- Part of being a good friend is staying in contact. I’m going to get better at that. Really.
- Part of being a good writer is establishing goals and working on your craft every day. I’m going to get better at that, and I mean more than the 10 minutes kind of better.
- Part of self actualization is setting goals and visions for who you can be and who you want to be as an individual in all aspects of your life. It comes down to focusing on the things that you can control, which are attitude and effort. Nothing else is entirely in your control, so those two must be allotted at a level fit to your desire to succeed less you will not succeed.
- Gilmore Girls is really good. I feel like there are a number of series that happened over the years that I need to tackle to have a more completely understanding of generations of people. Dr. Who is next followed by the British version of Sherlock Holmes.
- After that I’m going to research anything and everything produced by Jennifer Lence. She seems to live at the epicenter of cultural phenomena. A lot of her work is translated from foreign shows especially spanish language shows, which brings me to 1843, which was the birth year of uber influential spanish realist Benito Perez Galdos who helped keep Spain on the map throughout the 19th century, eventual turning his literary eye to the stage. He’s had major works adapted to the big screen over the year and is in part responsible for the mass market acceptance of some of the works that Lence has brought over from Spanish-speaking nations such as The Mysteries of Laura. Oh, she does Flash, Arrow, and the rest of those upcoming shows (Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow) too.
