Yeh, yeh 2009, hold your horses. I am back. I have arrived. Fashionably, or maybe not, late. 13 days into 2009 feels pretty good so far. For the first time in my life I was excited to go back to work. If that’s not a way to measure job satisfaction, I don’t know what is. And it’s not that my holidays were awful. They were great—except for when Curtis poisoned me with some mead, but that’s a story for another day when I feel like completely embarrassing myself.

Leif and Ian already put their 2009 goals that we wrote out together on New Years Eve. But I lost my list. Or it might be in my jacket. But frankly, I don’t want to share my goals for 2009 with the likes of my blog readers. Bunch of scandalous gossipers. The whole lot of you. But I will share a few of my goals for this blog.

1. Find and keep to a steady posting rhythm.
2. Become internet famous so that I can finally love myself the way you all love me already.
3. Increase the readership of this blog, organically.
4. More video posts.
5. Start a podcast. This is the biggest one. I find the medium of radio to be highly intriguing and I think there is a lot of room to maneuver and try a lot of different things. Plus, I can work with others. It’s not a completely solo adventure. Interested? Let me know.

According to Leif’s cousin Chris (any time I write “Chris” I always write “Christ” how weird is that?), you are 80% more likely to achieve your goals when you share them. So consider this me sharing. And if it comes to 2010 and I haven’t completed these goals I will personally blame you all for not holding me accountable. This isn’t a test of my personal strength, creativity and will. This is a test of your friendship. Time to step up to the plate.
