Staying on Track

I've been jamming in a lot this Holiday break and doing my best to meet the goals I set for myself. But unfortunately, I haven't been too successful. I managed to complete 4 of my goals, so I'm happy about that.

Here are the goals I've accomplished:

1). I finished reading the Stephen King book entitled 11/22/63. It’s about a man that travels back in time to stop JFK’s assassination. This was a great read! It isn't a book about the Kennedy assassination, about bad guys or monsters, or even about time-travel. It's a book about if you could change the past, would you? And, perhaps more importantly -- should you? Choices, the paths we take and the ones we miss. If you know someone who doesn't read King because they don't like all the scary stuff, try giving them this, and I can almost guarantee they will love it.

2)My Mom, sister, and I ended up seeing Les Miserables and Lincoln in the theater. I liked it a lot. I was caught off guard that it was 3 hours of singing, and no dialogue at all.
Lincoln I really loved. Wow, what an incredible film. The casting director did an excellent job choosing the leading actor. His portrayal of Lincoln was perfect right down to the way he looked, talked, and moved. I liked seeing Sally Field playing Mary Todd Lincoln, she's a great actress. I loved her in Forest Gump and all the other films she's been in.

3)Registration for classes is complete. Got all my classes so I'm happy about that.

4)Hanging out with friends and family suffered a bit. I went to another LGBTQ get together with my friends from college which was fun. We ended up going to an under 21 dance club - most of the music sucked (I hate techno and dance music), but the night was a lot of fun. Here's a picture of me and two of my friends taken that night.

Just a few more things to tell you. My Mom is fostering a new group of cats again. There is Marley and Jaxy:

And lastly, here is Bitta. She's a little cat that my Mom is seriously thinking of adopting. Cute, eh?

Hope everyone is well.

Cute kitties! We are actually looking to foster again as well... possibly a great dane this time!
Congrats on meeting some of your goals, that's much better than none!

Bitta is adorable. Kittens just can't not be cute. I love it when they
do the Halloween thing. Stephen King can be a compelling writer. I particularly liked the non fiction autobiographical book that he wrote.

Kittens are so silly, I love the pictures. I'll have to search out that Stephen King book: the idea of time travel is one of my favorite things, and I'm taking your word for it that there are no scary clowns.

No scary clowns..
I think you will really enjoy this book. It's packed with it all.

The pics of the cat are adorable!
It sounds like you had a really busy time, but you hit a lot of your targets ... and mostly had a lot of fun so it sounds like a great break.
You always seem like you are having a great time when you are haning with your friends.

Later in life you will look back and think, What IF--comes up quite a few times like Martin wouldn't change a thing
Watched Les Miserables on stage back in the eighties , had forgotten and the wife gave me a dvd of it for xmas, yes its all dialogue.
Treasure that photograph, memories forlater and put the date on the back

Is 'make hay' an Australian saying?
Anyway, thanks for the comments!

Yes, you are fabulous!
Joining a new gay site sounds like a good idea - maybe you'll meet new friends on there learn something new.
