The Year Thus Far

Thus far, 2008 has been quite a roller coaster. This is a good thing, because I love roller coasters. My favorite is the Screamin' Eagle at Six Flags over Saint Louis, Missouri.

Thus far, in 2008, I have worked as a paralegal, welcomed my first baby boy into the world, re-enrolled in college (1 more year!), and have still not finished a new album! My eyes are bigger than my stomach, I'm told, and I have decided to reevaluate my goals for the upcoming year. Let's take a look:

1. Spend time with my family (Ongoing).
2. Release an EP (February 2009).
3. Make my fiancee' an "honest woman" (June 2009).
4. Finish school (ETA August 2009).
5. Pick a school for post-grad studies
6. Write a new record for 2010

Lately I've been interested in arranging and recording Christmas/winter songs. I will probably try to record a couple more songs for this year. Maybe I'll revive my albums from the years past and package it up properly. Maybe I'll buy in to the consumerism of the holiday season.

If you see me on the street, ask me how my goals are coming along. If you don't, I'm liable to forget I set them in the first place.

What are your goals for this year? Send them to me at nathaniel[dot]carroll[at]gmail[dot]com, and I'll post my favorite ones on here in the months to come.

xoxo,
nathaniel
