Ok - first of all, we watched Blood Diamond last night. Entertaining for certain, but made me remember that most Americans (and America as a nation) do not care about Africa. This was further reinforced by an article in the Tribune today, Even with the Best Intentions, that basically said that it's too hard - and even those who would want to help, usually are not very successful.
Second - personal goals are so tough. Easy to make, hard to follow through with. Anyone have any good suggestions? I tried toning down the goals, make them doable, but it's still very difficult. This is throwing it out there, but this week the goals are:
1. Write everyday in the blog - it's supposed to be healthy
2. Do 25 pushups - some exercise is better than none
Those I might do. Harder ones I'm still thinking about
Less than 2 hours TV/videogames (shouldn't be that tough - except on a dreary Sunday)
Run everyday (more than 1 mile)
Read for fun for more than 20 minutes (would be easy - but I've got to get to the library)
Anyway, that's the idea. My will power can only get me so far. So, keep it simple stupid.

For me to achieve goals I have to give myself some reward. If I do whatever I want to for some give period of time I get a present. Obviously what motivates me probably won't motivate you :)
By the way, Hi Dan!
