Pretty sure goals are overrated

Over the last couple of weeks, I've realized more and more that I've got way so many goals going that it's insanity. What's worse is none of it is written down. I don't know why I don't bother writing the stuff down. It isn't like there is a shortage of paper and pencils in my house or anything. I just never bother writing it down. How I even bother to remember to journal daily is beyond me and even then I miss a couple of days here and there and end up having to make up those days and don't remember half of the stuff I wanted to write in the first place. I don't even know how I'm keeping up with a reading schedule passed out by someone from church a couple of weeks ago. It's a 40 day reading challenge and it's on the more intense side: 12 or so pages daily to finish the Book of Mormon by the start of General Conference on the 31st of the month. But it's probably a good thing that I got myself into the rhythm of doing that kind of thing towards the end of last August. 

Anyways, back to the topic at hand. Maybe I'm weird or something but I divided them up between home/personal and work. And most of them fall into the "home/personal" group, which has subgroups and everything. The subgroups can range from music I want to get to books I want to read to what I need to take with me to Utah and getting it packed (this is a new one since it was recently decided between the fiancé and I that I would go see him for a while so we could spend some time together). I remember once hearing a saying from someone that a goal not written down is just a dream. Or was it a wish? Either way, a goal unwritten is bound to be forgotten in the long run. I really need to start writing mine down. And I'm pretty sure I'll take down a small forest in the process.

Speaking of the music goal list, there was a song I heard on the radio today (well, yesterday if you want to get techincal since it's 2:30AM as I write this) on the way to Albertson's that I hadn't heard before from what sounded like ACDC that I would like to get my hands on. I have a love/hate relationship with the radio. Sometimes, it'll give me new stuff to listen to that I like (and can never remember later since I don't bother writing it down like I should) or they play the same songs over and over and kill the song. Really hoping they start changing that last part soon. I get the reasoning behind the repeating of the songs, I really do, but there's more than just those songs out there that are constantly being repeated that are worth the air time.

A song I realized that I liked recently is Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Dance, Dance, Dance." Pretty sure most of the reasoning behind liking it is the music behind the words but the words work pretty well. I'm pretty entertained by it. But maybe it's just because it's me and I'm weird.
