Goals and Resolutions

LiveJournal Tags: Christianity , Health , Creativity , Travel , Bible , Writing , Resolutions , New Year This is a list of the things I’d like to accomplish by the end of this Year of Our Lord, 2013: 1.  Lose at least 15 pounds.   In order to do that, I need to pay more attention to my diet and get off my rumpus and move (i.e., exercise); 2. Read through the Bible this year.   I will be using a reading plan and Rob Lacey’s edgy Word on the Street paraphrase. Yes, I know its cheating, sort of, but I gotta start somewhere, right? 3. Be more creative.   I like to write some, and I’m drawn toward fiction. I’d like to write some short stories for the Ranger Co. X setting that has been recently published by Asparagus Jumpsuit.

I really want to finish this one this...

Although I have been monitoring my weight weekly, I have not lost an appreciable weight.  Of course, I have not gained any appreciable weight either.  I'll take maintenance as a positive thing, and since the weather is warming up, I'll start walking my neighborhood soon. 2.   Read through the Bible in a Year . I can't say that I have been terribly consistent with this either, but I rather than beat myself up over the lack of consistency and then quit, I have found that with th e...

My Marvel Movies Ranked

The TL:DR version - My Final Ranks: https://boxd.it/1JTjC It seems that a lot of the folks I follow have put together their list of the top Marvel Films. Now that Avengers: Infinity War is out, I thought it was probably time for me to at least take a stab at a list of my own. But with eighteen films to work with, it seemed to be a very overwhelming task.  So I decided to apply a very simple methodology to my ranks: First, I looked at the films releases by the "Phases" as ordered by Marvel: Original Release List: Phase One Iron Man (2008) The Incredible Hulk (2008) Iron Man 2 (2010) Thor (2011) Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) Marvel's The Avengers (2012) Phase Two Iron Man 3 (2013) Thor: The Dark World (2013) Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) Ant-Man (2015) Phase Three Captain America: Civil War (2016) Doctor Strange (2016) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2...
