Gotta Get Goals
(The Alex Shalman’s Gotta Get Goals meme)
1) In a new blog post, list and write about the top 5 to 10 goals that you gotta’ get so that you can truly say you have achieved your wildest dreams in life. These have to be your best, most exclusive, and over-the-top goals that you can pick off your goals list.
2) In the introduction of your post, explain what you’re doing with the Gotta’ Get Goals project and “put a link and/or a trackback to this post”, for the purpose of giving them the full rules and for me to compile the master list of all participants that I’ll link to in a future post.
3) As with Simply Success Secrets, don’t forget to put a link or trackback to the blogger who tagged you for Gotta’ Get Goals in order to let your readers follow the conversation around.
4) Sharing your Gotta’ Get Goals with your own audience, will also share them with the blogger who tagged you and the bloggers you tagged, as well as their whole audience!
5) There is no limit to how many bloggers you are allowed to “tag”, so go crazy. It will help their exposure as well as your own when they tag back to your Gotta Get Goals post. That’s how meme’s work.
6) Sit back and enjoy the show. As Aaron would say, “watch the gotta get goals and the crossover audiences start rolling in!”
-
1. Write something. Anything.
Well anything fictional. Writer’s block is a bitch.
2. Write something decent.
3. Get it published.
4. Become a bestselling writer.
5. Own my own home.
Instead of leeching off my parents.
6. Find a meaty manly man to devour.
Yum.
7. Leave the country for a while.
I’d like to spend some more time in Japan, but I’d also consider Thailand.
8. Attain a bachelor’s degree.
I’m a university drop-out, a black cloud of failure which has hung over my head for the past nine years.
9. Become good at something.
Cos I feel like the archetypal Jack of all Trades, Master of None.
10. Find my soulmate.
Doesn’t even have to be a romantic/lustful thing (hence item 7), but just someone who loves me the way I am.

The same 5 bloggers are tagged for this meme, should they wish to accept this additional mission, the poor wee lambs.

Hi P.J. Thanks for stopping by and letting me know a little more about the history of the pink lion. I enjoyed looking around here. Do they still have phone booths in England? I love the fact that they are red and would love one in my house. It would make a great time-out. Don’t you think?

I think I was keeping him safe for you, Colleen. Thanks for your visit.
We do still have red phone booths here, but mostly in central London for the tourists. I guess a red phone booth in your home would be a striking design feature, though I’m not sure I’d have one in my home…
Here’s a pic I took of some red phone booths in central London.

Best wishes,
Doctor M.
