The older I get, I find that I need to constantly make goals for myself. Not just any ol' goals, but huge, extra-ordinary, time-vampire goals. No one really tells you that when you're sifting through your neoprene binder in middle school. No one says,
"One day, you're going to have to actively work at keeping yourself from staying inside all day, watching netflix and eating toast"
That's something that I've had to figure out how to deal with on my own. There are so many days, recently even, where-as I know that I've got things I could be doing, but instead, I choose to chain combo Boardwalk Empire until I pass out. So when I do set up goals, I set high ones. It's no secret. All my friends know that about me.
Having these sorts of high demanding goals keep me human. It's sort of fucked. I have to completely overload my plate, so that way I become anxious about the things I'm neglecting to watch the new "Netflix Original Series". I don't know how I got this way. My dad only used to let me watch television on the weekends. Maybe that screwed me over. This zine and everything that comes from it is only one of many goals I have on my "plate" and possibly the most gratifying.
Above is the cover for the new issue. Way excited. Here's some info -
