February by the numbers

I’m not a good person. I’m selfish. I’m hedonistic. I’m undisciplined. I have no faith I will get any better before I die.

The other night, as my wife and I sat at a bar together, I admitted that I am void of goals. The past few years have forced me into a number of routines that are unhealthy and generally tiresome for all involved.

So, for lack of something pushing me to get better than this, I have set some goals. I’m not going to tell you what they are until March 1. However, they are based on the following numbers. Regardless of what happens between now and March 1, I’ll publish the results and meaning behind them 29 days from now.

And yeah, I’m aware I’ve picked the shortest month of the year for this little experiment.
