Resetting my life at 35.

<p>I am not a great man. Good at times, I work hard daily to provide for my family while drinking like a fool and depressing myself. Don't get me wrong, I have a wonderful wife, and a son I would do anything for. I have a good job, I despise it, but for now it is a source of income.<br>
After getting home from the daily grind, I play with my son for a bit, and then start on video games. All the while, beer is flowing in. It's not ALL that I do, cleaning, cooking, watching television, and sometimes other activities like going to the ocean. I enjoy playing video games, and have another blog reviewing them. If you want, you can view it here: http://goo.gl/tuJWY. <br>
I never really thought about my future until my son was born.  When I thought about it, it made me feel pretty insignificant, and useless.No need for pity, we dig our own graves here.
I realized I needed to change, I see other people out there happy and doing things that I would like to do. Which is why I started this blog. The purpose was to help others help themselves while chronologically keeping track of my own journey.
I never really was a goal setter, though I have accomplished many short term goals. If anything, I am a hard worker. I have steadily kept my nose to the grind since I was young, though I never really had an actual projected outcome. I have been a soldier, a bouncer, a student, a construction worker, a farmer, homeless, and am currently in underground utilities.
Undertaking this process will hopefully lead me to my ultimate goal along the way, to be happier with life in general.
I have set this blog as one of my goals to help me meet some of my harder goals. This will be a process that may take time, but I will try to blog about my goals and accomplishments once per day.
One of my other goals was to carve a pipe out of briar. I smoke a pipe regularly, probably too regularly. When I was younger I attended an art school, and completed an Associates Degree in Industrial Technology. I did absolutely nothing with my degree after graduating, which from what I understand, happens quite often.
I digress, I will be working on a pipe design that will be hand carved, though the holes will be predrilled into the briar. This piece will cost me $35 to start, I already have tools for carving. I have taken my first step toward completing this step, and have ordered the briar. I can't wait! This is going to be a great experience!
One of my other goals was to get back into shape. I have had a gym membership for over a year, and have barely gone. I will be going 3 times a week, but every day I have set a goal of doing pushups. Right now, the goal is 15, and I have done them today. Eventually, I plan on doing at least 50 a day, I feel this will help me to stay focused on the tasks at hand.
I will continue to post regularly about this, and hope it helps someone out there to realize that small goals add up to a bigger goal in the end.
