finally

I just got home amid all of the New Year traffic. Weird being home before 1am. Hmmm... weird year on some levels, while on others it was meh or sad when not rather wonderful.
Not sure how I feel about my dad passing. I didn't get along with him once his illness got him deranged into thinking all healthcare should be free. He was afraid of dying and he channeled his anxiety into wasteful activities. He probably spent more time campaigning for BHO and ACA than he did visiting his grandkids. I know he meant well most of the time but he took my libertarian views as being fascist or something.
Well, I'm not going to dwell on what my dad was so much as what I would hope to improve upon towards my three kids' upbringing. I'm a deeply flawed person, but I don't drink, smoke or do drugs, so I have potential to set goals and expect to achieve elements of said goals.
I'm going to try to be nicer than I have been in the past. I want people to say, "Dylan is thoughtful." Actually gave my spare Fitbit away the last day of 2015. I got a hug in return.
A few years ago I tried to blog daily, and the blog wasn't much most days. I neglected it and segued here. Maybe I'm done there. I don't get much traffic like the old blog, but this marks the 50th post. I started the old blog when I was between jobs and collecting unemployment. I did some mildly wrong things to get the stats inflated, but it never generated income, so tipping the scale means I have no idea why people came upon it.
 Time for a fresh start.

I think I had over a million visits in 2015, but totals fluctuated depending upon the algorithm, I guess.
I'm not planning on blogging daily. I should sleep more. I should try to get a career. I need to network or something 'cause the Internet alone hasn't yielded me much after all these years.

goals and such

I should be sleeping, but I just ate  and want to comment upon the above. I believe that getting the above aligned will trickle down into being a better husband and father. I'm less of a jerk when I am rested. I'm less of a jerk when I am busy. I feel less like penny pinching when I make more money. Budget can mean time and money. Hobbies are things done in free time that is not resting.
Sounds like I want to be able to do fun things with my family when I look over the list as a whole. I could go and do my annual SWOT review that I've not done in a couple years, but I really only have one weakness, while I have a lot of strengths that have lots of opportunities embedded, while said weakness is a threat if it's not controlled.
