Who am I and what am I doing?

So what is the plan with this blog? First, I want to get some practice writing, just because I want to write for the pleasure of it. In high school and college, I wrote for school papers. I wrote for a small paper here in Springfield. But I haven't written this decade. And I want to get that muscle working again.

The idea is to start watching more movies, especially classic older movies, and writing on what I watch. In the past month, I've watched mostly recent movies, and not written anything. I still hope to write on what I've watched recently. But I would like to mix it up a bit more.

In 2006, I put together three "need to see" lists of 1,000 films each, none of which I've seen. The films were from the period through the year 2000. For the years 2001-2007, I've added 100 films to the list. So now I have a list of 3700 films. And last month, I saw the 22nd film from the lists. I will never complete the task, but I sure would like to pick up the pace.

In addition, my other list is all the Disney films up to the year 2000, as I put no Disney films on the "need to see" list. I want to see how many of these films I can watch, most of which with my kids. They are the studio which most intrigues me.

I have more to write, but now I must leave to go stare at some men who stare at goats. Maybe I'll even write about it.
