Conquering New Heights

A few months ago I decided to watch every episode of Gilmore Girls.  At that point, I wasn't that dedicated to finishing, I didn't really give it my all, and then a few weeks ago, I was accidentally really into it.  I found myself laughing with Rory and Lorelei, crying with them, feeling uncomfortable with them... and then I realized it had gotten personal. There are 7 seasons, like 20 or more episodes in each season. Thats like 140 episodes guys!!!  But I decided I had to finish before we left to go to Oregon. 

There were a lot of haters, not even gonna lie. Lots of naysayers. Lots who said, "Rob, why does it have to be done before we leave for Oregon?  It's not possible to watch all of it! You don't have time! There's lots to do before we go too."  Well guys, I needed a deadline. It was taking an eternity to finish. So I'd always reply with, "Hey now! I'm doing my best! It's not like I'm being lazy about this. I'm being very diligent to get this done. If we all just work together, we can get through this!" Needless to say, the haters gonna hate... so they totally hated. Towards the end, I was just wanted it to be over also, but I've quit too many things in this ole life of mine. I couldn't quit this!  And I didn't!! Yesterday, June 13th at 4:47pm I finished the 22nd episode of season 7.  

Now that I've conquered that great feat, I'm pretty sure I can put that on my resume. Pretty sure......  

After completing this, and after feeling so proud, I feel like my priorities should be reassessed. I'll keep you updated.  But, after conquering something as huge as that, I don't know how I'll ever top that with anything else I do in my life.  It just means I'll have to set STINKING AWESOME GOALS now.

In the meantime, I kinda miss the ole Gilmore Girls gang.... Don't worry though. I'm not going to start over.  But what can you expect? I became emotionally attached!
