2-thousand-GREAT: June in Review

Man, it is hard to believe that it has already been 6 months since the start of 2008 and my move to NYC.  200GREAT is rolling right a long, so let’s check in on my  goals.

1. 53 Weeks of Drewy Goodness. 26 projects are now complete.  June focused on learning Pachelbel’s Canon, where I learned the chords, memorized them, practiced them, and worked on the strumming rhythm.  This week I’ll record me playing it, and we’ll finished with Pachelbel’s.
2. A Joke a Day. 182 jokes.  Some favorites in June: Amish Electric Slide, Server crash, and Noah’s Ark.
3. Perform Comedy 53 times. With only two performances in June, I’m now at 32.  Still ahead of the weekly average, but I’ve slowed down noticeably.
4. Get over 100,000 views on YouTube. I’ve started Sketch writing classes, and Matt and I have taped a sketch, but we still have to do the editing.
5. Publish an Article. No progress here.
6. Break into Top 10 Internal Blogs at P&G. I was really good about posting here… for a week.  I need to really figure out what I need to focus on this one.
7. Start a business. This is going to be the top priority in July.
8. Have 13.5″ Guns. Still at 13″.  I haven’t been hitting the weight room like I should be.
9. Never hit Snooze. This one is lost completely.
10. Help Someone Achieve a Goal. No one’s really asked for my help so far…

Oh June; it went by so quick.  The nice thing is that I’m now doing some form of comedy three times a week (improv class, writing class, and stand-up).  But I need to really make some headway against my identified goals.  2008 really has to be a great year for all things comedy, hopefully July will get me back to being focused.
