I suppose it needs a little explanation.

Here is my shameful secret: At any given moment, wherever I am, I would rather be home. I could be having a lot of fun, but my thought it usually something like “Ah! Now I have had fun! Now I can go home!” There is usually a sense that there is something I need to be doing at home. Some chore that needs finishing.

Of course, when I do get home, I don’t do chores. I feel like I’ve done my chores by even going out and being social. So I tend to slump around, listening to music or watching TV, reading or playing video games. And for all the pull I feel to be going home, I usually don’t end up that satisfied.

I know I should get out more, and so part of the reason I devised this project is so I can do just that: force myself to go out, meet new people, have new experiences. Break out of my comfort zone a little. There’s only so much sitting at home a person can do before he goes insane.

So in a couple of week’s time it’ll be on. Until then you can find me on my couch.
