DIRECTIVE NINE!

"DIRECTIVE NINE!" is not to be confused with the hit summer blockbuster of 2009 known as "District 9". "DIRECTIVE NINE!" (Yes, it must be typed in ALL CAPS complete with the exclamation point) was a series of "life goals" I made for myself at the beginning of 2009. I was so set on these "life goals" that I made an official list.

I call them "life goals" because I wanted to be apart from the herd of the "New Year's Resolutions" crowd. I wanted my list to mean something and be such a grand list that it came off more like a series of "life goals" within a "directive" type of plan. Does any of that make any sense?

Who cares.

For several weeks on MySpace t the beginning of 2009 (and you can research this for yourself), I was announcing that I had made a list of "life goals" in a secret document known as "DIRECTIVE NINE!" For those of you that have been longtime readers and fans of my blogs, you know this to be true.

For those of you that haven't been readers and fans... WOULD YOU GET ON THE BUS, ALREADY?! Jesus.

Anyway, I made the proclamation then that I would give full disclosure of "DIRECTIVE NINE!" on January 1st, 2010.

Well, guess what?

The time has come for me to unseal the top secret document known as "DIRECTIVE NINE!" and unleash it to the reading audience. Not only will I display "DIRECTIVE NINE!" here, but I will be writing a separate blog talking about each "life goal" and what its status is in my life today.

Here for you now is the series of "life goals" I made for myself on January 1st, 2009. A transcript of this can be supplied to you for a small fee of $10,000 dollars U.S.

DIRECTIVE NINE!
CLASSIFIED: FOR EYES ONLY
01/01/2009

The following information has been created by and is only to be shared with YOU, Mike R. Millen. If, by January 1st, 2010, items on this list have not been completed or accomplished, you may release said information to the general public.

This list is to work in conjunction with other previously written and/or posted "life goals" made on or before January 1st, 2009. Good luck with your quest, Mike.

DIRECTIVE NINE!

*Try to gain full-time and well paid employment back in radio broadcasting. If a part-time position should become available to you here in Salt Lake, take it. Get your foot back in the door.

DIRECTIVE NINE.2!

*Invest time and effort into finding a serious, long-term relationship with a suitable partner of the opposite sex.

DIRECTIVE NINE.3!

*Should a relationship be accomplished before the end of 2009, seriously consider marriage and children. Don't let the opportunity pass you by if you feel it in your gut. You've missed the boat on this point several times in your past. Time to man up and stop fucking around. You're not 21 anymore.

DIRECTIVE NINE.4!

*Invest time, effort and money into publishing a book. Even if it's self-published, Mike. Also, invest time and effort in sending previously written material out to newspapers and magazines for possible freelance work. Perhaps even consider writing professionally.

DIRECTIVE NINE.5!

*Invest time, effort and money into creating your image via the Internet via a website and podcasts. Share yourself outside of the written form as a continuing way to entertain the masses. This has always been your calling and you know it. If you can't obtain a full-time radio gig (as previously outlined in "DIRECTIVE NINE!"), go after your talent, creativity and dream by utilizing it in an Internet based forum.

DIRECTIVE NINE.6!

*Invest better time, effort and money in your mom. Help her get a better car, a water heater and a new furnace. Investigate further on how to help her fix up her home with little or no cost to her. There has to be a way. FIND IT!

DIRECTIVE NINE.7!

*Try not to get discouraged. Try not to get angry. Try to be a better person for you and everyone around you. You know (as well as everybody else) that you live by the environment you create. If it's negative, you'll live negatively. It it's positive, you'll live positively. It all starts with you, Mike. Now put a smile on your face and make it happen. Don't just say you're going to do it, JUST DO IT!
