101 in 1001

Posted on May 20, 2008 by wakeupmaggie

today, may 20th, 2008, marks the start of a new self-improvement/fun/educational program for myself.  the idea and inspiration comes from my friend stephanie.  i have spent a few weeks compiling a comprehensive list of 101 things that i vow to accomplish within the next 1001 days (that’s 2 years and 271 days).  at first, i toyed around with the idea of 100 things to accomplish before i turn 30 (some of these were much more grandiose).  in the end, i liked the simplicity and symmetry of 101 in 1001 better.

i have also been looking for a more personal blog than my mp3 blog or my myspace or facebook profiles.  this will be it.  i can’t and won’t promise to update on a very regular basis, as i kind of suck at that.  i am hoping that will take some pressure off and allow me to just post, when i have something to say.

THE COMPLETE LIST (also linked at top of page)
