101 in 1001

I’ve been wanting to start a blog for a while now, but I didn’t know what I would write about. I still don’t know if I’ll have much to say, or if it will even be interesting, but I am gonna start one anyway.

I decided I would start my first entry with my 101 in 1001. I saw this idea on some other blogs and I thought it would be really neat. What you do is make a list of 101 things that you would like to accomplish in the next 1001 days. I am starting this list today, May 8, 2010 so my time will be up on February 1, 2013.

Honestly, I’ve never really been good and finishing a project that I start, so that is what I want to do with this. I want to finally start something, and actually finish it. I will make sure to let you all know when I mark something off my list.

I hope I don’t bore you all to death. (If anyone even reads this) I can’t promise that I will always have something encouraging or positive to say. I can’t promise I’m gonna make you laugh, or say anything philosophical. I am not going to pretend to use the best grammar or spelling. I love to make people laugh, and I hope I’ll be able to do that, but I’m not always happy. I am often moody. I tend to ramble about random things, and I am constantly forgetting what I was gonna say next. But I can promise you that I will be myself. That is all I can be.

Until next time.
