101 in 1001

I realize that I am a pretty terrible blogger. Hopefully I will be better in the future and give meaningful, edifying, entertaining content. Likely not all three of those things at once. I'm not that good.

Anyways, my friend Alyse recently posted a list of 101 goals to accomplish in 1001 days. I enjoyed her post so I figure I would give the same thing a try. Most of these I should be able to complete, but some are simply beyond my control in some regard. The end date is Friday, December 7, 2012. Here we go, in no logical order or categorization:
