Washington D.C.

So, Lindsay and myself have decided to go Washington D.C. for the 4th of July to commemorate Independence Day. We'll drive up yonder Thursday (sometime) and get back Sunday (sometime). I have never been to D.C. We bought a Frommer's guide to D.C. that we will use to see all the 'cool stuff'.

If it's raining... we will still see everything, we will just be soaked doing so. That'd be thoroughly entertaining!

I have updated my weekly list from Lindsay to the right. Last week, I failed on 9 of the 15 things. $9 gone forever! OMG. There are a few repeats on this weeks list: Vacuum the apartment, take prilosec every day, etc. I have to hug lark... LOL (I hope she likes hugs?).

Straight Bumpin'

Edit: Oh yeah, the list to the left must be finalized by Wednesday (July 1). That is when the 101 things in 1001 days begins! I hope to cross off Washington D.C. First! OMG.

List to the left... WTF.

The list to the left has been updated with all 101 things I'd like to get accomplished in 1001 days (2.75 years). This list is open to debate till 7/1/09. There will be no changes after 6/30/09, the challenge will start on 7/1/09. The time clock at the top will display the amount of time I have left till the end of the list.

For every goal completed, I will put 5$ in a saving account to use when the end of the 2.75 years has come to pass. = $505.00.

Hmmm...

I shall try to get next week's list completely done! that is my goal! =P.

I'm still working on my 101 things in 1001 days. I shall update the 'weekly list' when Lindsay gives it to me. I have to put $2 in the 'pot' for not finishing my book and not going to lay out at the pool for an hour. It's all good. I must go pay bills now... later.

101 things in 1001 days

This is NOT the beginning of the 101 things in 1001 days. It is simply the 'outline' for the project. I'm trying to figure out a list of 101 things to do in 1001 days (about 2.75 years). They can range from places to visit, accomplishments to get done, licenses to obtain, etc. Any ideas ya'll have (3 of ya it looks like), feel free to suggest, I MIGHT use them as part of my list. Here are the rules of the 101 things in 1001 days:

"The Mission:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.

The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on my part).

Why 1001 Days?
Many people have created lists in the past - frequently simple goals such as New Year's resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities." - www.DayZeroProject.com

I'm going to try to add a 'day counter' on this blog at some point, but who knows what will happen with that.

For those who are curious... this is an interesting activity that Lindsay and myself have developed about a month ago. Each week, we give each other a list of 15 activities, goals, accomplishments that must be completed. If we, for some reason, don't complete the activity to the specification of the party who initiated such activity, then we owe $1 to 'the JAR'. Potential of $15 per week.

For the Week starting 6/15/09: I have until Sunday night at 12:00 am to complete the activities, or I owe a $1.
(BTW, Orange = completed)

1. Finish reading your book.
2. Blog 4 times this week.
3. Check out a new book (of your choice) to read from the library. Must be at least 200 pages long.
4. Part your hair on the other side one morning and go to work like that.
5. Go to Subway for lunch and get something other than Roast Beef with Provolone (different meat AND different cheese)... preferably a sub you have never had before.
6. For one hour on two different days this week, do not pick at or bite your fingernails. Leave them completely alone.
7. For 72 hours, drink nothing other than water. (Protein shakes will be acceptable.)
8. Climb a tree. (Please don't fall out!)
9. Hula hoop. (I think there is one of these in my coat closet.)
10. Buy a pair of funny socks.
11. Ask someone at work (other than me or Dustin) if they need a hand, and then give them a photo copy of your hand.
12. Write me a letter in some kinda code and mail it to me. Supply the code key separately later.
13. Lay out by the pool and/or swim for at least one hour.
14. Color a picture for me to hang on my fridge.
15. Let me teach you to knit.

And, here we go! YAY!

Howdy. I have a free weekend, I can do whatever I want this weekend! OMG... WOOOOOO. LOL, kidding, I need to feed and water the kitties, and clean up poop from the kitties. I have a huge list of things I need to get done this weekend. One of which is read the remainder of my first Personal MBA book "Getting things Done". I have about 150 pages to go. I don't know if this will happen or not, I shall keep the one person who reads this posted on it's progress.

P.S. I miss you.

Oh yeah, I also thought of making a new post containing 101 things I want to get done in 1001 days. Dayzeroproject.com . Straight bumpin'. I'll let you know when I get that sombitch up and running... KABLAH!

Question of the day... If you pwned a bitch and no one was around, did you really pwn a bitch?

I feel as though I am writing to one person, so I might as well address THAT person individually. Of course, she is the reason behind my writings, my inspiration if you will.

To Lindsay: Thank you for the past almost 5 months and the enjoyment it has brought me. The challenges we've faced, the fun times we've had (table rock), and the bitches we've pwned. May these fantastic times continue to make their way into our lives for the better. Until I see you again, which is hopefully soon... specially cause you are supposed to be at work, <3.

P.S. you weren't separated at birth, Taylor Swift doesn't have anything compared to you.

Hmm... what do I feel like writing about today? I just signed up at the library. It sounds like the library is going to be a pimpin good time, true story. I might have to get into reading and checking things out there. I can check out DVD's there! OMG.

What should I do?

Hello my good looking people. How are ya'll?

First, a problem:

2379
5649
4508
9782
4627
2843

Which number is the odd one out in this collection?

Second, http://personalmba.com/ is the website I am using to read (slowly but surely) the books that 'make me a better person'.

Third, http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/0,28757,1809858,00.html is a list of the top 50 websites of 2008. Very nice list.

Fourth, http://hundredpushups.com/index.html is what I'm using to try and achieve 100 consecutive pushups. Started on Week 3.

So, as I write this profound knowledge and share it with select people. I have to ask myself a question: Why? I don't believe there is an easy explanation. But, if I had to give an explanation, it would be that I am looking for 'more'. Looking to better myself through a series of writings, limericks (workin on these), or some other type of activity that makes my life, health, happiness, peace of mind, and any other type of well-being more productive and successful. If you have any more ideas as to what more I can do to make myself a better person (beside get more sleep =P), feel free to comment on those 'discoveries'.

Until next time, which won't be long cause I need to write in this thing alot more often. Sigh, I need to work on my grammar and vocabulary too. UGH.
