Finally! Tha Fifty List Is Posted!

1. MAKE A WEBSITE (for Tha Fifty List) - March 12, 2008

At the beginning of every year I do what everyone does; I make false promises to myself to do things that I have really no intention of actually completing.

I am going to lose 20 pounds! I manage to get myself to one morning exercise class before deciding I prefer to sleep in and I'll just accept my few extra pounds. I am going to paint my masterpiece! I buy all the pencils, oils, acrylics, brushes, canvas, and a brand new carrying case, which I effectively lose before I can decide what my actually masterpiece is… I have a habit of procrastinating or losing focus when I’m bored.

I couldn’t tell you a single important thing that happened to me this past year. I was twenty-one and the expectation is you're suppose to go a little crazy - party, drink, get high on life. Somehow an entire year went by without my knowledge, as I just turned twenty-two this past November. When I was asked what I wanted for the New Year, I realized all I wanted was a memorable year – at least one where I accomplish SOMETHING!

So I made a list. Thought of the things I wanted to do. Wrote down things I had never done before. Ten became twenty. Twenty to forty. Forty was easily fifty. And there, you have it. An eventful year consisting of things that interest me, scare me, challenge me, inspire me. I am going to do all these things, mainly because now I accumulated an audience along the way who are expecting me to finish. I posted the list on my myspace page and invited others to join me. Surprisingly, quite a few people thought it sounded fun and signed up to help me.

So here, in this blog, I am going to document this year! A calendar will be posted so you can join me if you would like. Stay tuned for all the stories, pictures, videos and such. And if you feel inspired… write me!
