A Little Bit Longer And I’ll Be Fine.

All this time goes by, still no reason why
A little bit longer and I’ll be fine
Waitin’ on a cure, but none of them are sure
A little bit longer and I’ll be fine

It’s just one of those days.

I Can Put You In The Log Cabin Somewhere In Aspen

I finished a task!!! And, it’s about time!

I wrote a letter to myself that I won’t read until the 1001 days are up.  I think that means the day after, since I have until April 29th to finish it?  Uh, I need to figure that out.  In the letter, I basically just outlined my reason for electing to do the 101 in 1001 and how I hoped this would help me grow.  Simple stuff, really.

Aside from that, things have been keeping on.  Lots of ups and downs, not necessarily with me but with life in general…especially where I live.  I feel as though there have been so many young deaths recently around here.  You never think that anything bad is going to happen to the people that you know.  You know, the good kids-the ones that have so much life ahead of them, so much to look forward to.  The best kids.  The ones with the infectious spirits and best attitudes.  It’s surreal.  These types of things shouldn’t happen to people so young, but not everything works out the way they should.  You never know when something that can jeopardize…anything…can show up, so what can you do?  Live and love unconditionally.  No regrets.  Do what makes you happy and I think that you’ll find that you’ll make others happy in return.  It’s contagious.

Yikes.  The whole thing is terribly sad.  I just wish it wasn’t so.  Sorry for the ambiguity, I just don’t know how much I really want to elaborate.  But, anyways, I’m going to keep chasing my 101 in 1001 list.

Why Not Take A Star From The Sky?

I’ve come to the conclusion that if I can swim in college, anyone can.

I have no muscle strength.  I am not conditioned.  And, I get my butt kicked by younger kids every time I step in the water.  It’s kind of ridiculous.  I’m not sure why, but I don’t really see any reason to give up.  I like this because I have a chance to work for something, even if I feel like quitting every stroke of the way.

Speaking of working towards something.  I was going to wait to mention this until I finished the list, but I accomplished on of the things last week without meaning to.  I decided to make a list of 101 things to accomplish in 1001 days.  I stumbled upon the idea somewhere online.  Instead of doing something like a New Years Resolution (which, never really works), you have a list of things that you’d like to accomplish…with a feasible deadline.  These goals/tasks/whatever aren’t necessarily easy.  They stretch you a little and challenge you.  I like being motivated and I like lists, so why wouldn’t I love doing this.  I’m so excited to be focused and do these things. I think that chasing these goals will toughen me up, and I definitely need that.  I have no street smarts, in a sense.

So, here’s my list:
