101 in 1001
Happy New Year, my people! Already the new year has started and I've gotten
behind on a few things, like my top
25 songs of 2004, like Honey did. It's alright though. All good things come
in time. Christmas in of itself was great. With a total of 12 new CDs, some
very cool gifts, and an iPod I'm in absolute heaven. I'm sliding towards the
world that is Apple, and for once, I'm gonna let it take me over.
I'll start of this year by letting you know that I have a couple of outlets
that I use to express myself. If you want to know the real me and hear my voice,
email your phone number to eflavors01 [at] sprintpcs dot com
and I'll be sure to call you back. [Note- this paragraph will dissapear in exactly
1 week.]
Speaking of taking over, while I don't have a New Year's resolutions list, I've
finally come up with my list of 101/1001. It took about 17 days for me to come
up with 101, so I'm psyched. Some might sound small, others unattainable, and
I'm sure some of them may even be strange, but what you see is what you get.
I'll be updating this post on the regular, so check back from time to time.

notified).

23. The Penn Relays are in April.
38. If you accomplish 15, there's always the crowd outside the Today Show.
53. Once you do, you'll wonder why you waited so long.
59. Once you do, you'll wonder why you waited so long!
84. People still do that?
95. Never happen!
What, no sky diving?
You have quite a bit to accomplish this year, young jedi!! Best wishes for a spectacular 2005.
I love that SXSW is on your list. I believe George, Monique, and I are about to launch a decent push to get minority bloggers and tech heads to the conference this year...if only to come and attend our cool panel and talk some shit.
"Be Seen on Television" made me laugh out loud. I don't even know why.
You did it! Hooray! I'll have to go back and check through the list when I get the time, but you did it!
Happy New Year! It's already two days in and I'm just now making the rounds.
Is one of those 12 books 'Getting Things Done"? This list would be a perfect thing to work into GTD. You've reminded me that I've got to get to work on SXSW my damn self.
Maybe I'll do one of these lists too. How are you gonna notigy blogliners of the updates to this post? Something other than making a new post saying "I've updated my 101 things" or is there some (other) feature of Bloglines that i don't knwo about?
You duplicated 36 and 69...but good list EJ. Happy New Year!
You have a sharp eye, raven. I corrected it! Happy New Year to you too.
Michael, I'm thinking that if I change the date of the 101/1001 post, and the excerpt, Bloglines should take care of it automatically.
Of course, the easiest solution is just to place a link on the right hand side and update it for those who are curious. That way everyone gets notified.
Ouch. Now my brain hurts. ;-)
Happy New Year, bro!
Good luck on your "101/1001" list.
DAMMIT! Y'all are making me look bad. I'm still struggling to get 51 in 501. (I'm really not good with that long-term thing.) GRRRRRRRRRRRR ...
happy new year! (from that other guy that loves you!!!)
BTW, when you're ready for #97, call me. ;-)
boy if i see ur top half nekkid in the club it's gonna be on!!! (jealous cuz i need to get this keg into a 6pack before i can even think of taking the shirt off in public!! dammit man, damn u all!!, pretty mofos!!)
Wow that's quite a list! Happy 2005 to you ej! :)
Happy New Year!!! Uhhh.. when was the last time you purchased new dress shoes? Do I feel a shopping bonanza coming on? Not like last time we hit the shoe store... I'm making sure my purchases are in-state now. Why didn't see "skydive again" on that list???
#57 - you are one brave soul (oh dayum, maybe that's just my exes...)
#67 - I promise to come and bring you hot meals & water...this alone will probably take about 10.1 days straight without you leaving the house...lol
#27 - take me with you!!!
Bernie and Bernard....okay, alright! Modified #15.
sky dive in NYC --isn't that dangerous? Nice list though--I really should do make a list and stick to it!
I REALLY like your page! I was immediately drawn to the peaceful moon pic. Have a Happy New Year, and I came by way of Lis' page.
You should list your goals on 43things.com. Some reason why:
1. You'll be able to connect with people doing the same goals, and people who have done these goals will be able to help you.
2. 43things has a cool feature that lets's you post from their site straight into your MT installation! So if you set up another blog for your goals you can post updates in both places without a second thought
3. There's rss feeds for each goal you create, allowing friends to keep up with something specific you are doing.
4. It's a cool site and the newest toy for web geeks.
So ... how goes it? (And let me know what you want me to do to get your help with my #24.)
