Task #38, #57, and #62...Yes, Updates!

So, there are a couple of tasks on the list that I've already completed:

#38: Create a blog with an actual effort in its design and post list
Okay, this one is an obvious one...but it gave me hell. Took me TWO weeks to get this page up! Why, you ask? Oh, that's just because I'm completely ignorant of basic java script and coding, that's all. But, I'm good now...still learning, but good. Eventually I'll be adding a couple of pictures and possibly some music through podcasting.

#57: Buy a nice digital camera

This is the little guy that I purchased from Circuit City (but in red). The Casio EX-Z75 w/ 7.2 Mega pixels. According to the store and reviews he is supposed to be a pro at what he does, and I'm sure he would be...IF HIS DAMN BATTERY WOULD WORK! Anxious to play with my new toy I earnestly unwrapped the package...albeit a tad disappointed because I had been beckoned to the industrial hell hole for mandatory overtime. So, I threw the battery on its charger and headed to work. Upon my return home, I grabbed the battery and shoved it in the camera (yes, I know, a bit overeager) only to be shocked that the screen remained blank. Like any typical disgruntled customer I jumped in my small, yet impressively fuel efficient Japanese car and angrily drove to Circuit City intent on exchanging the camera (without unloading a barrel of profanities of course). After dealing with a couple of apathetic store associates, I headed home. And guess what?!!!!!! The same thing happened with the new camera!!! Argh, the good news though is that the tech support was surprisingly congenial and had a new battery shipped to my home. Therefore, no beautiful pictures of moi until the middle of next week. Sorry ladies...

#62: Buy a wireless router that actually works



Technology abounds in my household! The old Netgear that I had was complete and utter garbage...so I switched to the Rangebooster G Router WBR-2310. This baby had some pretty good reviews and so far has been working nicely. Great addition to the family I'd say!

Embark On A Journey Of Self Discovery, Shall We?!

Ahhh, the sweet smell of inspiration makes life worth living! Through some web surfing I came across "Day Zero", which is a website created by the inventor of the "101 in 1001 days" craze. The exhilaration that rushed through my veins as I browsed through the various lists was literally overwhelming. Oh the joy and impatience I experienced! So, through many bouts with web jargon and time constraints I finally came up with the list to the left. True, I've a few frivolous tasks on my list such as #89 or #106, but the majority of my tasks have an actual purpose. Wha'?! #54 has a purpose beyond that of being flashy? Why yes, a lot of the items can be grouped into 3 categories--regaining confidence, creating a pleasing family environment, and stretching myself to overcome fears and be a more well rounded, interesting person. You'll discover that I've chosen 6 weeks as the duration of many items on the list. To be brief, the explanation is that I'm an firm believer that it takes no less than 3 weeks to break a bad habit and 3 weeks to build a new one to replace it. Also, some may seem impossible for a young college student to accomplish, particularly the ones that involve large amounts of money. I agree with that, but I tend to see it this way:

So, let's get to it, yes?
