For the next three years I can’t even dare to say that I’m bored or have nothing to do with my life. I was up late last night, basically surfing the web and reading weblogs, which have mutated and spread faster than nuclear cockroaches. Anyways, I ran across this website by this kid who’s doing a 101 things in 1001 days. I read through his lists and other webloggers lists, and felt inspired. I was beginning to feel like my life had come to a dramatic halt, that I was in a rut, going out four or five times a week, which meant four five times a week hangovers. I was beginning to feel like that life had gotten boring, that I didn’t want or felt moved by anything until I put my 101 things in a 1001 days list together. On paper, I was reminded that I still had dreams, that there were so many things I still wanted to do, that there was a life out there for me waiting to be re-discovered. I guess suicide will have to be put off another 3 years. I’m going to complete everything on my list. It’s like I’m going on a scavenger hunt for my life.
