101 things to accomplish in 1001 days

*update 9.4.09*
Okay, so a few weeks ago I stumbled upon this website [ Day Zero Project ] and it challenges people to create a list of 101 things they want to accomplish within 1001 days [yes, one thousand and one]. After a lot of thinking and finally completed my list, and even went a little beyong 101 things! It seems like a fun type of challenge thats motivating me [or any individual] to get certain goals accomplished! I hope I can kick procrastination to the curb and ful-fill eveything in this list!

**I may add new things to the list as I realize new things i want to do. I will also post pics of various tasks when they are completed
