I’ve Got Big Plans

January 26, 2009

My friend at No Use For A Headline has set a few goals for himself – 101 goals, actually.  These goals are of the self-improvement variety (mostly).  He must complete these 101 goals in 1001 days.  After the 1001 days are up, we can presume that he will be a greater person because of it.

I’ve decided that I’m also going to do something like that.  However, unlike my lazy, clearly unambitious friend, I’m going to set 101 goals in 1000 days.  Only chumps need an additional 24 hours to accomplish 101 goals.

Here’s a sampling of what I intend to accomplish over the next 1000 days (not 1001, because I’m better than that):

-Goal #39: Go to Taco Bell.
-Goal #11: Sleep for a full 24 hours.
-Goal #75: Go a full hour without saying “fuck” (a more difficult goal than you realize, considering I have a thesis to write.)
-Goal #79: Wake up before noon on a Saturday.
-Goal #23: Do laundry.
-Goal #88: Think of more goals.
-Goal #89: And write those goals down.

As you can see, I have my work cut out for me!  Actually, stay tuned.  I’m gonna do this 101 in 1000 (not 1001) for realz.

    Very ambitious, Evan. Alex can only aspire to be as successful as you someday.

    Add to that list: writing a blog post about how your friend described an epic ninja battle with a jo (yes, not bo) staff.

  2. Alex Says:

    Eff you, Serge. I’m going 999 days just for that. What’s up now?

  3. Josh Says:

    And the battle begins.

    @Alex Oh it’s on. 998 days, 1002 goals. @Josh What’s a jo staff?

  5. Josh Says:

    A shorter version of the bo staff, used instead for its similarities to a sword and its excellent disarming capabilities.

    I’m betting Alex, even though I don’t know him. :) Evan’s just too lazy!

    Meghan, if you don’t support me in my race to finish my goals, then I’m kicking you out of the family. One day, no one will pick you up from school, and you will have to stay there forever. Your mom and dad won’t return your phone calls, and everyone will hate you.

    Now, who do you think, me or Alex?

  8. Alex Says:

    Meghan’s in your family? She is now my favorite Serge. I’ll see your 998. Let the best man (i.e., me) win.
