101 things in 1001 days.

So, I was kind of nervous starting a new blog. I mean, how do you get a glimpse of a person's personality enough to see if their blog is something worth reading?

I stumbled across Mackenzie Horan's "101 in 1001" blog post, which inspired me to write my own. I figure that if I tell you some of my (relatively) short term goals and dreams, you will have some insight into who I am and what I want out of life.
