Update/realisation

I haven't posted anything in ages so i thought id better post now while i have time and im on holidays.

Ah a quick note on some of these goals - im unable to complete them, for reasons i dont really feel like typing out but these goals are: 16, 23, 50, 51, 55, 68, 70, 89, 90, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101. Sorry if i spoil anything by cutting these out.

Umm as for an update the following are the tasks ive improved on:
14. I have a new Voodoo doll - a Ninja
17. A new quote - The true test of friendship isn't making them happy when they are sad but being happy for them when you are sad.
26-28. I personally think i have improved but not by much. There's still a long way to go.
29. My goal for this has been pulled forward to June/July 2010 so i have 6 months to train for it.
30-33. These are going to be a part of the above goal which will start in January of 2010.
44. made 1982 texts in 1 billing
46. I bought 3 new games off the Xbox live marketplace. They are - Braid, Geometry Wars Retro-Evolved 2 and N+ (otherwise known as ninja training)
66. An increase of 17:50:35
73. I'm not sure if i have improved or not on this one but id like to think i have.

Update

66. increased by 06:07:08 and will update after every bill

Update

17. new quote

- You can only see what you've done after you’ve done it. You might be able to predict it, but you cannot be so sure of yourself.

Update/Completion of 63 and 71

17. I came up with 2 more life quotes

- Having expectations destroys what you think is going to happen. Have nothing, expect nothing, receive nothing. That's life.

I came up with this after I became all cynical and found out I'm allergic to bees. But I did realize this is what I live by and it's a burden. The other thing I realized was that I live by this because I don't know any other way to live. This is the bad thing about being a level 6 in Kohlberg's stages of morality.

- Pain is what motivates us. It drives us in the right direction. It tells us that we're doing something wrong. But it also causes us to crash and burn. It destroys what you build, stomps on the remains and laughs in your face. Pain leads successors to succeed and failures to fail but it is your choice to either be a successor or a failure.

Again this one came to me while I was cynical but I was focusing on the pain in my left foot where the bee got me.

50. I didn't just go 1 day without technology, but 4. I went on a school camp for 3 days and then one day over the weekend. So I'm gonna save those extra 3 days as credit just in case i don't get to go a day without technology in a month.

63/70/71. I took my lovely girlfriend Alayna out to a movie and dinner last Saturday night (well rather she took me out to the movie). We went and saw Julie & Julia where we completed number 63. Kiss for 1 minute. Then after, we went to a small pasta restaurant for dinner where they had great fresh pasta but we debated over who would pay for dinner. If they took card I'd pay and get to cross off 71. Take her out for dinner, if not she would pay and I wouldn't be able to cross it off. Turns out they did take card and Alayna convinced me to cross out 70. Give a random gift for no reason once a month as well.

Update

17. I came up with 4/10 life quotes. Tell me what you think.

- Living in a make-believe fantasy land of your own false hopes and lies can destroy what you think is reality, and replace it with images and sounds of your own imagination, trapping you within your own mind.

- Your one true "soul mate" isn't the person who makes you feel happy all the time but the person who can make you experience every feeling and stick by you while feel them.

- It's not until you've been through the extreme low of life that you can really appreciate what life give you.

- The physical scars of bullying can heal with ease; It's the mental scars that need the attention.

Completion: Task 86

Ok, today (well technically yesterday now) I successfully completed

task no. 86: Cliche' a movie in real life.

This happened during the annual kite festival while the fireworks were

MENT to be going off. But obviously they didn't. But the moment that

we lived out was the common on the beach by the water hug and kiss

moment. Though it wasn't exactly like the movies; like people (bloody

brothers), our stuff that we later ditched, and the artificial lighting. I

would classify it as a cliche'.

As much fun as it was, movies give unrealistic hopes and almost never

work out, but if I encounter another moment that happens to cliche' a

movie and is better that this, ill post that one as well.

Until next time

Update

So today was the first of my 1001 days to complete my 101 goals. (It was also my brothers birthday today, happy birthday kyle!) But I did get some progress done on my list;

4. I have downloaded a tutorial guide to help

58. I started to draw a picture of a girl alone in the woods which represents loneliness

66. was increased by 2:50:43 which means I'm now over 2/3 done
96. I have taken the first of 1001 photos

I have also come up with a couple of life quotes for 17 but have lost them in a sea of msn conversations.

Until next time
