About My Project

The Mission:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.

The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on your part).

Why 1001 Days?
Many people have created lists in the past - frequently simple goals such as new year's resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.

Website Info:
This website is simple to navigate around. To view my 101 Goals list, click here. When I complete a task in full or in part (such as visiting one state instead of 50 as a whole), I will make a new post. The posts can be viewed by clicking on the task/book/movie/state. I will describe in detail how and when the task was completed as well as throw in some comments about its difficulty or lack thereof.

Taste of Chaos

Today was the Rockstar Energy Drink-sponsored concert starring Taste of Chaos. There were many bands there including Saosin, The Used, 30 Seconds to Mars, and a bunch of other ones. It sounds like a great event, but, to the contrary, it was virtually a waste of time. The event was advertised to end at ten pm, when, in fact, 30 Seconds to Mars didn't start playing until ten. Boo! This band really is the only reason I wanted to go. I had to be home at a certain time so I wouldn't have been able to see them. In addition, there were no signs that displayed or people that knew which band was playing where or when. So, my accomplice and I watched three various bands that neither of us recognized at the Rave. Then we got kicked out because they closed down the Rave in order to make everyone go upstairs into the Eagle's Ballroom. There we slid about on the beer-soaked floors and breathed in the wonderful tobacco-filled atmosphere. There was not an area in the building where one was permitted to sit and there were still five hours before 30 Seconds to Mars would begin playing. We were also very hungry. There was no food there, carry-ins are not allowed, and if you leave you can't come back. So, needless to say, we left. We had dinner at Culver's and that is the end of the Taste of Chaos concert. I didn't take any pictures this time. It was quite a disappointment. I did see those three unknown-to-me bands, however. The tickets were quite expensive for my pocketbook and I will be cautious with attending an event like this again.

Stay classy, fellow bloggers.
