Day Zero Project

Alright, the Day 0 project works like this:  You make a list of 101 things you want to do, and then you have 1001 days to do them (roughly 2.75 years).  This gives you plenty of time to get stuff in order, and a little breathing room.  After I read about the Day 0 project, I jumped all over it.  Spent roughly 4 days putting together my list of 101 things I want to do.  I'll be periodically updating with which goals I completed and a little blurb about them.

(As of January 1st, 2011 I started my project.  I will have all my goals done by: Saturday September 28th, 2013)
