something to bore you to death


i stole some of these goals, and i modified others. but most are my own goals and i plan on accomplishing them all. i'm going to compile a huge list of goals, and them make huge posters so i am reminded of them every day.
then, i'm going to cross them out one by one as they are accomplished, and i'm going to 
smile.
i plan on making 100+ goals and accomplishing at least 85.
