.. the list ..

so lately as i spend my mornings catching up on my reading of blogs and the news and what not, i have come across quite a few people making a "list" of things they want to accomplish before their birthdays. now those who know me, i set goals but it takes me literally way longer than normal to accomplish them. i am not a good motivator for myself on some things. so i thought, hum.. i think i could do this birthday thing if i kept my goals little and tangible. so here are my goals to finish by the time i turn 27..
