#26 Turn off my cell phone/computer for a week

I opted for the former of the two, because I just love blogging and social media too much to give up.

And so I galavanted all over the island of Manhattan, sans-cell phone.

See above.

15 down, 86 to go.

#2 Travel to New York

New York has been successfully travelled by yours truly.

And what an experience. My mom, sister and I crammed as much site-seeing into our six-day trip as we did delicious food into our stomachs.

We saw the Guggenheim, MoMA, the Met and the Museum of Natural History. We went to the top of the Empire State Building, Top of the Rock, the World Trade Centre site, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Coney Island, Brooklyn, Greenwich Village, the Chelsea Market, SoHo, NoHo, Little Italy, NoLita, Canal Street and Times Square, where we were staying.

We saw Daniel Radcliffe in How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and shopped until we could shop to more. My sister and I danced on the famous piano in FAO Schwarz, and dared to enter Barney's, where your average sweater costs over a thousand dollars.

That is a lot of site-seeing, and a lot of food. To see two posts dedicated to the trip, see my personal site.

14 down, 87 to go.

My Mission

101 things in 10 years.

I have created a list of 101 things I want to do in the next 10 years. The idea came when I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. Together with my friend Josh Saggau, we both came up with our own personal 10 year lists with important tasks we hope to accomplish. It was a realization that it didn't matter so much what I did WITH my life, but what I did IN my life. The list is in no particular order and no one task is more important than the other. Any tasks that I can't accomplish in the 10 years will simply be the start of my subsequent 10 year list. I will try to record what I can of my accomplishments with pictures and blog posts. More for personal reflection that anything else. It should be a great adventure. All I can think of now is this: tomorrow is the first day of my ten years, tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life.
