Introducing: Whither Goest Thou, America.

"Whither goest thou, America", is a quote from Jack Kerouac, one of my favorite authors. It comes at the end of his book, On the Road, and in full is, Whither goest thou, America, in thy shiny car in the night? I won't go into all the nuances of Kerouac's writing, at least not right here. The quote as little profound meaning, it's only a question that I think everyone asks themselves, about their own person, someone else... or the reality of life.

Okay, so today is my birthday. I am turning 28. 10 years ago, when I turned 18 (if you're struggling with the math)... I had great dreams on my horizan. A great vision of where my life would lead me and here 10 years later I am not certain whether I have accomplished my great vision of life or not. Certainly I have accomplished great things, seen much of the world (though I have plenty left to see), and made so many friends.

Now at the ripe age of 28 I am starting on a new list of accomplishments. I call it the 101 in 2. These are a list of 101 things I want to accomplish before I turn 30, or in the next 2 years. As I accomplish each of these, I will post about it on this blog.

It will broke down in the following categories:
Creative
Musical
Education
Spiritual
Travel
Health
Outdoor
Family
Green
Life Simplification
Random

Over the next week, I will post the things I want to accomplish for each section... then let the maddness begin.
