Thank you so much for your comments on the layout. I’m glad you guys liked it. Those of you who loved the illustration of the owl, that was all Brent, so credit goes to him for making it for me <3

Speaking of Brent (really this blog should just be renamed to BrentThisAndThat.com), he just wrote a post where he listed 101 things he'd like to do before he dies. I'm not as patient or creative, so I'm thinking my list will be 3/4th's of his. Here goes nothing.

  1. Become financially independent
  2. Backpack through Europe
  3. Finish College
  4. Learn how to cook a decent meal

  47. Get my palm read
  48. Ride a horse again
  49. Work, not because I have to, but because I love to
  50. Participate in a Human Rights protest

I think fifty is pretty good considering I just thought of these right now. I really want to get to 100, so I’ll most likely do a part two.

P.S. The View All Archives and View All Categories work now, I’m working on implementing a search form, and I moved the Elsewhere Links from the extras page to the links page.
