101 in 1001.

Have you ever heard of the Day Zero Project?  I have always wanted to compile my own bucket list.  However, it seems kind of unreasonable at this point in my life to assemble such a list for my entire life.  Most likely, I will forget about it when I turn 24 (I have a fantastic memory) and nothing will ever be accomplished.  So how about this... 101 things to do in 1001 days.  Since I am starting today (June 8,2011), my list should be completed by March 5, 2014.  Wow, that seems like a long, long time.  I know that it will fly by, and this should inspire me to do some pretty cool things in the next 2.75 years.
