I haven't visited my 101/1001 goals in a while, so it might be time for a quick peek.

• 4. Write a book. This is going to be a huge source of contention for me because I can't decide on if I should do a science fiction book or a roman à clef based on my shitty work experiences.




• 11. Develop BlackComix into more than just ideas in my head. This is actually tied into #4, the sci-fi book idea.




• 24. Stop drinking soda for a month. I'm trying, but dude…Vault is SO good! I am trying though. I usually drink a Vault then down four 12-oz. glasses of water.




• 28. Eliminate my credit card debt. T-minus $300 baby. Kids, don't sign up for credit cards in college just to get free schwag.




• 42. Launch Soapbloggers. Now, I've been sitting on this domain name now for about two years, but I realize I will need a partner if I really get it up and going. Any takers to write a dedicated multi-author blog on everything dealing with current American soap operas? I got dibs on All My Children.




• 67. Drink at least 6 glasses of water daily (8 oz.). Tied into #24.




• 72. Enlist the help of a financial advisor. Done and done — found a kick-ass one through my credit union who helped me straighten out my 401(k) monies into a conventional IRA and then opened up a separate Roth IRA as well. Also plunked some cash down into a CD to take out in five years for…well, who knows what? I'm just glad I'm starting to get these coins under control.




• 82. Learn Flash and Dreamweaver. I've pretty much got Dreamweaver under control and getting a handle on Flash. I did this little front page slideshow thing at work (sort of like Comcast.com) that went over very well. Truth be told, though, I do not like working with Flash. However, there's nary a developer job that comes through that doesn't require it.




• 86. Save $2000 or more. Tied into #72.




• 99. Crash my family reunion. I have some special plans for that. Of course, first I have to contact my estranged great aunt in Cleveland who's information I received from Death to Shakespeare. I also learned that my Uncle Buddy is rolling through the ATL for a government conference and wants to see his only nephew that's not in jail! If anything, there's a dinner at Kyma in it for me.
