a new idea. that was old.

i found this from the charleston post and courier back in 2002. I have moved cross country. lived in probably 6 or 7 different apartments, and somehow i kept this.
so i am finally gonna do something with it. 9 years late. i found it inspiring at one point. so tomorrow my quest begins. To take each sentence and apply it to each day in a memorable way, and hopefully blog about it as well. I can be consistent. I can be consistent. I'm kind of excited.
