First!

As a first entry in my new blog, let me share a list (I love lists) while I come up with a better and more substantial topic for my next entry.

You can read more about each item on the list from the source of the list in the URL above. I didn't want to just simply copy and paste everything from the source into this post because I find it kind of tacky.

I especially liked numbers 1, 2, 7, and 10. Not totally sure why I do. Maybe because they apply to me? Not really. Probably more because I agree with their ideas. Yeah, something like that. In the end, I guess I like the list because it makes you think. It makes you think about yourself, what you've gone through, and the future.
