It's Over
Hey! I know I haven't posted on here in awhile, I think i bit off more than I could chew. When I first started this blog I had certain goals like "take a picture everyday of something that makes you happy". When I first had this goal it was summer and I had no problem taking my camera everywhere and posting pictures all the time, but now that school has started I have become so busy that I usually rush out of the house without my camera. On top of that taking 1001 photos in all is very daunting and scary and is not something I could ever keep up with. So I'm going to start over! I'm stopping my day zero project. I'm going to restart it though. Starting January 1st, 2010 and I'm going to have a whole new list (I'll keep some of my current goals). I just need a fresh start. I will also most likely start a word press instead. I'll post the link when I get it.

Number 18 Update
18. Cook my way through my Dessert cookbook (inspired by Julie/Julia yes) [2/138]
So here is yet another recipe. I really need to pick up the pace if I want to finish this goal. The cake itself is the actual recipe from the book "yellow butter cake" but I decided to change the filling and icing. Instead of filling and icing with a boring normal butter cream I decided to spice it up. The filling is a mixture of raspberry jam, butter, and powdered sugar to make a raspberry creme, then the i made a cream cheese icing for the outside. Looks delicious right?

Number 1 Update
1. Sketch an idea for a tattoo
So this is my idea for a tattoo. It's a Korean proverb that means, Even if the sky falls on you, there is a hole from which you can escape. That's about all i have figured out. I kind of what an image to go with it, but I don't have one in mind yet so thats how it's going to stay for the time being, I also don't know where I want to get it so I better figure that out. It is probably going to be awhile before this translates into #2 because I definitely need some money to get it done.

58. Create a Twitter
Okay. I honestly never really wanted to have a twitter. I thought it was the dumbest idea I've ever heard of. All these people of youtube have one and they are always pleading with people to follow its become a mantra for these people. I finally got one though. If anyone wants to follow me go to twitter.com/chuckandbeyond woo...not.
<3charles
p.s ok this sounds a bit harsh...i've actually kind of had the inkling to get a twitter for awhile now. I don't really know why. I could never really force myself to get one though...I'm actually starting to like it...damn my weak resolve.

The Day Has Arrived
The time has finally arrived for me to officially start my Day Zero Project. I have been watching this day inch closer on my calendar. I have been waiting with mixed emotions. I'm afraid that I won't finish half of the things on my list...I'm afraid of failure. All my life I have procrastinated. I have always started and finished my projects, essays, powerpoints, debates, etc. the day before, and more frequently the day they are due. That is not something I can do with this list. I decided to take on this project to learn something from it. I need to know how to manage my time and accomplish things that matter to me. I started this list so I could finally feel like life is worth something. I started this list so I can prove to myself that I can finish something. I just hope that I can finish what I started for once in my life.
