For the most part I have never been able to maintain a personal blog because I find them quite narcissistic. There are billions of people in this world, and who am I to think anyone will want to read about my life. Even my most exciting adventures can easily be paled by almost anyone. So instead I've decided to devote some time to the lives of the 100 most influential people in my life (a-la-Time Magazine-style).
Over the years I have encountered more people than I can recall, and some I may not even remember. There are a handful though that have influenced my life and have such interesting stories they should be shared or at least archived for my sake. Names have been changed or omitted, so future employers/spouses/stalkers can remain blissfully unaware of some of our shenanigans.
My goal is to finish the stories of these 100 people in the next 3-4 years. Many already have small vignettes written about them stored on some computer/external hard drive/journal, but updating their stories will be fun! Note the number assignment is rather arbitrary, as only number ONE is really significant.
One day I'd like to look back and see if the lessons I've learned have truly been applied, and if I too can influence just a small handful of people.

Vignettes of 100 people who have influenced my life or done something worth mentioning. Some for the better and some for the worse. I believe our paths crossed for a reason and here are our stories. May a small part of our lives be immortalized in cyberspace.

i support that idea!
i was thinking of making one more in relation to my studies and other readings...but ....i admit..there is TOO MUCH info at the SAME time....and then by the end of the day...i get tired...lol
Wow, you really got me thinking... (mostly about the number of influential people in my life) I think I don't have anywhere close to 100, maybe 15-20 tops, counting family.
Nonetheless, that's an awesome idea for a blog. I guess the other good thing is that you can always add more people (up to 100) as you meet them :P
