What is This? (Fourth Year - Age 30)

Here's the low-down:

When I turned 30 (June 25th 2017) I decided to try a fourth project.

Like the second and third project, this one also didn't happen as planned.


In fact, this page is the only evidence of it since I tried to start a whole new site and quit after I got appendicitis In October of that year. I will not tell you where it is. It is a testament to my deepest shame so I locked it in an internet basement, never to return.

But I did do a few fun things if you're interested!

-Gave up candy

-Ran 444.08 miles
-Drank 427 alcoholic drinks
-Fasted from the following things (in number of days. The goal was 150 for each)
    Internet (Junk and news sites) - 170
    TV - 119
    Video Games - 140
    Coffee - 143
    Alcohol - 162
    Junk Food (processed) - 151
-Finished reading my age in number of books. 30 again this year!
