THE 730 BLUEPRINT

A His/Her "Project 365"



Let's try this again as my e-mail from bed didn't seem to work...


Today has been quite a useless day to be honest; have spent most of it quite unwell. So today's picture is about the cross that hangs on my door... For two reasons; the first being that it resembles part of my Halloween costume from last year... the second is that I saw sister act tonight. I will follow him, wherever he may goooo...

Happy Halloween all. *cough*

Today i worked all day at my "day job" which is in an indie record store, LOVE it! hehe
The absolute highlight of my day was picking up the Motley Crue book that i had on layby, woo..and thats what my pic is of today, its a picture of some pictures of Nikki Sixx and Mick Mars.. cos they kick major arse. And i have painting to do so i am going to love ya and leave ya ;-) Rock on!

Okay, so this may be technically an hour and 45 minutes late, but it's technically still my Friday night so it still counts!


This is my special bandanna that I bought today on my way to work as a part of National Bandanna Day. It copped many remarks. Some good, some not so good. Let's see what tomorrow has in store shall we?

Day 2, and a slightly less rushed entry from me as i actually remembered to allow myself time to get this done. I'm sure i'll adjust to posting here everyday after a while. A year is a long time tho, so this is going to be a challenge, thats one of the things i love about the idea! I'm not the best at committing to things! but i am determined to stick this out. I'm sure looking back over all the photos and entries will be a blast, i also think its going to be alot of fun to see the different paths C and i's lives take us on over the next 12months and the differences in out posts on a day to day basis!





Anyway, getting down to biz-nizz.. Today was the first day of the warmer months where it was a hot enough day to swim AND my pool was actually swimmable! So when i got home from the gym this morning i went for a dip with the dogs; my family has an 8yr old german shepherd x named bandit (who should be named houdini for his yard escaping skills), and i have a gorgeous 1yr old english staffy named izzy who i bought last december when i was living out of home. She is THE greatest dog ever! She seemed to think that i was in danger of drowning in the pool today and tried to pull me out by my swimming costume, twice!
And now, i am listening to the doors and killing time before i go to work, which by night is as a starbucks barista. So rock n' roll..


Oh, you may also notice that i like to title my blogs with lyrics from/titles of songs that dont necessarily always have anything to do with the blog itself (but sometimes they do) so yeah, enjoy that! (you may even catch the odd movie quote up there hehehe)

Well here we go, Day one! a VERY interesting picture, of my breakfast..some lovely gluten free cereal with soy milk! Yummo! I eat the same thing for breakfast almost everyday, as my options are limited and this actually is quite tasty. 
You'll have to excuse the shortness of this post but i am in a HUUGE hurry to get to work, wanted to do a lil more of an intro to me thingo today but time ain't on my side. So. Don't forget, breakfast IS the most important meal of the day!! ;-)

Day 1 of what will prove to be one of the longest commitments that I have ever made in my 22 years of life so far. My first image is of one of my favourite books; Wisdom by Andrew Zuckerman. It says a lot about me as a person, and what I think THE 730 BLUEPRINT will do for me over the next twelve months.


Whenever I seek inspiration on mornings such as this one, I tend to turn to two groups of people; one who's actions speak louder than words, and the other who captivates audiences in the form of words. This particular book does both. Whenever I start off on a project I tend to look at this book, and it reminds me that individuals truly can make a difference and that the benefits that you reap from wisdom is invaluable. The only person who can stop you from achieving what you want from life... is yourself. 


There is no doubt about it, my life over the next 12 months is going to change. Dramatically. I can't wait to look back on this in a year and see exactly what has happened in picture form. And I hope you enjoy looking at this journey just as much as I do.

So... after being educated about the wonders of project 365, we have decided to do our own. But better. I'm not sure if we can claim that right this second... but give us some time; we may just construct something of interest yet!


Who are we? We are two 22 year olds. C, a man who's just crossing something else off of his to do list after random inspiration to do a joint blog, and M, a woman of great prestige and knowledge of project 365 who popped the idea with a 'hey I have an awesome idea' SMS and wouldn't accept no for an answer... or a delayed response either for that matter.


Over the next 365 days we can pretty much guarantee that our lives are going to change, but in completely different ways, and for completely different reasons, as we are two completely different people. And there's the fun! (She says pointing her finger at the laptop with such enthusiasm)


So tomorrow, Thursday 29 October 2009, we begin... 







C&M

2 Friends. 2 Lives. One project.

Him: "C", A 22yr old billing analyst/e-mag producer who's ambition in life is to change the world one step at a time... but only when there isn't a scary thunderstorm outside.

Her: "M", A 22yr old behavioural studies student/record store clerk/barista. Currently residing in her very own swingin' bachelorette pad, formerly known as her parents garage. A self-proclaimed lone wolf, with a love for many things "pop culture" and all things ryan adams.

An unlikely friendship forged in the 9th grade, over a shared dissent for (and ill-acceptance within) the social institution that is the high school experience.
A friendship and affinity for each other that holds strong to this day, and let's face it, is probably the only thing we have in common.
This is our version of project 365; one photo a day (each) for a year...
