It Begins

So my friend Vitka has a t-shirt with this logo on it. 

We once discussed whether it was an image meant to amuse or whether it is some sort of a statement about society's disdain of anything less than perfect beauty. Vitka mentioned that the shirt had confused a man she was dating.

"Why," he said, "Would the rhino want to be a unicorn? Why doesn't she just want to be a better rhino?"

"He just doesn't get it, " Vitka told me then.

"True," said I, "Because it's never about being a better rhino."

I had thought at the time that this was a kick-ass name for something.  A band? A blog? I didn't know.  Yesterday I stumbled across a project called 101 goals in 1001 days and I thought - There it is, the perfect use for the rhino blog.

My blogging purpose:  To make a list of 101 goals that I'd like to try and complete within the next 1001 days and then write about it as I work to cross each goal off the list.  Will I go all the way?  I dunno - life has a habit of getting in the way of ambitious plans.  But I've started - and that's half the battle, right? 

Let's face it - I'll never be a unicorn. And that's ok - I'll settle for just being a better rhino.
