100th Post!

Can You Believe it?!?! It's the Sage's Hundredth post!! It's completely awesome. I can barely believe I've made 100 posts on this blog. That's a lot of writing, even though I didn't write all the posts myself(the ghost story and the posts of song lyrics being examples of posts I didn't write). Still though, it's a major milestone. To celebrate my 10th post I listed 10 sagey things. I've decided to celebrate my 100th post on this blog with a list 100 random, creepy, and cool things. In essence just random thoughts. What else is this blog for? They'll be people, places, things, events, days, quotes, whatever I feel like. Ooh, here's an idea, everybody can vote for their favorite thing in each of the categories(random, cool, and creepy), and for one that is the "most sagey" via comment, and I'll think of some way to honor the winners. Okay, down to the list:

Seven is the perfect number, but what makes a good pencil good, anyway?

That is not a vote.

You know Dom I actually did not scroll back up to see if there was a # 36. I'm just too cool that way.

And I'd have to say The Beatles are the coolest, Michael Jackson is the creepiest, and most random is goats.

Those are my votes.
