introduction!

Welcome!! This is my blog to follow my Goal of getting 365 X-Box 360 Achievements in 2010. The Goal of one a day is a target, of course I have other things that I am responsible for so I may not be able to play X-box every day. To address this problem I am only using one a day as a target. If I can load up on a few in one day that will cover not being able to play for actually get an achievement on another day. I will strive to get 7 achievements in a week. I will try to post updates every day or so with what games I am was playing and what Achievements I received. If anyone wants to play along please comment or post. This should be fun!

Here's a little data on where I stand with Achievements at the start of this challenge.

Xbox ID: TLee413
Gamer Score: 8,504
Games played: 32
