Ok, so it’s new a year, new beginnings, blah, blah, blah. Well i see it as a new year and new challenges! This year, I have set myself 25 things to do before the year is up! Ok, it’s not many but I think some of them may be quite hard.
Matt’s 25 Tasks For 2006
- Shake a celebrities hand (The more famous the more points!)
- Get my name in a newspaper (preferably national)
- Win on the lottery (added bonus if I can do it without buying a ticket!)
Try sushi (real sushi, not M&S sexed up bland rubber fish)COMPLETED!!- DJ in a club (Haven’t done that properly in a while)
- Learn to play an instrument (can restart the Cello cos I still remember it)
- Learn a new language and speak it in it’s country of origin (French and German not allowed)
- Have a poo on an aeroplane (a lower class form of the Mile High Club)
- Chat a stranger on the bus/train/plane (bonus points if I collect a phone number/email address or home address)
- Go skinny dipping (must not get arrested)
- Put the silent ‘P’ into swimming pool (bonus points for blaming it on an incontinent elderly person)
- Break the law in a novel way! (Ooo… i am feeling naughty! Must also avoid arrest)
- Do an eskimo roll in a kayak (last attempt was 2 years ago in Devon. Almost drowned)
- Text, email or call at least one person a day
- Be Barry Lovechild for a night (Live the dream!)
Get a tattoo (i hope it doesn’t hurt)- Get fat!!! (I’ve been skinny for 21 years)
Make a mix CD without any cheesey songs on it (This is the easy one, so at least I’ll have a chance of completing something on this list!)COMPLETED!!Get a 1st in my degree (best start revising for that one!)- Have an operation (Preferably nothing to serious. Also, can not be from self-inflicted injuries just to cross this off the list)
- Go on a blind date (I’ve never had one! Anyone wanna help with this one let me know. Best done whilst I’m single)
Wear pink for a day (I’m umm-ing and ahh-ing over whether a pink shirt counts. Bonus marks if hit on by a gay guy whilst wearing it. Extra bonus mark if hit on by a girl whilst wearing it)- Score a goal in a football match (Must be at least 5-a-side)
- Go on TV (Bonus marks if any of the above are completed whilst on TV)
- Make someone cry with joy! (Finish on a happy note!)
I’ve also come up with a few rules for myself to give myself a useful way to reflect on the event (what a load of crap). Here are the initial rules:
- The game starts at 00:00 1st January 2006. Any tasks completed before then are counted as practices.
- Once midnight strikes on 31 December 2006, the game is up (and I may start a new one if I had enough fun!)
- I shall keep my blog updated of all completed tasks.
- Completed tasks must have proof, e.g. photo’s, written witness statements, video footage.
- I shall also be giving myself a score out of 10 for how I well I feel I succeeded in the task at hand.
- Any task can be completed more than once.
- Combined tasks have their score combined and multiplied by the number of tasks. For example, if I were to do number 1, 8 and 24 at the same time (have a poo on a plane whilst shaking Judy Finnigans hand on TV) I would get:
- 3 x sum of points for success of each operation
If anyone else wants to have a go aswell it would be interesting to see how you do! So let me know!!! This message will self destruct in *boom*
