Resolutions, changes and mixing things up
After a couple of crap months for me in what has been a mediocre at best 2010, things seem to be slowly sorting themselves out. I won’t go into the details of stuff but lets just say a bunch of stuff that I didn’t want to happen did, and load of stuff I wanted to happen didn’t, all quite closely together after a long slow start to the year.
Waiting for ideas
Things are looking up though, and after several conversations with people and sorting out a few things I’ve decided to resurrect my New Years resolution from 2004 for 2011. It’s a simple principle and should hopefully prove fun. the principle…
Do something brand new I’ve never done before each month.
I’ll be writing up these things as I go, sharing the planning and the results but before I start the first thing in January I need to work out at least some of the things I’m going to do, I want some of the things to be sporadic and unplanned as that should be part of the fun but a small amount of preparation will no doubt be needed for some of the things.
This is where you come in, hopefully there are some of you out there that have done some odd and amazing things in the past or have some skill or talent in something that you think you could teach me or an opportunity that you think I should get involved with
in 2004′s resolution I did some simple things and some fun things. Below is some of the things I tried to give you an idea of what I am trying to achieve.
January – Got my first Tattoo
February – Did proper painting on Canvas (I still have some of them)
March – Went to New York
April – Driving a racecar (single seater) around Brands Hatch
May – Speed Dating
June – Bungee Jump
July – Proper Barbers cut throat shave
August – Played in a band (Well as the”Bez” character, also whilst dressed as Jimmie Krankie – don’t ask) & went wine tasting
September – Customised clothing
October – ? I think this was cooking fish for the first time
November – ? I can’t remember this one
December – Dance Lessons (Rock&Roll/Jive type stuff)
You may notice that October and November are sort of absent, my mind has gone a little blank on these, I think October was the cooking month and November has perplexed me. I tried the wayback archive and I only have 2 blog post title for those months however it didn’t actually archive those pages. Octobers was titled “Who needs Gordon f*****g Ramsey” so I’ve failry sure I got that right. Novembers was titled “Shape and Form” and it has really drawn a blank so if anyone who knows me from back then can remember then please let me know!
So, with a couple of months to go and some planning already started, I want to go to Australia in March for a Wedding (never been to Oz) but without taking out a loan (done that before!) it’s not really looking possible (unless some strange benefactor decides to give me a load of money for no reason or I win the lottery) so the 12 months of 2011 are open for suggestions… write a comment, email me or get me on twitter and tell me your suggestions.
