100 things to do in 2014

Well I bloody smashed this one at last count I got over 2700 points! I know karma points are a fairly arbitrary thing and likely mean nothing to anyone here but this is something I never thought would be possible!

Anyway’s I posted a video of Richards companies new documentary following Johnny Benjamin’s search for ‘Mike’, the guy who literally saved his life and brought Johnny back from the edge of suicide – here’s a link to the Reddit article and a picture of my awesome achievement below!

Great day!!

Well, this was a very impromptu tick for the second thing on the list. This time it was much more exciting than just getting my driving licence sorted.

Late Friday evening (24.01.14) Kirsty B thought it would be a great idea to try  and tick #14 off the list. At first I was skeptical that we would have enough time to do a lap and get the last tube home. But we totally managed it and it was amazing fun – you can watch our adventures below.

Big thanks to KB for her energy and photography skills!

2 down – 98 to go!

I have made some progress this week which is always good and have managed to tick off my first thing from the list – as I had feared it is #89 sort out my driving licence (which I know is pretty lame thing to do first). Do note that it has taken me 2 years to get the thing sorted and it now means I can drive a camper van when I head out to Oz in 2 weeks.

Progress on other things from the list:

#40 Beard for a month –  As you can see from the above is coming on nicely and only have another 2 weeks and then I can tick that one off.

#39 / #76 –  My juggling continues to improve I think much to the annoyance of my housemates as i practice in the living room, but I think I will soon be able to check this one off – will post a video of that one in due course

#36 solve a rubiks cube – Well depending on how you read this one I have actually completed this (see below). However I did follow a help guide which I think doesn’t count. Anyway’s I have decided that to fully complete this one I have to be able to solve it without the guide so am committing the guide to memory.

#82. 100 push ups in one go – #83. 100 sit ups in one go – I am working on ouuusshhh!!

That’s it for today but keep checking back for updates.

Keep it dusty…

Hello world!

I have set myself another ridiculous challenge this year, this time it’s 100 random things to tick off my bucket list.

You can check out the list here and I will be updating the blog with the ups down ins and outs of my progress throughout the year. I am hoping doing so will tick off #19 – keep a diary for 2014.

It’s going to be a long year but I am hopeful that this challenge will keep me on my toes.

Many of the long game items on the list are already underway.

#10 – Read a book on greek Mythology  – I am halfway thorough a book.
#40 – Grow a beard and keep it for a month – already – 11 days in!
#46 – I’ve bought a Rubiks cube and I’m working hard to solve it – damn it’s difficult
#39 – Finish learning how to juggle sticks – is going quite well.
#78 Learn 3 new juggling tricks – is well underway
#89 – Sort my driving licence out -it’s sent off in the post but I hope this isn’t the first one I complete otherwise that would be lame!

Bring it on!
