How it all started

Well, inspired by the book "101 things to do before you did" by Richard Horne, which I am following and tracking (mind you, there are some hard things on that list to achieve), I decided that I needed a list of things to do every year, starting in 2010. Then I thought it would be good fun to blog about doing those things. Feel free to share your experiences.

By the way, I loved the movie, The Bucket List, too. It was along a similar theme - an unexpected ending, but a great movie and very inspirational.

So, here are a list of 10 categories that I think people should do every year.

1. Travel overseas
2. Learn how to do something new (something that takes more than a week to learn)
3. Do an endurance sporting event
4. Do an extreme sport
5. Achieve an unrealistic goal
6. Meet someone famous
7. Put something on You Tube
8. Change someone's life
9. Have sex every day for a week
10. Give up alcohol for at least one month

So, for me in 2010 it will be:

1. I think it might be to Asia again, probalby after Christmas, though, definitely in 2010
2. Learn how to surf (holy crap - that sounds hard)
3. Run 100 kilometres in a day (the North Face 100 - May 2010)
4. Parachute (holy crap again)
5. Buy a General Lee (Dukes of Hazard) '69 Dodge or Valiant Charger (yee hah)
6. Meet Dean Karnazes (long distance runner)
7. Put some of my presentations on You Tube
8. Not sure who's life I will change, as yet, might be a little hard to plan that one
9. Looking forward to this one
10. Let's go for June at this stage (not that I drink much, but this is a good excuse for a cleanse)

Stay tuned.

Until next time, live life.
