New Year, New Things To Do

Posted by Defender of the Universe on Jan 04 2008 | Ramblings

As is my custom, a new year requires new challenges. This year, I am challenging myself to engage and complete 12 activitives (1 per month) I’ve never done before. Photographic evidence to follow. After all if two heterosexual hot girls made out at a club and no one saw it, are they really bisexual? Hmm? Are they?

January – Eat bugs & learn how to swim. I have to learn how to swim for my May challenge anyway so I didn’t think it was fair to list that as a challenge even though technically it is. So just to push myself a bit further, I decided to stand behind my words - I’ve always told people that I’d try anything once and I’ve always encouraged my 4 yr old niece and 6 yr old nephew to try new foods. Well during a visit to a candy store in Los Gatos called Powell’s Sweet Shoppe, I came across crickets & ants & larvae. All of which made me shudder and squirm. And because of that very reaction, it’s something I know I have to do.

February – Register to be a bone marrow donor

March – Build a snowman complete with carrot nose & top hat

April – Hold a tarantula and let it crawl from one hand to another

May – Wildflower Triathlon

June – Do a 6000 piece puzzle. I’m thinking Creation of Man by Michaelangelo seen here

July – BOSS Survival School

August – Walk completely nude at a nude beach & have a picnic

Sept – Dig for clams

October - Visit New York City

November – Milk a cow. But now that everything is high-tech, I can’t imagine where I’d be able to do this in the Bay Area. Any suggestions?

December – Ride a mechanical bull

    I have a beach in my backyard.

    An inflatable pool next to a sandbox doesn’t count.

    hahaha… seriously though, this is a sweet idea. I’ll have to come up with my own list of things to do. I’ll add it to my other lists… including THE list… you know… the one of people you can sleep with without getting in trouble with your significant other.
