| The Beginning.... |

| Every story has a beginning and this is the start of mine. Late one Wednesday evening in September I made a major life decision. Something had to change. Its not like i was unhappy but i was bored and I need prompting into doing something and getting out of the routine I'd found myself in. I posted the following on to MySpace... |

Ok then, so I've been thinking lately and I'm bored. Even though I love my life, I love my friends, and I love my job, I'm really starting to feel like something is missing. If I rewind my life by 2 years then very little has changed. I'm finally getting to a point where the DIY is almost done, the gardens useable, and my beer belly is getting way to big. I'm getting settled down even though I don't have anyone to settle with, & I turn down opportunities just becuase its easier to accept the simple quiet life. So I've decided that I need something to do, I need some goals, and I plan on starting now. I don't want to do anything life changing like fuck off to the other side of the world and hunt crocodiles, or join the mafia, or pierce wierd parts of my anatomy just because I can. I do however want to do things that will make my life a bit more interesting and hopefully make some of my friends lives a bit more interesting to.
Right then, so here's the plan. I have 10.5 months until my 29th birthday, and between now and then I want to do 50 things that will hopefully change my life for the better and give me some interesting stories to tell the grandkids (ok, I'll worry about finding a suitable wife later, for now I'll stick with my 50 things). Trouble is I'm struggling to think of what those things should be. There are some things I've always wanted to do since I was young and they've always been put off just cos its easier to go the meg and drink a bottle of disco piss than it is to actually do something useful.
My list is looking a bit pitiful at the moment, so I want your suggestions. Please please help make my life more interesting by coming up with a few idea's for me. Let me point out however that money is limited, I have no desire to get arrested, and I'm not going to have a tatoo. Feel free to give me any other serious
suggestions tho.
So here's my list, like I said at the moment its pretty dull.
1. Visit stone henge (wanted to when I was 10 but never have)
2. Go skinny dipping.
3. Appear on TV (ok, so I've already acheived this one but appearing as a dot in the background of Pop Idol doesn't count - & no I wasn't auditioning)
4. Visit Loch Ness. Another thing I wanted to do as a kid
5. Kiss a girl who I truely think is stunning, not just some dog in a club.
6. Lose the beer gut
7. Learn to cook
8. Go camping
9. Climb a mountain (not Everest or anything, but something in this country. Ok so Mountains not the right word, how about big hill. Not sure why but people seem to do it & enjoy it so I should probably give it a try).
10. Re-enact the chariot scene from Ben Hur with Supermarket trolleys (Ok, I stole this one off the internet while looking for inspiration but it sounds fun).
11. Enter a competition that requires me to compete in some way
12. Watch Liverpool from the Kop.
13. Eat everything on the BBC's 50 things to eat before I die list
14. Meet someone I met on the Internet in real life. (any offers on this one will be useful please?)
15. Go to a live comedy gig
16.Buy a stranger in a pub a drink
17. Drunkenly watch the sun come up with friends and a bottle.
Right so like I said my current list of 17 items is pretty shit, so please help me come up with some more. Even though my current things don't sound too exciting I'm hoping they'll lead on to bigger and better things. I'll keep my progress up to date on this page. I plan on randomly doing one of the things on my list this weekend.
Please post your suggestions by replying to this bulliten, emailing me at ecke@yahoo.co.uk or leave a message on my MySpace page.
Cheers
