Hells Bells!
On December 18th 2007 I'm going to be 40!
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Well, yes actually.
I've decided to do something about it.
or rather 40 things, hence 40by40, catchy title eh?
I'm open to suggestion, in fact thats half the point of this Blog, for people to suggest things, and the other half is for me to do them and blog the results.
You can email me at serpentoflight@gmail.com to leave a suggestion and read this site from time to time to see what i've done, How i did it - hopefully with pictures as "evidence".
Initially, i'll be be trying stuff suggested by 'friends' as well as anything on here that catches my eye, my friends are pretty inventive. i'll also be using them as witnesses, and as co-participants...if they are brave/stupid/worthy enough to join in.
I'm hoping you should be able to see what else people have suggested I do.
Rules, there HAVE to be rules. Or at least some guidelines.
1) Anything suggested HAS to be legal.
2) ..er...thats about it.
That said....Things to remember when suggesting things:
1)I'm married, and don't want to end up divorced.
2)I'm a 19st. pretty unfit, bald headed and not terribly rich.
3)I'm based in the West Midlands, near Birmingham UK. Petrol is expensive.
4)I hate heights, flying, corned beef, birmingham city f.c, exercise,violence and bad beer.
5)I'm cool with having serious and fulfilling experiances as well as rude, funny and plain crazy! (about a 50/50 split would be right)
and finally:It has to be something I'VE NEVER DONE BEFORE. Ever.
I reserve the right to edit, delete and/or not publish any suggestions. So suggesting "Lose some weight you fat B**" wont make it onto this blog.
I will show a list of "been there, done thats" as/if suggestions come in, so it may be worth reading that list before you suggest something.
If I choose to try your suggestion,and i have your email address, I'll drop you and short email to say thanks and approximately when the results of it will appear on here.
As a serious point. I realy would like to achieve 40 new things by the deadline.
I want to feel challenged, even if its only mildly. I want to sit down at the end of an 'experiance day', in one piece, with a pint of of ale and some friends and be able to say "I've done something for the first time today".
ADDED BIT
So far (Its June Now) I've got a list of 30 or so things... they'll start happenig this summer, as soon as i can drag a few people along... Oh yes! I'm not doing some of them alone!
