Hello regular readers (or I'm sure you will be after you read my first post).
My name is Kyle and I've decided to both write, and then blog, about my 'nifty fifty'. I have highlighted 50 things that I would like to achieve this year (49 now though, mind you!). I feel all of these ambitions are realistically achievable, and I'll be mildly cross with myself if I don't at least give this a right good bashin'.
I might as well get right to it, and post my 50. Some of them will challenge me, not because of the difficulty, but because I might just simply run out of time.
1) Join the gym
2) Run 10k on the treadmill without having to 'power walk'
3) Finish All the Ice and Fire books again
4) Watch the entire first season of Pokemon, for nostalgia purposes
5) Don't gamble for an entire month (from the 1st to the 30/31st of any given month)
6) Get a promotion/payrise at work
7) Lose a stone in weight (I'm currently 14 stone at the moment)
8)Watch all 265 films eligible for an Oscar in 2012
9) Read the Stieg Larsson trilogy
10) Read all 7 Harry Potter books (excluding the shite) again
11) Complete Dragon Warrior Monsters
12) Visit Upton Park for any championship/premiership match
13) If both still in the Championship next season, go to the West Ham vs Millwall game. If not, West Ham vs Spurs
14) Go to McDiarmid Park as a visiting supporter, as I've never been in the away stand for a game before
15) Apply for a game show
16) Apply for big brother
17) Attend 10 straight St Johnstone matches
18) Go shopping with my girlfriend on a Saturday afternoon whilst Saints are playing and DON'T complain about it
19) Go down to Bristol City to cheer on Derek McInnes
20) Go down to Bolton to cheer on Owen Coyle (if he's still there!)
21) Clean the entire house without having to be asked to do so
22) Get back in touch (and regularly visit) my best friend from high school
23) Not to argue with my mother when she talks about how great the SNP are, even if it's just once.
24) Apply for graduate schemes, on the off chance they're desperate enough to take me on!
25) Track my family heritage back at least a few generations
26) Complete an entire season on FIFA 12
27) Take a team from division 3 to the SPL on Football Manager 12
28) Go back to uni to do a post-grad in journalism
29) Order something completely new from a restaurant
30) Attend a Queens Park game
(31) Play 5-a-sides regularly
32) Attend a Scotland match
33) Give to charity
34) Watch the Star Wars films
35) Go to see a famous comedian live
36) Attend 5 music gigs this year
37) Eat a satsuma a day for a month
38) Give money to a charity
39) Enter a pool competition
40) Visit the highlands/islands
41) Write a short story
42) Go to the cinema for the first movie and don't leave until after the last showing
43) Attend a cricket match
44) Attend an Oympic event
45) Take absolutely NO sick days at work
46) Give us fizzy juice for 3 months
47) No alcohol for a month
48) Be part of a play, whether it's on or off stage
49) Keep in better touch with my family
50) Always try to see the positive in everything
The good news for me is that I've already done number 1, I'm making a right go at number 49 and I'm well on my way with some of these (particularly the Oscars one - I'm 112 or 113 deep at this moment in time, so nearly half way there!
Wish me luck, I'm sure I'll need it to reach all 50
