Day 100 post

I've already galloped past day 100. I wanted to post another 'hurrah look at my progress!!' post.

But here we are at day 105 or something, and I pretty much feel the same ₁…
anyhoo, in the spirit of blogin regularly, I give you this:

I haven't been able to find my bucket list (or 50 things to do before I die). However, I made it in my 20's, so it's likely I'm not going tour with Black Flag, and maybe best I let it lie.

If I find it I’ll post it for shits and giggles, but otherwise...

I give you this.. Altucher's challenge from his excellent blog 'the Confidentials'

from Ways to trick your kid into not going to college ...

“And it’s not all about money. The below challenges will make them healthier, more creative, wealthier, etc, depending on what they do. And none of the below requires that much money.

They will also have the pleasure of doing something that is utterly unique and will ultimately be considered cool or fascinating in their social group.

A) Make a youtube video (or channel) that has five million real views.
B ) Get past the second series of Ashtanga Yoga. (at least part of this has to occur in India).
C) Make a business that has over $50,000 in revenues in the 12th month.
D) Write a book (or set of books) that has more than 5000 paying readers
E) Create a blog that has over 100,000 unique monthly readers. Note: you don’t have to be the only writer on that blog.
F) Take 50 or more courses on Coursera. With me.
G) Intern with someone who is among the best in the world at what they do.
H) Organize at least 20 meetups of twenty people or more around a specific topic.
I) Run for political office and get at least 30% of the vote in a primary.
J) Have 50 people write to me explaining, in detail, how you saved their lives.”

Not a bad list to start off with…

60 day blog post

I intended to post something 60 days in, a sort of a 'hey, look how things have changed'

I'm now on day 91 for some of my day to day tasks. Soooo easy to blow by a milestone.

As they say... the hours get shorter as the time goes by...

or something like that.

It's been an interesting ride. I still have 2 or three things I haven't started that mock me each time I look to update. And the majority of what I'm focused on is health, eating, and physical stuff. Nothing that will make me a millionaire or reach enlightenment.

(note, there's always crossover between working out and spiritual with me, since I do martial arts and yoga, and spiritual and emotional since I do exercises to free the mind of emotional baggage a la buddhism)

I'm really suckin' at the idea generation. I'm pretty much faking it.

Some days I feel particularly manic, and other days lethargic. But I still get most of the day to day ablutions done...

Would love to introduce more 'meat' into my education, and mental challenges, as well as truly, truly enjoy the fun stuff in my life.

Anyway, as one of my bosses used to say, onward through the fog!
