:: I am driving me
I am driving me. I can be who I want to be. I can be what I want to be. There are times in our lives when we are passengers on someone else’s journey. We may think we want to head to the same destination at the time and end up going along for the ride, but the problem is that we are not driving the bus. We are merely passengers. If you are just a passenger on someone else’s bus then...
Read More#24 Run the Dyke
Since its inception the list has been moving forward slowly with some quick wins, but the time has come to up the ante and find out if I really can put my words into action. Whilst giving blood was a positive experience and making a cake was very satisfying, they didn’t really push the bounds of physical endeavour. The purpose of the neverendinglist has become more than just an outlet for my...
Read More:: I am citizen #78,304,433,060
I am citizen #78,304,433,060*. That is to say that since history began I am estimated to be the 78,304,433,060th person to grace the planet we call earth. Makes me sound insignificant in the whole scheme of things and I guess even with my over-inflated ego I am. I suppose the question for me is, can I create something significant out of my insignificance? What can I do with the life of citizen...
Read More#109 Get motivated
This has to be my favourite things on the list so far and I love the random nature of it. So without any further ado I give you #109 Get motivated! For me there is only one person to call upon to assist in ticking this one off. Here is the attempt, I can but hope! Mr Motivator, I have a very random request, but I know you will help! In short I’m looking for a general motivational...
Read More#88 Give my heart away
Thought it best to start the New Year with something positive. #88 is all about donating, which I hope will become a theme for a lot of the items on the list once it gets into full swing. Can’t be all about me can it! After giving blood it seemed the obvious thing to do and go that step further to sign up for a donor card. In the age of recycling I firmly believe everyone of us has an...
Read More:: Evolution not resolution
I’m not a fan of New Year resolutions, by their very nature they seemed doomed to failure and usually end up as distant memories before January is out. I guess it’s the renegade in me, but when I’m told to do something, I’m less and less likely to be motivated to actually do it. So in-keeping with the very nature of the neverendinglist there will be no resolution for...
Read More:: A blank page
This page is intentionally left blank. But why? Do the blank pages tell us more than those festooned with font? I think they might, after all it is the space that we could have done something with. Seems like a wasted opportunity to me. Thought provoking and profound, or pointless...
Read More#65 Collect a million pennies
Why?….Why not? Running total – 14567 pennies. Key milestones: 100 (reached) – thanking you Michael Barton 1,000 (reached) – thanking you Valgard The Sceptic! 10,000 (reached) thanking you Sue, Sue and Julie too. First cheque sent to the NSPCC 🙂 100,000 1,000,000 Note: this isn’t just a clever way for me to bank £10,000. All penny donations will be passed on to my...
Read More#102 Strike gold
Time to go a prospecting! Strike gold is a little ambiguous in its title and for very good reason. Whilst I would happily pull out a gold pan and head off to the foothills of Krasnoyarsk in deepest Russia to start sifting, time and work commitments unfortunately interfere and some creative thinking is therefore required to make a start on #102! So as an interim solution I today became the proud...
Read More#89 Give blood
Do something amazing….give blood. 96% of us rely on the other 4% to give blood. Those figures need to change! I’m thinking if I’ve got a ‘to do’ list which challenges me to do silly things like ‘buying a cow’ or ‘getting a spray tan’, then I must be able find some time for some slightly more worthwhile feats. Must be my underlying belief in karma, but I always like things to have a certain...
