I’m 36 this year. I’ve doubled in age since turning 18, which is weird isn’t it? Then again 18 does seem like fucking ages ago now so maybe it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. But I do constantly find myself being surprised by the fact I’m nearly 40 and have barely any idea a) his this happened and b) what I’m supposed to be doing – you know. As a nearly-40-year-old. IT’S ALL JUST A BIT CONFUSING.
So, as 36 hurtles at a frightening speed towards me, I decided to make a list. A list of things I wanted to do during that one glorious year. A list of things that, if accomplished, would make me a greater person. A better man. A more rounded individual. And give me something to do. I have a lot of energies to expend.
So. A list. A list for 36. What to put on it? Well, it may as well be 36 items long. Why not? Why not? Well, because it transpires that thinking of 36 things to do is actually quite hard. But I’m not 36 yet. I’ve got a month until that happens. So let’s begin with the list and see how we get on.
THE LIST BEGINS:
1. Start writing a blog – and update it every week.
2. Start a Vlog.
3. Visit a European city I’ve never been to.
4. Try and get a magazine/website column.
5. Run 10k.
6. Draw or paint a picture that I’m proud of.
7. Get a fucking six pack.
8. Learn to do a handstand.
9. Explore other career paths.
10. Buy a flat.
See? Not a bad start. That handstand one is a bit random, ins’t it? Still, onwards and upwards.
