The Challenge Begins. Soon.

52
Things To Do
In 2005 !!!

Since 2004 was a reasonably dull year. I've decided to spice up 2005 by setting myself tasks to complete. After much thought I settled upon 52 tasks.

Why 52?

1. There are 52 weeks in one year. So, it seemed a logical number to choose.
2. "52" rhymes with "Things To Do".

The only problem is:

I can't think of 52 thingst to do. I've got some, but not that many.
Therefore, I am opening up my quest, to you. My public.

Please email me at [email protected] with any suggestions you may have. No idea too big, yet none too small.
I need every sort of task ranging from the moderateley expensive, to the cheap, to the free. Please please range towards the free end of this scale.

Some should be ridicolously hard, others relatively easy, some awkward, some time consuming, a few should be irritating, at least one should be tedious, some should be funny anda couple should be annoying. Some should require practice and others luck. Some should be over in minutes whilst otthers may take hours.

The plan is to get through as many as possible straight away.
I'll start with the easy tasks first. Then I intend to lose interest and I'll do absolutely nothing for months on end. Around mid November, I'll start to panic. I'll have 37 ridicolously hard and expensive tasks to complete. I'll max my credit cards, stop going to work, grow a mis-shapen beard and probably kill my self attempting to complete what is a very idiotic idea.

I will supply at least 10 of the tasks myself. Leaving 42 open for suggestion. I will however retain the right to veto (not veeto! - Thank You Chris) any suggestions made to me, so do not be ridiculous. I will not be poking lions with sticks or flying to the moon. But don't go easy on me. This is meant to be a challenge and should therefore be challenging.

I will be presenting evidence of completed task here on this website. www.geocities.com/fiftytwothingstodoin2005
The website was going to be 52thingstodoin2005 but that was already taken.
as was:
52_thingstodoin2005
52_things_to_do_in_2005
52things_todoin2005
52things_todo_in2005
53thingstododin2005includingonethingthatihavenointentionofdoing etc etc.

Evidence will be presented in photographic form where possible. In other cases I will present signed documentation and testement from witnesses who saw the event occurring.

Please believe me when I tell you that I am taking this event very very seriously.

The closing date for suggestions is: 30th January 2005.
At this point I will publish the 52 tasks on this site. If you have suggested a task you will recieve credit on the site for this. So please include your name in your email.

So please email this web address tou your friends, family and parole officer.

Good Luck and Thank You.

This is not a picture of me.
I am designing this site on an extremely slow computer at Stirling University. Said computer has no pictures of me stored on it, but a google image search for "Adam" brought up this fine gentleman. So his picture will have to suffice.
