the bet

I’m a firm believer in setting yourself challenges in life (more on this VERY soon) and as you all know I’ve been thinking about what goals I aim for next.

Chris Bailey and I made an interesting bet today… I can’t reveal the full details BUT…

I have a challenge to complete by 5th Nov… as does Chris.

If he fails and I succeed - he pays for a surfing trip next year
If I fail and he succeeds - I pay for the surfing trip
If we both succeed - we pay our own way
If we both fail - we’re not allowed to go!

Tangible specific target + real reward = goal success

Must make more firm goals…

the asprin mystery



the asprin mystery, originally uploaded by alukeonlife.

So i’ve been under docs orders to take soluble asprin for a week or so. Today i plonked them in, they strated to fizz and then i got pulled into a meeting.

When i returned the asprin had formed a layer about 1cm from the bottom of the glass as so.. What?? How did it do that!?

This is hardcore. Tattooing the name of your favourite tune on your foot.. Or insane.

Hmmm. It is a good tune though, check it out on beatport!

making the most of time

Its been a while since I wrote a proper blog entry on here, I’ve cheated on you all and written on other blogs… but here’s just been random cats and things, sorry.

I’ve been finishing off my great philosophers book (Heidegger at the moment) - as expected - its made me think a lot about the bigger picture.

What are my goals these days?

Lets review what my goals were… really, there’s only one of the original ones left!

Write a book - done, kinda. Must make time to re-write it and publish it.
Release a record - coming up
Visit Australia - done
Have a radio show - erm, done, done… done.. diddly done
Complete a MPrac NLP - done, must review some notes been a while since I “sharpened my saw”
Swim Pier to Pier - Done, twice
Visit Machu Pichu - ah… need to plan this one
Buy a Lotus Elise - I’m swapping this one to a Tesla Roadster
Buy a place abroad - still want to do this one

really need some new ones as its only a car, a flat and a holiday… hardly challenges!

Hmmmm

I think I’ll add the redbull flugtag and maybe the pedal car race… I’d like a bigger challenge to replace the swim next year… suggestions?

There are a few other secret ones, one of them will be revealed soon (hopefully).

I find myself with a lot going on, a lot going well… I’m really struggling to shake this sore throat though… the health stuff has taken a bit of a backseat, although i’ve been out on the bike a few times.

One thought that did strike me today, when was the last time I spent more than a day away from the internet? scary
