The List So Far...

Righty then...

Thanks to some outstanding work by people with greater imaginations than I - the list now covers 144 items for completion. Also, thanks to a shady back-hand deal, I can complete a lifelong goal and punch a clown. You really don't want to know what the forfeit is... Cool though eh? Punching a clown. Awesome.

But thanks to the fact that I spend time at work not doodling, and not trying to think of things to add, I don't seem to be getting as far along as I could be. Maybe I should take some leave. That'd be an interesting conversation with the boss...

Dan: "I need a few days off".
Boss: "Why?"
Dan: "I want to spend my time thinking of things to add to a list which I'll then complete over the course of a year".
Boss: "Sit down Dan. And shut up".

All of these are open to criticism and you're welcome to offer any changes... most of all though - I need new ideas.
