Inspiration

So, jetzt ist das neue Jahr schon wieder so nen bissl älter als noch vor ein paar Wochen und irgendwie kann ich mich nicht so richtig dran erinnern, was ich mir so am 01.01. vorgenommen habe.
Daher habe ich mir mal eine "50 things to do in 2010"-Liste von einem Freund (Alan) zu Hilfe genommen.

Also, da wäre:

1. Make a charitable contribution
done, a lot. tutoring, coaching volleyball, buying stuff from little geniuses at the "young explorers convention", ....

2. Eat 5 new, strange and unusual foods
on to that, made "cabbage pasta"

3. Go camping
probably later this year :)

4. Go to the dentist
my dentist's secretary is teasing me, first April, 9, then first, now back to old day just an hour later...

5. Exercise daily
Do the steps in Germany in general count?? volleyball twice a week + extra stuff. still have to fix my bike after the winter. and did a body-combat class with Washi yesterday.

6. Get in touch with old friends
can help u with that :)

7. Invest in stocks and shares
don't sure about that - shall ask my financial manager Uwe. He's probably suggesting alcohol - more percentages

8. Go to 12 gigs (1 per month)
I'm well on to that one - already done till April or May, but probably you should do one each and every month

9. Take more photos
bought a camera - should help

10. Improve my German
sometimes reading a German book instead of an English one, so check

11. Host a party
u know me - check

12. Go fishing/cook what I catch
on the agenda - really!

13. Cook 12 dishes I have never tried before (1 per month)
Tried in like taste or tried cooking? Some of my soups are not bad :)

14. Learn how to pull a pint
Knew that already - do I have to find a new one? However, always learning new stuff@Bierstube

15. Learn 12 magic tricks (1 per month)
late on that one

16. Play a gig
could support u with my hands...

17. Visit friends in Germany
err, do trips in Dresden count?

18. Get a tattoo
nae, maybe a haircut?

19. Sell stuff on ebay
we still have 9 months left

20. Learn two songs on the keyboard
puu, you're raising the bar here

21. Learn how to use Photoshop
could be fun

22. Buy home recording equipment
got a new monitor - almost the same, isn't it?

23. Get a PS3
maybe an mp3 player

24. Go 2 weeks without TV/Internet
When I do TV (what I do in general since I don't have and want a TV set), I can cancel Internet, right?

25. Bury a Time Capsule
Great idea, but where?
Gutzkow Club??

26. Plant a tree
Should talk about that with my father...

27. Buy lunch for a homeless person
