My life isn't exciting at all. The best thing about it is my wife, two kids, my parents and my inlaws.
This blog has been set up to document my attempts at ten ambitions. Below is a run down of them and my thoughts on them...
- Get a new job closer to home with better hours so I can see the wife and kids in the evening
I'm happy in my work at a well known tele-communications company spending two hours trying to advise octogenarians what an underscore is but I need dayshift hours so I can see the above mentioned loved ones.
- Help the wee boy complete Skylanders
Went kinda easy on myself with this one. Awaiting three new Skylanders to come through the post, I'm more excited about that than the bairn is. We're on level 20, the last level, so this will probably be done at the weekend.
- Ask to see out the cockpit window when I'm going to Murcia
Not quite sure what the script is with this one with regards to potential terrorism but there is no harm in asking. Might get frisked by the orange dude who advertised Tango a while back. He's been on every plane that I've ever flown on.
- Score a hat-trick at Starks Park (Providing they run a Live the Dream game again)
Pffft! Piece of piss! Scored a double last season when I could barely swing my legs around to get out my bed. I'm a wee bit fitter this season so I reckon I'll complete this one with ease unless Davo is taking part and I'm viciously snapped in half within two strides.
I love my Merc CLK200 to bits. When the Kompressor supercharger kicks in it's like warp speed in the Millenium Falcon but it just isn't practical. The wife fancies a newer Focus to sit beside our old style one but I still want something with a bit of oomf about it.
- Get a story that I wrote for my son made into a book
Not sure how to go about this as it's already written. Just needs a bit of editing and illustration maybe.
- Write a story for my wee girl
It'll be about Ballet dancing and there'll be loads of pink in it because she loves that stuff.
- Learn to fluently play a tune on the guitar
I can play the first few chords of 'Wonderful Tonight' but haven't really picked my guitar up for a while due to getting in from work at 23:30 every night. Doubt the family would appreciate me fucking up tunes at that time of night.
- Buy a 4/5 bedroom house so I can have a separate room for films/PS3 etc
Purely based on winning the lottery. 14m-1 chance sounds like good odds to me.
- Have a dirty night at the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh
This one speaks for itself really. Won't document this one though for obvious reasons.
