57) make a wallet
59) make some clothes
60) string art [/quote]

And that's not counting a whole slew of regular things that happen during the course of living life during the year.

But contrary to what it looks like, it's not about doing as many things a possible, it's about realising what I can do with my life. Most everything on here came from two thoughts.

1) This would be something fun and interesting that I would love to have in my life.
2) I'm just a poor schlub trying to get by in a barely held together life, theres no way I can do these sorts of things.

Lucky for me, #2 doesn't ever realise until it's too late that I'm a stubborn fellow and don't like to be told what I can and can't do. I also take great pleasure in finding a way to do things that seem impossible.

So there you go, the secret to my success is a self defeating attitude paired with a snarky contrarian attitude. Lol.

Take care of yourselves,

Roving Jack
