My life is getting somewhat boring and unfruitful lately so I've decided to spice it up a bit.

The idea is to get "randomness" in activities, i.e. to compile a big list of new things to do and then roll through it to see what I come up with.

I explain it a little bit more in detail in this article here.



That's where your help is needed! I need meaningful ideas for activities, and I belive gathering them from more than one source is the way to go to make this experiment really interesting.

If you want to help, it'll take you no more than 5 minutes: go to this article page, follow the instrucions (which basically is, end me 5 activities/items), and at the end of the month I'll let the dice decide my fate.

Thanks in advance!

Sent you an e-mail. I should try this, maybe.

1. Score 200 points or more in a game of bowling. Wii bowling does not count.
2. Get at least 5 AAA scores on Expert or Heavy charts on any DDR game.
3. Within one month, work up to the point where you can do 30 push-ups, back to back.
4. Have sex with two partners within a 24-hour period, and without sleeping between them.
5. Beat La-Mulana or I Wanna Be The Guy. Bonus points for YouTube of it.
6. Spend a whole weekend in your bed. You can take a total 30 minutes a day to eat, bathe, or use the bathroom; and can make any preperations prior to this task.

Go!

Thanks for the lists, both noted down.
And keep coming, I'm looking for more stuff to do!

I suck @ bowling

4. Have sex with two partners within a 24-hour period, and without sleeping between them.

1: Talk to a random person that you've never seen before (Nobody you're attracted to, that's cheating)
2: Watch a movie you don't like, enjoy it for what other people enjoy it for
3: Give a real gift, expecting nothing return. Infact plan it so that they can't return the favor. Blatantly refuse if they manage.
4: Don't plan out your travel routes before hand, take the one that looks good now. Enjoy the chance to relax if you're stuck waiting, rejoice if you arrive early.


Hmm, that's all I have for now.

ingest an illicit substance you previously haven't (ignore if straight-edge)
confess your affection to the next person you have feelings for

make an album in one day (http://crapart.spacebar.org/aad/)

My brothers and I did this before, once. It turned out pretty well, considering.

It's funny that a single day of your life can contain that much productivity, while most days contain so little.

i make a bunch of weird sonic collages in my downtime but i've never made an album specifically for the site. i could cheat and make some dronestuff but when i get my shit straight i'll try to make a weird assortment of tracks.

could you link to yours, brother android? i'd be interested in checking it out.

1. Go to a bookstore, and read at least 4 character arcs of Marvel Civil War.
2. Eat two bags of Mother's Circus Animal Cookies within 48 hours. Trust me on this one.
3. Use LEGO bricks to recreate two gaming icons.
4. For an entire week, you must purchase groceries by walking to and from the store. There is a strategy involved in this, btw.
5. For a week, write all of your numbers (below 10k) in roman numerals only.
6. Procure a sex toy from an adult toy store, movies and posters nonwithstanding. It doesn't have to be for you, but you must still buy it in person.

Aaaaand once again, thanks, it's nice to see different ideas from different folks. Keep coming and feel free to spam this to firnds and relatives (especially if they're kind of eccentric )

eat every animal
eat every fruit
eat cuisine from every available country

[baconman]

1. Grab a copy of "1000 iconic games you must play" (or something to that effect), and beat everything in it. (Losing a puzzle game counts as a "win" because it still gets you a total score.)
2. Do 1 instead.
3. Subtract 1 from this roll.
4. Divide this roll by two.
5. Divide this roll by five.
6. Roll again (but still use this card).

Go to the nearest art gallery. Find out about the pieces of work that are on display. They can be much more interesting when you understand the context in which they were created. There should be regular tours that explain many of the popular pieces.

Hire out a bicycle and ride around the bike trails in your local area.

Write a letter to someone who has had a big influence in your life that you never thanked. In this letter thank them for their contribution and tell them about how they have affected you.

Go hiking for a few days. Carry everything you need in a rucksack. Don't bring along any digital technology.

Do something charitable in private without receiving anything in return.

Write a poem about something you've seen or felt while doing all the above.
