Five years ago, I celebrated my first (and possibly only) quarter-century of life by writing up a bucket list (despite my disdain for this term and said lists). Most of the things on this list are quite arbitrary as I was just trying to imagine things I thought would be cool to do. I've since come
2018: What The Hell Did I Do?
Congratulations! It's the third week of 2019 (goes fast, huh?) and we're all still here. I wonder if we'll be able to say the same thing after our next solar revolution. But does that mean that the sun is doing the revolution or that we're doing the revolution? I hope the latter; maybe it's just
2017: What The Hell Did I Do?
Well done, friends. We've managed to make it to the end of 2017. Only three more years until the nightmare ends. A lot of things happened in the past 365 days: a man was found in a 7-meter long reticulated python in Indonesia, some awesome women played a soccer match on top of Mount Kilimanjaro,
2016: What The Hell Did I Do?
Well done, gang. We've managed to make it to the end of 2016. Let's all try a little bit harder on this next revolution. So what have I been up to the past 365 366 days whilst hurtling through space at 18.5 miles/sec (30 km/sec)? Quite a bit, it turns out. I celebrated the start of this
The World’s Highest Bungee Jump
Here's some trivia for you: did you know that the world's highest bungee jump is in Macau? What's that? Where's Macau? Do you know where Hong Kong is? No, "somewhere in China" is not an acceptable answer to this question. Although Macau is likely always described in the context of its more
2015: What The Hell Did I Do?
Congratulations! If you're reading this, then we've successfully made it another year as a species. Go us. So what did I manage to accomplish with the previous 365 days of my ride on this celestial merry-go-round of uncertainty? This year I was based in Japan, as I tried my hand at exploiting
2014: What The Hell Did I Do?
In case you haven't noticed, it's 2015. Yes, I too am aware that time is a social construct, but should you choose to ignore it then how will you know when its time for you to die? This year a lot changed for me (I now have near-daily sits on a heated toilet seat) - hopefully 2015 will
Quarter-Century Bucket List
One year, a quarter of a century ago, I was carved out of my mother’s stomach and began my turn at life’s adventure. When I first learned what a bucket list was, I very much liked the idea. It’s like a to-do list for your life, but instead of the list being filled with menial tasks that you have
