DAY 11. WOAH.
Blog time!
Over the last few months, my friend Dan has been doing something that I never would have predicted him doing.
He's started buying football stickers, to fill up this season's official Premier League football sticker book.
He doesn't have a particular interest in football; he doesn't support a team; he hadn't previously declared a love for stickers. So why was he doing this? Simply, because it was something he had previously started when he was a child, but never finished. So now, with this season's sticker book, he is attempting to complete the whole book - every last sticker.
Personally, I think it is an awesome thing to do - to go back to things you once failed at, and succeed at them - so it has got me thinking about things I once attempted, but didn't finish.
Thanks for reading!

- Catch all 150 Pokémon. I put an absurd amount of time into this series of videogames over the years, but I never caught all 150 of the original Pokémon. It would be good to go back and rectify this.
- Complete the PlayStation game Mickey's Wild Adventure. This was a 2D videogame, where you controlled Mickey Mouse through various levels based on classic Mickey Mouse cartoons. Why do I want to complete this game in particular? Because it was the first videogame I ever owned, so it has always bugged me that I never managed to complete it.
- Read the Lord of the Rings books. Yes, I haven't read this classic series of novels. I tried to read The Hobbit when I was around 13, but I stopped around 30 pages in. I would like to be able to say I have read them all one day.
- Learn to play the harmonica properly. Long-term readers of this blog will remember me saying I wanted to learn the harmonica; I bought one, practice with it every few days for a couple of weeks, and pretty much stopped. I should get it back out, and actually research YouTube videos and/or guides so that I can actually learn to be brilliant at it. It'll be useful if/when I become homeless.

An awesome starting point for a bucket list mate. I look forward to hearing about how you get on with each of these. As somebody who also never caught all 150 original Pokémon, and who only finished reading The Lord of the Rings for the first time earlier this year, I view these as admirable aspirations. Best of luck, sir!
