Additional FAQ:
Q: Are you doing this because of the end of the Mayan calendar?
A: Just as many people believe in their religions just in case a Heaven and Hell exist, I am doing all of these activities just in case the world changes. Even if the world doesn’t change, I surely will.
Q: Why are you posting about this?
A: What I intend to do in these challenges are not ridiculous. They are activities that have been forgotten by many because their day job stresses them out too much and their nightlife makes them too impaired to focus. I hope to inspire others to spend time doing what they love and smile knowing that they’ve made others smile.
Q: How long did you have this idea?
A: I thought of it while I was in Montana last week and spent the 16-hour commute back to NY using MindJet to sift through my thoughts. The more I looked at it, the more I found it doable. I have, of course, already started preparations for the tasks that seem ridiculous.
