And You Catch Me Dropping The Ball
I know… I know… We’ve pretty much finished with January, and I still haven’t yet gotten (gotten? I think it’s a word) into the whole 2010 vibe as yet.
One of my “possible, not probable” New Year’s Resolutions, along with getting The Girlfriend to give me at least four sensual foot rubs in 2010, was getting more of my majestic words published in print media this year. (Mondli Makhanya of the Sunday Times, if you are reading this, let’s have coffee – well maybe a beer instead, I don’t really do coffee). Obviously, in order to achieve that this year, this blog should by now be brimming with my clever thoughts and coherent words, something which has obviously not been happening at this point.
So here goes, I have now laid down a challenge for both you and I to partake in. I will look to have a fresh post on this blog every day for the rest of the year, right up until 31 December 2010.
“But so what Shaun,” I hear you shouting, “surely we have heard similar promises in the past? You write for two weeks, and then disappear again for another three.”
“You are absolutely right,” I bellow down to you, as I sit perched on my pedestal, “but this time I will add a monetary incentive to make sure I stick to my promise.”
For every complete day that I do not put up a new post, I will give away R250 to the first person who posts it on the my Fan Page Wall. No questions asked, just say “Shaun, you have dropped the ball. It’s Wednesday morning and you have nothing to show for Tuesday. Give me my money.”
Now granted, R250 is not a lot of money, but there is not a lot of effort involved in earning it, so I think it’s a fair trade.
The only thing YOU need to do is obviously make sure you are a member of my Fan Page (join here), otherwise you will not be able to write on the wall.
Deal?
Deal.
Okay, let’s shake on it.
Mmm, you didn’t really have to spit on your hand before you did it, but okay, let’s go with that.
Chat soon then.
