    I'm a student, off for the summer, un-employed and just basically piss about all the time.

    I'm open to suggestions for a new hobby. I'll do the coolest most popular challenge.

    That's loser talk.

    You get out there and give your all, and if that aint good enough then at least you can look your grandchildren in the eye and say:

    'When I was your age...'

    'what grandpa?'

    '...nevermind'

    Like a math equation, or piece of poetry? Maybe a route to a new place and name.
    Could be interesting.

    The Master Cleanse sound like a barrel of laughs - http://themastercleanse.org/
    Below are some other items you might consider for inclusion in your Master Cleanse Kit.
    • Laxatives (to create Daily Detox Bowel Movements)
    • Sea Salt (for The Salt Water Flush)
    • Hand Juicers or Electric Juicers
    • Teaspoon and Tablespoon Measures
    • Naturally Non-caffeinated Herbal Teas (the only cheating allowed)
    • Bio-Metric Measures (scales, ph-testers, body fat measures, and other devices to measure the results of your cleanse)
    • Journals (to document the process, emotions, challenges and triumphs during the Master Cleanse

    Drinking lemonade for 30 days, taking laxatives and doing the "salt water flush" (that is, drinking masses of salty water until it spurts out of your bum) - fun for all the family :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,152 ✭✭✭ozt9vdujny3srf


    Thats a super idea. Without the net you'll probably find yourself well occupied.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    This isn't cool but anyway....learn a musical instrument as you are a student start with something cheap like a tin whistle...you can buy a teach yourself book and a whistle for less than 10 euro and there are some great you tube sites that will help you......you might enjoy it.

    That's quite unique, but i'd like to at least have the potential to get laid this month, so that one is out.

    Dont do that.
    It'll mean we cant ridicule you in your quest for bettering yourself

    Exactly and that is the theory behind that way of eating, to get back in touch with the common ancestor that lies within, that craves 30 bananas a day. You may notice that you fap more in public, but that's a minor side effect that you'll get used to. It's challenge .. but if you think you're not man monkey enough for it.

    I do have an old casio keyboard, just to find the right power source, so that's an option.
    Also got access to acoustic and electric guitars.

    I would like to retain the option for posting youtube vids or updates on here. But then again, i could just keep a journal and submit after 30 days.

    What food stuff do you hate the most?

    Whatever it is, buy a load of it, use a food processor to whizz it up into a liquid paste. Then fap 3 times per day using this paste as lubricant. After 30 days of this your mind will associate the food stuff in question with the pleasure of orgasm and thusly you will learn to love the food stuff you once hated.

    Just though if you became any good ( or even learned to play in tune ) you could try busking... however don't go to in to the city centre and play the one tune over and over again you will just annoy people and they won't give you any money.

    I think coffee shops should have a play for tips scene it would be a great way of enjoying some good music and an easy way for someone getting started to get some experience playing.

    Learn Mandarin.

    Learn Mandarin.

    I knew a little, don't think it can be done in 30 days.
    Still have a bunch of books for it though.

    Ya can make good progress in 200 hours - not fluent, but...


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Okay what about my idea then


    ( 1) learn or improve on a musical instrument

    (2) post up dates on youtube

    (3) produce a 30 minute play list

    This bit is optional ...fine a good looking singer of the op sit sex to play with you

    (4) ask a coffee shop to let you play for tips.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 427 ✭✭scotty_irish


    learn a language, learn how to cook. learn how to programme (can easily be done in 30 days)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 69 ✭✭xoaudhep


    Get really fit! Do the 30 day shed dvd by Jillian Michaels and see how fit you can get in a month! Or else get a language pack like the Rosatta Stone and see how well you can learn a language you've never tried before. You can download either online!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 447 ✭✭bluecatmorgana


    1)Learn a language

    2)Cook something new everyday

    3) Learn how to drive and pass your driving test (if you already havent)

    4) Learn sign language

    5) Redesign the garden on the cheap by using recycled stuff and free stuff

    What ever you do

    Create a blog and record everything you do everyday on the blog-

    Things you should do-

    Pick 30 people you admire in the world, write to one each day saying why you admire them and see if they reply

    Do a set of exercises focusing on building muscle and post a pic everyday on your blog

    Learn a piece of poetry by heart and record yourself doing in on camera and post it to your blog

    Pick 30 things your afraid of and overcome them

    And when your finished, some publisher may want to condense your blog in book form and you'll be an overnight sensation &

    you can thank me after

    You can make a bigger dent in a language than you think, OP. Last summer I had three months of nothing also. I spent two of those months teaching myself some Russian, and after about two weeks brushing up on it last May my Russian is now better than my Irish after 14 years doing that in school.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,246 ✭✭✭ardinn


    I should have thought of this a month ago, if I had, i'd be finished by now!
