My wacky project

Hello there friends. 'Tis Matt Rose here. And I come asking for help...

As it stands, I'm up to my neck in a wacky project.  Basically, I have a bet that I can complete 101 of the 202 challenges from the books '101 things to do before you die' and '101 things to do before you're old and boring'. Easy. Obviously. I mean it's only 101 fricken life-time achievements, and I now have 362 days to do 100, having completed 1.

I have a history of swashbuckling adventure and tomfoolery, from being chased out of Trafalgar Square, to getting cautioned by the police from all the razzmatazz this created.  However all these little 'things-to-do' escapades appear to be the most ambitious.  This year I have to skydive, spend Christmas on a French beach, go on a road-trip with my hair dyed blue, spend a night in a graveyard, and... bake a little cake. I have literally no idea how I'm going to do it.

However, I AM going to do it to wipe the arrogant smirk of Chris Swallow's face, who I'm having the bet with.  If everything goes to plan I should even be writing a book about my adventures at the end of it all...

But before that, before I get burnt, molested, kidnapped or tarred-and-feathered and all the other affects this'll have on me - I need to get Thing To Do Before You Die Number 91 under my belt - start a cult website.  Now I've kinda done this one before, managing to garner me a stalker, a severe headache, and having me recognized on the street which is a bit odd seen as there was no picture of me on the site.  But it wasn't really a cult as such - I didn't have little minions wearing capes I could order round to fire Vienettas off catapults at my friend's houses.  And let's face it; that would be brilliant.

This one has to be a proper cult.  Now I'm not asking you to start chanting and constructing big 'Matt' icons and worshipping my dog.  This isn't like that, it's much more simple, and there's much less chance my dog will get nervous and throw up.  All I need from you is to send me an e-mail, with the words "Matt's Cult" on them, to MattCRose17@aol.com .  You can just put those words, or you can add a little message with them - it might be a little funny anecdote, or what you think of the Belgians, or just relentless swearing at me.  I honestly don't mind.  I just need 101 different people to e-mail me this.  And, I PROMISE, the funniest or most entertaining e-mail I get will be put in my little book and you'll get a bit famous and that.

Go on... Please. Give it a go. I really, REALLY need your help with this, so please just drop me a mail.  It'd be really nice.  Whilst you're at it, I encourage you to live your life to the full, so at least I have some kind of culty leader message to give everyone, but you can take that or leave it really.

Anyways, I look forward to hearing from you. Cheers!

Super fantastic mega excellent extra mega brilliant update... of sorts... We have the first wacky challenge video of the project so far - here ! It's pretty good if you'd like to see some arrogant swines get taken down a peg or two, and if you haven't joined my super fantastic mega whatnot cult yet, surely this will encourage you to. All you have to do is send a mail to MattCRose17@aol.com with the words "Matt's Cult" somewhere, anywhere, within. As it stands I have 38 excellent joinees, but I still need 63 more...

Go on... give it a go. Please, for old muggins Matt here...

I doubt many people will get far enough into the depths of this page to read this. They'll probably have read about my dog throwing up and they're off.  But I thought I'd give another wee little update to try to garner some more support...

On that note my second project video is now up doing the rounds. It's not the most interesting, and I'd suggest you don't try and watch it if you're trying to eat some noodles as you do, seen as most of it consists of me retching over a sink after trying to drink pencil sharpenings. Enjoy!

The projects going alright thanks, between having to be a vegetarian for a week and trying to scrape together a band to get on the X-Factor, I'm spending worryingly excessive amounts of cash and now there are talks of me doing a play - a total bloody disaster seen as my drama teacher once actually referred to me as, a "total bloody disaster". Which is fair enough because I'd just accidentally shouted someone elses lines at the wrong point, then fallen backwards off a table...

The cult? Well I now have 47 members; nearly half-way, but I need your help now more than ever. Word of my little groupling (I'm not sure if that's a word but it's in a website now so it must be), has spread a little bit, but I desperately need your assistance.  Quite a few people now are questioning exactly what the cult's about and what the plan is and how it's different from all the run-of-the-mill grouplings scattered about elsewhere. I've said before that its mainly about just living your life to the full - hopefully somehow by witnessing my reckless acts of stupidity and milkshake-making, you'll try and maybe do something wacky too...

But that's not all friends. Oho, no siree. Your ol' pal Matt here has a few tricks up his sleeve for the near future. Big exciting tricks aplenty, seriously. And the only way you'll know what these are, is by joining up...

Go on - ya might as well. One e-mail to MattCRose17@aol.com . "Matt's Cult" anywhere within. Please!!
