Yours truly spent the weekend; the part not spent on Facebook, Twitter or playing Football Manager that is, thinking about all the things I need to sort out in the next phase of life for my aging self! Here are the Seven things I have to get done, in no particular order, before Heaven beckons….
- Marry the akara making Halle berry/ Gordon Ramsay/ Martha Stewart superwoman of my dreams!
- Write the best-selling collection of poems and or the book that gets me on the cover of TIME magazine and rave reviews as the new Shakespeare (speaking at TED would be a great alternative!)
- Swivel in my chair and dictate global Pipeline Integrity Policy from my corner office at Corporate HQ on 800 Bell street for at least 20 years..
- Walk a tight-rope stretched taut over the Niagara falls (or if my keg prevents me, pretend to!)
- Get to retire to my yacht in the Caribbean and watch the sun set for at least another 20 years!
- Make a one time donation of at least ten million dollars to World Vision, Compassion, or preferably Stepping Stones Nigeria.
- Last and not the least, get some legit toe-curling, head twisting, mind boggling you-know-what..
Daaaayuuum…. Its a Sunday.. Enough of the day dreams – I’m off to Church!

For each of those goals, I would like to see some SMART objectives! Exactly how are you going to measure the mind boggling you know what?! And what is your timeline for finding Ms Berry/Ramsay/Stewart?
Oh and I vote Stepping Stones for the big donation! 🙂
BTW your latest template version doesn't seem to like Firefox..:-(

@LoloBloggs — U don come again o… Not every goal can be written out in binary code… Somethings are just KNOWN.. like #7.. For the rest, make some Yahooze will be a good place to start! 😀
@Naughty Eyes — Assuming we are talking about the same thing, you are veeery correct man!
@Rene — Stepping Stones it will be then…
@Lati — 😀
@Nefertiti — Wait o.. Is the '1' a funkified spelling or a typo? Well.. achieving the goals, there are plans sequestered in the Library of Congress for my eyes only.. So I can keep my 'competitive advantage' 😉
P.S. – I think I am liking this Uncle Moniker.. makes me feel old!
@sweetnothin' — Thanks jare…. Will definitively share the good news with you all… Hopefully the recession lifts before then so I can fly all of you to Nigeria to witness it live!
@ Omo Oba — LOL.. Bell Street might actually be one of the more doable ones though..At least I am getting the Msc I need in the first instance… You're welcome on #4… Err #7 is…… well #7!
