As if I needed another challenge in my life, I decided to accept as many challenges thrown my way (and some thrown at others I happened to be in the vicinity of). I usually don't share my writing but I decided to send the link to my blog to my wife (who thought I was hiding it from her) and the first reaction I got was, "you should write more, Lateef" and that began a day of impromptu challenges issued and accepted.
The most important challenge came from my wife who challenged me to write on this blog everyday until Christmas. The rules are:
- blog posts have to be published before midnight
- we have to comment on each others blogs
- if we fail to meet a deadline, we are allowed to "guest write" on each others blogs which is just code for tell embarrassing stories about each other
This seemed fair enough to me since I am always making resolutions to blog more every year (we all see how that has worked out for the past 4 years or so). I just have to keep track of all my challenges accepted so I don't lose sight of my goals for the coming new year. The following is a list of challenges on my horizon:
- Kickboxing match with Tisi
- Arm balance contest with Katie
- blogging every day until Christmas
That is all I can remember for now. I know there will be more because I'm wired like Barney Stinson...wherever there is a challenge issued, if I'm around, I will accept unconditionally regardless of the consequences.
Who knows, this might be the start to a lot of goodwill from the Universe...or a lot of pain for me. Nevertheless, I look forward to any and all takers.

Bring. It. As much as I love blogging I really couldn't do a blog a day - the fact that you want to (or were coerced to or whatever) tells me you need to do this right now. Looking forward to reading them (and a few embarrassing stories are fine by me!!).
I love the picture of Barney, Lateef. Quite fitting. Really looking forward to the next month. I need this...
