I'm doing 35 things
1. Set up your bookmarks to the “How I Did It” page: http://www.43things.com/zeitgeist/how_i_did_it
2. Put reminders on your personal calendar for each time for the number of days you plan on doing it.
3. Each day read through the completed goals and choose ones which have merit and passion in them. I don’t usually pick ones which are simple like “go outside” or “take out the trash.” I favor philanthropists.
4. Delete your reminders for each day until they are all completed!

How I did it
It made me
giddy 
How I did it: I ride bikes and I like to air guitar. The process of deep exhalation and making the pretend sound of a guitar was the serendipitous combination needed to discover how to do the loud whistle. Basically, just make the Blue Steel face and keep your jaw tucked up so your teeth are like a bulldog. Exhale hard against your top teeth. Eventually will find the whistle you are looking for.

warm and fuzzy
How I did it: You dress up in your silliest costume you can afford to ruin and take your little brother's/sister's big wheel to the top of Vermont Street (it used to be Lombard but got moved because of popularity) at 4PM on Easter and whammo!! You are in the race. Read how I did it…

This skill keeps you in a job and out of trouble more than anything. But, I once new a fellow who would investigate things he didn’t feel were right and would always get down to the bottom of things. You could never pull the wool over his eyes. He would question things on his credit report and fight them if they were wrong. The skill made him a different type of hero. One that I would love to emulate.
I am in social situations a lot and I want to be like my grandfather who could tell a joke for every situation he found himself in. Got a flat tire? He had a joke for that. Didn’t know how to eat a lobster? He had one for that too. A cool guy makes you feel good in awkward situations and I will have tough time trying to raising the bar on him in this regard.
