Many developments in the life of Scott McCarthy in recent weeks. I have now completed the introduction and chapter one of my book, I have returned to Cheltenham for what could quite possibly be the final time, our new Brighton and Hove Albion site is growing day by day, and most interestingly of all, McCarthy has turned to vegetarianism.
I decided to use what is likely to be my final year of doing effectively nothing before entering the world of employment to embark on another test of endurance. Long time readers of this diary will remember my attempts to change my sleeping patterns so I was getting just four hours a night, and the time I tried to stay up for as long as possible, managing around 40 hours if memory serves correctly. This time, it was a straight choice - pick an abstract religion to join or become a vegetarian. I went for the latter.
I have now been meat and fish free for exactly two weeks - a fine achievement for someone who enjoys meat as much as myself. Originally, I was told that there was no way that McCarthy would last a week without eating meat, but all expectations have been surpassed. The aim now is to see how long I can go, with the long term target being set of Christmas day, at which I will gouge myself out with all manner of meat. Should the plan be concieved as attainable, I may even attempt to go the whole of 2010 without meat.
I would like to thank my supportive friends thus far, who have done everyone possible to put me off - ranging from buying a KFC bargain bucket, eating half and leaving the rest in the middle of the floor to actually physically throwing a piece of ham at my head at a recent party. None of these techniques have put me off, and I remain devoted to the life of the herbivore.
So much of my time has been taken up with these new projects that I have not had time to update mac-i in quite a while. Therefore, there will be about a hundred updates coming in the space of the next few days, so make sure you keep your eyes peeled. Even more shocking is that I haven't found anytime to arrange any form of birthday celebration for Scott McCarthy Day XXII. Any ideas would be much appreciated, so feel free to contact me through Facebook or some other means. After all, you are only 22 once. And for the following 364 days.
