A Record Setting Blog...

Recently, I have begun a "Things I Want to do Before I Die" list... no I haven't been diagnosed with a terminal illness, just beginning to make a list. I thing I want to do is skydive, which I hope to be doing this summer. The second thing I want to do is set a world record. ... so far that is my list...

Trying to figure out what kind of record I could break, I have been browsing for odd world records. In a search to find the record of the guy who sat in every single seat in a stadium in a certain amount of time (which is one I'd like to try for), I came across one that was consecutive movie watching. Some guy named Mike Joy in 1994 set the record for consecutive movie watching at 54 hours. I haven't seen any updated information. I think I would go for 72hours. A nice even 3days to shatter his record... in an article, he said he'd reclaim the record, so I'd like to make it harder for him to do so since I wouldn't want to have to do 100 hours after he broke mine. I guess they have really strict rules. You can choose the movies, but you can have a 5 minute break in between movies, and a 15 minute break in between every 3 movies. Then, you need to have at least one person there next to you to make sure that you are awake, and they have to keep a log book.

Now I just need to find a list of action-packed movies that aren't too long (more breaks)...

P.S. If you'd like to sign up for the shifts somewhere between 2am and 6:30am if I do eventually do it, definitely let me know!!!!

P.S.S. Plus the guy won free popcorn for a year... Hoooo Wahhhhh!
