As said previously, I wasn't planning on updating this blog any, but like the project itself this whole thing has gotten out of hand, and now I have to whack a fresh new post in because there's a chance all these gossipy newspapers and magazines are going to come snooping about it.
So, for those newcomers amongst you, I'm Matt Rose, and I'm out to make total random strangers - the generally miserable public we see every day - happy. I got irritated seeing everyone so glum and downtrodden and thus made it my aim for 100 days to cheer people up. I mean... how hard can it be?
The answer, as it happens, is 'massively'.
Since I last posted, I've had to spend a terrible 2 hours with my mouth duct taped together watching people eat and struggling to breathe, I've had to decorate a public toilet to make it look like a 6-year-olds party, and as this picture shows, I've gone round town with a sign that looks like I've stolen it from a homeless person giving out free hugs, as can be seen here. The latter has been the most fun, as it really was nice to see everyone so receptive, and some fantastic people actually recognized me and gave me a free donut! Utterly superb, that lot.
However it's not all badly made signs and free pastries I'll have you know. As per usual I've been up til 6am most nights dredging the weirdest imaginable places of the internet and scoring the kind of odd replies most people have nightmares about. And nasty nightmares at that. The kind of nightmares that Freddy Krueger would crap himself if he found himself in. I've been trying to smear the internet every which way but loose with word of my crazed quest, from facebooks to myspaces to guestbooks to emails to my very own bebo account - http://bebo.com/MattR988
But amongst all the spam and viruses and weird, weird, just really weird suggestions some people have sent, there's still a glimmer of hope that I can come out of this with my head held high and with the masses somewhat happier as a result. But for that to happen, I require your help...
You see.. I need suggestions. Lots of them. Recently my inbox has dried up and you can currently count the amount of emails I'm receiving on one hand, even if you don't have any fingers. So I beg of you, please, PLEASE, mail me ideas as to how I can make you happy to makingothershappier@gmail.com . I WILL go out and do them, no matter how stupid or costly they may be - I am just in dire need of your help. So mail me, please, and spread the word, to friends, family, forums; anyone.
And now I've gotten serious about this blog business, I'll probably be back with another post sooner or later...
Take care.
