"Pooh, what's your favorite thing in the whole world?"
"My favorite thing is me coming to visit you, and then you ask, "How about a small smackeral of honey?"
"I like that, too. But what I like most of all is just doing nothing."
"How do you do just nothing?"
"Well, when grown-ups ask, "What are you going to do?" and you say, "Nothing," and then you go and do it."
"I like that. Let's do it all the time."
After an entire day spent doing nothing, ie: catching up on Lost, the Office, and HIMYM, surfing the web (specifically fb, twitter and youtube) and eating an inordinate amount of truffles, (granted, I am sick with the sniffles, sneezies and coughs) I am thrown back to the longest most boring time of my life: The Summer of '08. What I did today was LITERALLY all I did that summer, except that thrown in the mix was the craigslist "search for jobs" which mostly just ended up in missed connections (yes, I'm an addicted, avid reader). Let's just say, that was NOT a good time.
Why is it so easy to do "nothing"?
I can blame it on a million things, but truly it's just my own laziness and procrastination that is keeping me from doing "something."
I have come a long way from the summer of 08, but I've a long way to go to reach maximum productivity levels. Until then, I'll enjoy my sporadic youtube and stalkerbook days.
