Getting Off Of My Ass

I often lament about not having enough time to do things (like in my last post). But then I always seem to manage to fit in a couple hours of TV every day, and I do a lot of needless running around town on errands. I've decided that I may not have any more time in the day, but I am going to get off of my ass and start doing some things. Monday I start a beginning guitar class. 5 weeks, 50 bucks and I'll be on my way to jamming out tunes like Orion or More Than A Feeling. I haven't actually signed up for the class yet, but putting it down in writing and putting it out in public like this is a great motivator. Studies prove that people who document their goals are more likely to achieve them.

Another reason I have no time is my job. It's hard to do everything you want when working a full time job for a soul sucking company like mine. That comes off a little whiny and desperate, but it's mostly true. You could do a lot more of what you want if you didn't have to work so much. That's why being retired or being a politician look so good. Plenty of down time to practice yoga, talk about how things used to be, or cruise public bathrooms tapping out Morse code and looking for a piece of ass.

So that's the magic move - not (allegedly) being a gay senator, but finding the dream job that I can do what I want, when I want and still make money and live the life I'm accustomed to now...or wait! Live a better life than I do now! I don't think I can make it as a gigolo, so that's out. Maybe I could be a pimp! I do like hats, and I've been thinking about trying to bring the walking cane back into vogue. I just need some hos, and 72 Cadillac with spinners on it. I'll get back to you on this!
