Sometimes being lazy is important. You cannot go 1,000 MPH for 10 years without that taking a serious toll on your mind, body, and spirit. Likewise you can’t hit full stop without slowing down first. As I tear into yet another slice of Cotsco lemon cake, I realize I’ve hit full stop. I’m happier for it. I took the time to let the batteries wind to empty and now I need them to wind up again.
The trick is to build up slowly. If I launch into full work mode then the best I can expect is a dead start, like a car that has idled for too long. In truth I want to spend the month of July revving up for August and the month of August getting up to full speed. I might’ve been a Porsche when I was younger but these days I’m a 4 door sedan.
Some Thoughts:
- Miley Cyrus is not a sex symbol. Neither are the Olsen twins nor is Amanda Bynes. Being wealthy, legal, skinny, and blonde doesn’t automatically qualify you for sexy status. The fact that we continue to behave as if it does is a real testament to how ingrained this ideal is into the American culture.
- We had our first Haboob of the season last night. My driveway looked like a dust swell this morning.
- Under the Dome is basically unrecognizable t this point. I think I will enjoy it more if I stop trying to make it something it isn’t: An awesome Stephen King story.
