Shawn,
I tried to watch hockey during the Olympics with my wife. When they gave out the medals, she said “There's nothing wrong with bronze. “It's nothing to be ashamed of at all!” But when I told her that she was the third best girlfriend I'd ever had, she went absolutely mental on me.
And by the way, catching up on laziness may not necessarily be a good thing. My wife called me lazy the other morning, so I decided to walk around the block twice. It was a Lego block, but you get the point. I never thought I'd be the type of person who would get up early in the morning to exercise. And I was right. I just wish she’d lighten up with all the talk about laziness. It bothered me so much last night, all I could manage to do was to just lean on the mantle in front of the fireplace and cry. And get this…. she actually had the nerve to ask me “What’s wrong now?” and I said “Can you please come over here and check me? I think I’m burning.” Then I said, “Don’t worry.” “When I die, I'm going to leave everything to you.” And she said, “You’re already doing that, you lazy SOB.” She just assumes that I’m lazy and that I’m unwilling to finish anyth
This has been a problem for me ever since I got out of high school. In all honesty, I believe that there was a demonic force at work in those days. I can remember playing the Led Zeppelin song “Stairway to Heaven” over and over, backwards on my record player. And if I listened close enough, I could hear my mom yelling in the background “Why don’t you get off your lazy a** and look for a job!” I’m actually embarrassed that the problem is still with me today. I even think that the buttons on the tv remote are too far apart. I do realize that there's no excuse for laziness, but if you find one, please let me know. Believe it or not, I’m trying to get better and I’ve actually started this “to do list”…
1. Make a “to do list” (check).
2. Check off the first thing on the list (check).
3. Realize that I’ve already accomplished the first two things on the list (check).
4. Reward myself with a long nap (in progress). I don’t know if it’s actually a reward, because the last time I took a long nap, I woke up and I couldn't move at all. At first I was worried that it might be sleep paralysis, then I remembered that I'm just lazy.
At least you have gotten to making your "to do list". My pen is in my briefcase next to my chair but just can't seem to generate the energy to reach over and get it. I'm hoping for some divine intervention, un-divine would be fine as long as I didn't have to do it. I won't even get into how far away the notebook is, geez, must be a foot!
My wife was on me last night. Said, "since you have all of this free time on your hands I guess I don't have to worry about rushing home to cook dinner and wash dishes". I told her that "yes, I do have spare time but she does such a fine job at dinner and the dishes that I hate to interject myself and cause more strife in her life". For some reason she didn't smile. I then asked her how she expected so much of me as to make dinner for everybody, I'm so lazy I don't even like making anything for myself to eat. So on top of actually getting to making my to do list I have found that I need a moment....or a day to four to contemplate what she said. I plan on getting to that contemplating thing right after I watch some more T.V. Although the remote is about 18 inches away so I just sit here and suffer while the family is out to school and work. I wish somebody was here to push the "Guide" button for me.
I really didn't see a hockey game until 5-10 years ago when the NHL started having more strict penalties. When I was growing up we usually were watching boxing matches when suddenly a hockey game would break out.
I've finished lots of things on my to do list already though, albeit in my mind but I have it all planned out at least. The only problem is finding time for my wife to accomplish the list while I sit in the chair and stare at the T.V. She is so busy all the time with work, family and activity's. I'm sure I can find time for her to do the little things, mow grass, fix the roof, mend the fence.
Wow, all this typing and thinking has really tired me out. Think I'll take Mark Twain's advise, "Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow", except for the nap.
I don't mean to drift away from the original post, but I tried boxing recently to help increase my stamina. The trainer at the gym suggested that I try skipping to get in better shape. After doing that for an hour, he handed me a rope and said, “Use this. You won't look as gay.” I actually ended up in a couple of fights and I have some framed pictures hanging on the wall in my office. I hung them sideways so that it looks like I’m standing up. When someone looks at them and asks me why my eyes are closed, I just blame it on the flash. I hated the stupid questions they always ask in the post fight interviews. “After managing to move around and avoid contact with your opponent for the first two rounds, you got knocked out seven seconds into the third round. What happened?” Well, it’s still a little hazy, but I have to admit that what my opponent managed to accomplish in the third round was due to a brilliant piece of strategy. First, he punched me in the face, repeatedly, and then I fell down.
Don't think going off topic is relevant anymore on this post. Half of us are retards for considering fab'ing our own overhead lifting devise, the other half....???
Retards for getting involved in such a ridiculous conversation..
LOL! You might be right Brent!
Cheers!!
