"even eternally free people are enslaved by the process of living"
I realize that I post more often than I actually have anything to say. It's something like a 5 to 1 ratio. With that in mind...
For the last week, I have basically been sitting on my ass and doing nothing. Except for the occasional parts of the day where I drive somewhere to sit on my ass with friends and do nothing. Alcohol sometimes is involved in the doing nothing. So far, this sounds like I'm just trying to rub in people's faces the fact that they go to work and I do nothing.
Today, I have to go to work. Which has reminded me of something very important. The fact that I need to go back to school. To me, school serves a wonderful purpose. It's not that I'm working my way towards a degree so that I can get a better job (although, it does do that). It's a reminder that when I am at school, I could be working, but I'm not. I am spending money to not be working, this is true, but it means I am putting off the inevitable full-time job. I get to sit in a class room and learn (or usually in my case, amuse myself) for a few hours a day. I get to mutually bitch to classmates about life. I get to suck up to a professor. I get to cram for tests and bullshit papers.
When compared to finding a job, this sounds kind of ideal. The problem being that all of my friends and I live with our parents. Which is the one thing I regret about college is not living away from home while my parents (really just the one) pay my upkeep in a dorm (despite the fact that I hated dorm life).
Which brings me to my next train of thought: if I want to keep bullshitting, I should go to grad school. But, if I want to move OUT then I should probably just graduate and get a real job. I'm not opposed to working, mind you, just to working full-time. I work better on a part time basis. In fact, I probably get MORE done, on account of being there less. I feel like I should work harder on account of how often I don't work.
I think I'll hop in the shower before work and think about the after work portion of the day which will include the following: hot fuzz, hot tub, wine. Mmmm.
