Vive la Revolution
Ok. I'm working on becoming a true idler. A loafer. A vagabond. I suppose the act of working toward this goal is pretty self-defeating. Nevertheless, I have decided that the pressure to get a job and use your time in a "productive" manner is evil. I have resolved to spend more time in idle pusuits, such as reading, eating, and updating my livejournal. Why work? That life demands at least 8 hours of daily toil in order to obtain its necessitites is a nasty lie told to the masses so that they will buy more useless, plastic crap and spur on the economy. To what end? I am a late hippi-bloomer. I want a garden, a hammock, and some decent books. I am willing to work the minimum amount that is necessary to obtain these things. I can't imagine this would require more than 3 days a week of employment. I shall be a part-time laborer. That's what I've always been, I suppose. I am just embracing it now that my years of part time education are coming to an end. Now, the problem of finding the least offensive job that will allow me to work 2-3 days a week...I do fear, though, that I won't enjoy my idleness unless I feel like I should be doing something productive. For example, a snow day is something beautiful to be savored because one knows that one should be at school, but a day in the middle of summer break can be much less enjoyable (and sometimes downright boring). A snow day is never a boring day. What I need is a "job" in which I don't actually have to show up, but which makes me believe that I should. Then I could fully enjoy my idle days. Perhaps it would be enough to just think of all the people going to work every day when I am out in my hammock.
In other news, I went to see a lecture last night entitled "Why the Liberal Arts Can Not Be Justified." It was not nearly so titilating as the title would have one believe. The speaker is actually a liberal arts professor who thinks that the liberal arts are the highest form of education, but that that education is useless in regards to the outside world...which may well be true, but I was expecting something a bit wackier and controversial. Everyone already knows that studying poetry won't give you any useful skills in surviving in the world. I don't see why this guy is getting paid to tell us stuff we already know. Such is the life of a liberal arts professor...
Finally, chewable vitamins are the best. In no way are caplet vitamins better than chewable vitamins. I see no reason why anyone would buy vitamins in caplet form.
