This Blog is Brought to You by Procrastination

I'm blogging because I have a report due next week that I'm afraid to start.

The whole situation has gotten ridiculous, because, really, the report is not that bad.  Yet, yesterday, after furtively promising myself I'd outline my paper and take some more notes, I decided, damn, it was a beautiful day, and probably a secular sin to spend the evening in the library.  So, I went on a run.  

I literally ran away from my paper.  

This realization was humbling, but since I always love to push the envelope, I thought I'd really procrastinate, and, like, start a blog.  I don't really feel that bad about this exercise in avoidance, because if you're reading this, you're probably procrastinating, too.  I'm just guessing that you have more important things to do than read my blog, and that's OK with me, because I have more important things to do than write a blog.  We're basically kindred spirits.  

I'm a little bummed, because, well, I wish I did important things when I procrastinated.  Like, work on that world hunger problem, for example.  Or try to do something about the lack of world peace.  Or maybe vacuum.  But instead I usually browse facebook to see if there are any status updates, because how can I write my paper if someone I know "smiles, but is secretly dying inside"? (Yeah, that was a real facebook status that I sort of wanted to like, but didn't.)  And if no one has an updated facebook status, then I sort of just sit and....be.  It sounds zen, but it's really just sad.  

So, anyway, this is my blog.  I will do what I can with it, and if it serves merely as a distraction from real life, so be it.  Happy reading.
