To all of my readership:
yannow, I’ve heard a lot of people say they like to be busy. I’ve often wondered why that is. I mean, yeah, I know as human beings we like to feel useful…needed. But oddly enough, it’s only ATI people I’ve head this “love to be busy” thing from, and I’m starting to wonder if it doesn’t have something to do with, despite all the wonderful resources, not knowing what one wants to do in life or what one’s life calling is.
Maybe it’s just a feeling that looking back over life, one may see a lot of accomplishments, but doesn’t see anything (much) they think is worthwhile even though all of their time had been vied for. I wodner if being busy isn’t a way to lie to one’s self in the present, to ignore the past, and to look to the future for more things to do almost as an opiate to releave the pain of still feeling that despite said accomplishemts, their life is empty and vain or at the very least, superficial.
Thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe you’re right. Maybe not.
Maybe being busy keeps people from facing the real issues in their lives. Sometimes having to sit still and just *think* makes you realize that there’s a lot of crap in your life that you don’t want to deal with.
OR maybe these people know what they want out of life and know that, unless they actively chase after it, it won’t happen. Daydreaming gets you no where…busily pursuing your dreams will.
Just a couple thoughts.
No, I’m not offended. Just answering the post. Sorry if it’s a bit cryptic and blunt. That’s just my thoughts.
I couldn’t answer your call cause our reception was out all afternoon/most of the evening (more about that on my blog tomorrow I’m sure). When it finally did come back, I’d taken my phone off and left it to charge next door. I think that must’ve been when you called or something. Anyway, I’ll catch up with you later, I’m sure.
Maybe your posts are just boring?
Howton’s got a point.
You claim to be interested in making a career in the entertainment industry. It seems to me that a prerequisite for that would involve being in the least bit entertaining when given the opportunity. For example, when posting to an audience on a blog.
This has been your daily dose of discord. Have a nice day!

true dat, but I’m a bastard that makes shit up in my head. Unfortunaltey, I lead a very dull life compared to the shit that most people do. My blog, therefore, reflects that. Thaks for the ePoops.
