I cannot believe how much slacking I was able to accomplish today. Sure, most people would not consider slacking an accomplishment, but I am a goal-driven individual, and for me to accept that I did absolutely nothing, well, that would be too much.
I'm trying to make up for it now by doing a batch of laundry and putting up this journal entry, but since this is technically Sunday now, I guess these don't officially count.
On the plus side, I did see a lot of sports on tv. I watched multiple football games, including but not limited to Texas getting crushed by Oklahoma, and Nebraska falling apart at Missouri; I also watched the Yankees beat the Redsox, in which a 31-year old pushed a 72-year old to the ground (referencing the scuffle between Pedro Martinez and Don Zimmer), and the Cubs defeat the Marlins. Despite being a Yankees fan, I'd have to root for the Cubs if they meet in the World Series - I'm a bigger fan of underdogs and 'the little guy'.
On another note, I organized my music collection, ripped mp3s from most of my CDs, and assembled a suite of 170 high-energy songs for workouts that I'll be loading onto a Rio Cali, just as soon as it arrives from Amazon.com.
It's hard to believe that just two weeks ago I completed an 87-mile skating event. I certainly have a pretty wide variance in how I spend my time. As it is right now, I feel adrift. It would be nice to have some kind of calling - something greater than myself that I felt compelled to focus on. But I don't have that right now, so I don't feel as bad as I probably should about wasting a Saturday.
Do you have a calling? Or are you just keeping yourself distracted?

If you call ripping an entire music collection and assembling 170 high energy songs doing nothing, I'd hate to see a productive day.
For me, I've found whenever I have spare cycles, I spend time thinking about or working on the comic.
