Dave had a very good point in accordance to my post about laziness! I guess I&#039;m just not ready to stop being lazy yet! I wish I was, because it&#039;s getting me into trouble, although, this past weekend I decided NOT to procrastinate and I stayed in until most of my work for this week was finished! I felt very successful and proud of myself. I&#039;m going to have to try that again this weekend and see how it goes, so i guess my laziness is slowly but surely fading away! <br />
<br />
I was reading a few passages about war for my Writing class, and then we had to response to a few questions in terms of the passages, one was something along the lines of, &quot;Did you learn something about war?&quot; and the other was something like, &quot;Do you think it would be beneficial for politicians to read these?&quot; And I realized that I don&#039;t even know what a politician IS, let alone do i know if they should read the passages?! I hate news, I have government and I hate history. I guess that&#039;s probably a bad thing, I&#039;m definitely going to fall behind on my current events, but I just have absolutely not interest in any of these things what-so-ever! I didn&#039;t vote because I just couldn&#039;t bring myself to care enough about it. Plenty of people have tried to get me to change my views, watch the news or read the paper, but I&#039;m just not into it at all! I didn&#039;t even know about that Tsunami thing until like two weeks after! And I still don&#039;t really even know what happened, I just know that somewhere, a lot of people are suffering because of it. And don&#039;t get me wrong, I totally feel for them, and it&#039;s not like I&#039;m trying to AVOID knowing about any of it, I just won&#039;t go out of my way to find out. If someone brings it up to me I&#039;ll listen, but I usually won&#039;t comment on it or anything. I feel like I sound like an extremely selfish person, and I&#039;m sorry if I do, but I&#039;m really not at all!!! I care a lot about like the starving children in Africa and those poor people in Afghanistan (I THINK that&#039;s where it is... oops... that&#039;s really bad...) that have no say at all in most of their lives, I just am completely uninterested in the news! And I don&#039;t really think that is something I can just change about myself either. I also think that could be why some of my art work isn&#039;t as strong as it could be? Because a lot of artists have very strong political views, one way or another, and if I was going to do a piece making some kind of political statement... of ANY sort... I wouldn&#039;t even know where to start?!<br />
<br />
On a less political note, I watched an AWESOME movie last night, I&#039;m sure someone has heard of it. It&#039;s called &quot;Breakin&quot; from like 1984 or something. Me and two of my girlfriends have a strange obsession with attempting to break dance, and this movie was incredible! the acting was horrible which just made it even better because there was something to laugh at! I highly recommend it to anyone who has a fascination with break dancing, doing the robot or cheesy 80&#039;s flicks with lots of spandex and cut off shirts! However, if you can&#039;t find humor in bad acting, this movie probably isn&#039;t for you!<br />

I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to NOT procrastinate, because  <u class="tb_u">I really can&#039;t seem to get the hang of it</u> !! Like today for instance... I had a paper due yesterday that I didn&#039;t do... and I should be doing it RIGHT NOW! I have nothing else to do at this point in time, but I just can&#039;t bring myself to write this paper! And it&#039;s not even like I&#039;m totally uninterested in it or anything, I just won&#039;t do it! I save  <strong class="tb_b">everything</strong>  possible to the  <u class="tb_u">very</u>   <u class="tb_u">last</u>   <u class="tb_u">minute</u> . My laziness is so overwhelming that it&#039;s becoming completely rediculous! If anyone has any suggestions...  <strong class="tb_b">ANYTHING AT ALL</strong> ... please let me know!! I&#039;m desperate!<br />

I don&#039;t really know how to use this thing, it&#039;s a requirement for a class. I saw a demonstration of it but there was so much going on that I didn&#039;t catch it all! I&#039;m sure I&#039;ll figure it out eventually. Hey Jenn if you&#039;re around there somewhere I just wanted to tell you that I&#039;ve caught you a delicious bass. If anyone can give me some nifty tips and/or fun stuff to do on here- please do!!<br />
