The Woes and Joys of Procrastination

I’ve had all day to do this research project and I don’t have anything to show for it. I’ve paced, I’ve brainstormed, I’ve even taken a midday shower in hopes of clearing my mind. But all I’ve to during these 12 hours of pandering is made a bunch of new Spotify playlists and drafted a few text messages I’ll never send to my ex’s
“Hey, I’m bored. Let me see your boobs.”
At least not sober…
I know that entertainment isn’t the key to jump starting my motivation, but a nice pair of boobies can have magical effects.
Oh, I almost forgot. I have also started to download a bunch of movies I haven’t seen yet. So far…
and
If I finish in time, I can watch one of these! I’m trying to give myself some incentive to complete the task ahead of me. Elementary, I know.
I thought “getting a beer” would be a good one. I could finish at a decent time and head out with some friends for a much-needed beverage. But my procrastination and laziness got the best of me. Not to mention, these pajamas I’m wearing are VERY comfortable. So trying to tease my movie love was my next best alternative.
But In the process of NOT looking for relative websites to help me with my project, I’ve found a bunch of interesting blogs. I thought scrubbing through categories that were similar to mine would mean that I would find more like-minded dudes, who told funny stories of their ups and down.
I was wrong.
Blogging about your feelings seems to be a mostly female thing. And there aren’t any complaints. I just thought the kindred souls that I would find would be just as lost and male as me. But I’ll take a pretty lady hiding behind a shroud of dating expertise any day.
…and an academic who teaches English and reports on her “small victories and epic failures”.
I doubt either one of them need my help in the readership department, but there you go.
I’m fascinated at how many women on this site have blogs like theirs. Not to say that I thought women couldn’t write or put together a cohesive prose, it’s just that I hardly meet women with the ability to express themselves further than 140 characters. It’s obvious I’ve been fishing in a shallow, illiterate pool.
I hope this little post is enough to get myself in gear. If not, my insomnia will kick in and I’ll pull an all nighter and an all dayer. But I will enjoy drinks this weekend with my good friend Ski and Barwin, to celebrate Ski’s birthday. This will be my reward for surviving the week. And then, on Monday, I’ll start my Insanity Workout. Six-pack here I come!
I’ve Never Had Breakfast With a Tiffany

The night has its pleasures…quietness mostly. That alone makes it easier to dribble out my thoughts.
As I scroll through my Netflix, I notice that the only 5 star recommendation they have for me this week is, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”.
Laugh it out people, but I sent an e-mail to Netflix to complain about this obvious misjudgment.
Dear Netflix,
There are 100′s of martial art movies that get dumped in your database every month. There’s not one you would recommend? Do you have to throw my emotional lapses in my face? It was one sad week, ONE! I didn’t think I would watch that many Gregory Peck and Marilyn Monroe flicks. Of course I threw in some Sinatra and Dean, but you still regurgitated “Breakfast”!
Filled with limitless disdain, your enemy,

Dear Manny,
Don’t forget that the young beauty that stars in the film is Audrey Hepburn, a sexy brunette with a dazzling smile and a comical repertoire.
Damn good point. I have to chuckle at a girl who keeps her perfume in her mailbox.
Oh and did you notice the male co-star? It’s George Peppard, a.k.a Hannibal Smith, from the A-Team! You love the A-Team Manny! You’ve watched the first two seasons!
You got me again Netflix. I’ve watched this man and his crew shoot AK’s at nothing for years. I guess I can endure him as a struggling writer. I’ll hold my breath for a car chase.
The novel that the movie is based on was written by the famous Truman Capote! You’ve watched some of the other adaptations created from his works. Like, “In Cold Blood” and the 1953 black and white con flick “Beat the Devil”. You even researched the remake! You also watched the Capote’s biographic flick, “Capote” starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Your quite the fan! So we’d appreciate it if you continue to rate your movies honestly and keep up the variety!
Filled with complete joy and happiness, your best friend
Netflix!
Dear Netflix,
You’re like A.I. and out of this world. What’s my favorite number?
6
Amazing.
So I’m watching “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. Netflix made a good argument…too good. It’s also a classic. And if I’m going to be a film guru of the world, I need to see the favorites. And these films are favorites for a reason.
“You must’nt give your heart to a wild thing. The more you do, the stronger they get, until they’re strong enough to run into the woods or fly into a tree, then into a higher tree, then into the sky!”
Those are some real words there Miss Golightly.
I’ll have to watch a lot of Arnold Schwarzenegger movies to put my movie equilibrium back in check. Maybe a couple Korean revenge flicks too.
Thank you Netflix.
