minute.

Share it Please
i really am excited to be writing again. however, i do find it rather hard to actually figure out what i am going to write about. im not sure if thats because i have so much or so little to write. also, i feel like alot of the time, i have a ton of thoughts squirming around in my head and how could i just choose one to see the light of day. and other times, i feel like why in the world would people even want to waste a couple of minutes reading something crazy that i thought about. but this is one thing that i am certain of: this is my blog. and as a result, i'll write whatever i want.

recently when thinking about reviving my blog- i liked the idea of it. however i was thinking that maybe now my blogging may be too real- too intense -too honest -too transparent and that i should probably just stick to journeling, where i can bare my soul and not dare be judged by anyone. but then i realized , with the help of my new sweet computer, that id rather type then put a pencil to the paper. and also, i wont be accumulating more clutter than i already have. and in my small dwelling, this is of high importance.

so the thought of the hour: thinking about how many hours you spend on certain tasks may make you want to vomit.

for example:
8 hours of work a day. thats 40 hours a week. and 2080 hours a years.
(and in case you didnt realize it..2080 hours comes out to 86 2/3 whole days...)

a 30 minute lunch at work per day. 2.5 hours a week. 130 hours a year. (5.42 days)

a 10 min commute. 20 minutes per day. 1.667 hours a week. almost 87 hours a year just driving to and from work.

SICK YET?

let's just say i spend 30 minutes on facebook a day (thats probably being very conservative)

3.5 hours a week. 182 hours a year. 7.58 days a year on FACEBOOK!! not how i want to spend a whole week...

thoughts similar to these ones are the sole reason that you will hardly ever find me watching the television. and no im not some crazy who thinks tv is from the devil (though its debatable).

these thoughts are also part of the reason i find it incredibly hard to work and enjoy a 40 hour a week job..

and yes, im aware, this is not the happiest and most intriguing blog, but its what's on my mind and it is MY blog. and now im off to bed to sleep (8 hours. 56 a week. 2912 a year. 121 days...)
