Becoming

When I woke up today I was dreading all the work that I would have to do today. I was hoping to have nothing to do today and enjoy the day off, but instead ended up with a list of things that I needed to accomplish. As I was lying in bed, not wanting to get out because I knew that it would mean I actually had to start the day and be productive, I was wondering what  the point of doing all this work was. In a few years I won't care about the grades I got this semester or how much I accomplished at work, so why do I put so much effort into doing these things? Why not just take the day off? After all I did wake up tired today, I could use a day off.


Far be it from me though to possibly be able to justify such a stance towards work for very long. 

Love Story #1

So in honor of Valentine's Day I figured that I would write a little love story. Love is one of the greatest things that we can experience as humans and so I wanted to hopefully honor that by writing a little story. For now the title is Love Story #1, very creative I know. You will notice that it is very much written from the perspective of a man, and more specifically my own personal one. I didn't feel up to the task of providing the point of view of the woman and because of that I feel the story is incomplete in a way. So if someone feels up to the task of providing the woman's point of view that would be awesome. Actually that might be a good creative exercise now that I think about it. Anyway, hope you enjoy.

Valentine's Day Rant

With Valentine's Day quickly approaching I've been thinking about how retailers make a big deal out of this holiday and why for some reason this holiday is such a big deal (for couples anyway) in our culture. Why is it that people feel the need to celebrate their love for each other on this one day? What is wrong with all the others days of the year? Are those other days not good enough or something?
