I lazed away a sunday in front of the idiot box .. watching one movie after another .. with the grey cells working overtime all over the week .. maybe it helps to shutoff any thinking process and gape at the rapidly shifting images that the screen throws at you. the Parasympathetic system kicks in ..and ..bye bye adrenaline...
The day goes by .. the unshaven chin flourishes into a stubble over the weekend ..books lying in the bookshelf throw accusing glances at me ...like a girlfriend betrayed .. and yet the perverse pleasure of lying on the couch with work undone ...shopping postponed .. presentations unmade .. and the triumph of laziness over guilt ...is my way of getting back in a small way at the world that keeps throwing deadlines at me..and thats that.
But would an ode to laziness be complete without a mention of Dunbar from Joseph Hellers immortal Catch-22.....who believed the only way to prolong life is to indulge in the most boring and unpleasant tasks possible so that the finite period of time that we have would seem longer ..period.
