Yep still sitting here wandering around the empty places of my mind. It's pretty scary in there, I think I need an escort. But now I am stuffing my face as well, with this awesome spinach artichoke crab dip Ashley and I made last night.
I was reading an article the other day about the death of boredom, and how it has adverse effects on our society. It was a really interesting read and I couldn't help but somewhat agree with it. Anyway the article was saying (insert bouffant joke here) that boredom has all but disappeared because there is en endless supply of stimulus around us at all times. Apparently the lack of empty nothing time has a negative effect on our mental well being. The act of sitting with nothing to do and pondering our inner selves apparently is a very healthy thing. I agree, but at the same time can't help it.
There are simply too many things I want to do. Too many pictures to take, too many movies to see, too many 3D objects to model, too many recipes to try, too many places to visit. I wish I could be content to sit and do nothing, I wish I didn't have mental lists running through my head all day, constant lists, drilling into my brain, pushing me to excel and accomplish, but slowly driving me to insanity, or at the very least instability. The need to create and do, outweighs the desire to be bored and ponder. This is the battle that plays out in my head every day. I usually pay it no mind and go about my business. Let the epic battle rage in the recesses of my mind while I enjoy my artichoke dip. Be sure to tell me who wins when it is over.
.............. lunch is over, back to work. :)
