You might think that I can't be that much of a procrastinator, because if I was then I wouldn't ever get around to writing anything in this stupid blog. However, bear in mind that it has in fact taken me 5 days to write this so far... That's impressive even for me!
So why do I procrastinate so much? Is it because I can't face doing things I don't want to do? Not really. Is it because I don't really know what I'm supposed to be doing? No. I think it is because the world is a very boring place. And when I say the world, I actually mean the world that I see day to day.
I spend about 2 and a half hours a day in my car driving the same route to and from work. I sit at work in the same place, staring at the same people and making the same inane chit chat. We all do this, but why? Why didn't I choose a career that involved traveling, or doing different, exciting things every day. I wanted to be a vet in a zoo. That would have been awesome! "Hello Mr. Lion, what seems to be the problem today? Oh, you have tooth ache... Well let me just stick my hand in their and..." hmm. Maybe not.
In the new year I'm going to buy myself a camera, a half decent one. I have a big romantic image in my head of it improving my life immensely. I'll look at every detail in nature, grabbing every opportunity for an award winning photograph. I'll take arty black and white shots and vibrant full colour landscapes to try and encompass my emotions. Actually, I'll probably end up taking photos of my mates when drunk, but it's a nice idea!
Should I be worried about not experiencing the world? Are there people out there who are traveling all over and think, "hmm... I'd really like to spend my day sitting in an office"? I think this may be one of the few things where the grass is not in fact greener on the other side!
