I skipped a day, but nothing really happened yesterday, I basically griped about the fact I couldn't walk. Oh well, everybody gets a gripe day. Today is going to be slow also, although we're going to get to see Manchester United play Manchester City! (Cross town rivals in England :D) Other than that, life as a surgery victim really is just a lot of waiting. And I mean waiting for the next exciting thing, the next event that you care about, never being able to go out and say "man, I'm sick of this. I'M going to do something exciting today, and better, RIGHT now."
I really think that any Americans who are stuck vegetating at a desk job (which actually probably aren't all bad) 24/7 are going to die before their bodies give out; I mean that their brains are literally going to shrivel up because they literally do NOTHING fun all day. This week I refused to do homework because I didn't want to die in misery and further lower the serious mental deficit I'm already in. Screw making yourself more miserable when you already can't do what you exist to do (for me, that's being independent and really inventing new things to do and changing up this "routine").
Right now I'm sitting with an empty plate in front of me from breakfast as both of my parents are at their jobs and my brother is having fun at school and I'm sitting here either playing starcraft/listening/watching videos of starcraft. (I do want to get better at the game, and it's a complex one.) The problem is, I've done it all morning, so after this I'm going to go exercise. (just go to the living room floor and do crunches or push-ups or something.) Monotony sucks.
I feel the need to justify my life at this point, because I'm not doing exactly what I want. I really hope the rest of my life isn't like being a surgery patient; that would suck.
Hmm...I'm not sure about the vegetating desk workers dying beofre everyone else. Just because you don't find intellectual and/or emotional stimulation at their job doesn't mean they won't find it elsewhere. We pretty much do that with school now. We just make it through the day then go back to our rooms or go home and do what we find joy in. I guess it's all about finding balance between the monotonous routine and the other aspects of your life. :)
ReplyDeleteyeah, balance will help... it's just that I really think a lot of people don't balance, they just overload on one thing and (especially the dumb people) really can't imagine things to do other wise.
